I'm a United States Marine Corps veteran. I joined in 2010 and never saw combat but I do have friends who went and came back different. Some came back with physical wounds, like missing appendages, but almost all of them came back with mental wounds. War is Hell and we should do everything we can to avoid it. Thank you for making this video.
The poppy is a symbol used in many Commonwealth countries as a sign of respect for our veterans. It comes from a poem written by a doctor during world war one, it's called Flanders fields and it's worth reading. The story of the doctor himself and what inspired him to write it is also worth it.
It wasn't about himself. Canadian Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae wrote this after the death of his close friend Lieutenant Alexis Helmer and he noticed how quickly the poppies grew around the graves of the deceased.
In Flanders Fields the poppies grow Between the crosses, row on row That marks our places, and in the sky The larks still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields Take up our quarrel with the foe To you from failing hands, we throw The torch. Be yours to hold it high! If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields
It wasn’t written by a doctor, it was written by a Canadian Colonel named John McCrae. Please look at the correct author before talking about it, that poem is very special to Canadians like myself.
I’m currently stationed in South Korea with the US Air Force and I’m proud to say I love working with our Korean counterparts (for me ROKAF MPs). Each one has their own story and it’s interesting to hear what they’ve been through compared to me. I even met one who grew up a city over from my hometown, returning to do his service. So Happy (through the sacrifice of many) Veterans Day.
@@noneofyourbusiness9489 They’re not embedded in our unit but we have certain posts that we work together like at the gates bc of Korean nationals, government officials, contractors, and military members.
I heard a Veteran said that in a battlefield the biggest mistake you can do is help someone who got shot when your in a firefight. It’s best to shoot who shot your friend before helping them because it minimizes the risk of you getting shot while helping him or her. Much Respect ✊🏽 for the veterans who served all over the World.
Mines and shrapnel grenades serve one purpose, NOT to kill but to maim so the enemy becomes so over-encumbered by their own wounded to be much of a fighting force. Weapons like that have serious moral issues as well. Ain't war peachy.
@@rastiga9196 The grenades are actually not designed to wound. They tend to wound just because the grenade is small and there is not enough volume to make a dense enough fragmentation pattern to ensure a kill in all situations. If you make the grenade too heavy, it's going to also harm the user because they can't throw it far enough. If you make it too light, the kill zone is reduced to the point that the thrower will not be accurate enough to do any effect. Explosive engineering is a field of study with one major aspect of it is developing fragmentation matrixes. Grenades look the same as they did decades ago but they have undergone massive improvements to be more lethal, most of which involves in how the fragmentation matrix is made. The biggest improvement is the transition from prescored fragments to pre-segmented square wire which produces denser fragments which means extended range, but a quick exponential drop off in energy (due to the non-aerodynamic shape) to reduce collateral. Some mines are designed to wound, such as the toe popper and dragontooth ones used in Vietnam by Green Berets and Navy Seals in order to slow down pursuers. Most mines however are designed to kill as they are utilized in area denial where you don't want anyone (even a wounded enemy) to cross or it can compromise your security.
It's a tactic in war where people aim to injure but not kill. The enemy then has 2 more people out of the fight because he or she will be busy tending to the wounded ally, and at the end of the day everyone, even the one you injured, and everyone wins
My grandfather also served during the Korean War. He received a Bronze Star and purple heart for saving 3 of his fellow soldiers and get bayonetted in the back twice. He said the fighting was the worse thing he had ever seen. But seeing the outcome made it worth it he always said. I think its because he also loved to break out singing the South Korean national anthem whenever he ran into anyone from there.
Mine as well. He was stationed there a few years before the war and then went back just before it began. Ended up at Walter Reed by late 1950. Never spoke about it to anyone.
Korea seems like a nice place full of kind people. When I was in service I traveled all over Europe and a few places in the Middle East, but I have never been to Asia. In a few months I was thinking about taking a 2 week vacation and I might just visit Korea. :)
Asia will be a breath of fresh air to you, here people like to look out for each other and aren't so strongly divided into groups that hate each other, it actually makes my heart bleed when I see how people in the West despite each other so much
I would be curious to see them react to footage of U.S. Troops fighting in the past, such as WW2, Korea, and Vietnam. I'm glad that they have so much respect for Americans who fought overseas, possibly more respect than ordinary people in the U.S. Thank you OSSC
73 years ago my grandfather fought alongside your countrymen at Chosin. 19 years ago I decided to swear the same oath and became a Marine. I am proud of what my and your ancestors achieved and I am greatly touched to see that your people still care as much as our own. May the people of the Republic Of Korea and the United States of America continue to be brothers in blood and freedom to the end of time.
The Republic of Korea will forever remember the help of the United States, and the Republic of Korea will always be with the United States of America. Thank you very much, United States of America ❤🇰🇷🤝🇺🇲🦅❤️
Seeing young people have reactions like this for what we just called "duty" really does make me feel some kinda way. i'm retired US Army. I saw combat from 2008 to 2010. The smiles and laughs some clips show are in my opinion, a way of coping with the stress. Having rounds land near you. Watching your friends get killed. Being injured yourself. All of this is stuff we're trained to stow until a later date. You still have a job to do. Until that job is done, put that on hold. Feel later, act now. Once you come home, all that stress you put away and hid, trust me.. it comes back. A little a first... but as you have time to think.. it gets worse and worse. Now the old timers, they had it figured out. The ones who are still around mostly have a good handle on it and have made peace with themselves. I haven't reached that point yet. The respect our people show for veterans I think more than anything, is just to help us come home and feel like we did the right thing. I served my country and never questioned it. I felt in my heart I was doing a good thing for the right reasons. Now days I sit here and think of all the reasons I was wrong. Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it.
@@johnalden5821 , I don't know if you're Canadian, but whether you are or not, as a Canadian with veterans in my family, I want to thank you for your thanks.
My grandfather was a Vietnam veteran. He saw a bit of combat during the war and I am still happy for him to have served and i let him know every Veterans day that i love him and thank him for fighting for our country.
I was stationed at Dover early in my career and its the place where all the fallen go to be cleaned and processed before moving on to their final resting place. ive seen quite a bit of the fallen and its never easy... never. I do want to thank this channel and everyone involved for joining us on this day. And I want to personally thank Donghyun for his service as well.
thank you for posting these. I was in the Army and in Afghanistan from 2011 to 2012. I lost 22 of my brothers in that year. it's important for people to know that this is our life.
I was in the US Army (82nd Airborne). Being in the military was the best and saddest moments in my life. Met new people from different origins, but death is always near.😔
In new zealand and australia we both have a day to remember the soldiers that fought for both countries, this day is called ANZAC day (Australia New Zealand Army Corps) both countries have been commemorating this day 1 year after the first anzacs landed at gallipoli (April 25 1915) and we don't just remember the first anzacs on this day but any anzacs that fought in any war.
i don’t usually like my birthday but the only thing i like and proud of is being born on Veterans Day. i usually celebrate my birthday alone but i always make sure to remember those who fought for us and lost their lives
I do think the young people in this video should be reminded these soldiers are volunteers. No matter what job any of our soldiers have I will respect them because they never had to sign up. I joined the Air Force in February of 2002 I’m sure yall can guess why. I’m glad this shown to people such as these that seem to respect our soldiers more than people in our own country.
As someone from a long line of veterans, one being my dad, this made me cry. So thankful for the military, and even more thankful that y'all honored them.
I have nephews and nieces that serve in the military and im proud of them...right now i have a nephew that volunteer to go to Qatar,even tho i dont approve of it he's doing wht he must do to protect America,and i applaud him and may god keep him safe and everyone that had or is serving...
Thank you so much for doing this! It really means a lot for you to show the brutality of the front lines to help put into perspective the sacrifice of veterans and active service members.
Before I say anything, I would like to say I am extremely grateful for the soldiers who fought for Canada (where I live), I am also very lucky to have been able to meet WW1 and 2 veterans. Thank you to those who have served. For anyone looking for it, the poem “Flanders fields” goes like this In Flanders fields The poppies grow Among the crosses Row on row That mark our place And in sky The larks still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amid the guns below We are the dead Short days ago We lived, Felt Dawn, Saw sunset glow Loved and were loved And now we lie In Flanders fields Take up our quarrel With the foe To you from failing hands we throw The torch be yours to hold it high If Ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep Though poppies grow In Flanders fields
They say in the past, before the advent of social media, some immigrants actually thought that the streets in America were paved in gold. Imagine their disappointment to discover that in reality, the streets of America were full of potholes, both literally and figuratively.
Thank you @OSSC for showing these videos and what PTSD can really do to a war veteran. They have given their lives for our country and those of our allies. Sadly, our Government does not treat them well for after care once they return home. This is the result of that. Now with Covid restrictions, we have seen the number of suicides in our Veterans rise. Sometimes our military is sent to useless wars just for the money for the higher ups. It's sad really, but I'm still very proud of our men and women in uniform who do it for the love of our country. Again, thank you for showing this. It meant a lot to me.
My Dad was a soldier in the Persian Gulf War, he was on the front lines, this was before me and even my older brother were born. Don’t worry he’s still alive and I’m real proud of him for all he did! God Bless America and thank you so much to all that served in the line of duty for our freedom 🇺🇸
We want to see the other video as well. 😔 My father was Air Force and all my cousins are either Air Force or Navy. I’m forever grateful for ALL the sacrifice and dedication our soldiers have for defending America and her allies. I’d like to ask everyone to make an effort to think about our soldiers everyday and not just on Veterans’ Day.❤️🇺🇸
Know the word expendable before stating anything you know about any military service. All military know that word the world over. It means ANYBODY of low rank is fodder for the cause whether righteous or not. ANYBODY, no matter if they are just following orders or not. WAR is evil and so are its many machinations. Proud of those who have served, not proud of those truly evil ones who served just to kill and make money off of it. There is more than you know that are straight-up evil but play it off simply by saying they are veterans.
Koreans are a terrific people. I was only there a year but I met such amazing people. Someday maybe I'll go back to visit. I remember when South Koreans came to Iraq. They were pretty amazing.
Its heartwarming to see these young Koreans showing respect to us veterans. I served from 07-13 in the US Army and though I never deployed to a combat zone myself, I have many friends that did and some that never came home. We might feel all gung hoe about war and fighting but every soldier, marine, sailor and airman want there to be peace. We fight so others do not need to and so that we can get our brothers and sisters home safely. Its about those in the trenches with you and everyone getting home in one piece. It is also very important for people to remember that the US is a volunteer service instead of conscription. Every one of our boys and girls chose to put themselves in harms way to defend their country. Thank you again for reacting to this and the respect that you showed.
Every rememberance day I always watch this one video called the Fallen Of WW2. It makes you realize how lucky we are to live as we do right now. I highly recommend watching that video, as it gives you a whole new perspective and makes you think about the sacrifices others made so you live in a much more peaceful world.
I like the fact these videos give people from a different culture a window into another's, can we get a John A. Chapman reaction? Keep up the good content!
In between my Iraq and Afghanistan deployments I spent a year in South Korea. Love the people and love the country. I’d fight alongside them any day of the week.
The guy going downhill at 3:10 is what happens when you forget you were ever trained not to get yourself killed. He had defilade, then ran down hill into the open towards his vic instead of staying put like he had sense.
my mom said Korean young people do not realize how terrible war really is. She lost her mom and dad in the 625 war when North Korea killed everybody in the way. She still has nightmares about when they took her parents away forever. Her dad was a policeman then.
In 1973 my dad decided to enlist in the Canadian army at 17 and he served for almost 30 years(15 years active duty, 10 as a drill instructor and the rest as a reserve) and me and my brother decided to join after we watched our father wish he could rein-list in 2007 we both got deployed to different locations and unlucky my brother didn’t make it back in the same way I did. He was in a vehicle and got killed by an IED unfortunately my father did not take that well and me and him both went into a deep depression it only took his grandson and my nephew wanting to join the military to bring us both into society.
2:30 sweetheart that accurate info surprised me yes the further your target the more affected the round is by the curvature of the earth wind and gravity 👍👍👍
I lost 2 of my friends while on deployment to Afghanistan in 2008, one of them died of an IED strike and the other one died of sniper shot right through the head. watching this, made me remember what it was like to be in actual combat, and to be honest it haunts me.
3:15 according to that video’s description, he was hit 4 times, but luckily, his body armor wasn’t penetrated and he made it back home with no permanent injuries
he tried to cook with physics but burned the whole meal. As for bullets being affected by Earth's rotation, that doesn't make sense-the bullet is part of the same system as the planet, so the Earth's rotation impacts it just like everything else. She probably meant gravity, which makes more sense since bullet drop increases with distance due to gravitational pull.
AMAZING . They have more respect and appreciation for our military than most of congress, senate and most Americans or the so called citizens in our failing country.
"the farther the distance is, the more affected it is by the rotation of the earth", I mean she's not wrong the Earth's rotation does affect the wind around you
Was looking for someone else that caught that and atleast she has some knowledge about distance shooting or is in some sort if science field where rotational distance is a factor not many ppl woulda factored anything other than the distance and wind direction changes
As an elementary tutor, this the kids learned all about veterans day, history of veterans day and the branches of the military and the symbol of poppies.
thats the mindset of a military volunteer , not forced to serve they steel thier mind before they step in war , that what set apart how us soldier the best in the field.
Veterans Day is to show appreciation and respect for veterans both current and past. Memorial Day is to honor respect and appreciate veterans that have died in the service of the country
They said "they must be scared alot". For me, I wasn't scared during it. It came after. in the moment your doing your job, following your orders, and trying to get the job done. It all hits after the fact, for some guys years later. Everyone is different and reacts to it all so differently.
Memorial day is actually bigger, that's when there are parades it's amazing to see schools and posts marching to commemorate the soldiers lost. Veterans day is for all soldiers who served our country be it peace time or not
3:45 i've never been deployed, nor have I joined the military, (too young to yet) but every video I have watched from vets has taught me one thing: Iraq was really the first time CQB was ever seen on large scale in a advanced tactical setting, so infantry had to make it up on the fly, and when you were shot at in places like fallujah, brick and other material reflect that noise, so the report from it is much louder, making it harder to figure out where the shot came from. Thank you to all the vets out there who had to go through that, I probably wouldn't be commenting this as a teenage retard on the internet without you.
The saddest part is before I watched this video I watched a video about testing IQ of a group in the group they are told to assume each others IQ before test and there is this women who ranked a USA marine last place saying "I don't have much value for the military so". she literally assumed him to be dump just because he is in military , he got 3rd place above all who joked about him. I'm envoy USA has such a huge brave army yet there citizens not only acknowledge them but also criticise them,
I’m 58. My father was a sniper in the US army & was stationed in SK during the Korean War. He had great respect for SK but his war stories were horrific. Especially once he had Alzheimer’s he started telling more gruesome stories. Very hard to hear but so proud of him. I’m huge BTS ARMY & would love to go someday as would be so much more meaningful after everything he told me. War needs to be abolished but will never happen. 🥺💜
She really pulled out the ol' "At this distance, you'll have to take the Coriolis Effect into account to compensate for the rotation of the Earth." at 2:22
The fact that no one really comprehends how gruesome war really is and how our military goes through this still boggles the mind to me. Our soldiers are the best at what they do, thanks to all the people serving for our country.
The best thing about them seeing this is the respect I just hope they know if something ever happened the United States military would come to protect and save them just like their own
As an Indian, my country puts extreme pride in the Armed Forces. They are treated like heroes wherever they go. From the smallest vendor to the highest executive, when there is a military title on you. There is respect and honor that comes with it. Being an officer of the armed forces is one of the most rewarding jobs mentally, socially and financially as well. From the perspective of a person who grew into such a background, it really floors me to see that there are countries where veterans are treated so badly. And there are no days to remember the ones who put forth their life for protecting the freedom and sovereignty as a selfless and patriotic act.
Veteran's day was originally known as Armistice Day in the US to commemorate the signing of the Armistice of 1918 to end the fighting during World War I (the fighting ended on November 11, 1918 at 11:00 AM hence November 11th being the holiday). It was changed to Veteran's Day by President Eisenhower 1938 to honor the members of the United States Armed Forces who have served in the past and who are serving now.

In Flanders Fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row

The larks still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you from failing hands, we throw
The torch. Be yours to hold it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields
Also poppies grow in disturbed ground, iirc that is why so many are present when heavy shelling took place.
It wasn’t written by a doctor, it was written by a Canadian Colonel named John McCrae. Please look at the correct author before talking about it, that poem is very special to Canadians like myself.

NOT JUST UNITED STATES . EVERY SOILDER IN THE WORLD WE ARE PROUD OF YOU ALL FOR SERVING YOUR COUNTRIES. SALUTE TO ALL OF THEM .❤❤❤❤❤🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Even the ones fighting for the wrong side too 😭.
@@jv_v6620 Fair enough. They think they're on the right side most of the time.
well done OSSC and thank you
and thank you to all that have served in uniform in the US and Korea
As someone from a long line of veterans, one being my dad, this made me cry. So thankful for the military, and even more thankful that y'all honored them.
this channel is getting me through the week lol
Same lol
I have nephews and nieces that serve in the military and im proud of them...right now i have a nephew that volunteer to go to Qatar,even tho i dont approve of it he's doing wht he must do to protect America,and i applaud him and may god keep him safe and everyone that had or is serving...
If men can universally laugh about anything. It’s “we almost died haha”
Thank you so much for doing this! It really means a lot for you to show the brutality of the front lines to help put into perspective the sacrifice of veterans and active service members.
Respect and prayers to all the American, German, British, Canadian, French and Italian heroes who fought and also died in Afghanistan!
may i ask, how are they heroes?
Before I say anything, I would like to say I am extremely grateful for the soldiers who fought for Canada (where I live), I am also very lucky to have been able to meet WW1 and 2 veterans. Thank you to those who have served.
For anyone looking for it, the poem “Flanders fields” goes like this
In Flanders fields
The poppies grow
Among the crosses
Row on row
That mark our place
And in sky
The larks
still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard
amid the guns below
We are the dead
Short days ago
We lived,
Felt Dawn,
Saw sunset glow
Loved and were loved
And now we lie
In Flanders fields
Take up our quarrel
With the foe
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch be yours to hold it high
If Ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep
Though poppies grow
In Flanders fields
They have such a positive view on America, its wholesome and tragic at the same time
America is often glorified for the wrong reasons. The wars they started 😩
They say in the past, before the advent of social media, some immigrants actually thought that the streets in America were paved in gold. Imagine their disappointment to discover that in reality, the streets of America were full of potholes, both literally and figuratively.
@@airyangelic852 Did America started the Korean war? Are you mad? 🙄
@@adlerzwei did I say Korean war? 😳
@@adlerzwei, where did Airy Angelic say anything about the Korean war? Your response, and apparent anger towards them is really bizarre.
Thank you @OSSC for showing these videos and what PTSD can really do to a war veteran. They have given their lives for our country and those of our allies. Sadly, our Government does not treat them well for after care once they return home. This is the result of that. Now with Covid restrictions, we have seen the number of suicides in our Veterans rise. Sometimes our military is sent to useless wars just for the money for the higher ups. It's sad really, but I'm still very proud of our men and women in uniform who do it for the love of our country. Again, thank you for showing this. It meant a lot to me.
Dang girl. That last salute I almost popped to attention and threw a salute back
Much love for how yall reacted to our military
Thank you so much for your respect for our soldiers
Koreans served honorably in the Middle East conflicts, my friend Dong Jin was deployed to Afghanistan and survived, thank you so very much
You mean the wrongful wars in the middle East... Fighting Afghanistan after having been allies with the founding core of Taliban before?
Thank you for the reaction and I share you wish for a more peaceful world
My Dad was a soldier in the Persian Gulf War, he was on the front lines, this was before me and even my older brother were born. Don’t worry he’s still alive and I’m real proud of him for all he did! God Bless America and thank you so much to all that served in the line of duty for our freedom 🇺🇸
Well America has terrible history like Iran Iraq and Afghanistan.
@@somyaranjansahoosahoo5127 "Marines are first in so the bugs outnumber us, just means more bugs for us to kill!" Starship Troopers
They were so surprised by our troops! I love it lol. Those who are in the armed forces have something to fight for, live for, and die for. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
We want to see the other video as well. 😔 My father was Air Force and all my cousins are either Air Force or Navy. I’m forever grateful for ALL the sacrifice and dedication our soldiers have for defending America and her allies. I’d like to ask everyone to make an effort to think about our soldiers everyday and not just on Veterans’ Day.❤️🇺🇸
Know the word expendable before stating anything you know about any military service. All military know that word the world over. It means ANYBODY of low rank is fodder for the cause whether righteous or not. ANYBODY, no matter if they are just following orders or not. WAR is evil and so are its many machinations. Proud of those who have served, not proud of those truly evil ones who served just to kill and make money off of it. There is more than you know that are straight-up evil but play it off simply by saying they are veterans.
All they are defending is some rich guys's interests tbh
Thank you for all these reactions.
3:15 this looks so much like police bodycam footage (due to the POV) that I half expected him to say "Dispatch, shots fired! I'm hit!".
Koreans are a terrific people. I was only there a year but I met such amazing people. Someday maybe I'll go back to visit. I remember when South Koreans came to Iraq. They were pretty amazing.
veterans day reminds me of remembrance day, two days with so much importance
Thank you Korea's for supporting our troops 🇺🇸🤙🏻
Its heartwarming to see these young Koreans showing respect to us veterans. I served from 07-13 in the US Army and though I never deployed to a combat zone myself, I have many friends that did and some that never came home. We might feel all gung hoe about war and fighting but every soldier, marine, sailor and airman want there to be peace. We fight so others do not need to and so that we can get our brothers and sisters home safely. Its about those in the trenches with you and everyone getting home in one piece. It is also very important for people to remember that the US is a volunteer service instead of conscription. Every one of our boys and girls chose to put themselves in harms way to defend their country. Thank you again for reacting to this and the respect that you showed.
I like how they show the soldier trip over rocky terrain and the koreans are like "that must be a combat strategic rolling maneuver"
Every rememberance day I always watch this one video called the Fallen Of WW2. It makes you realize how lucky we are to live as we do right now.
I highly recommend watching that video, as it gives you a whole new perspective and makes you think about the sacrifices others made so you live in a much more peaceful world.
Can you leave the link in the description on what they saw?
I like the fact these videos give people from a different culture a window into another's, can we get a John A. Chapman reaction? Keep up the good content!
Happy Veterans Day 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
In between my Iraq and Afghanistan deployments I spent a year in South Korea. Love the people and love the country. I’d fight alongside them any day of the week.
The guy going downhill at 3:10 is what happens when you forget you were ever trained not to get yourself killed. He had defilade, then ran down hill into the open towards his vic instead of staying put like he had sense.
The “anniversary of the United States” is Independence Day. Veterans Day in the US is also called Armistice Day in other countries (end of ww1)
my mom said Korean young people do not realize how terrible war really is. She lost her mom and dad in the 625 war when North Korea killed everybody in the way. She still has nightmares about when they took her parents away forever. Her dad was a policeman then.
5:22 of the videos got me rolling i thought the ground looked like the sky 😅
They are brave men that protected our country and protecting there families
Thank you for your perception. War is bad. The boys said it too. But they will defend their own
6:56 as a Veteran.. tears. just fuckin tears...
In 1973 my dad decided to enlist in the Canadian army at 17 and he served for almost 30 years(15 years active duty, 10 as a drill instructor and the rest as a reserve) and me and my brother decided to join after we watched our father wish he could rein-list in 2007 we both got deployed to different locations and unlucky my brother didn’t make it back in the same way I did. He was in a vehicle and got killed by an IED unfortunately my father did not take that well and me and him both went into a deep depression it only took his grandson and my nephew wanting to join the military to bring us both into society.
2:30 sweetheart that accurate info surprised me yes the further your target the more affected the round is by the curvature of the earth wind and gravity 👍👍👍
Let’s all work for peace so brave young people won’t ever have to experience war again.
My dads dad served in the army and was in a war I think and he got shot 7 times, and lived, that’s amazing 😮
I lost 2 of my friends while on deployment to Afghanistan in 2008, one of them died of an IED strike and the other one died of sniper shot right through the head. watching this, made me remember what it was like to be in actual combat, and to be honest it haunts me.
3:15 according to that video’s description, he was hit 4 times, but luckily, his body armor wasn’t penetrated and he made it back home with no permanent injuries
"If there's a family necklace hanging on someone's neck" every soldier has a story. No matter what side they're on.
he tried to cook with physics but burned the whole meal. As for bullets being affected by Earth's rotation, that doesn't make sense-the bullet is part of the same system as the planet, so the Earth's rotation impacts it just like everything else. She probably meant gravity, which makes more sense since bullet drop increases with distance due to gravitational pull.
AMAZING . They have more respect and appreciation for our military than most of congress, senate and most Americans or the so called citizens in our failing country.
4:50, her saying that was hilarious 😅
"the farther the distance is, the more affected it is by the rotation of the earth", I mean she's not wrong the Earth's rotation does affect the wind around you
Was looking for someone else that caught that and atleast she has some knowledge about distance shooting or is in some sort if science field where rotational distance is a factor not many ppl woulda factored anything other than the distance and wind direction changes
As an elementary tutor, this the kids learned all about veterans day, history of veterans day and the branches of the military and the symbol of poppies.
thats the mindset of a military volunteer , not forced to serve they steel thier mind before they step in war , that what set apart how us soldier the best in the field.
I’m a combat veteran and these guys and girls have me tearing up. They’re so nice and understanding.
Germany was in Afghanistan too. 115 German soldiers are dead.
Veterans Day is to show appreciation and respect for veterans both current and past.
Memorial Day is to honor respect and appreciate veterans that have died in the service of the country
They said "they must be scared alot". For me, I wasn't scared during it. It came after. in the moment your doing your job, following your orders, and trying to get the job done.
It all hits after the fact, for some guys years later. Everyone is different and reacts to it all so differently.
The way she said godamn made laugh my ass off! Such a sweet girl.
"They've should be shaking already." in the us army they are never scared they are just fighting for their country.
The girl knowing about the rotation of the Earth and the atmosphere itself affecting a rounds impact area impresses the shit outta me.
Memorial day is actually bigger, that's when there are parades it's amazing to see schools and posts marching to commemorate the soldiers lost. Veterans day is for all soldiers who served our country be it peace time or not
I might be wrong, but I think that the planting of flags you mention is Memorial Day. Veterans Day is for the living veterans.
2:39 this footage is from PFC Ted Daniels in Afghanistan in 2012, you can find it elsewhere online
3:45 i've never been deployed, nor have I joined the military, (too young to yet) but every video I have watched from vets has taught me one thing: Iraq was really the first time CQB was ever seen on large scale in a advanced tactical setting, so infantry had to make it up on the fly, and when you were shot at in places like fallujah, brick and other material reflect that noise, so the report from it is much louder, making it harder to figure out where the shot came from. Thank you to all the vets out there who had to go through that, I probably wouldn't be commenting this as a teenage retard on the internet without you.
The saddest part is before I watched this video I watched a video about testing IQ of a group in the group they are told to assume each others IQ before test and there is this women who ranked a USA marine last place saying "I don't have much value for the military so". she literally assumed him to be dump just because he is in military , he got 3rd place above all who joked about him.
I'm envoy USA has such a huge brave army yet there citizens not only acknowledge them but also criticise them,
I’m 58. My father was a sniper in the US army & was stationed in SK during the Korean War. He had great respect for SK but his war stories were horrific. Especially once he had Alzheimer’s he started telling more gruesome stories. Very hard to hear but so proud of him. I’m huge BTS ARMY & would love to go someday as would be so much more meaningful after everything he told me. War needs to be abolished but will never happen. 🥺💜
You can't ban war. War is a necessary thing in a world in which evil exists, unfortunately.
She really pulled out the ol' "At this distance, you'll have to take the Coriolis Effect into account to compensate for the rotation of the Earth." at 2:22
used to be a designated marksman, blew my mind that that girl knew about the coriolis effect on rounds going down range.
The fact that no one really comprehends how gruesome war really is and how our military goes through this still boggles the mind to me. Our soldiers are the best at what they do, thanks to all the people serving for our country.
my spouse served as a medic and a mechanic in the us army. even though hes been discharged roughly 4 years now, hes still adjusting to normal life
The best thing about them seeing this is the respect I just hope they know if something ever happened the United States military would come to protect and save them just like their own
As an Indian, my country puts extreme pride in the Armed Forces. They are treated like heroes wherever they go. From the smallest vendor to the highest executive, when there is a military title on you. There is respect and honor that comes with it. Being an officer of the armed forces is one of the most rewarding jobs mentally, socially and financially as well.
From the perspective of a person who grew into such a background, it really floors me to see that there are countries where veterans are treated so badly. And there are no days to remember the ones who put forth their life for protecting the freedom and sovereignty as a selfless and patriotic act.
Veteran's day was originally known as Armistice Day in the US to commemorate the signing of the Armistice of 1918 to end the fighting during World War I (the fighting ended on November 11, 1918 at 11:00 AM hence November 11th being the holiday). It was changed to Veteran's Day by President Eisenhower 1938 to honor the members of the United States Armed Forces who have served in the past and who are serving now.
