Why? how do I know if I want to see more of your content or if what you post is interesting?
People ask me all the time if ive ever killed a person i was in Afghanistan and they get confused when i say i dont know
I get it. You shot someone, but did they die? We don't know, I getchu brother
@@hunteromsirisack40 in my case there was never less than 10ish dude shooting at the same people and sometimes they were shot by both 5.56 and 7.62 the kills went to our unit but almost never a single individual
Thank you for your service sir.
@@hunteromsirisack40No, you missed the point. Firefights involve lots of people shooting at ranges where the target may not even be seen. Who got him? Anyone's guess.
I'm assuming it was like many of the videos, where they're off in the distance, and from our perspective, we don't know what you are shooting at.
Possibly there was a lot of that, but possibly you also weren't sure, because the enemy were far enough away, that it's hard to tell anything other than people are shooting at you.
I can't imagine what it's like to have a bullet buzz by my area, or ear.
Glad you made it home safe.
As japanese, i have nothing but respect towards veteran's. Maybe we were enemies back then but we're all just humans. I love that we are in good relationship now as countries.
🇺🇸🇯🇵🇺🇸🇯🇵🇺🇸🇯🇵
We taught you the lesson that needed to be learned and now we can be friends. Love your cars, especially Nissan. I appreciate your culture of respect and you have the most beautiful women on the planet
@@MrRockitt3what “lesson” did we teach? The ones pulling the strings were old men in suits that hated each other
@@Scooter227taught them to leave our boats alone did you forget they were on Germany’s side in the war????
@@MrRockitt3lesson? There is no lesson in war other than it shouldn't happen. There is no real winner in war other than the profit of some governments
War is hell. Thank you for your service.

Greatest Generation of all time! Thank you sir
This man is a hero. God bless our Veterans
He's not a hero, he's a survivor. All the heros are dead and we must never forget them. The person who said this words was not me, but is also a ww2 survivor.
@@brunoIsmynamehero plain simple if japanese soldier not dropped he wood have killed others...what dad said when he fragged. The JERRIES on d Day
@@user-ht1xu4gv2u And if the japanese soldier hadn’t kil led him, he would have went on to ki ll others, which he definitely did because he called this his “first” ki ll.
The japanese guy was probably just an untrained conscript given that he had no ammo. At worst he probably thought he was defending his country from invaders, which he kind of was.
Not saying it wasn’t necessary, but there was nothing heroic about it, he was just defending himself and was likely conscripted too.
Lmao if you have the slightest big of knowledge in ur head you'd know that there are no heros from this war.
Just victims on both sides to dumb governments
That's all relative. Winners of wars write the history books. To the ppl that lost the war this man could be a representation of evil. Not all ppl share the same views as the American govt. Had Hitler won the war ppl would've been calling him a hero.
Thank you for your service sir.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Modern soldiers call that a solo kill, which is actually kinda rare compared to a fire team/squad all mag dumping into the same target
No they don’t

@@johnhoops3531 They truly are, I know their history of what they've endured and overcame; from the dry fields of Oklahoma & midwest, the great depression, we've been to the battle fields in Normandy, Germany, Italy & my country the Philippines, which they liberated in WWII. While I served in the U.S. ARMY, we studied & were reminded of AMERICAN (America of ALL races) heroics.❤️🇺🇲❤️ People born here in the U.S. just don't know how well off they "were," until Nixon, Clinton, Bush, Obama, and BribeDEN FOCKED THAT ALL UP.💔😪🇺🇲

We should never forget the greatest generation!
But they will be just like all of us some day sad but true.

No this is the greatest generation wait to see what happens in the last war the world don't know what they asked for this world would be like a war of the world has never seen
".. Thankyou for your service SIR".. *LES WE FORGET* these Ww2 vets are world icons on shaping the world as we know it'. PAY YOUR RESPECT'S TO THE FALLEN'.

Well. Technically still are.

And still are and those who wear no uniform and serve America as they live in the shadows.
@@sepachortels6366 He's talking about CoD
@@Ebanino. He’s talking about the draft.
This man is a treasure. My grandad was in the south pacific.
He remembered his first kill. It still bugs him. That is a gentleman... a dying breed.
He really dont seem all that bothered by it. Nor should he
@@chuckfinley4292 Just because hurt don't show on the outside don't mean it don't feel on the inside. I'm almost 3/4 of a Century old and it was a SHAME for a man to SHOW weakness of ANY kind when I was young, I suspect it was worse for his time... And I do mean ANY kind, and that kind of education, training, brainwashing whatever you want to call it don't just go away....
I agree and amen to that...
Sincere gratitude.
If he didn’t serve china would have Japanese influence? I’m starting to get depressed reading the actual reasons why EVERYONE was killing each other in the 40s
Thanks for your service During WW2 God bless you all 🙏🇺🇸🪖
Thank you for your service sir. It’s because of you and men just like you that I’m free in this country and have a beautiful family that I cherish every single day of my life. Freedom isn’t free.
Yes, freedom. Despite the mass shootings.
@@sammyhill69 are you referring to current mass shootings, as in mass school shootings? Or are you referring to the mass shootings in a war fighting against tyranny, or both?
@@sammyhill69what a person does with that freedom is up to them. Freedom is dangerous and requires the character or a moral person. Now that most people are immoral despots mayne you are right. Or we go back to teaching the children morality instead of gender fluidity.
You would be just as free without the war in vietnam and its massacres against civilians
@@sammyhill69You seem pretty quiet about the massive amounts of gang shootings. Which account for WAY more shooting deaths. Just behind self deletions. So go spread your bs on those ignorant to truth. Your words have no effect here.
Thank you good sir for all of my privileges for all of my rights for my freedom I’m am sorry for all those you have lost and I am sorry for the mockery we have made of all your sacrifices god bless you thanks again bud for everything you and your pals fought so hard for
Dad would tell me ,they stopped shooting at me ,he was a foreward observer,in Korea,1951.
My cousin had said they would shoot back until it got quiet.
He was Coast Guard in the Mekong Delta 69-70.
@@richtomlinson709013 F
@@richtomlinson7090That is so crazy omg could you imagine
@@SnobbyValleyGirlI can't imagine being fired upon but you bet your ass I'm unloading everything I have back at them.
First time someone shot at me was in Mississippi... Some grumpy farmer didn't like me exploring the woods. I guess they must have belonged to him, because there was no warning other than the near misses. He was so far off it took me a while of staring at him, and wondering what I was hearing before I realized what was happening. Executed my first and finest combat role straight into a washout ditch, and promptly conducted my first "tactical retreat". He pursued me and another teenager for a while, and we hid under some forest matting until he left the area. May have even beaten some speed records on the way out for all I know. 😅 Ironically, I was grateful later on when I deployed to Iraq, because I thought he missed me intentionally and he may have saved my life by allowing me to learn some combat awareness before my life was actually on the line (such as the sound made by passing bullets that are near vs those so close the snap loudly as they pass by).
My grand uncle was in the Navy and was involved with dropping off the marines at Okinawa, he went into the Navy at 17 years old, full head of hair, came out completely bald and hated Japanese people for the rest of his life. Never talked about the war.
Completely understandable. Respect to Uncle.
Tough Texan right there. Thank you, sir. 🙏🏼🇺🇲🙏🏼🇺🇲🙏🏼
GOOD FOR YOU 🎉HARVEY! ❤ I’m glad you made it out alive
My daddy was there!
Thanks for serving AND coming home
My dad was there too
I'm grateful to both of your fathers I hope they had awesome lives and I'm glad they came home
He really said "thats my kill" like he was playing COD or something that generation was built different man
Something about fighting the Japanese that hit different for them.
I tear up when i hear the accounts of war from this amazing generation.
well he didnt sound too sad so ur crying for him. Not all vets are boohoo i killed someone. Some of these mf will joke about the expression on their face before they took it off. Dont be fooled by movies.
Heroes were so common on that island that nobody noticed a heroic act .
They were all heroes. Japs too. Any man that can get up that morning to be apart of what went on there is a hero in my eyes
I’ll bet they really wouldn’t care for your overuse of the word “hero”-Typical of a modern day Beta male.
I respect these guys but I can’t stand everybody’s need today to try to fit the word hero into everything and everybody. It’s like you just want an excuse to use the word “hero”
There is no such thing as a hero these are not comic book characters these are men in man die in war and the only reason man die at war is for rich man better cowards because the average man to fight it's called kill or be killed no heroes in that just dead man and more land and once again no such thing as a hero that's a coward
Glad you were on the winning side of that encounter. That was definitely a determined enemy who brought a knife to a gun fight. Thank you for your service and God bless!
God bless you, American warrior.
🇺🇸💪
Don’t bring a bayonet to a gun fight.
Thank you for your service sir!!
I remember being deployed in anti insurgency raids in my country. My sidearm was still the old rock island armory M1911 (My country’s licensed M1911). I remember seeing an insurgent running across the street leading to the bridge which was where our troops kept getting fired at. He had a Xm177 or Car-15. I got him in the back and he dropped. The 1911 never failed me. Love the .45 . Philippine Army Sgt!
and then you shifted over to a career of being a roblox youtuber?

SEMPER FI MARINE !!
Of all the fighting forces, the US Marine in the Pacific has my absolute highest level of respect. Oorah, Devil Dog
the greatest generation... who quietly took their paycheck never got involved in politics and let jews take everything over.
all seriousness i dont want to take credit away from these brave souls i would be a hypocrite to do so my grandfather fought in vietnam. I just dont like whats become of my situation as a youth and i have few to blame other than my elders.
I cant imagine what went through the soldier's head to charge with a bayonet, war is desperate and there is no real winner
Kamikaze....
Either kamikaze or dishonour your family’s name forever. Japanese soldiers were drilled into their minds that to be taken prisoner was worse than death in the eyes of the emperor. Many Japanese soldiers went to war with the mindset that it was either death or eternal punishment in life and the afterlife. Pretty fucked up but insanely dedicated to the cause. They didn’t fear death, that’s what made the pacific theatre so different to any other battlefield during WWII.

There are plenty of winners in wars. Rare that it's anyone who was on the battlefields though.
@@ChickenC-vs1pp
The winners are the zios who orchestrated that and every other war in modern history.

I had an Arisaka rifle with the imperial chrysanthemum. I eventually acquired a bayonet. My brother pawned it 😢
Wat an idiot
Drugs are horrible
My grandpa(his dad was an American soldier who was killed in a Japanese camp and his mom was a local) was a child in the Philippines during WW2 and he would loot the dead Japanese when he would find one and he gave me his arisaka bayonet he found on a dead soldier
Dang...

There is an excellent song about this type of interaction. It’s a rock song called “Godspeed” by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Even if it’s not your cup of tea, worth a listen. The very human side of war.
My Dad also landed and fought on Iwo Jima. The stories he told would make the hair on my arms and neck stand up! God bless you sir! And thank you for your service! If my Dad were still alive today he would be 103 this year. He would say
“ I’m rough and tough and hard to bluff”

@@GuitarGuy057 It’s a saying. Fundamentally that’s what a Marine is.

Fundamentally, a Marine is an amphibious raider.
You're not even correct definitionally.
"noun. a person who serves in an army"
You don't call somebody in a Navy a soldier either.

God bless You. Thankful for your service to this Country I got to grow up in peace because of men like You.. Thankyou so much.
My Dad fought in Saipan,Okinawa and other bloody battles.He saw horror and witnessed many of his friends die. He lived in nightmares for the rest of his life he hated the Japanese until the day he died.They were butchers and murdered thirty million innocent people.
RIP Dad love you so much…
America dropped bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and killed millions of innocent people as well. It's the war that's bad. Not all japanese were bad people (like my great grandpa kazuyoshi 和義) but i understand your grandpa's feeling. RIP for your grandpa.
@@tomato1087the nukes didn't kill millions. On the high end, only a quarter million died in both bombings.

This is the true expert on weather the 1911 45 had stopping power
The requirement was for it to falter a charging horse.
Wait! Some Internet wiz said a while back that virtually no one ever successfully defended himself with a 1911 and they were just good for making noise. I knew a fool was giving an opinion then.
❤ love you, my BROTHER!!!
That man has never questioned his gender.
Get help. Y’all are obsessed. Also, there is plenty of lgbtq history in the military if you just stopped being a scared little snowflake and actually looked into it.
Lol😂😅
I just hope you’re not daft enough to believe that someone who does wouldn’t do the same.
Like bro there was literally trans people fighting in the civil war… why do you hate someone so much with zero bearing on your life? Why are y’all conservatives scared of literally everything that isn’t exactly like you? That applies to everything, and always has. Conservatives haven’t been on the right side of history a single time in this country. Y’all actually have the exact same mindset as the south during slavery, you just shifted your targets.
So?
These Combat Stories are Great! 💪🏻 🇺🇸 ⚔️ 🪖 👍🏻
My father was in the Pacific, but he didn't have to shoot anyone, but they did hand him a surrendered last ditch Arisaka type 99 with the chrysanthemum ground off, when his ship reached China for the occupation and getting the Japanese out of there.

I can relate. In Operation Iraqi Freedom, you shoot at enemies, and a lot of guys are shooting, at a distance, unless we are clearing houses or buildings. Anyways, how do you know it was your bullet that was the kill shot, when you got 3 other Marines shooting at the same thing. OORAH YAT-YAS
