Anyone else going back to re-watch Nick's vid on the 77th after this? ...yeah, i am too 😂
same here brother
i love watching people react to his vids
@@romenharper4798Yeah i have a few reaction tubers i watch the chill zone and internet city love those guys.
100%
I've done watched it 3 times already
The 77th ID was populated mostly with men from NYC, NJ and eastern PA. My father told me that the handful of southern troops were unbelievably good with the M1 Garands. Once the 2 cultures got comfortable with each other, the southern boys helped the east coast guys with their marksmanship. A high percentage of the 77th infantrymen were rated as expert with rifles. The test required the soldier to hit a silouette target 16 times in 60 seconds at 300 yards (with iron sights). They got real good at killing.
Highest military honors:
3: Purple Heart
2: Medal of Honor
1: Getting called a marine division while in an army division
Nic is such fun to listen and learn from
This was one of the best stories to hear. We were talking about this story you all shared from before at a local bar where a bunch of us vets were hanging out. We love you all and your content. We all discussed whom was our favorite. Fat Electrician took it just by a nose-hair because a good chunk of us were history buffs.
So Desmond was the healer while everyone else was DPS
The only guy not getting HUNDREDS of kills
Ahh, that's why the Ridge was so bloody, they didn't have any tanks.
If you haven't seen it yet, watch the fat electrician doing that video it is amazing what those old bastards went through and accomplished
One of Nick's best videos
Just like Lauri Törni/Larry Thorne was running circles around 18yo recruits in 1950's, as he joined the US army. Lauri was 30yo experienced combat veteran with LRRP experience and in the best shape he ever was. Minus the drinking. 30 isn't old, it's experience.
Soldier of 3 armies.
Isn't 30-36 considered a man's physical prime?
So glad they finally started scanning the streams to upload clips where donut talks
More life experience can not hurt in combat situations. Probably explains why most tier one and tier two operators are in their 30s.
6:08 when they sunk the ship, I immediately thought of that Shane Gillis bit where the taliban would be surprised when they were able to disable a vehicle. "You could hear it in their voice, like they would be surprised about it. Like, "OOOOOAAAHHHHH! ALLAHU!!"" 😅
Anytime Eli talks about his kid, all I can think is I want my kid to meet his kid. We were at the park the other day, and he was introducing himself to other kids. "I'm Alex, from earth." 100% didn't understand when I told him he didn't need to tell people he's from earth. His response "well where are we?" Earth buddy, but we're all from earth, and they know you're from earth. Sometimes autism is super wholesome.
I got to meet Brandon and Cody yesterday. It has nothing to do with this video, but I had to flex because it was fucking awesome to talk to those guys in real life.
When I first watched Hacksaw Ridge, I honestly didn't think anything of it. The only thing that I appreciated was that it was the birthing point of Fort Jackson, which was my BCT Posting when I joined the Army. So a good piece of history that I liked about the film. (A Co, 3rd Battalion, 34th IR. IYKYK)
Now knowing that it was the birth place of the 77th as the Experimental Division (though my former BCT unit hails from the 83rd Infantry Division, who has its own rich history starting all the way back to WWI) for old men in a job typically meant for the young and youthful and stubborn... It definitely gives me more humble pride of having partaken in the same hallowed ground as those grizzled men. I was 23 when I joined and was among a bunch of other not-fresh-outta-High-School young men and women who also volunteered...
A caveat is that while Hacksaw Ridge is what garnered Desmond Doss' CMH. He had already begun to make a name for himself well in advance for going into danger to rescue fellow soldiers...
An additional caveat:
This is also the same parent Division of the "Lost Battalion" during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive of October, 1918. In which 550 or so men, during the offensive, were the only individuals to achieve their objective, with sister Battalions and French Units on their flanks failing to punch through the German Trench Lines. Of the men, 190 were MIA (most considered captured by the enemy), and another 154 KIA. Led by Major Charles Whittlesey (a lawyer from New York City, New York). The unit was the first division, composed of Draftees, to arrive in France and participate in hostilities during the First World War.
They would spend several days encircled by the Germans, attacked multiple times, shelled by American Artillery, and this would also be the same battle that would see the Pigeon "Cher Ami" weather several wounds and arrive at Regimental HQ to halt both the artillery and provide proof of life of the unit still trapped in the area.
The Division was initially nicknamed the "Statue of Liberty" or "Liberty" Division because the unit composed of Draftees, predominantly hailed from the New York, New Jersey and certain other Northeaster States.
The 77th existed prior to this, but it was designated a Sustainment Brigade and then reoriented towards the one we know from "The Old Bastards".
I can't wait for the day fat electrician does a video on the black devil's brigade
You guys should invite the people from Americana Pipedream Apparel onto your Podcast. I bet they would have some crazy stories about how they've acquired some of their surplus, and their history knowledge would be fun too!
I was looking back at the map for the potential invasion of Japan; the 77th ID and 11th Airborne were the standby forces. Like the problem solvers
2:53 in my basic we had a sergeant in one of the platoons. He said it was because he was prior service
