Joe<\/em>, he didn&#8217;t live to see it released. I wonder if William Wellman ever saw this picture. It reminds me of a shot of Robert Mitchum at the end of <em>G.I. Joe<\/em>. The role that would make Mitchum a star. Ernie Pyle, I salute you. You gave a voice to the dog soldiers, the guys slogging through the mud and freezing while being shot at with Howitzers. In the photo it almost looks like you&#8217;re sleeping. Rest Easy, you earned it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Man Falls Dying Only Once This is pretty wild.
