The Dave Letterman appearance of Kyle is one of the best shows ever. They go through the whole situation& recovery, & it’s even crazier than you can imagine.
After everything he's been through and yet, he seems like the most humble person on earth. He's truly a remarkable man deserving of the medal and so much more.
There is a reason that Medal of Honor recipients have precedence over the President of the United States. The Medal of Honor says all that needs to be said.
I don't know if you ever reacted to the first Medal of Honor action caught on film, but you might check that out. What John A. Chapman did in Afghanistan that day is just incredible.
I’m an old Army veteran. This young man is the embodiment of everyone who has ever taken the oath to put their Country before themselves. US, UK and every other peace loving nation. God Bless him, you and all who serve honorably. (US Army Military Police veteran here)
This made me cry and feel immense pride in the US military and the incredible people who make up that military. Thank you very much for posting this. I had not known anything about this until now. What a tremendous individual who is truly a hero. ❤
This is a very humble man. He is the kind of man I would like to think I would be. I love this man. I only wish I could shake his hand and hug his neck. This, is a MAN!!!
I left the US Army in 2006. My last battalion commander was (at the time) LTC Gordon Roberts, at the time the only serving Medal of Honor recipient on active duty. He got the Medal at Hamburger Hill during ‘Nam
I watched the film again after many years since I first saw it at 14. It was after that that I realized many of my heroes were still serving when I was in and it really wasn't that long before that they served. (Me: 2005-2011). Many of the guys from Blackhawk Down were still in at that time too. So hard to believe all that time has passed. We're old.
I went through Infantry OSUT at Benning from Oct ‘00-Mar ‘01. Our final field exercise was the night infiltration course with a “25” mile ruck march back (it was more like 35, but who’s counting). The night we got back, most of the cast for We Were Soldiers were saying in the Company barracks next door. I was D 2/19, the actors were staying in E 2/19 barracks. We could have, if we wanted, walked across the roof to meet them. Thankfully they all came down to meet us.
@@Pmjdp2001 That's so epic. NIC at Night was a fun exercise. One of my cherished memories. Funny enough, I was in basic during a holiday (can't remember which one) and it was one of the rare times they gave us a break. They staged us in the starship area and put on We Were Soldiers. That was the second time I had seen it, but I loved every minute of it. Cool you got to meet all the actors.
I saw him at the doctor getting an ultrasound for his baby like 6 months ago I ran out an thanked him, shook his bad hand on accident it was so cool it was in charlotte Nc
Kyle is a legend. He’s also one of the most humble Marines you’ll ever meet. He is an amazing representative of the Marine Corps and I am honored to call him brother. Semper Fi!!!
I joined because of the Marine Corps history and they were the only branch not calling me or knocking on my door. I asked the recruiter why they hasn’t been acting like the other branch. He told me the Marine Corps doesn’t need you…….You need the Marine Corps, I signed my paperwork to join. I heard plenty of people saying “you can’t do, you’ll never make it). I don’t listen to people who say I can’t do something. Yeah I like to break rules and negative viewpoints. I don’t quit so basically it was the same as a dare.
your face told a whole story while watching this. God bless you buddy. make sure to continue taking care of yourself, im american but of course, thank you for your service to our free countries. ❤️🙏
There's a common theme that runs through many of the stories of Medal of Honor and Victoria Cross recipients. Many didn't lay their life on the line for their country, they did it for their friends and comrades. It's the ultimate act of love to trade your life for that of another. That's what always gets to me about these stories and these amazing people.
Even his Instagram is inspiring given the physical challenges he's faced. He gets out, enjoys nature, and is living a more active and memorable life than many people who haven't suffered major injuries. And the man damn well deserves it.
I'll add my vote to the folks suggesting that you should watch Kyle's interview with David Letterman. Kyle is a remarkable man. Deeply humble and soft spoken.
USMC vet here, was in 05-2010. He’s the man, I was on camp bastion in 08. I remember hearing talk about this happening, I got out Nov 27, 2010. Later heard more and more and the full story, that’s talked about now. Was insane. And glorious and sad all at the same time, am vet glad he ended up making it, as were all hearing what happened and what was happening 3rd hand or more, for the major details. From guys who had a buddy who heard something. That was there, or near it, in various locations. Along the tike from it happening to him making it stateside. Then we didn’t hear more, till later. Cause out of the hands of active duty, deployed guys.
You should also check out the book The Giant Killer. It's about US Mikitary Green Beret Captain Richard J Flaherty. He was the shortest green beret ever. It's a fantastic story. There's a few videos about him too.
I Enlisted in the Military because my parents Said that to make a DIFFERENCE you need to put Service before SELF. My oldest brother and i both served 20 years in the Military while the two Middle Siblings both becamed Educators. My mother came to America at 17 years old in 1949 she truly believed in the American dream. She told us that this Country has given us FREEDOM and that we should be willing to Give Back and Serve others so they too can Reap the benefits of America
You might find the website of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society interesting. It has details on all of the recipients. According to the Society 3519 have been awarded, and there are 60 living recipients.
Hey. Kyle Carpenter Was On The David Letterman Show And That Interview Is On RUclips! You Should Watch It And React To It! It’s Incredibly Moving, Touching & Inspiring!!!!! He Is So Humble And Incredibly Sweet And Really Genuine And Down To Earth!!!!! He Seems Like A Really Good Guy!!!!! I Think You Would Enjoy Watching The Interview!!!!!
Regardless of our past, 248 years ago - I, by far, consider Brits Vets to be brothers (and sisters) from another mother. I'm 50% English and 30% Scottish anyway. American GWOT Vet here. Hooah!
There was a TV series that came out a while ago. It was called medal of honour I'm not too sure if it was on Netflix or not, but it show the actions of doors that who had received the medal from as far back as world war II. It also told the story of those because of the politics of the day.
I can tell you exactly why he jumped on that grenade. Not only to save his fellow Marine, it is something that our drill instructor’s INSTILLED in all of us. We did it so many times with inert grenades it became a muscle memory. At least that’s how they did it when I was in the US Marines…
IN MY VIEW Sorry, I had to mute you every time you spoke because I wanted to hear what he was telling us without his words being interrupted. Thank you for the link. I went back and watched it all over again.

If you do any Music Reactions you might do Trace Adkins - "Til the Last Shots Fired" with West Point Glee Club live from the 44th ACM Awards in 2009 (Some of the links will say CMA, which while technically incorrect is the right link). If not it's worthy of your own time.
On 10 November the US Marine Corps was born. I want to ask you to react to, Trace Adkins’s, “SEMPER FI.” I would consider it an honor for me and my Marine Corps Brothers and Sisters.
Also it’s a shame that you and a few others didn’t way h the longer, better version mainly the one that was on David letterman’s show. Longer, better, more details, and this story is one of very few that can make me tear up some.
A lot of us civilian Americans are quite fond of our British brothers as well. It hasn't been that long since we were all countrymen. We make fun, and might gloat a little bit about our victory. Just like brothers do. In the end, we love you guys! (Except for George the third, screw that dude)
Living proof that, yes, one man CAN make a difference. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." -John 15:13 👍
You should check our SAT MAJOR Brad Kassel USMC RET. They call him Rambo Marine there is a boom about him called "My Men Are My Heros" it's on the Commandant of the Marine Corps reading list. I have read it 6x it's good
If you really want his whole story, he did a few podcasts with former seals, 1 with Jocko Willink, 1 with Andy Stumpf and1 with Mike Ritland. There he talks about everything.
Now if I'm wrong about this please correct me! Kyle is a motivational speaker now traveling the nation. Also, there is a video of the ceremony when he got the medal. Check it out!
Not so fun adjacent fact: The U.S. Military hasn't manufactured a purple heart medal since WW2. The ones being given to recipients are all from the stockpile that was manufactured in anticipation/preparation for a land-invasion of Japan's mainland and capital. Thanks to the atomic bomb, the land-invasion was avoided. Purple hearts aren't exactly the M.O.H. However, they typically go hand-in-hand and are still one of the highest honors you can receive in the military. It's the medal given to service members who are wounded during deployment. You usually end up wounded while earning the medal of honor, so usually, if they have that one, they'll also have a purple heart.
I’m always asked about the difference between US marines and Royal marines. Simply put, royal marines are more like a SF or commando unit. US marines are simply the most bloodthirsty and effective infantry to ever exist
Hey brother. The fat electrician just released a new video a couple of hours ago about the legendary Marine corps sniper Carlos " white feather " Hathcock. You know the guy that was the inspiration for the saving Private Ryan sniper shot where the American sniper shot through the German snipers scope without touching the side

The Dave Letterman appearance of Kyle is one of the best shows ever.
They go through the whole situation& recovery, & it’s even crazier than you can imagine.
I came here to mention this exact interview with Lettermen.
After everything he's been through and yet, he seems like the most humble person on earth. He's truly a remarkable man deserving of the medal and so much more.
They always are. That is what is so amazing.

I don't know if you ever reacted to the first Medal of Honor action caught on film, but you might check that out. What John A. Chapman did in Afghanistan that day is just incredible.
he did the reaction years ago i believe, i vividly remember him watching it.
Please be on Unsubscribe Podcast.
I will second that motion
I'll third that one!
Been asking him for about a year now to reach out haha. Also been commenting on the unsub podcast to have him on haha
I would watch lol. I pretty much watch every unsub episode lol
I’m an old Army veteran. This young man is the embodiment of everyone who has ever taken the oath to put their Country before themselves. US, UK and every other peace loving nation. God Bless him, you and all who serve honorably. (US Army Military Police veteran here)
All MOH recipients are the humblest people youll meet in the service. No matter whst branch theyre from, its always the same.
I salute these heroes.
This made me cry and feel immense pride in the US military and the incredible people who make up that military. Thank you very much for posting this. I had not known anything about this until now. What a tremendous individual who is truly a hero. ❤
I can't watch this story ever with a dry eye. Thank you for bringing this to light again.
A true Patriot. God bless him and our American and British Soldiers.
This is a very humble man. He is the kind of man I would like to think I would be. I love this man. I only wish I could shake his hand and hug his neck. This, is a MAN!!!

I saw Kyle Carpenter speak at my college, as a young Marine myself it was truly inspiring and I bought and read his book immediately after
I saw him at the doctor getting an ultrasound for his baby like 6 months ago I ran out an thanked him, shook his bad hand on accident it was so cool it was in charlotte Nc
That's cool. I live in Charlotte and spoke to him hiking on Crowders Mtn near Charlotte a few years ago. Very humble guy.
Kyle is a legend. He’s also one of the most humble Marines you’ll ever meet. He is an amazing representative of the Marine Corps and I am honored to call him brother. Semper Fi!!!
He tells his entire story on the Jocko Podcast, it's a few years back but well worth the listen, an incredible story! His book is phenomenal, as well.
I joined because of the Marine Corps history and they were the only branch not calling me or knocking on my door. I asked the recruiter why they hasn’t been acting like the other branch.

yeah, i am crying... Thank you Kyle for your Sacrifice

You don’t receive the Medal of Honor being an award junkie
Even his Instagram is inspiring given the physical challenges he's faced. He gets out, enjoys nature, and is living a more active and memorable life than many people who haven't suffered major injuries. And the man damn well deserves it.
I'll add my vote to the folks suggesting that you should watch Kyle's interview with David Letterman.
Kyle is a remarkable man. Deeply humble and soft spoken.
Military tradition allows service members of all ranks to salute Medal of Honor recipients wearing the medal.
dude is so humble.
MOH is a medal that is a double-edged sword for sure.
To receive it, lots of really bad things had to happened.
USMC vet here, was in 05-2010. He’s the man, I was on camp bastion in 08. I remember hearing talk about this happening, I got out Nov 27, 2010.

Semper fi
Respect is the first word that comes to my mind, other than the obvious word...(Greatest American) Hero!
There’s also a young man named Dakota Meyer” who for some reason other marines don’t appreciate him
You should also check out the book The Giant Killer. It's about US Mikitary Green Beret Captain Richard J Flaherty. He was the shortest green beret ever. It's a fantastic story. There's a few videos about him too.
Stuff that makes grown men cry

Jesus was a Carpenter, but he never actually sang on any of their albums. x
And here im complaing about my fractured ankle and fibia.

There is another video of an interview he did with David Letterman.
You should check out Kyle's interview on the david letterman show. Wow.

Look up his interview on the David Letterman show, Or the Medal of honor ceremony
You really need to watch his David Letterman interview.

Please react to the letter of recommendation of jonny Kim from jocko willink (apologies if I misspell one of the names somewhere)
Did you guys know this dude was in the Royal Marines.
