In the movie To Hell and Back, it shows Audie at the induction centers and being turned down. Some of Audie`s war buddies claim that Audie only told half of his T.H.&B. story. Audie was a humble man and did not want to mention his other heroic deeds while at war.
It is too bad that Audie did not receive enough help for the trauma he experienced in WWII.

Audie Murphy is truly one of the great fighting men in modern times. A testament to the old Marine saying: “It’s not the size of the man in the fight, but the size of the fight in the man.” When I visited the US in 2000, I went to Washington, and took a tour of Arlington cemetary. I skipped JFKs grave not to miss the changing of the guard at the grave of the Unknown soldier. By coincidence I noticed Audie Murphys stone right next to the path there. Awe-inspiring moment..
