For his extraordinary service in WWI, Sergeant Alvin York received the American Distinguished Service Cross and the Congressional Medal of Honor. Word of York's distinguished service reached America before he did. Upon his return he received numerous offers to do a movie based on his battlefield heroics. York refused as long as he could. In 1941, however, the movie "Sergeant York" hit movie theaters. It starred Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan, and Joan Leslie. Because York did not want to profit from killing, he insisted that all the proceeds from the movie go to religious works. More importantly, York was able to reconcile his pacifist beliefs in a time of war.

In 1887, Alvin York was born to a large family in Tennessee. At the age of 28, Alvin dedicated his life to Christ and became a deacon in a small pacifist church. Two years later, World War 1 etched York's name in the history books. Despite his pacifist beliefs, York denied status as a contentious objector, and headed for training at Camp Gordon in Georgia. It was here that York displayed his extraordinary rifle skills. York became instantly famous for killing 25 enemy soldiers, capturing 132 prisoners, and taking out 35 machine guns. How did Sergeant York handle this fame? Find out in tomorrow's program.

You saw in Part 1 how this debacle began --- now you'll see how the US Army's house of cards came crashing down.
The M247 Segeant York DIVAD Debacle is perhaps the most famous (infamous?) peacetime catastrophe in the history of the US Army. It seemed so simple in the beginning; just build a Self-Propelled Anti Aircraft Gun out of a bunch of off-the-shelf components. Easy enough, right? WRONG! We're talking about the leadership of the US Army here, a bunch of bean-counting brasshats who work out of the world's largest, most crowded, most corrupt (and most dilapidated) office building in the world --- they couldn't find their @$$es with a flashlight, let alone ensure a weapon ACTUALLY WORKS before they spend YOUR money to buy it! It was all just another day at the Pentagon. In this documentary, you'll see what the Army tried to pull on you, and remember; corrupt, ineffectual, and worthless leaders ALWAYS equip their people with corrupt, ineffectual, and worthless equipment --- that's how the stuff comes into EXISTENCE in the first place!
From the 1941 Howard Hanks Movie, "Sgt York" the hollywood version of the life of Medal of Honor Receipant and World War I hero Alvin C. York. In the film, Alvin York wants to buy a piece of "bottom land" from it's owner Mr Thompkins. After Mr. Thompkins breaks his word about holding the land for him, Alvin York goes and gets drunk and then sets out to kill Mr. Thompkins and then ..... Well, just watch the clip. Also see "Over the Top" a clip of the battle scene in this movie here: www.youtube.com Alvin C York was America's most decorated soldier of WWI. Read more about Alvin C York here: www.sgtyork.org

Re-release trailer for Howard Hawks' the critically acclaimed biopic of World War I hero, Alvin York (1887-1964), starring Gary Cooper, Joan Leslie and Walter Brennan. York, a fundamentalist Christian whose exploits during the Muse Argonne Offensive earned him medals for valor from both France and the United States -- including the Congressional Medal of Honor -- had refused all offers to film his story, until, alarmed by the rise of facism and the proliferation of appeasement movement spearheaded by such prominent public figures as Charles Lindergh, he relented. The result is a superb motion picture that garnered nine Academy Award nominations -- including Best Picture Director and Best Director. Gary Cooper won his first Best Actor Oscar for his heartfelt performance in a role for which he was personally selected by the real-life York.
