To hear the hell is real
As a combat veteran there was an instance where I kept thinking my gun was jammed after pulling the trigger. Turns out I had emptied all my magazines and swear I had only shot 4 bullets. That 6 hour post felt less than 15 minutes. We started receiving fire 10 minutes after we arrived.
Glad you made it home.
Is that you in your pfp ?
Dude, that is wild. It's kind of scary what the mind can achieve and endure when you're fighting to stay alive. You probably weren't even remotely aware that you may have had to pee during those six hours.
Glad you’re here to tell the story, brother. IRQ or AFG? Much love.
Thank you for your service. God bless you 🙏
And that is part of the reason why "confirmed kills" are only those that a third party witnesses
Edit: War is hell, just like these comments. I get it. Shush please
We lost chuck mawhinny out of my community this year. Couldn’t be more true. We’ll never know what he did, but especially cause his grandson is suffering from being an incurable prick. Tales lost to time. Interview your vets!!
Yup.
I can maybe talk to his grandson. I can be a massively overbearing prick.@@Exxar-Kuun
This is why Indians took scalps
@@Exxar-Kuundamn that’s a real shame. Have an epic grandfather only to get a brat 😔
Downfall of the west and we watch 🤦♂️
My Granddad told us that all he did was paint tanks during the war, as a Royal Engineer sapper in the Far East. After he died, Gran said he'd been shot and wounded in action 3 times that he'd told her of, so we know that he did a good deal more than that, but a more gentle man you'd never meet. Died at 92 in 2017.
Sounds like my Grandfather. He basically told my dad "Yea, I was in the Army and went to Korea" but never really said anything about it. Turns out decades after his death, not only was he in post occupation Germany, but in Korea, he was one of the Chosin Few... and didnt have any Purple Hearts.

Honestly, it’s entirely possible all he did was work on tanks… he just did it while under enemy fire, which probably takes as much if not more nerves than being in involved in the firefight itself.
I've heard many times that the people who say they did simple boring jobs during a war often have some of the most fascinating yet also horrifying stories of all
@@AnthonySforza
The same with my uncle he served in Germany and Korea. He didn't talk about it to really anyone other than his father who was in WW1 and me after Desert Storm. That was the only time I ever saw him drink any alcohol beverage, it was one of my decompressions from one of many deployments. Very few in the family knew, as far as most knew he was just a tank mechanic. The line of military service on my father's side of the family will come to an end with me after over 150 years.
He still has the stare when he talks about it.
Very true.
The thousand yard stare
Yeah, taking a life is never easy. Not that I would know, but from what I’ve heard from soldiers. Even when your life is on the line, those shots you take come back to haunt you.
it never goes away, you just learn to move forward with it
They can see a lot of what they went through vividly in their mind.
I knew a WW2 veteran when i was a child. He showed us his medal display. There were so many i couldnt begin to identify. He had European and pacific medals. He told us about his bronze star, he got it when his squad rushed a bunker and blew up only to find it empty. But the officer who recommended the medal didnt know it. He laughed and we laughed. I asked him about his silver star.
His face changed, he quietly asked me never to ask how he earned it again. He was a BAR Gunner. I cannot imagine what he went through. The things he saw and did to survive the war. He was a kind and caring man.
Rest in peace Richard Kastel. You earned it
Rest in peace ❤and God bless you and him ❤
Jesus loves u
🫡🙏🕊️
My father was a BAR gunner. He passed away when I was only 20. He never spoke about his service or being a POW and I was always taught not to ask. His Bronze Star, Purple Heart and other medals he kept in a cigar box at the bottom of his sock drawer.
@@charleswestbrooks1257 my dad was a Air Born Medical Ranger he never talked about the war. He’s dead and gone but my uncle told me before he died that the Air Born Medical Rangers where know as bad asses and he was very proud of my dad! Wish I had known that before dad died.
Crazy to think they can talk about this like an everyday experience. Hats off to you, sir.
Look into his eyes. It definitely wasnt an every day experience for him. He just happens to be very good at emotional control.
The way he talks you can clearly see that although he may have come at peace with a lot of things he did, it still is something pretty heavy for him.
watch the pause. Watch the eyes. He went back for a split second. And it’s heartbreaking.
Just because you learn to live with your demons doesn't mean they're going to let you sleep well!
Probably took him half his life and to watch most his generation dying of old age without telling their stories before he realized that those stories needed to be told...
Frenchman here, even after all this time, we'll never forget how courageous those veterans were. God Bless you America,
And thank you for Lafayette, and the French Navy.
France is certainly doing well now, certainly not infested with migrants, certainly not. But hey, at least we don't speak German, right?
Thoughtful Frenchman!!
Blessings to you to Mr French man 🇦🇺
No the Germans liberated France.
Americans enforced the current rulers.
This mans interview is incredible because he doesn't sugar coat anything and he tells it in some detail too.
Most older troops who’ve been in combat don’t lie. It’s the politicians that don’t have to go to war that lie
I asked a Vietnam vet,how many kills he got....he said " as many as were trying to kill me at the time.... that's why I'm here.....he said he didn't take ears like others did, they only started doing that when they found thier wounded on the field butchered.
take ears?!

@@Krilium”get-back” trophies.
My grandpa was army, 4th ID, but he said one time that they came upon a marine that had been skinned alive and nailed to a stake in the middle of a clearing - still alive.
He begged to be shot. When the sergeant left to go take a report, my grandpa said he just shot him.
That's a terrible question to ask a vet
@@Aden_IIIAll I can say to that is jesus christ
It’s a tragedy that war happens. You never know, those two men could’ve been friends if they had met under different circumstances.
That's what shifty powers said in his interview at the end of the band of brothers series.
War is the natural state of man, peace is the oddity. America has been spared due to CIA clandestine intervention agency, toppling threats before they gain ground
Then one finds out the other was banging his wife and they go back to being enemies.
Theres a docu that I re watch religiously every now and then by Ken burns on the Nam, there was one old NVA soldier talking about how after an ambush he saw the Americans were just like them, they held each other and cried when one died, they got their wounded off the field, he said "it really made me think" very eye opening in the ways of a soldiers thinking.
rich men north of Richmond
My great grandfather said he didn't know how many he killed, but could count the ones he could remember.
Of course even then this is a guess. No hit markers , no “confirmed kills”, unless someone else sees you shoot someone pretty much right next to you, you didn’t confirm anything. Like you all use the same ammo. What are you gonna do, guess whose rounds are who’s on the dudes body? Imagine grenade use or just the spray and pray nature that is the real life firefights.
@@Ineeadifferentusernamelol let's back track here, why are you stating obvious? Yes he had no idea how many he killed no one is denying this. Or maybe I'm rude, seems a lot of information in response to a common triviality among WW2 vets.
When I was a kid, my neighbor was a down pilot rescuer in Nam. This is a man that would jump out of the helicopter, hovering a few feet off the ground to run across an open rice patty under fire to throw a pilot over his shoulder and get him back to that chopper and back to safety. He was missing a part of his nose and some of his knuckles from where bullets almost took him out. He was one of the lucky ones that managed to push down all the stuff that he saw in Nam. He had medals, but I never asked him about them. I could tell he wanted to move on from all that.
Thank you for your service, Sir. No one knows the trauma you have endured.
Bless you too ❤
That stare tells a thousand stories
Because he can see everything as clear as day in his mind.
Thank you for your service!

This man sharing his experience of war is absolutely needed. We don’t teach this in school. People who have seen that kind of violence have a certain depth to their eyes. Gives it away.
I’m thankful for the men and women who put work and effort into any war effort on our behalf. Justified or otherwise. They are truly salt of the earth.
Don’t say happy Memorial Day. It does not do justice to what is or what was done. Thanking people for their service is more real. We have a semblance of a nation with their effort and blood that was given.
Always faithful.
"Thanking people for their service is more real"
Don't most vets not like that either?
Not everyone who’s seen that kind of violence has that look and some people have that look and have never been to war
@@PaladinThizz it's a trauma reaction

You can see him reliving it in his mind as he talks.
Thank you for your service sir.
Truly, the greatest generation.

I realized real early the asking Dad about his “kills” was a verboten subject. Every now & then after him & his fellow Marines would have a “session”, tongues would loosen & I’d hear things that to this day send shivers down my spine! Dad, I’m sorry you had to be exposed to this madness but thank you for doing what I know you had to do!
Love you, RIP, God bless you & hopefully your nights are no longer filled with nightmares of that time?
Wow. thankyou for sharing. I’m hoping this doesn’t cause offense if it’s inappropriate to ask I apologize and you do not have to answer obviously but I was curious and thought you can’t receive if you don’t ask so I better just ask so I’m wondering if you would share any of the stories you overheard?
That's so moving 😢bless you and yes I pray he is resting in peace ❤
The pacific?
WW2 was a great example of ending evil regimes, but sadly we are now seen as bad guys after Vietnam and Iraq. But it isn't our boy's and girl's fault who we sent overseas to fight. It's our politicians who's to blame.
Not really? Politicians are getting blamed, not people.
@@d4cto But it's not to the point where we are ending the trend. Take a long look at Afghanistan and the soldiers we lost there.
Bless you ❤
Eh, in WW2, the US propped up one evil regime to stop another and both the US and USSR had a role in propping up more all around the world in the decades that followed. The European theater was more about saving Britain's ass and protecting trade interests than anything else. The Pacific theater was about revenge and also protecting trade interests in the region. Even in the most black and white parts of history, there are still shades of gray under the surface.
@@afrikasmith104913 US uniform soldiers and alot of American backers after some idiot despite the warnings from his military advisors ordered the withdrawal of our forces in Afghanistan without proper cover. Is it any wonder military recruiters can't make their quota.
As a Tomahawk tech in the USN (‘97-‘03) this man speaks the truth
Bless ❤
This is completely off toooc but I’m sure it got a little crazy and out of the norm after the 9/11 attack for you? Bc of us going over seas into the Middle East again? Idk just a thought
I'm old enough to have had Uncles in WWII and Korea. They didn't want to talk about it, till much later in life. The stories of a young man in his late teens, early twenties and how he survived. There was no Hollywood glory. You're not watching stolen valor, but the
recollections of someones time in the European Theater.
Blessings to this man.
Never ask a veteran how many people they've killed. It's disrespectful.
I served from 1999-2014 until I got hurt. I was in 18th Airborne Corp then got moved to 82nd Airborne. I’ve deployed multiple times and in my 14 years I was always in a combat MOS. I never took it as disrespectful when someone asked. Maybe because the first person to ask me made me laugh hard and always think of him. My wife’s younger brother was about 8 years old when I came back from 1st deployment. He ran up to me and immediately gave me a hug and said “DID YA KILL ANY OF THOSE FUKERS?” in a young redneck voice.
My wife smacked him and said his full name and “don’t ask him that” and I just died laughing and now always think of that moment when asked but yeah, I never take it as disrespectful, I know kids are kids and want to know that type of thing.
Agreed!
Yea people think life's a video game
Reeeallly tho?? Reealllyy??? 😐
I asked my father in law & he just got real quiet & said wait here. He went in his room & retrieved some black & white photos from D-day WW2 that he'd taken himself, definitely authentic . Upon looking at them I realized there were piles of clothes, shoes, other items & bodies. He'd gone over D- day & clean up afterwards. He wanted me to know why before he answered my question. He didn't have to answer me & I understood right then that he probably had too. Also had an uncle who was a helicopter gunner in Vietnam. I didn't have to ask him, that was a position that didn't need any explanation. Said some of the guys were being rough with the captives & throwing them out before they'd land. The captain said cut that out be nicer & right after he said that one tried to attack & kill him , he changed his mind said get em out of here NOW so they began pushing them out before landing again.
Hate war, but it's sometimes a necessary evil.
I’m glad I was never sent overseas while I was in the army. I served 4 years (CAF). Left nearly 2 years before 9/11 happened. After it happened I thought about re-joining, but am glad I didn’t. Every single person I know who went to Afghanistan and made it back home, came home fucked right up. Of the 20 or so who came back, 8 killed themselves, 5 are drug addicts, 2 are in prison serving serious sentences, 1 has been in and out of a psychiatric hospital for the last decade, 1 nobody has seen or heard from in years, and the remaining 3 have severe PTSD
God bless them and you 😢no words ❤❤❤❤❤
Snipers know better then most soldiers how many kills they had.
Thank for you honesty and service
God bless you too ❤
That is a true hero a man who fought for the right reasons and lived thank you for all you did and all you lost may god bless you with many more years.
The right reasons are to secure the enslavement of western enslavement for the bankers and media powers that be, of a certain middle eastern tribe?

When somebody asks a question like that, "how many men did you kill", you know they have no clue as to what they're talking about.
Not what he meant, but ok
yes they don't know, that's why they asked?
@@Dendoi_ no it's the worst part of a soldier's job, it's rude because it's a horrible thing they had to do.
@@RC_Engineering Depends who you ask, some people loved their time in war
@@Dendoi_ Don't believe the propaganda and Hollywood movies.
My father had quite a few (26) confirmed in Iraq over two deployments. One thing he’ll say when civilians ask him is that he doesn’t know the true number, especially with night firefights as it’s shooting as flashes or small targets until you don’t see it.
imo it's pretty disrespectful to ask a veteran that. The fact that he has to have a canned response for it is kind of sad. He might be fine with it but it just feels like responding to bad social etiquette
There's no such thing as confirmed kills in the military, even for snipers. It's a Hollywood invention. Your dad is telling stories.
That’s what my dad told me once. He was a UN soldier in Congo in the sixties and saw plenty of action. He doesn’t like to talk about it but sometimes he does. He told me he only remembers his first kill, he used a grenade launcher, but he says that in a firefight there confusion and fear rolled into one and all he could think was: “I’m not going home in a coffin”.
Bless 🙌 ❤
Your father is a very brave man, then.
@@NoriKassidy thank you, I agree. He’s been an awesome father as well. Even if he has never said he loves me or am proud of me he shows it in so many other ways. No matter what happens he’s right by my side. He’s 81 and more vital than most teenagers today.
War is war, I hate being asked that question, it’s always ask by someone that hasn’t been there, like we would keep score, heaven forbid. Needless to say, after the first one, your soul becomes a little darker, the question those people need to ask in how many people did you save by taking the responsibility to fight and possibly die for their freedoms.
Wow. This is deep. Something I never thought of. Thank you for your service.
Truth bro. Believing I’m a good man is the only reason I haven’t “opted out” yet.

When I was around 13 I asked my WWII dad if he killed a Nazi in the war.
His face went contorted and he said “go help your mother”
I was confused. I had never seen him so upset with me. I never knew why until my brothers were in Vietnam.
@Aesop123 they were all nazis, just not all of them believed in what they were fighting for
@@PaladinThizzThey definitely were not all Nazis. The Nazis were a political party that took power in Germany. That’s it. Saying they were all Nazis is the modern day equivalent of saying “every soldier in the US army today is a republican (or democrat).”

Why
Its quite traumatic @mikerotch2654
You ask, How many men did you save?
Why? You don’t want the kids to know what war is? So they don’t learn about why you don’t go to war? And the war cicle to go on? Yes, that’s why. It don’t go well for the Oligarchy and royals.
Why

Yeah , its morbid to think about it so long like that.your there to do a job.get it done,survive,get outa there!!!

Thank you for your service young man
Best way to describe some firefights
Unlike most vidsogames you have a sense of self preservation and so does the enemy, you get behind what cover you can and fire at each other with a 20 percent chance of a hit overall or less
You try and pin them down while you flank or get an mg set up
It’s estimated that WW2 and Vietnam the US fired around 50k rounds per kill. Point stands, but 20% is a massive estimate (probably even if you run it on a probability of actually killing someone per firefight instead of per shot, but less extreme of an overestimate and I don’t know those numbers lol)
@@augustuscaeser5895 i probably over estimated
Pretty sure ww1 saw 1 in 50 shots hit and ww2 see 200 or similar with Vietnam having smaller hitrate
I read in a book on combat psychology (long after service) that in WWII, only 26% of US soldiers pulled their triggers aiming directly at the enemy. In Vietnam it was close to 95%…it was the conditioning and the close proximity…and these vets paid the price.
Thanku Sir for serving our country with bravery '& courage
God bless our Veterans❤
Pretty sure this pointman got his ear pierced in the field. You don't see a lot of pointmen.

Truth is unbelievable for people who never lived this unfortunate life . God bless you brother.
Don't ask. God bless you and thanks for your service
I think it's kinda disrespectful to EVEN ASK a question like that. Many of our soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen, suffering from PTSD, have spent their lives trying to forget the answer to that question. I understand the morbid curiosity, but please, unless they volunteer such information, have the discipline to refrain from asking. 🇺🇸 To those of you who have served, thank you for your service!
Yea but this was at a time when nearly ever US male had in some shape or form seen combat. 1 out of every 8 US soldiers killed or injured
I agree but this isn’t just a civilian issue. My grandpa fought in the battle of hue he was invited to a marine corps ball and the other vets were bragging about how many kills they got, I wasn’t there with them but when they asked my grandpa my dad told me he didn’t answer the question and never went back to another ball… You’re 100% right, These men lived it they take pride in being marines and support their brothers but when you ask them such terrible questions regardless of your intent it puts them back in those dark times.
@@spencer1381everyone is different. People handle things differently. While I have an answer to the question, I tell people the same thing every time. It doesn't matter that you do your job. It matters how you do your job.
very few airmen suffer from ptsd, and if they do its cause the internet ran out on their 'deployments'

I would never ask a veteran if he killed anyone or how many. I personally think it is very disrespectful.
Yeah the trauma they went through for all of the coming generations to be able to live a comfortable & free life, I think its totally unfair to them to bring up what could be very traumatic memories... I know if I killed another person, even in war & a kill or be killed situation, as much as I could justify it, in my head all I would be able to think about is that we the pawns were basically forced into this war & that's a human being I killed that no longer gets to experience life & it was my actions that caused it. That's a son (in this day & age it could also be a daughter) that doesn't get to go back to their Mum & Dad, or if they had kids the kids no longer have a parent, a lost sibling, uncle/aunty. I think it would crushed me to have been a war vet that killed people. This is what makes me sad about the current war in Ukraine, for both sides, even the possibility for Taiwan & China. Its not the Dictators that want the war that will be affected in any way shape or form but the pawns in their game. Evil.
@@spicyhummus6266yeah for the WW2 veterans alive sure, they definitely risked it all and many many died for the betterment of the world but basically all the other wars we’ve been in have not been about protecting America it’s been about money

Jus? Stukas? Zeros?
That is a number few want to be proud of, and one that you should never ask a soldier.
Chris Kyle, the American Sniper who was credited with the highest confirmed kill counts always loathed hearing his kill count. He would rather prefer to count the number of lives he saved in those situations.
God Bless our troops, and those who fought for freedom and peace, anywhere and any time.
You never heard of the Reaper. Plenty do not care in the least. Believe it or not, humans are a vicious & violent animal that thrive in war.
@Arthurian sounds cool but is basically stupid. Nobody thrives in war. Some people enjoy bloodshed but it’s to their own detriment. We can see how the Middle East and Africa is “thriving” while Europe is ‘suffering’ lol
he loathed it so much that he still kept count and told the world? chris kyle is a hack with a huge ego. he still served the country, but he is not someone to look up to.
