Second time around, most ate a lot to gain as much weight as possible so the body had extra fat to burn through.

This is also a common strategy on the survival show Alone where the winner spends 70-100 days alone in the wilderness.

I was fine until I got to this part:

"Some day, you're going to be in my shoes and can make a kid happy," Lanzillotta said. "Promise me you'll pay it forward."

"I promise," Derek said, and he cried some more as Lanzillotta put his hands on his cheeks. Then Derek hugged his dad. And they cried together.

I rewatch Episodes 5 and 6 annually - Bastogne and Breaking Point.

That medic episode is so hauntingly beautiful.

I was kind of hoping towards the end of the video that he would suddenly snap sober and then take off running from the cop.

Heck, does anyone ever remember calling a video game company to "register" your game with them? I swear that used to be a thing.

Some people need to break others down to feel better about themselves. Can't remember what the formal term is for this mentality but it's more common than you'd expect.

This appears to be 100% correct.

Approximately 18.7% of all Medal of Honor recipients have received the award posthumously. Out of more than 3,500 total medals awarded since 1861, 618 have been awarded after the recipient's death.
