We are also all 5 decked out in merch and we each have our Quackbangs! Keep up the beyond incredible work!!!
Thank you for sharing great content! 😂
The Chinese targeting her....I was like, no no no. Your about to kill John Wicks dog.
only in this case. it's an entire Marine Company your going to make angry. LOL
@@nadjasunflower1387 John Wick IS an entire Marine Company. 🙂
@@toddhutchins2492 Ya know, I'm not exactly sure which would be worse as an adversary.
As a horse crazy 6-year-old I remember crying when the news reported that Reckless had died. Yes, her passing was still a big enough deal to be covered by the national news. It was a simpler time.
It's not like she was a mascot. Not even just 'this is an animal who we had onhand who was in the area when battle happened'. This was a legitimate war hero. As in, without her, battles would have been lost. Kind of a big deal
It was perfect that she (a marine) was bread with another marine instead of the "Superstar" was perfect... She was a Marine, and so was the sire.. Perfect...
There is a statue of Sgt. Reckless at Camp Pendleton, funded by donations. There is also a similar statue of her at the Kentucky Horse Park, and one at the Marine Corp Heritage Center in Virginia. I think that every person who has worked with horses in the US knows her story. A few months ago I went to Sabaton's song suggestion site and made the suggestion that they feature Sgt. Reckless and all of the animals that have also served in many wars, in one of their songs. It will probably never happen but these animals do deserve to be honored for what they have done.
The south koreans also have a statue of her, and a VR game where you protect Reckless as she's transporting ammunition up Vegas.
The Chinese chewed garlic because it's been used since forever for its natural antibiotics, and when chewed raw acts as a mild "stimulant". It's like a chewable coffee that might stop you getting sick... so exactly what armies would want.
Many armies have done/do it. Russia is another notable example. The French used onions for a food supply, since they could grow almost anywhere and can be harvested in a matter of days. Be planted by one section and by the time the next gets there, they can be harvested as they plant the next lot and so on. It had similar properties to the garlic, and they would chew garlic when it was available.
> Garlic has been used as an antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal agent. It may help the body resist or destroy viruses and other microorganisms. It does this by boosting the immune system. Garlic is also claimed to fight infections.
We're America: Don't fuck with our boats and don't fuck with our horses
Actor Michael Caine served in Korea while he was doing his National Service in the British Army. He says he still has some interesting reactions to the smell of garlic.
If you guys didnt notice it, that quote about the garlic came from Michael Caine, the famous british actor (Alfred from the Batman movies).
Why has not Netflix picked up The Fat Electrician....greatest wartime story teller ever!
They would just fuck it up.
Because they can't make him a Non-binary black woman who overcomes all odds that were stacked against them...
@@toddhutchins2492or cancel him after 3 seasons. 🥺
Netflix and 'TFE?'
Oh, HELL no!
She made all these trips...on her own...62 year old former marine from south carolina
Fun additional fact - the Korean War never officially ended. It's just been in a perpetual cease fire for decades now.
yup...not many people know this. they think just because it's " ended " that there was a peace settled. In actuality it's just been an extended cease fire all along. which is why the North was crapping themselves in the 70's when the " World War Tree " incident happened. Because they knew by this time they were no match for what would be coming at them if it got " hot " again.
We need a movie for her. She deserves it.
She was a Mongolian breed. They actually have been used in battle for hundreds of years. I can't help but think that even with that heritage, she was a unique step above and beyond.
To add to the badassery of Sergeant Reckless, she was more of *pony* than a horse.
It makes sense that the shortest one would be the hardass.
@@bogustoast22none25 Yeah. Gotta be tough when everyone around you is in a higher weight class.
If you want to be even more impressed by Reckless' actions during the last stand, she did all her trips to and from the hills without guidance
I certainly don't remember learning about the Korean war in school, but I am a fan of old war movies and TV shows, including M.A.S.H, which is set during the Korean War. Watching the old movies and TV shows, can really give you at least a decent idea of what happened during those wars. Some of my favorite old war TV shows, while being comedies, are also really informative about their respective wars, such as Hogan's Heroes, McHale's Navy, and M.A.S.H.
The easy way to learn what was not covered in school just listen to Billy Joels song We Didn't Start The Fire. Its a great run through US history.
He would make a GREAT 6th grade history teacher..oohrahh..semper fi..62 year old former marine from south carolina
What year did you go to boot camp? 17/7/1980, MCRD, I class 1073.
Great reaction, I had the benefit of knowing more about the Korean War than most because 2 of my uncles fought in it. My dad was in Vietnam, and my Grandfather was on Omaha beach and showed me the 6 bullet holes he got just trying to get off the lander. So I have always had an interest in war history. Later found out that both sides of my family has fought in every War America has been in even the British French war, before the Revolutionary War. Sadly that custom ended with me. I would have been in the Gulf War, but 3 days before shipping out I was hit in a hit and run and it took a year to learn to walk again. Navy said no thanks.
No mare left behind.
BTW, the pigeon guided missile and bat delivered napalm bombs were actual things the U.S. military experimented with because, well, the same reason they tried to train dolphins to retrieve dud torpedoes.
The bat Napalm was something Roosevelt pushed
If you look at that map of the battles along the parallel, you'll see Heartbreak Ridge! It did exist, nice easter egg.
If you think about it. A South Korean race horse (Asian) became a Marine through war and heroism.... and shrapnel.
In South Korea in a city there is a memorial park dedicated to SGT Wreckless and their thanks to America and the USMC for saving them.
I mean, when I was in school, the history books had chapters on the Korean and Vietnam wars, but by the time you had a couple of snow days and an assembly and spent longer than expected on a couple of things, you never actually got around to them, because they were the last chapters at the end of the book (not counting the dumb final chapter that tried to predict the future and was already proven wrong before the book made it off the printing press, 15 years before you arrived in class; no history teacher in the history of history has ever even *planned* to get around to that chapter).
His video about “The deadliest spy, The limping lady “ is severely underrated. I’d like to see your take on it.
Agreed. Wicked story
The toilet paper reference at the end of the video ties into a video he did about "military grade" toilet paper.
As to the beer drinking horse question yes absolutely! You can feed beer to horses! Horses can develop a condition called anhydrosis which in short means they don’t sweat. The beer is actually a treatment for that as it causes a horse to sweat. Sgt. Reckless in this case drank beer simply because the other marines did!
My Grandpa was a drill sergeant in the korean war, and the stories he told were wild. The one I remember vividly is...
A general comes to check on troop training, is up in a tower with troops in lines to the left and right. Down one line was a quad 50 cal turret. Sometimes troops can't handle the turret, it overwhelms their senses and they lock up. This happened and the turret starts walking towards the lined up troops and the general. My grandpa tried prying the troops hands off, slapping him, anything he could think of, eventually he had to beat him in the head with his "steel pot" (helmet) to knock him out so he could stop him, luckily no one was seriously hurt.
Keeping with the Korean theme, I recommend the Fat Electrician video - World War Tee.
World War Tree
The Last war chief is one that is wonderful and gets missed. Hope you react to that
TFE tells ads in a way i actually watch them.
The Great SeaBee Train Robbery. Another TFE great! My uncle was a SeaBee in Korea though I don't know if he was a part of this particular event. He passed in 1977 so we can't ask
This is the perfect example, of how government and bureaucrats should never be looked at, to lead moral and ethical decisions.
Just a note the Korean War didn't just happed it is still happening. The war that has never ended, both sides just settled for a stalemate and faced off waiting to restart the fight.
I graduated way back in 1977 and I learned more about the Korean War from my father and watching MASH on TV. My dad spoke more of Viet Nam, but he enlisted in 1951 for Korea. Worked on a tanker off the coast as a SeaBee.
Christ. I was BORN in 77!
I think you guys might be impressed by "The Last War chief" by TFE.
Oh absolutely, that's an amazing story and I think a newer one though.
One of y'all's best reactions yet
Please do SgtMaj Dan Daly and how gangster he is. It is also done by The Fat Electrician.
I think Reckless would've been eligible for the equivalent to a UK.. Distinguished Conduct Medal.. Military Medal.. or Military Cross for her actions under fire.. in Korea if she was human.
She got 2 purple hearts... Those ain't no joke medals lol
@@Shakeysmoker1 they're not, but they are. I mean they are referred to as " the you forgot to duck " medal. literally the only reason you get one is because you got wounded.
I’ve watched all of the Fat Electrician’s videos and loved everyone of them.
Do the video "old 666" and the eager beavers
SGT Reckless is also a Breyer Model Horse.
There's 2 versions - the original with the French Fourragere pinned on and the second version printed on the blanket. Being a Marine and a Breyer collector since the age of 5, I have both. 😊
@@hollywagner1679 Lucky. I only have the model. Might have to hunt down the blanket.
LOL my combat boots from 1985 weighed 10 lbs steel shank and steel toe
Ya need to do World War Tree
Awesome! This is my favorite TFE video. I enjoy the gorilla note. Along similar lines, the scientific name for the plains bison is Bison bison bison.
I agree that boots have changed drastically. I spent 90-94 in Marine infantry wearing the black books that had flat insoles inside the boot with no real arch support. In Somalia, we carried at least 100lbs of gear hiking up to 10 miles in 115 degree weather. We spread loaded ammo across the entire company to ensure our machinegun, mortar and SMAW gunner teams had more than enough. Glad to see the military has evolved. It reminds me how the NBA players used to just wear the flat converse shoes for games.
What an absolutely brilliant story guys. Horses are totally amazing.
Sgt. Reckless was an awesome horse. Just a shame how she died, it wasn't a peaceful one unfortunately. She ended up having an accident and fell into a barbed wire trench and got seriously hurt. They sedated her and tried to save her, but were unable to do so and passed not long after. A bogus way of going out for an absolutely outstanding horse.
9:26 Imagine them talking about the footwear of their grandfather's era.
1) 🎉🎉Marine Horse was probably from the Remount Service, still in operation then.
2) ‘Flaming Flower ‘ was a bright red called ‘chestnut’.
3) the same sculptor who did the running Secretariat bronzes also did Reckless… and although the statues are larger than life, they are proportionate to the relative sizes of the two horses. ❤❤
She was a Mongolian horse. Could be descended of one of the horses for Ghengis Khan. Her bloodline is possibly a war horse.
I have to say. You are my favorites who react to the Fat Electrician. Have so much fun watching these.
Should queue up his video on the XF 84 Thunderscreech
same as don't mess with america's boats
You guys gotta check out the soldier on meth from the fat electrician it's absolutely hilarious 😂😂. It's a must watch!!
Also so you know majority of German supplies during WW2 was delivered by horse the automobile didn't replace them for may years after that
"WW2 the Germans relied on horses yet which was a good sign they where going to get their schnitzel kicked in" Fatelectrician, some awesome video 👍
Ps not a person has done justice for the last war chief Joe medicine crow do the first reaction video on him would be a great honor to his legacy
Great reaction - love the the way you two react and feed off each others emotional responses !
Somewhere down the line/list REACT to Fat Electrician's Angry Old Veteran vs. 700 Redcoats and American's Freedom Fighter - Lewis Millet - "Fix Bayonets" - BOTH are about something You were NEVER taught in school either ! 😇🗡🗡
If I could pick one video from The Fat Electrician that I think you guys need to watch it would be the Eagle Beavers
Great video! I literally teared up
You mentioned comfortable boots and I remembered in an interview McNiece said in the almost 4yrs he served he only had the 1pair of boots. Also stated they had a hole in them when he was tracking through deep snow and freezing temps. Glad some supplies are better for our military.
Thank you been waiting for this one and love your reaction fellas! I would not cut anything Fat Electrician does/says it is pure gold all of it. And yea I am late joining the party, but I made it better late then never I say!
I had two uncles that served during the Korean War. One was in the !st Marine Division and fought in the Frozen Chosen. The other drove truck in an Air Force convoy.
So the Korean War was not a complete surprise to me, although we did skip over rather quickly in our History class.
The Korean War is responsible for so many advancements in medical practices. CPR, heart massages, surgical tools, triage, so much came from the MASH units.
Go read the description of the Horse in the Book of Job, quoted in the film “Secretariat”..
I owned a Lipozzaner mare ( female like Reckless ) that has to be removed from a community day celebration where she was doing ‘pony rides ‘… because she kept trying to run TOWARD the zinging sounds of the paintball booth!!
The video of the US creating the navy is incredibly done by him
This is my first time seeing this channel and good site, the Maryland flag alone has earned my subscription. Y'all are awesome
Love this story. Y'all are awesome!
I work for the federal government on the civilian side. Have for 23 years. It’s crazy to me how closely things on my side match with things on your side. Shit is run so oddly all the way around. Yeah. Common sense is a rare commodity. Where I’m from, we call it “asking for rainbows and unicorns”. LMAO. Sounds crazy. I know. But that’s how it goes. I remember the year i asked for a package (1 of each) red pens, blue pens, and black pens for supplies. I LITERALLY got a response back asking if I was “asking for art supplies”. Red = corrections. Blue = legal. Black = everything else. IT WAS THEIR OWN RULES! My ability to reply back with a “fuck no you assholes” was withheld and I responded as I should in order to receive what I needed. Meanwhile, we hadn’t exhausted our supply budget with what we asked for, and with my superiors not wanting to go without next year (because if we could live off of less this year then obviously we could live off of less NEXT year), I ended up with A PALLET of staples. Yes. Staples. My unit doesn’t even deal in that much paper! But! We had to spend the money we didn’t need or we wouldn’t get that same budget next year.
I just found you guys (following The Fat Electrician whose handle should be “Storyteller for the Ages.”
I follow a lot of others, too. I simply can’t commit to watching your posts at the drop. You’ll just have to be patient.
The One Great Truth of Government Life: Anything + Bureaucracy = Absolute Garbage. Not just military life, though it is found there a BUNCH, but anywhere government bureaucracy has a role, whether they should or not. 😐
Awesome reaction guys, as usual!
And the end credit scene about TP is referring to one of his best rants that was also a real and interesting history lesson. Watch it!
5:48, yes, yes we do appreciate it🦅🦅🦅
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Garlic and honey are underated as "natural" remedies that are actually useful.
My Nike jump boots were my favorite boots, except for walking on rocks with
Similar to smelling the nuoc mam (spoiled fish sauce) on Charlie when you are in the elephant grass in Nam.
Your comment about sharing a drink with a marine hie hits home I met a marine vet at a bar and he offered to pay for both of us if I could keep up with him. Turns out I drank him under the table probably because I was taller and heavier than him, but it was a good time.
We had SGT Jasper at FT. Sill. Paint the fence, guard the prisoners (toy cap gun) a.k.a. The troops on stable duty. Do all that Cavalry stuff but pull a gun (casket). Klop, klop, ,klop, klop, to the graveside. Don’t spook horse.
I just found your channel. I absolutely love your reactions.
The Fat Electrician is so good. I suggest you watch ' World War Tree' and 'Old 666'. Both are excellent.
You should also check out Monteymayor as a WW2 content creator. He details Midway from both the Japanese and US side, but not intertwining the communication. It's fascinating.
Love this story ❤
I learned more about Korea from my husband. He served on the Pusan Perimeter, even if he rarely spoke of it. Sorry guys, he was Army. Neat guy for all of that.
I only know of her from Tom Scott / The Technical Difficulties.
I wholeheartedly agree that we need to learn more aboht the korea war!
Need you guys to do World War tree. Love your reacts
13:20 would touching America's horse come second to touching America's boats when it comes to US opening a can of whoopass?
Or perhaps third after saying Americans are too cowardly to fight with bayonets (Millet).
Awesome video guys well done
Yep..them old guys boots..chosin reservoir..feet froze and had to be amputated..Chinese definitely did..seen some pretty graphic pictures
Plus in my state, the history track was also responsible for covering civics and geography. So may have only had around two-thirds the time to focus on history topics as math, science, or english tracks had to cover their subjects.
I didn't serve, but I was a GS army civ. Common sense, is not common, and one of the quotes from a 14 at the time that always stuck with me was "Stupid needs to die". Mission objective was always the goal, but god damn fuck the bullshit as much as possible, and what I learned from those officers, NCOs, and much higher GS personal helped me to succeed to where I am now 15 years later.
"IHOP"! F you guys! I love it!
Wish you would do the final episode of Blackadder 3 already...😢
It got blocked, please pay attention to our community posts
Government:
If it makes sense,
It ain’t gonna happen!
Love you boys, keep it up!
It is always better to ask forgiveness rather than ask permission.
i would like to see you guys react to when Canadians hear the word war
Where there is will, there is a way
First time l heard this l thought. "Gonna target Reckless? Strap a first-aid kit and a red cross to old girl and dare someone to touch Doc. 🤨
Nobody brought up the fact that around 7:40, those two men grabbed barb wire with their bare hands.
I mean...it's not hard to grab barbed wire with your bare hands...don't touch the pointy bits and your fine. lol
Edit: farmers and ranchers do it all the time...the distinction comes to when handling razor wire.
@@nadjasunflower1387 I agree, but when you’re in a hurry and especially when you’re down range, you’re not always so cautious of a situation like that but I do understand your point
The Korean War happened and then a show MASH came out. Welcome to the American education
They actually
..mel gibson..should make a movie about this..
