I was a Navy Search and Rescue Medical Technician supporting HMM-365 / RCT-7 during the invasion of Iraq in 2007. I was on aircraft that landed under fire, within a stone throw of an active shoot out, to evacuate casualties. Other Corpsmen in I MEF CASEVAC reported similar experiences.
Royal Marine who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, I confirm what you are saying @chriscrumpler1665. Both British and US helicopters landed in hot landing zones. There's one case where an RAF pilot was flying a Chinook that got hit with a round that entered under the canopy, smashing the edge of the control panel, up through the seat between his legs, through his seat belt, shattering his O2 mask, skimmed his helmet before exiting the canopy. So yes, I witnessed several hot zones for casevac in both wars.
@@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming One date and place i know 100% that Black Hawks repeatedly landed in hot zones for CASEVAC. April 2nd 2010, Isa Khel, Kunduz Province, Afghanistan
@@MrKolaros They were brave angels. The UK didn’t use smaller helicopters, they use Chinooks, a blood great big target. Mind you, in 2007 my Corps the Royal Marines, rescued a comrade using two Apache helicopters with two Royal Marines hanging onto the weapons pods. Amazing and brave, sadly the lad died. They repatriated his body. RIP Mathew Ford RM.
@@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming There are stories about Cobra pilots in Vietnam extracting green berets off the edge of a river and the green berets holding on to the skids all the way back to base. And flying all the way back on a McGuire rig was basically the standard extract method for quite some time. More or less hanging by a loop... The STABO and SPIE rigs really saved a lot of people. There are stories of people passing out on the McGuires and dangling/falling. Having a clip point was a massive upgrade.
By far the most accurate part of Under Siege, is that Steven Seagal knows everything about everything: A SEAL that knows how to cook, fire gunnery on a battleship, ALL of the martial arts, as well as nuclear physics...yep, they nailed it.
Weird to see him back then, as a decent looking fellow. I mean he could never act, but at least he didn't look out of place in the movie. Now he's a manatee that mumbles a lot.
22:00 I was a professional fireworks-technician. Once I saw a guy, very muscular, about 330 lbs knocked out from the muzzle-flash of an 4 inch-firework. Afterwards he told me, it was like the hardest hit, he ever got into his stomach. Pretty obvious it was very dumb to stand so close.
@@jonsimpson6240 there are still ww2 vets around but they are quickly passing away, if you check out the memoirs of ww2 they are interviewing and having the few soldiers still around tell their stories. It’s a great RUclips channel and I highly recommend watching their videos if you are interested is ww2 documentaries or war history in general
WOW! This has got to be about the best RUclips I have ever seen. Every one of the expert military veterans consulted deserves our thanks for their service. It's a tough call, but I gotta say Vernice rocked it! "No way a helicopter is going to fly on its side like that!" Yeah, right. This was an incredible show.
Hacksaw Ridge really caught the brutality of war and soldiers who were already suffering from PTSD. When Ghoul asks a soldier what the front is like, he already had the 1000 yard stare and just said "they are animals".
I love how you can see the excitement of a ten year-old boy seeping through the Admiral's ironclad demeanor, as he discusses the armor on those WWII ships.
Rhee is an amazing individual. Tge weight of having to decide on the fly who is "worth" saving. You don't have the luxury of saving everyone. If you waste time on a long shot, there could be 10 other guys you just sacrificed 😔 God bless him and all of them. My God he is so calm and composed. I just can't imagine how I'd handle that weight. Even if it wasn't him who killed them, farking aye it's really heavy to even think about.
The Outpost features a member of the platoon that was really there during it. The way you see those guys die is very similar if not exactly how they died. The battle produced two Medal of Honor recipients.
Great compilation of military specialists. The seals parachuting with the smoke trails made me laugh. I thought it looked cool, I never thought about how it actually signals the enemy you're coming. I guess a lot of directors are like that- "It's not realistic!" "I don't care, it looks cool!"
They’re not going up against human enemies in Godzilla, I’m pretty sure the smoke is to let allies on the ground know where they are. The giant monsters aren’t going to pay any mind to a few smoke trails. Plus yeah, it makes for a cool shot
You didn’t have to hit an enemy vessel with a 16 inch shell. Landing next to the vessel will cause a near hit. What that does is to buckle the hull plates by the power of the water concussions against the hull. In the movie it looks like a WWII vintage submarine. The damage against the hull and collateral damage against the machinery could cause it not to be able to dive, inoperable or even sink from the damage.
Only problem with your statement is that's a DD which would have only carried 5-in guns, not 16-inch ones. As for the shot underwater, that was with the 40mm AA guns which is a bit more interesting in what kind of damage would have been caused honestly.
Fascinating to hear from each of the presenters - they bring such a wealth of experience in a world so far removed from anything I know - I was riveted the entire time.
Skydivers like to have competitions to see how much time it takes between when they open the parachute and when they touch ground. The person with the shortest time wins, unless that time is zero. - Warren Miller
I love how he compliments the halo jump from Misson Impossible as being so accurate. It had me laughting all the way knowing, yeah, that had to look very realistic and everything had to be as it would be with a real halo jump. Because it was after all a real halo jump.
Outpost is based on The Battle of Kamdesh which was crazy. There was a lot of medals given out for that battle and there really was no where to hide as they were at the bottom of a canyon and the enemy was basically on top of them. Officers lost their job for putting a COP in that spot. Lastly the Paratroopers in WW II they were jumping and landing into bullets and flak that were coming at them so major major respect to all those guys.
A helicopter could temporarily yaw 90 degrees but it couldn’t maintain flight that way. It would lose altitude quickly. And there are reports of uh-1 Huey’s (the aircraft performing the action in question) rotor blades chopping branches and small trees when landing in small lzs during Vietnam and being perfectly fine afterwards.
What I find funny about Battleship is that they, for all intents and purposes, take a decommissioned Museum Ship and fuel/arm it in one afternoon just to run it at 30+ knots AND would just snap the anchor chains if/when it gets caught at something and that ~40-45 tons (assuming it's no-where near full-load) of displacement keeps on going...
If done years ago and with 1 of its sister ships not that one, fuel and ammo would not have been an issue due to the order that 2 of them had to be maintained in battle ready condition if needed. Don’t believe that order is still around though
@@grimalkin6676 I believe even then there was (still is?) huge difference between decommed Museum Ships and various levels of "Mothball fleet". I'd imagine recently mothballed Iowas being on the most Battle-Ready side but even then they'd not have Munition etc on board. Bringing cold Iowa to operation-ready status would take lots of time, even at best conditions. And you are right about rotation duty of Iowas, this indeed was and kinda still is the doctrine of USN CVs and other strike assets, tho I'd have to counter-ask: "Hawaii was isolated by the forcefield. Assuming "R&R Iowa" was inside the Dome and had remained unnoticed by the Alien ship (plot armor), why not use it instead? Why bother with the Museum?" Out-of-Rotation Iowa wouldn't really have been at Pearl and active duty would prolly had been sunk by the Alien by now and thus would recognize Museum-Iowa as a (possible) Threat.
@@Makapaa Well yeah of course, it would still take abit but they were meant to be maintained in good condition as per the order of the national defense act if needed for emergency and amphibious operations. Given it stated emergency I usually think could be returned to service in mabey a week? Still far from the movie but much more viable than what actually happens in the movie. And I don't know if both did but I do know one of the two that were being maintained did have some (Not a full load) of munitions for its guns on-board for a short period of time though by the time the act ended it no longer had munitions on it. Though overall I enjoyed the movie. And somewhat disappointed battleships won't ride out again. Though much more disappointed that the enterprise from ww2 wasn't made a museum ship with them. That is just an insult.
Not only does the bullet make noise as the sonic boom passes, also makes a pretty good "thump" when it impacts, especially when the shot is suppressed.
Loved the video! My uncle was in the 101 airborne during ww2. His was also portrayed in band of brothers ( the character that left battle of the bulge due to his feet). He was supposed to talk of the Band of brothers. He pasted away from throat cancer and he was is buried here in DFW. Every time i see static jump scenes make me think of him. I really missed his stories of WW2
Was it Joseph D. Toye? According to the Veteran’s funeral care website, he was considered the toughest of the tough by his comrades, and he was awarded 4 Purple Hearts and a bronze star after he lost his leg in the battle of the bulge.
I can speak for the submarine shots and some of the surface ship action, and I know for a fact that there where and are men in every military branch in every country that preformed extra ordinary and above the call of duty actions and I salute them all... This was the greatest RUclips presentation clip I have ever seen...
24:50 That reminds me of the story about when the USS Wisconsin annihilated an artillery battery during the Korean War. They got hit once by an artillery shell and fired a full broadside which sent the Wisconsin 7 feet to the right from the recoil. Afterwards, the USS Buck (which was guiding it) flashed its signal lamp and only said "Temper, temper..."
USS Wisconsin didn’t move an inch firing full broadside. None of them did. That theory has been debunked many times. The guns have recoil slides up to 48 inches inside where the shock is evenly distributed through turrets foundation. The guns aren’t enough to move almost 58,000 tons of ship. The sideways wake seen in water is only from the muzzle blast. Rest of story is true
I would love to see this entire panel get together actually watch a movie and give their full honest opinion on it, in terms of what's right and what is just totally Hollywood hyperbole based on their expertise
Haven’t finished watching yet but thinking back to the ancient warfare expert. I love the way the British expert never went over a 7 but kept all grades in like the 4 to 7 range but the navy seal is like 10 and 0/ can we do negative numbers?
I'm at about 25:30 in video, first off as a combat vet who served in OEF, huge thank you for your service! (When we had to go out and threat was high, having air support "on-station" made me feel much safer, and when A10s or SWT went to work, the enemy was always effectively stopped from firing down on us using the mountains.) With all the threat from RPGs, I'm wondering if a "mini-CIWS" could possibly work on a helicopter to hit projectile before it was too close?
Just a wild guess that it would be hard to make it work. A CIWS is on a big, stable platform (a ship), preferably with a lot of clear area around it so it can engage targets easily, plus a lot of ammunition. I can only see a "mini-CIWS" mounted on the underside on a helicopter, which would make landing a little more difficult. The platform itself isn't that stable, due to much lower mass and being in the air, which would rock and push the helicopter around when firing (possibly). It sounds unfeasible and impractical, but not saying it is impossible.
as a girl I am not heavily interested in war movies however I love history so I could listen to these guys - and gal - for hours, thank you for all the awesome info! all the movies getting a low grade - why not hire those guys for expertise, they can't be that expensive :-).
I really hope that Mr. Rhee will actually see or has actually seen the whole of Hacksaw Ridge. It's a damn good movie and not so much about the treatment techniques as it is about the medic himself.
1:05 the main thing I was also wondering about was the man I'm the water effortlessly catching this seemingly large body falling from relatively high above him with just his two hands.
28:55 look back at Vietnam war history, Using the rotors to cut a landing zone happened. The rotors had to be replaced after, but they made it to base.
I’d beg to differ on the landing a helicopter under fire. I am a ground medic and have footage from our FOB Aerostat of a medevac landing on our position in a fire fight. Those pilots are crazy and I love them for it
So I do have to say that in the greyhound movie it seemed like the fletcher/greyhound was using it 40mm bofers to fire at the water. They were ment for surface and air defense as well as its 5 main guns.
I'd love to see several of them doing scenes from MASH, especially the surgeon. Both the movie and the series. Sure there was a lot of comedy BS but there were also a lot of drama scenes.
You can tell just how peters experiences affect him by how he winces when he speaks of injuries of iraq, these men are heroes and deserve to be treated like kings❤
Can absolutely confirm Doc's tales. Was in Ramadi for 15 months. They'll hit the chow hall, make calls over Big Voice, even come and wake you up because they had a list of where everyone was and their blood type. No idea if me and this guy were there together, but I can tell you that you start to resent the doc because he doesn't have to stand in line for hours.
I'm definitely learning a lot from these videos it's nice to get an explanation on rebreathers and what it's party like being in special forces diving underwater.
i trained under Dr. Peter Ree at the Naval Trauma Training Center in LAC/USC as an FMF Corpsman. Brilliant trauma surgeon looking back 20 years later as an ER RN
26:34 I thought that black hawk did get hit in the tail rotor in real life and pretty sure the crash and how it's positioned in the movie is almost identical to how it was on the ground in real life.
Both crashes in Black Hawk Down were accurately portrayed. Super 61 was hit in the tail rotor and immediately went down. The aircraft's nose hit a building and caused the helicopter to roll on it's side. Super 64 was called in to take 61's place above the battle and was struck in the tail before Durant had flown a single orbit of the area. The helicopter initially held together so they attempted to fly back to base but the tail rotor eventually failed causing them to crash into a bunch of tin huts. Durant and Donovan where able to keep the helicopter level so 64 crashed on it's belly and stayed right side up. Unfortunately, the crash was so violent that only Durant survived with a broken back. Both aircraft were hit in the tail because the Somalis' firing the RPGs aimed at the helicopter instead of leading it so by the time the RPG reached the helicopter's altitude, the grenade hit the aircraft in the tail. I'm a little skeptical of her because she claimed at 27:08 that these rocket pods carry 26 rockets... they don't. Those are M261 rocket pods which hold 19 rockets. You can clearly count them in the still picture as she's talking about it. It's concerning because a AH-1 pilot should know how many rockets are carried in one of the two rocket pods used by the US military. It's either 7 rockets (which is what the AH-1W usually carried) or 19 rockets (which the AH-1W usually did not carry due to weight). I don't know where she got 26 from. I'm not aware of any 26 shot aerial rocket pods used by any military.
1:00 now you know that Hollywood always has to do the seal reveal in modern war movies. 23:31 the tactic is called club hauling. supposedly it was used back in the days of sail. now whether or not it was a real tactic, I honestly don't know but that's what it's called.
The movie Hamburger Hill gave my uncle nightmares who served as a medic in Vietnam. Hamburger Hill is a great battle movie that should more well known but is overshadowed by Platoon and Born of the Fourth of July.
Seeing as how the guy is an old school Naval guy and he gets to see a battleship in a modern movie, even a ridiculous one, has to be pretty cool for him. Looking him up he served in the submarine fleet but who doesn't love to see a battleship blasting aliens?
As a movie that is accurate to the source material (a board game), Battleshio is one of the most accurate movies of all time. Ever notice the alien weapons look like pegs in the game.
I said this on the original video for this. Battleship is terrible. But it's so terrible, it's fun to watch. It's a guilty pleasure and I myself have watched in numerous times.
Gotta be brutally honest here. I hate military movies. Hate action movies. Especially hate Naval military action movies. But I'll be damned if I didn't get outta my seat and fist pump when they pulled that Battleship out. 😂😂
Simply outstanding, I would love to spend some discussion time with the Combat helo pilot. With 2 tours during the mideast wars . I bet she has some amazing tales to tell. Thanks to ALL who served and especially to those who made the ultimate sacrifice!

I was a Navy Search and Rescue Medical Technician supporting HMM-365 / RCT-7 during the invasion of Iraq in 2007. I was on aircraft that landed under fire, within a stone throw of an active shoot out, to evacuate casualties. Other Corpsmen in I MEF CASEVAC reported similar experiences.
Royal Marine who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, I confirm what you are saying @chriscrumpler1665. Both British and US helicopters landed in hot landing zones. There's one case where an RAF pilot was flying a Chinook that got hit with a round that entered under the canopy, smashing the edge of the control panel, up through the seat between his legs, through his seat belt, shattering his O2 mask, skimmed his helmet before exiting the canopy.
So yes, I witnessed several hot zones for casevac in both wars.
100% that guy stayed on a fob in a surgical unit. We had pjs come into hot lz all the time in Afghanistan the pilots were badass .
@@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming One date and place i know 100% that Black Hawks repeatedly landed in hot zones for CASEVAC.

@@MrKolaros They were brave angels. The UK didn’t use smaller helicopters, they use Chinooks, a blood great big target. Mind you, in 2007 my Corps the Royal Marines, rescued a comrade using two Apache helicopters with two Royal Marines hanging onto the weapons pods. Amazing and brave, sadly the lad died. They repatriated his body. RIP Mathew Ford RM.
@@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming There are stories about Cobra pilots in Vietnam extracting green berets off the edge of a river and the green berets holding on to the skids all the way back to base.
And flying all the way back on a McGuire rig was basically the standard extract method for quite some time. More or less hanging by a loop...
The STABO and SPIE rigs really saved a lot of people. There are stories of people passing out on the McGuires and dangling/falling. Having a clip point was a massive upgrade.
By far the most accurate part of Under Siege, is that Steven Seagal knows everything about everything: A SEAL that knows how to cook, fire gunnery on a battleship, ALL of the martial arts, as well as nuclear physics...yep, they nailed it.
Seagal is basically the real life version of what everyone used to joke about Chuck Norris being.
Weird to see him back then, as a decent looking fellow. I mean he could never act, but at least he didn't look out of place in the movie. Now he's a manatee that mumbles a lot.
Seagal still knows how to cook...have you seen him lately? 😂😂😂😂
@@joshpointoh Seagal like to believe he's the real life version of the mythical Chuck Norris.
He's been a SEAL for 76 years..
22:00 I was a professional fireworks-technician. Once I saw a guy, very muscular, about 330 lbs knocked out from the muzzle-flash of an 4 inch-firework. Afterwards he told me, it was like the hardest hit, he ever got into his stomach. Pretty obvious it was very dumb to stand so close.
The soldiers that were there have already confirmed that Hacksaw Ridge was realistic, and that the soldiers heroics that we saw in the film were true.
Didn't know any world War 2 vets were alive still to see hacksaw ridge.
I know they said that about the d-day scenes in saving private Ryan.
@@jonsimpson6240 there are still ww2 vets around but they are quickly passing away, if you check out the memoirs of ww2 they are interviewing and having the few soldiers still around tell their stories. It’s a great RUclips channel and I highly recommend watching their videos if you are interested is ww2 documentaries or war history in general

@@carlmagrath6389 that's amazing. My grandfather was in Egypt after the war and he passed a few years ago.
Whoever's running the show at Insider knows what the people want. Good supercut
WOW! This has got to be about the best RUclips I have ever seen. Every one of the expert military veterans consulted deserves our thanks for their service. It's a tough call, but I gotta say Vernice rocked it! "No way a helicopter is going to fly on its side like that!" Yeah, right. This was an incredible show.
This feels like a compilation of something that I have seen already..
It is. They are just milking the series now.
@@sihledotcom Exactly seemed too familiar
Yep, I’ll still put it on in the background of though
Idk y but alot of channels are doing this rn
Yeah screw these guys
Hacksaw Ridge really caught the brutality of war and soldiers who were already suffering from PTSD. When Ghoul asks a soldier what the front is like, he already had the 1000 yard stare and just said "they are animals".
I love how you can see the excitement of a ten year-old boy seeping through the Admiral's ironclad demeanor, as he discusses the armor on those WWII ships.
Yeah too bad he's wrong about the ship moving when it fires
Rhee is an amazing individual. Tge weight of having to decide on the fly who is "worth" saving. You don't have the luxury of saving everyone.
If you waste time on a long shot, there could be 10 other guys you just sacrificed 😔
God bless him and all of them. My God he is so calm and composed. I just can't imagine how I'd handle that weight. Even if it wasn't him who killed them, farking aye it's really heavy to even think about.
How can you not love the SEAL'S sense of humour 😍😂 You just know his unit had abs of steel from all the laughing.
The Outpost features a member of the platoon that was really there during it. The way you see those guys die is very similar if not exactly how they died. The battle produced two Medal of Honor recipients.
I still can't believe you guys got an admiral to contribute to this. Amazing work
Great compilation of military specialists. The seals parachuting with the smoke trails made me laugh. I thought it looked cool, I never thought about how it actually signals the enemy you're coming. I guess a lot of directors are like that- "It's not realistic!" "I don't care, it looks cool!"
I never used smoke on a night jump as no one would see it. Gave me a laugh. WW2 mass drops looked awesome. Good presentation from all of them.
They’re not going up against human enemies in Godzilla, I’m pretty sure the smoke is to let allies on the ground know where they are. The giant monsters aren’t going to pay any mind to a few smoke trails. Plus yeah, it makes for a cool shot
Vernice Armour has got to be one of the coolest names I've ever heard
You didn’t have to hit an enemy vessel with a 16 inch shell. Landing next to the vessel will cause a near hit. What that does is to buckle the hull plates by the power of the water concussions against the hull. In the movie it looks like a WWII vintage submarine. The damage against the hull and collateral damage against the machinery could cause it not to be able to dive, inoperable or even sink from the damage.
Only problem with your statement is that's a DD which would have only carried 5-in guns, not 16-inch ones. As for the shot underwater, that was with the 40mm AA guns which is a bit more interesting in what kind of damage would have been caused honestly.
7:12 loved the passive aggression here :D
instantly you could tell he personally hated using those things
God Bless the veterans who spoke in this video. We are truly grateful for your service and I have the utmost respect for you all.
Fascinating to hear from each of the presenters - they bring such a wealth of experience in a world so far removed from anything I know - I was riveted the entire time.
Andy Stumpf is dropping knowledge?? I'm sold.
Skydivers like to have competitions to see how much time it takes between when they open the parachute and when they touch ground. The person with the shortest time wins, unless that time is zero. - Warren Miller

I love how he compliments the halo jump from Misson Impossible as being so accurate. It had me laughting all the way knowing, yeah, that had to look very realistic and everything had to be as it would be with a real halo jump. Because it was after all a real halo jump.
"We use a new drug called 'ketamine'."
Biyatch I partied with k in the 90's lmao
Outpost is based on The Battle of Kamdesh which was crazy. There was a lot of medals given out for that battle and there really was no where to hide as they were at
the bottom of a canyon and the enemy was basically on top of them. Officers lost their job for putting a COP in that spot. Lastly the Paratroopers in WW II they were
jumping and landing into bullets and flak that were coming at them so major major respect to all those guys.
A helicopter could temporarily yaw 90 degrees but it couldn’t maintain flight that way. It would lose altitude quickly. And there are reports of uh-1 Huey’s (the aircraft performing the action in question) rotor blades chopping branches and small trees when landing in small lzs during Vietnam and being perfectly fine afterwards.
Vernice Armour is a damn cool name to have esp as someone in the military
What's impressed me most is the words " Confirming someone that's dead in few seconds is not easy to do"
What I find funny about Battleship is that they, for all intents and purposes, take a decommissioned Museum Ship and fuel/arm it in one afternoon just to run it at 30+ knots AND would just snap the anchor chains if/when it gets caught at something and that ~40-45 tons (assuming it's no-where near full-load) of displacement keeps on going...
With the power of AC/DC, anything is possible.
@@Burkutace27 Truth ^
You can go stuff your logic in a sack, sir 😤
If done years ago and with 1 of its sister ships not that one, fuel and ammo would not have been an issue due to the order that 2 of them had to be maintained in battle ready condition if needed. Don’t believe that order is still around though
@@grimalkin6676 I believe even then there was (still is?) huge difference between decommed Museum Ships and various levels of "Mothball fleet". I'd imagine recently mothballed Iowas being on the most Battle-Ready side but even then they'd not have Munition etc on board. Bringing cold Iowa to operation-ready status would take lots of time, even at best conditions.
And you are right about rotation duty of Iowas, this indeed was and kinda still is the doctrine of USN CVs and other strike assets, tho I'd have to counter-ask: "Hawaii was isolated by the forcefield. Assuming "R&R Iowa" was inside the Dome and had remained unnoticed by the Alien ship (plot armor), why not use it instead? Why bother with the Museum?"
Out-of-Rotation Iowa wouldn't really have been at Pearl and active duty would prolly had been sunk by the Alien by now and thus would recognize Museum-Iowa as a (possible) Threat.
@@Makapaa Well yeah of course, it would still take abit but they were meant to be maintained in good condition as per the order of the national defense act if needed for emergency and amphibious operations. Given it stated emergency I usually think could be returned to service in mabey a week? Still far from the movie but much more viable than what actually happens in the movie. And I don't know if both did but I do know one of the two that were being maintained did have some (Not a full load) of munitions for its guns on-board for a short period of time though by the time the act ended it no longer had munitions on it. Though overall I enjoyed the movie. And somewhat disappointed battleships won't ride out again. Though much more disappointed that the enterprise from ww2 wasn't made a museum ship with them. That is just an insult.
This is really awesome, hearing the point of view from them.
So this is just a video combining all previous videos of the military experts reviewing scenes from film
Yes.
I thought I had seen em before lol I thought I was having deja vu.
Not only does the bullet make noise as the sonic boom passes, also makes a pretty good "thump" when it impacts, especially when the shot is suppressed.
Loved the video! My uncle was in the 101 airborne during ww2. His was also portrayed in band of brothers ( the character that left battle of the bulge due to his feet). He was supposed to talk of the Band of brothers. He pasted away from throat cancer and he was is buried here in DFW. Every time i see static jump scenes make me think of him. I really missed his stories of WW2
What was his name?
Was it Joseph D. Toye? According to the Veteran’s funeral care website, he was considered the toughest of the tough by his comrades, and he was awarded 4 Purple Hearts and a bronze star after he lost his leg in the battle of the bulge.
George Lomonaco and I really miss his storiesand cancer took him too soon@@Teslijah
@@orkusdorkusmaximus his name was George Lomonaco? Sorry, am I being too intrusive?
that is correct@@Teslijah
The parachute expert and I are similarly in awe of what the guys did for us in WW2. Thanks to all who served us!
I can speak for the submarine shots and some of the surface ship action, and I know for a fact that there where and are men in every military branch in every country that preformed extra ordinary and above the call of duty actions and I salute them all... This was the greatest RUclips presentation clip I have ever seen...
Stumpf is legend.
I absolutely loved Hacksaw Ridge. One of my favorites
The AP Royal Oak on Dr. Rhee is very nice. 👍😍
I really enjoyed this compilation of all the military expert reviews, but my lord the volume difference killed me
24:50 That reminds me of the story about when the USS Wisconsin annihilated an artillery battery during the Korean War. They got hit once by an artillery shell and fired a full broadside which sent the Wisconsin 7 feet to the right from the recoil. Afterwards, the USS Buck (which was guiding it) flashed its signal lamp and only said "Temper, temper..."
XD yeah and if I remember right that artillery shell was Basicly a mosquito bite. Didnt Even hurt it but still got wiped off the face of the map
USS Wisconsin didn’t move an inch firing full broadside. None of them did. That theory has been debunked many times. The guns have recoil slides up to 48 inches inside where the shock is evenly distributed through turrets foundation. The guns aren’t enough to move almost 58,000 tons of ship. The sideways wake seen in water is only from the muzzle blast. Rest of story is true
"You shoot a tank until it burns or changes shape." What a quote!
I would love to see this entire panel get together actually watch a movie and give their full honest opinion on it, in terms of what's right and what is just totally Hollywood hyperbole based on their expertise
The compilation I didn't know I needed.
The Tuskegee Airmen patch on the pilot is nice. Love seeing the legends live on
Haven’t finished watching yet but thinking back to the ancient warfare expert. I love the way the British expert never went over a 7 but kept all grades in like the 4 to 7 range but the navy seal is like 10 and 0/ can we do negative numbers?
14:53 you can see the image appear in his mind when he talked about it. Thank you for your service sir!
cant we all just appreciate how great this video is
Who says we don't?
I'm at about 25:30 in video, first off as a combat vet who served in OEF, huge thank you for your service! (When we had to go out and threat was high, having air support "on-station" made me feel much safer, and when A10s or SWT went to work, the enemy was always effectively stopped from firing down on us using the mountains.)
With all the threat from RPGs, I'm wondering if a "mini-CIWS" could possibly work on a helicopter to hit projectile before it was too close?
Just a wild guess that it would be hard to make it work. A CIWS is on a big, stable platform (a ship), preferably with a lot of clear area around it so it can engage targets easily, plus a lot of ammunition. I can only see a "mini-CIWS" mounted on the underside on a helicopter, which would make landing a little more difficult. The platform itself isn't that stable, due to much lower mass and being in the air, which would rock and push the helicopter around when firing (possibly).
It sounds unfeasible and impractical, but not saying it is impossible.
@@KamiKaZantA A trophy style system would be more feasible
Andy Stumpf always seems like someone who does not bullshit and knows his stuff. Someone you would want coming to help you!
as a girl I am not heavily interested in war movies however I love history so I could listen to these guys - and gal - for hours, thank you for all the awesome info! all the movies getting a low grade - why not hire those guys for expertise, they can't be that expensive :-).
Medic here: it was so awesome seeing my training connect to the silver screen. Soldier Medic, Warrior Spirit.
I really hope that Mr. Rhee will actually see or has actually seen the whole of Hacksaw Ridge. It's a damn good movie and not so much about the treatment techniques as it is about the medic himself.
1:05 the main thing I was also wondering about was the man I'm the water effortlessly catching this seemingly large body falling from relatively high above him with just his two hands.
19:53
99% sure those aren't the AA guns the admiral is talking about haha
28:55 look back at Vietnam war history, Using the rotors to cut a landing zone happened. The rotors had to be replaced after, but they made it to base.
WW2 paratroopers, a very special breed of man.
I need more insight from Ms. Vernice and Mr. Peter. They are both super knowledgeable and entertaining
Did anyone else notice Vincent J. Speranza in one of the parachute photos. Now there is a story in its own right. God bless him
man this is the coolest video I've ever seen on this channel yet! Really wanna see more of this type
People's faces who aren't used to Andy's humor 😆 Cleared Hot podcast people.
I’m here for it!
I’d beg to differ on the landing a helicopter under fire. I am a ground medic and have footage from our FOB Aerostat of a medevac landing on our position in a fire fight. Those pilots are crazy and I love them for it
Andy is an American treasure. His podcast is tremendous.
Why do i have the feeling I have seen this before... This is a compilation of all the previous military experts isn't it?
So I do have to say that in the greyhound movie it seemed like the fletcher/greyhound was using it 40mm bofers to fire at the water. They were ment for surface and air defense as well as its 5 main guns.
I want to start a petition to rename the 'NavBoard' to 'SeaGlide'
I loved hearing from the Doc and his training on blood loss!
I'd love to see several of them doing scenes from MASH, especially the surgeon. Both the movie and the series. Sure there was a lot of comedy BS but there were also a lot of drama scenes.
You can tell just how peters experiences affect him by how he winces when he speaks of injuries of iraq, these men are heroes and deserve to be treated like kings❤
Can absolutely confirm Doc's tales. Was in Ramadi for 15 months. They'll hit the chow hall, make calls over Big Voice, even come and wake you up because they had a list of where everyone was and their blood type. No idea if me and this guy were there together, but I can tell you that you start to resent the doc because he doesn't have to stand in line for hours.
Thank you for everything. ❤
I'm definitely learning a lot from these videos it's nice to get an explanation on rebreathers and what it's party like being in special forces diving underwater.
My man noticed the second 76mm tank. 🤝
i trained under Dr. Peter Ree at the Naval Trauma Training Center in LAC/USC as an FMF Corpsman. Brilliant trauma surgeon looking back 20 years later as an ER RN
26:34 I thought that black hawk did get hit in the tail rotor in real life and pretty sure the crash and how it's positioned in the movie is almost identical to how it was on the ground in real life.
it did get hit in the tail rotor, after action pictures confirm it. Its one of the most realistic crashes in movies
@UCY06h9R72gYY5xRGFpEqPIQ pilots would fire the rockets, the gunner controlled the ir laser for hellfires, the hellfires themselves, and the 30mm
Both crashes in Black Hawk Down were accurately portrayed. Super 61 was hit in the tail rotor and immediately went down. The aircraft's nose hit a building and caused the helicopter to roll on it's side. Super 64 was called in to take 61's place above the battle and was struck in the tail before Durant had flown a single orbit of the area. The helicopter initially held together so they attempted to fly back to base but the tail rotor eventually failed causing them to crash into a bunch of tin huts. Durant and Donovan where able to keep the helicopter level so 64 crashed on it's belly and stayed right side up. Unfortunately, the crash was so violent that only Durant survived with a broken back.
Both aircraft were hit in the tail because the Somalis' firing the RPGs aimed at the helicopter instead of leading it so by the time the RPG reached the helicopter's altitude, the grenade hit the aircraft in the tail.
I'm a little skeptical of her because she claimed at 27:08 that these rocket pods carry 26 rockets... they don't. Those are M261 rocket pods which hold 19 rockets. You can clearly count them in the still picture as she's talking about it. It's concerning because a AH-1 pilot should know how many rockets are carried in one of the two rocket pods used by the US military. It's either 7 rockets (which is what the AH-1W usually carried) or 19 rockets (which the AH-1W usually did not carry due to weight). I don't know where she got 26 from. I'm not aware of any 26 shot aerial rocket pods used by any military.
Honestly Vernice is my favourite. She seems so sweet and funny.
1:00 now you know that Hollywood always has to do the seal reveal in modern war movies.
23:31 the tactic is called club hauling. supposedly it was used back in the days of sail. now whether or not it was a real tactic, I honestly don't know but that's what it's called.
The movie Hamburger Hill gave my uncle nightmares who served as a medic in Vietnam. Hamburger Hill is a great battle movie that should more well known but is overshadowed by Platoon and Born of the Fourth of July.
I don't think they could have found a better expert in his field than Admiral Foggo.
I actually love that this clip is 45 minutes long.. This can be my in-background work video.
Hey I was just wondering if you made this your in - background work video?
As an infantry soldier. We love our medics. True angels
This actually really entertaining.
Hollywood and reality, two words that shouldn't be used in the same sentance.
MIke Durant's Helicopter was hit in the tail rotor. It's well documented, it really happened.
I’m here for Andy and he didn’t disappoint 😂
This might be the first time I heard anyone call "Battleship" one of their favorite movies 🤣
its kinda fun to watch stoned ngl
Seeing as how the guy is an old school Naval guy and he gets to see a battleship in a modern movie, even a ridiculous one, has to be pretty cool for him. Looking him up he served in the submarine fleet but who doesn't love to see a battleship blasting aliens?
As a movie that is accurate to the source material (a board game), Battleshio is one of the most accurate movies of all time.
Ever notice the alien weapons look like pegs in the game.
I said this on the original video for this. Battleship is terrible. But it's so terrible, it's fun to watch. It's a guilty pleasure and I myself have watched in numerous times.
Gotta be brutally honest here.
I hate military movies. Hate action movies. Especially hate Naval military action movies.
But I'll be damned if I didn't get outta my seat and fist pump when they pulled that Battleship out. 😂😂
Absolute blast getting to see these people break it down for us. Killer line up
Simply outstanding, I would love to spend some discussion time with the Combat helo pilot.

One thing to note at in regards to the helicopters at 26:42 is they specifically don't have nose mounted guns or cannons.
