Soldiers and sailors mostly understand that success in war involves a lot of luck. Who survives and who doesn't may depend on a slight difference in the ballistic trajectory of a warhead or the difference of a foot or so in where the soldier stands.
But some soldiers have more luck than others. Or perhaps enough skill and determination to make a difference.
Such a soldier was Audie Murphy.
Before he was a movie star, he won a lot of medals.
Here is part of his story: his second Silver Star in three days.
