On Jan 10 2017, a reader said:
It was one of the most inspiring and inspirational book that I have ever read before. Before he found God he was a rowdy a drunk, A tall redhead a man from the Tennessee Mountains but also a marksmanship with a gun. WW1 breaks out and buy this time he has found God and quit the booze that was destroying him, he believed in nonviolence, he would not kill another, he was drafted into the war. Before shipping out he told his superiors he would not carry a gun and kill another man, at a captains mast more like generals coming together to speak to him about the situation, the commander officer stands up, and says go back to Tennessee for a week if you come back and decide not to fight in this war we will dischargee you! He retires home and when he gets there he speaks to his mother says he must go up to the mountains for three days, and while up there he feels this passion, this filling that's not understandable to him at the time, he comes down After three days up there. He walks up to who to his mother, I must fight in this war,I cannot explain it mother but I must fight it is my divine right! I know even though I do not want to, I must he says. He returns back to his command and says he will fight for America the land of the free and brave. On October 18, 1918 in the region of France, not only does he does the impossible and on believable situations that are about to happen he does it with Valor and on her, knowing that, this war is for glory of others to achieve high positions in government, or the thought of ruling the world which mini before him have tried, but even know they might study history and military tactics and believe that they are superior over others, they always make the same mistake over extend themselves, or choose to fight in winter on a trainer that they have not studied, two men as Hitler Stalin any other mental power who dries for power over people and land only seek pain at the end. Never trusting the people around you because knowing what you're doing is wrong, so how can you trust your Advisers Truly! Alexander great he conquered great masses of land and while he did he let the populations Live as they were worship their gods, his fall drunkenness arrogance and one in more than he could conquer. Please me to the thought prize like in Alvin York, or like in Hannibal who went through the Alps in the middle winner losing many of his men but they went on with pride, the Roman oppression has fallen into despair, he did the impossible just like Alvin York, Alvin York's entire Batoon what killed us at six man who hit the ground while he charged up the hill towards massive fire in Peyer coming down on him and this man was easily visible with the naked eye, being a marksmanship was a Blessing any never missed right between the eyes before he pulled the trigger he spoke in German lay down your weapon or I will kill you if you even suddenly move I will take your life which I do not do not want to, but some move then he killed, a train was not develop what made by earth and with that he takes it around and inns up behind enemy lines taken the one in shards saying he will kill him and many others, before he was able to come around them they have notice this man bullets whizzing by his head him never missing on the head shots and now he has them, eventually he takes 132 German soldiers under capture and take some to his camp. This was a very grave situation because this was in the middle, in the US Army was able to go around and take over stop in the events of the Germans to Russia if they would or Reese Russia most like of the war what I have change another direction at this time Oil has lapse call, Winston Churchhill said who controls oil in the future will control the world as of 2017 I believe he is correct and we are still fighting over oil, ever since china has lapsed everybody's economy and corporations have exploded after 1994 with the help of Goldman Sachs they have risen to the top. Alvin York is a hero a man's man we are very few of the gentleman left in this world it's all done by computer you could be in Vegas and drop bombs and Afghan like you were playing a game. War has been around since the beginning what does that mean that it should still keep evolving into the worst kind of war? There will not be any more heroes, there will be no more advisers two great men because is who has the money that will come up on top at the end, technology, no longer Brains or Valor, or the study of art of war. Alvin York receive the medal of honor at their six investigations because of the unbelief story that happen, The more investigations that were put on Alvin York, only hire death count and hire men of who was captured.
