Roy Benevidez, the true Captain America. Absolute beast of a man. RIP MSGT Benevidez, thank for your service and thank you for being an inspiration to many young people to whom you gave your time and speeches to.
We are very proud of him in Texas. I posted a story about him about a week ago. One of my high school classmates said he knew him and he was a great guy.
As a military veteran, I appreciate you guys doing this. Even though it's depressing to watch, people still need to see and learn about stories like these. Thanks so muc and keep up the good work.
Vietnam had some crazy heroism during battle. I have an uncle who was nominated for a Medal of Honor but received a Silver Star instead (second highest award which is still a high honor and typically rewarded for a feat of valor that can’t be independently verified by enough spectators for the MOH) for defending a field hospital during an attack by himself. He was a medic who didn’t really fight but had to when the hospital was attacked.
The Silver Star is the third highest award. For the Army, the Distinguished Service Cross, for the Navy and Marine Corps its the Navy Cross is the 2nd highest award. The Silver Star is the third and above the Bronze Star. The Silver Star can only be awarded for Valor, while the Bronze Star can be awarded or Valor (which is the V Device on it) the other is for Achievement or Merit. Usually awarded to at the end of a tour (in my opinion these usually go to senior enlisted and officers). I hope I'm not coming across harshly but just wanted you to be aware. The Silver Star is still an amazing award, and rarely awarded. It is always a difficult award to "earn"/be awarded. There is a lot to be proud of for that award. Much respect to him.
@@repeter I was never in any service so I don’t know the particulars of awards. I just know the few times he talked about Vietnam, my uncle wasn’t very proud of killing people. He wanted to just be a medic and help the wounded, but got stuck in several situations where he had to just be a standard soldier or die. He received lots of medals. From his display, I remember the Silver Star and a Purple Heart among several others. My other uncle, the aforementioned uncle’s brother, was in the army rangers during Vietnam. He refuses to talk at all about combat and will leave the room if someone brings it up. The only thing I’ve found out about his service is that he was wounded twice during combat. I have another uncle who served in the coast guard and my dad was in the Navy during Vietnam, but they had pretty uneventful times in the service.
@@josephbridges7470 most don't celebrate killing the enemy, even if it had to be done. Unfortunately Vietnam was bad for service men and women returning as they were not given any kind of assistance. Plus after doing all that to come back to an ungrateful nation that questioned and accused them. Most veterans rarely open up about their service, because its impossible to put into words that a normal person can understand, but sometimes they will open up more with other veterans. Things have gotten little better since then, society accepts service more now, but don't understand still. There is some help available now, but its often crude and ineffective as veterans still don't want to open up to a "shrink" that has never done service, let alone seen battle or death upclose. I know myself, i don't always open up even with some other veterans because so few have seen combat, even if deployed. You can read the award citations, but even that rarely explains it as deeply. A lot of troops see these awards not as a showcase of bravery, or valor, but as the worst days of their life. The day everything went completely wrong and lost friends, so they won't always want to relive it. And its a constant reminder of what happened. There are lots of other reasons its not talked about or as understood, but I think those are some of the main factors. Very few have the reference for even understanding, no matter how well intentioned. And fewer are able to describe it so it could be understood. Survivor's guilt. Too much pain.
Many vets don’t like to talk to people that haven’t served about their stories..I was Army and I’ve had people open up to me rather than their family, primarily because we all went through the same shit and could understand….The saying “you couldn’t know, you weren’t there” is kind of true. Not trying to sound high and mighty but some things can’t be put into words they just have to be experienced to understand.

Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez Message To America, is a good follow up video to react to. The video is by Drew Losch and it's 6:41 long. You will get to see and hear Mr. Benavidez speak to a audience.
My uncle was in the 25th Infantry Division, "Tropic Lightning", during the cross border Cambodia/Laos/Vietnam fighting. Much respect to all who served in that AO, it was highly secretive and largely forgotten today.
Another good one to check out would be "WW2 Medal Of Honor Recipient Hershel "Woody" Williams | Memoirs Of WWII #7" in which he describes the events that led to his medal of honor for his actions at Iwo Jima. He is still alive today. Quite a man. A living hero.
Nice! Hope you react to other Simple Histories here are some of my recommends if you do. The Man who fought a war with a longbow and sword The Medic who fought a war without a weapon The One Eyed Scout who liberated an entire town by himself White Feather The Sniper who shot an enemy's own scope The dentist who fought of a banzi attack single handed The gurkha who took on 200 troops with one hand The President who kept reading a speech after being shot The marine who fought with a gun made out of three guns and The White Death the world's deadliest sniper
This man lived breathed and loved, the Army.!! I mean, he grew up, made fun of by Mexicans and Indians. Basically became a paraplegic after Korean tour and again after his first Vietnam tour! And he put his body back into shape!! The greatest soldier ever. I met him back in early 90s, when I was in the 82nd. And another thing, after all he did that day, when I met him, I said to myself," this guy is small, like 5'6" and 160- how... did he do all that?". Michael Pena, needs to produce,direct, and star in a movie, about him. I mean, he grew up, made fun of by Mexicans and Indians. Basically became a paraplegic after Korean tour and again after his first Vietnam tour! And he put his body back into shape!!!
Their was 3 Russian who liberated a Russian town after escaping a Labour camp and stealing a T34 back! They killed several enemy tanks and many soldiers then drove like 700 miles back home! Crazy story of survival!
If you have the time, you guys should react to a highlight reel of Sean Taylor’s best (american) football plays. He was a safety in the NFL for the Washington redskins. Arguably one of the best for how much he did in such little time. Most definitely one of the hardest hitters/tacklers.
My dad was a green beret in Vietnam. He won a Purple Heart for being wounded while helping to rescue two of his unit in heavy crossfire. He’s got some stories tho
My dad was a combat engineer in Vietnam during the tet Offensive and he said he was helping work and reload tanks back at the base while holding off foot soldiers and a tank came in with the entire Turret blew off and everyone but the driver had been killed by shrapnel and he wanted the tank fueled back up and when my dad asked why he said “I will run the SOB’s over don’t need the gun. He said he filled it up amd dude tore out into the jungle and he never saw him again never knew why happened to him. He said he very well could be alive but he doubted it as he was going into the hottest fighting in the country thousands of men attacking all over the country!
Thank you guys, so very very much, for showing this. We electricians rarely get any credit for the lives we've saved. We certainly never get medals of honor even though we earn them.
His call sign Tango Mike Mike his friends said that it stood for “That Mean Mexican”. Had a friend from high school that knew him said he was a great guy. Listen to him on a video say that he was the only guy that could speak German with a Texas. accent. What a guy. Drove by the cemetery he’s buried in last Saturday. So many of our Vietnam vets did not receive the adulations that they deserved.
Keep it up guys, really enjoying this stuff! I’m going to have to give a listen to the podcast, I have yet to check it out which I feel bad about because I love everything else you’re doing!
As soon as I seen the title I was sure I knew who you would be talking about! You should watch one of the videos where he speaks to young people. He was an amazing man.
Doctor - "You will never walk again" Roy - "Walk? No my friend, im joining the green berets." Holy shit! Makes me take serious stock of my life, and the challenges that stop me. Inspirational! EDIT: I wonder if hostile leaders of other nations have watched this video, and others showing the extreme bravery and skills of the soldiers of America and our allies? Maybe they should alter their behavior, so they dont have to face servicemembers such as Roy Benevides and John Chapman.
Regarding the length of time to receive the "Medal of Honor"...A Civil War hero of the Battle of Gettysburg, Alonzo Cushing...received the Medal of Honor 150 YEARS after he was killed at that battle.
For those interested, here is MSgt Roy P. Benavidez in his own words (live recording): (Reagan Ceremony & Speech) ruclips.net/video/i3nncd4sxaM/видео.html [ But I think this animated video did a GREAT job of making it clear what Benavidez did! ] Just providing a video for those who want to see his FACE and hear his own VOICE.
Definitely check out Audie Murphy. His story is just as unbelievable. War usually brings out the worst in people, but sometimes, it brings out the best instead.
Hello. This is from your bull riding wrecks from a couple of months ago. I placed it here because you asked for comments for other suggestions about rodeos. In just watching the wrecks you don't really understand what you are seeing . Hello pards, Greetings from Texas. FYI The ground men are rodeo clowns (their main job is rescue work) while the man horse back is called the pick up man. One of his jobs is penning all of the animals after each run. But his main job is picking up the bare back and saddle bronc riders after their ride. THe bull rider dismounts the best way he can after his 8 seconds. The cowboys riding rough stock horses on the other hand generally bail off on the back of the pick up mans horse as he runs up beside the running bucking horse. That in itself is quite an amazing feat. Do yourself a favor and watch a compilation video on bull riding , bare back riding , and saddle bronc riding. There's nothing more beauiful than watching a great saddle bronc ride. Horse and rider come together in like a beautiful ballet . Wonderful. Nothing better.
U were right it did inspire Forrest Gump writer and also the rambo movie. Actually all the things that happened in Forrest gump were inspired by real events.
That American Indian blood in that man! 😏 No that was amazing and inspiring. Think you’re having a bad day…..well get tough. I’m still shaking my head.
You blokes should check out the Battle of Samar sometime . The action took place off the Philippine Islands on October 25 , 1944 when a large force of Japanese warships attacked a smaller force of American ships . A few USN ships were sunk with the loss of many American sailors' lives in a ridiculously lopsided battle that saw the Japanese Battleship Yamato and her battlegroup retreating . Of note is CDR E. Ernest Evans , Captain of the USS Johnston . He received a MOH for his crews actions that day , at the price of his ship , his life , and many of his crew . Edit . Violent But True , Bedtime Stories by Gruntsyle did a video about CDR Ernest E. Evans and Roy Benividez some years ago . You should look that up .
I could not do that after going through that. The only thing I would qualify for is a Raspberry Beret. And not even the kind you find in a second hand store lol
You guys should watch that same channel’s video on mad jack churchill. They say WWII ended because the US dropped atomic bombs on Japan, but they really surrendered because they knew mad jack was coming.
Please look for a video on Audie Murphy. He was a WWII hero turned actor and musician. He was a little dude but pulled off some serious Rambo shit. Amazing story. It's called Tiny But Crazy Brave. It's the same kind of video as this. 👍
I believe that you can find elements of his story in Forest Gump and Rambo. There is one thing about this video that the timeline does not make sense. How did he step on a land mine on that mission before he became a Green Baret? Those are the type of missions (infiltration) that they do strictly. Not airborne types of missions. Look up his speech. It is great.
This sounds similar to the scene in forest gump when he saved all his men in Vietnam. Even though that movie is fictional I bet they got the idea from this veteran.
Crazy thing as the only reason I know about this guy is because of my parachute training. According to legend (I have nothing verified to back this up) he had a penchant for deploying at pretty insane altitudes. Even by HALO standards.
You guys need to watch "The first medal of honor ever recorded on video" Thats another one of those stories you wouldn't believe if it wasn't recorded.
You must watch the SERIES of HOPSIN. There is a total of 9 videos in the series called { ILL MIND } & you just gotta start @ #1 & go on from their. Now there is no #2 it goes from #1 to #3...... I'm so excited to see your Reactions.
I had the privilege of hearing Sgt Benevidez speak at my Texas high school in 1982. A true American hero.
God you’re so lucky. I never heard about this hero until now and it’s kind of sad but at least I can share his stories to my friends.
Met him several times, an intense individual.

3 words, "FRIGIN ROY BENAVIDEZ". Hello Hollywood, see a feature here.
I believe that you can find elements of his story in Forest Gump and Rambo. There is one thing about this video that the timeline does not make sense. How did he step on a land mine on that mission before he became a Green Baret? Those are the type of missions (infiltration) that they do strictly. Not airborne types of missions.
Look up his speech. It is great.
Watch one of his speeches that are on youtube. Benavidez is the funniest man on the planet when telling this story.
This sounds similar to the scene in forest gump when he saved all his men in Vietnam. Even though that movie is fictional I bet they got the idea from this veteran.
They should make a movie about this! If u guys haven't seen it u should watch hacksaw ridge! Great war movie based on true story
Crazy thing as the only reason I know about this guy is because of my parachute training. According to legend (I have nothing verified to back this up) he had a penchant for deploying at pretty insane altitudes. Even by HALO standards.
You guys need to watch "The first medal of honor ever recorded on video" Thats another one of those stories you wouldn't believe if it wasn't recorded.
They‘ve already watched it.
The jump out the helicopter was 30-50 feet high😳
Tejas proud 💪
There is a song called Green Bater
Fun fact: Rambo was inspired by this man
Tango Mike Mike - That mean Mexican
Roy benavidez.has the balls of steel
You need to watch the video of him telling his story. This doesn't even begin to do him justice.
Master Sgt. Damn.
You must watch the SERIES of HOPSIN.
There is a total of 9 videos in the series called { ILL MIND } & you just gotta start @ #1 & go on from their. Now there is no #2 it goes from #1 to #3...... I'm so excited to see your Reactions.
Have you guys watched the One Eyed Scout who took an entire city? Canadian Leo Major?
Unfortunately, the thing that eventually killed Master Sergeant Roy Benavidaz, was diabetes. A true legend and inspirational man.
The balls on this guy!
You need to watch about Jack Churchill.
Hero used to mean something. These days people consider themselves heroes just for showing up to work
They brought guns to a knife fight with this man..
Should react to Desmond Doss, The Man who went to War without a Rifle
0:59 *CHEWSDAY*
React to the Canadian guy in ww2 who liberated a whole village by himself, Leo Major was the chaps name
Supposedly the book and film Rambo were based on his life. Personally I think a film actually about HIM would’ve been better.
You should really watch the video of him telling the story. It's even better
He actually died from complications due to diabetes.
You guys should check out the fallen of world war 2 it’s a real eye opener on the true numbers
That's America for ya, we fight hard if you push us the wrong way so maybe mind your manners, cause we're some bastards 😆
Do John Chapman next. First ever "recorded" Medal of Honor recipient.
You should watch his speech
