I joined the Navy in 1964 and while attending a school in San Diego I bunked in a Barracks with 400 Filipinos. Let me tell you these guys were fantastic. Some were actually, as kids, fighting the Japanese. One guy had a body that was a mass of scars from being captured by them. Very honorable people. Some of the best friends you could ever have or some of the worst enemies you ever encountered. Fearless in a fight. Still proud to this day to have known them and served with them.
My grandfather was in the Bataan death March. Was able to escape into the jungle after crossing a bridge. Spent the rest of the war as a guerrilla and raided Japanese supply depots. Said they would load up all the ammunition on boats and dump it in rivers.
The Bataan Death March was the forcible transfer by the Imperial Japanese Army of 75,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war (POW). The transfer began on 9 April 1942 after the three-month Battle of Bataan in the Philippines during World War II. The total distance marched from Mariveles to San Fernando and from the Capas Train Station to various camps was 65 miles (105 km). Sources also report widely differing prisoner of war casualties prior to reaching Camp O'Donnell: from 5,000 to 18,000 Filipino deaths and 500 to 650 American deaths during the march. The march was characterized by severe physical abuse and wanton killings. If an American or Filipino POW was caught on the ground or fell, he would be instantly shot. After the war, the Japanese commander, General Masaharu Homma and two of his officers, Major General Yoshitaka Kawane and Colonel Kurataro Hirano, were tried by United States military commissions for war crimes and sentenced to death on charges of failing to prevent their subordinates from committing atrocities.
I majored in History and Political Science from 1967-1971 with a heavy emphasis on American History. I had great professors and learned all of these incredible facts about our History and all the various battles plus my Dad served in WWII. When my son was was in high school I couldn’t believe how WOKE his American History book was and since my husband had majored in military history and was in ROTC and his Dad served in WWII my son grew up learning the truth of our country’s incredible History. I understand Universities are bringing back the real history of America. So many people need to understand the truths and sacrifices our nation was founded upon and I hope there will be less division in our great country. And I heartily thank every member of the military who served to protect our freedom!
I live in the USA but Great Grandmother was Filipina and after her family helped US troops, we moved much of the Clan to California. We have service men and women in the US Military for Four generations now. Philippines is no longer a US Territory but my family is now very American. 🇺🇸 🇵🇭
Thank you for their service. Growing up my Mother talked about the Philippines & its culture and her Filipino friends. My Father's grandfather was in Manila Bay in 1898 with Admiral Dewey with the US Navy, and my Dad told us about the Filipino/ American World War 2 history. I also had a neighbor as a child who was Filipino & married to an American. We learned all about the culture while visiting her home. My sister in law was Filipino and also an immigrant to CA. Her family is lovely and my brother is part of their clan 😊
Hey L3WG, am actually a Filipinos watching here in the Philippines, I Subscriber to your channel when you started to reacted to Fat Electrician channel and I was a subscriber to his channel since he was posting TikTok videos in RUclips. I really honored watching you reacting to our history when the Japanese invaded our country (side note, The colt 45 gun was actually correct, they made that gun because when the U.S invaded the Philippines we had a Philippine American war and when the U.S try to reach the natives Filipinos, their service pistols actually was not killing them so the U.S actually made the colt 45 just for fire power). The Bataan Death March: What I only know and heard from friends that their grand parents serve in the U.S military during WW2. After the U.S surrendered to the Japanese they march around 100 km and while marching they were not treating the Americans and Filipinos well and some say that some of the Americans and Filipinos drunk from the urine of the Japanese just to hydrate them selves. anyways big fun of watching you react to history especially Philippine History
My father was a teacher and he found out that one of his fellow teachers was the highest ranking officer that survived the Bataan Death March. He only found out at the guys retirement party because the guy never talked about it.
He's the main character with plot armor, there's no way he's gonna die. The reason they probably haven't made a movie about him is because it just seems as unbelievable as the movie Rambo.
The US took the Philippines from Spain in 1898, we were getting ready to give them their independence, I believe the paperwork was in the works and the Japanese invaded, we took the islands back to give them back the the Filipino people
Bro, check out sgt Alvin York. WW1. Really good story. . Conscientious objector who is a sharpshooter because he hunted to put food on the table.. we have many incredible Americans like these men.

My favorite is thomas baker. He didn’t do anything insane like some of these guys but his story is awesome to me. It starts off with him running ahead of his unit with a bazooka and took out a japanese unit that was firing on his. Few days later he single handedly takes out 2 more japanese units. Few weeks later his unit comes under fire and he gets wounded pretty bad early on. He refused to be evacuated and continued fighting until he ran out of ammo. While one of his men was carrying him to safety they were shot. Baker insisted that he be left behind and the rest of his men get to safety. Badass part? He just requested that he be left propped against a tree with a pistol. He was left a pistol with 8 shots remaining. When americans retook the area a few days later they found baker’s body, with the pistol now empty, and 8 dead japanese soldiers around him. Savage.
I had 2 great uncles that had to have known him. They were on Bataan when it fell and they were POWs held in Japan released in Tokyo after the surrender. I wish they were still around to ask.
I wad born in 1945 and graduated from High School in 1962. One of my classmates was born in a Japanese Prison Camp on Bataan, in1944. About 6 months before it was liberated in February, 1945.
We have the Bataan Death March here in White Sands, every March thousands of military and civilians compete in this march. There is a marathon run and a half marathon run/walk.
There is a documentary called, “The Ghosts of Bataan” from 2005. I don’t know if they covered this man’s experiences, but it does talk about the “death march”, and all about what went on there in the Philippines. It has veterans helping document the events. Might wanna check that out, Lewis. Hey from Houston, TX.
My grandfather served in the Philippines during WWII. He absolutely loved the people and the country...behind Americans he had the utmost respect for the Filipino people
There’s a fantastic book about the US Army Rangers who liberated a Japanese POW camp in the Philippines called Cabanatuan. It’s called “Ghost Soldiers” by Hampton Sides. Great book. There are so many interesting stories from WW2 that are never taught in schools. Makes you wonder why. If stories like these were told, students might actually WANT to learn about US history. We couldn’t have THAT. Too many skeletons in the closet.
The Bataan plan would have worked a lot better if not for Douglas MacArthur's silliness. If they had implemented the plan when they should have, they would have had far more resources in the peninsula. The original plan called for having 6 months worth of supplies but MacArthur was so late in implementing it, they only arrived with around a months worth and severely under armed (more under armed than they already were). Not saying the Americans would have won or anything but they probably could have held out longer.
They should make a movie of this guy - or at least make one about the Alamo Scouts, who were super elite recon guys. Then again, they were stressed not to engage enemy unless attacked. Still though, I bet they have some insane stories.
Bestway...A 3 man team of tough Marines, all sharp shooters that can put an bullet in a mans head at 1/2 mile. Yes. I know a few. In Vietnam they put on the black pajamas. That is like General Patton, since he went out in front of his men when he went to battle. Have you ever seen Bridge over the River Kwai..?
My great grandfather served in Vietnam and was discharged for wounds he received and got a purple heart for a Vietnam soldier rushing him with a bayonet stabbing him removing the bayonet then hitting him in his eye giving him a permanent squinted eye for the rest of his life but he proceeded to take the weapon from the Vietnam dude and showed him how to properly kill a man with a bayonet when he was discharged he kept the weapon and legally payed all of the fees to bring it back to America with him and had it hanging above the doorway to his house inside his garage until the day he died. America soldiers are definitely alot of the times a force to be reckoned with I don't know about other militaries but America has museums of some of the most bad ass stories in combat you could ever read especially a hall of fame in South korea for all of the medal of honor recipients during the Korean War.
We are creative, daring, and protective. Americans see ourselves in Ukrainians. We admire their creativity, their patriotism, their willingness to fight & sacrifice for their freedom, their independence of thought & action. Ukraine has proved they are NOT Russian sheep. NOT the same people AT ALL.
There are several territories that the U.S. controls that aren't states. A handful like Puerto Rico are basically psuedo-states that don't have all the same advantages but also don't have the same responsibilities as a state, most are military locations without a permanent civilian population. The Philippines was one of the former until the mid 1900s when it became independent, but it's still very heavily tied to the U.S.
If Puerto Rico or Guam or any other island barring Hawaii wanted their independence, the US would give it to them. We keep holding votes, but Puerto Rico has not voted for independence yet.
i see you have binged the "Fat Electrician" if you havent seen the story of "Old 6 6 6" you should, amazing story. i dont remember the guys name but when i was a young kid this man my uncle knew was at my uncles house, i was asked to do several tasks i came back shortly after stunned them being done and my uncle said i was just an eager beaver, this fellow said oh you too, then told me that he was part of an air crew called "Beavers something or something beavers" after seeing the story believe i have the answer, being a kid i just laughed it off like it was just another day, but that was always the case when around my uncles, there was always service men talking about war, i knew that all their friends were war heros but i didnt realize my uncles server till many years later and that had bad ass stories of their own, very much respect to those very young lads that at the ripe age of 16 lied about their age to sign up, along with anyone that signed that dotted line for Uncle Sam
Hey Lewis I don't know if you noticed the black box with all the stickers on it over this guys left shoulder. That is this guys personal gun safe. God bless the USA.
This is why true freedom of speech matters (freedom to vocalize hate included) because it's an extension to freedom of thought that translates to ability and executive decision-making ability
Filipino a did not automatically get U.S. citizenship between 1898 and independence; however every Filipino scout was awarded automatic citizenship aftervWWII.
You should watch Battle of Yultong to add up to Arthurs claim about Philippines soldiers and the Scout rangers training. Im so late but I am here. Proud citizen of a tiny, beautiful and brave heroes ..the Philippines 💯🇵🇭
Bataan death march is the japanese transferring all the POWs from bataan (south of manila) to a concentration camp in pampanga (north of manila) and they made everyone walk. To scale, it takes me an hour and a half on motorcycle to drive from tanza, cavite to manila. Cavite is also south of manila between manila and bataan.
this guy was living his own Assassin's Creed game, before it was a thing. another thing I noticed is Bataan is only 1 letter away from Batman. coincidence? I think not
knowing how Americans are when attacked is what these stories are all about. It also shows why people that want to take over America so desperately want to take away our guns. We are a tough bunch.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bataan_Death_March The march was characterized by severe physical abuse and wanton killings. If an American or Filipino POW was caught on the ground or fell, he would be instantly shot.

They wouldn’t believe it if it was in a movie.

You should watch Battle of Yultong to add up to Arthurs claim about Philippines soldiers and the Scout rangers training. Im so late but I am here. Proud citizen of a tiny, beautiful and brave heroes ..the Philippines 💯🇵🇭
Bataan death march is the japanese transferring all the POWs from bataan (south of manila) to a concentration camp in pampanga (north of manila) and they made everyone walk. To scale, it takes me an hour and a half on motorcycle to drive from tanza, cavite to manila. Cavite is also south of manila between manila and bataan.

I love how he's only credited with 116 kills, this is probably a very low estimate
It was night, the Japanese were moving under the cover of darkness.
John Wayne made a movie called Back to Bataan. Not very historically accurate, but a good movie anyway.
The Philippines became fully independent in 1946, so no, they are not a US territory anymore.
knowing how Americans are when attacked is what these stories are all about. It also shows why people that want to take over America so desperately want to take away our guns. We are a tough bunch.
Nothing is more dangerous than a wounded animal

The march was characterized by severe physical abuse and wanton killings. If an American or Filipino POW was caught on the ground or fell, he would be instantly shot.
