My grandfather William was in WWII. He was a mail carrier and drove to different camp sites to deliver mail. He drove over a land mine and half his leg was shredded up. He survived. When he came back home, he went through many surgeries but insisted the doctor not to amputate his leg. My grandmother took care of him for many years until he died at the age of 74. It was rough on my grandmother who loved him dearly, we all did! He was the sweetest and strongest man I ever knew. I have his platoon picture and certificate hanging on my wall. Thank you Grandpa for fighting for our country 🇨🇦 Lest we forget 🌺
Same here, my grandfather was on Saipan during WWII and was a flight mechanic, but because of his small frame, he was pulled for tunnel rat duty...and on the day they found the underground Japanese comms post, a new gung-ho officer took point and immediately got peppered with gunfire when they entered the bunker...my grandfather was shot but survived to age 79 to pass his knowledge on to his kids and me, his grand-kid...and as long as I live, I will try to never forget what he taught me of the horrors of war and how we should never engage in it, except as an absolute last resort...and even then, there is a price to pay...in both mental and physical trauma, and also in the annals of history... Most of his service time was spent as a mechanic, but he saw the surgical tents and the wounded coming back...He would joke when I asked how bad it really was, "If the people came back in as bad a shape as the planes did, I'd be surprised that we still had an army." In hindsight, it's obvious he didn't want to talk about it seriously and risk flashing back to that time, and I respect that... My eternal gratitude to any who have put themselves in harm's way for the sake of others...and I hope and try to make sure in my own tiny way that if we are to send people to fight, they are only sent on worthy missions, and not some industrial complex or geo-political scheme...
This one blew us away 30 years ago too!!! You are one of the brightest young reviewers out there. Keep doing RUSH!!!!!!! Damn. Young fools are demonic. The hood is full of them.
Now I get it. I'm always drawn to people who have been through some shit. I know that it was your brother that the bad shit really happened to (and I'm so fucking sorry any of that happened) but as the sibling of a chronically unwell person, I understand how hard it has been for you too. The feeling of helplessness is never far away. You're angry but there's no one to be angry at. And you disappear really, because the whole family is concentrating so hard on the person who is sick that you may as well not exist. And that's just the way it has to be, so there's nothing to do but accept that. And you're losing your sibling, the person they were, so there is grief over that too. It's hard. It's really hard. Sending you love from across the pond - Jen, Scotland
My godbrother Andre was killed in Iraq in 2006. I’ve never gotten over it. Ever. War is horrific, pointless and awful. Thank you for sharing your story. RIP CPL Andre Williams. I know you died a hero but I wish you would’ve lived a coward.
My son's best friend was home on leave from Afghanistan and was killed by a drunk driver.😪😪 We never know..My husband is retired military AirForce. Great reaction.Metalica always brings it.❤️❤️❤️
I thought this was just going to be a regular reaction until you related your personal experience. I am so sorry about your brother. I lost my brother in the service and in some ways, that might have been easier than what your brother and family have been going through. I mean we still miss him every single day, but his pain is over. Peace man and thanks for such a touching reaction to this amazing song.
This song was hard for you, but thank you for sharing your story. Horrible what happened to your brother. I hope for the best possible recovery for him. God bless our soldiers.
So sorry about all your brother has been through. I thank him for his service. My heart goes out to you and him. You’re such a good guy with a big heart! I enjoy your reactions. Love to you and your family!
Thank you to your brother for his service and to you and your family ❤️ I'm so sorry sweetheart 😢 So many just do not understand the sacrifice of families that give us the freedom to do anything we set out to do!! Senseless violence against one another just blows my mind. Sending love and good vibes to you, you're brother and family 🥰
I’m so sorry to hear about what happened to your brother. It can’t be easy on you and your family. I’m forever thankful for his service to our country and I hope things get easier for you all as time passes. Much love my friend.
I was like 13 when this song came out and it didn’t really have a huge effect on me until I joined the military in 2000 and then went to war in Afghanistan and came home with mental and physical scars. This video is comprised of Metallica and scenes from the movie Johnny Got His Gun with the incomparable Jason Robards and it’s about a soldier who was blown up with a mortar and lost all of his limbs and his ability to speak. He was trapped inside his own mind.
Sorry to hear about your brother man, my dad was in the navy for 27 years, he did a tour in Vietnam, was a nasty place to be for our military, my dad said it was unforgiving
Just found your page, so I'm catching up. I hope your brother is doing better. ❤ I was 13 when this album came out and we were all shocked by it. Beautiful chaos but true. My brother was Navy and my dad was Air Force.
To echo many of the other comments, bless your brother and you. Not that I have any authority to bless anyone but it’s from the heart. I got an early retirement from the Navy for health reasons. Mostly did submarine navigation and spying on the bad guys. The “health reasons” were more mental than physical. The book Johnny Got His Gun was one of three banned for Allied troops during WW2. The other two were enemy propaganda. It was also banned for the Axis troops.
My god brother I am so sorry to hear that. I wish you and your family many blessings and love. May your Brother find the quickest way to health and please hug him for me and thank him for his service.
WOW, so sorry to hear about ur brother….sad that he went and fought for our freedom and got hurt and disrespected on his own land!!!! I thank him for his service ❤️
Listening to your story about your brother, and it's heartbreaking that he was wounded in Afghanistan just to com back to the US and be hurt even worse here by a bunch of thugs who don't care who or what they put another human being, I hope that your brother is healthy, healing and I thank him for his sacrifice so I could be safe here with my family I wish him, you and your family the best. I've seen Metallica a few times I concert over the last 38 years..and they NEVER disappoint. ❤👍💯
Thank your brother for his service and thank you and your family for the sacrifices you've made in the process of dealing with his absence and the world he came back too. Me and my family support your brother and families like yours. FYI disposable heroes is in the library of congress for its affect on our generation.
I didn’t serve but I’ve lived a life that has given me similar ptsd as soldiers because of the fact that my oldest sister died in a tragic train accident 3 months before I was born so the last 3 months my brain was being formed my mother was having nightmares every night, and then when I was born it didn’t get better, before my first Christmas my stepfather stole all my mom’s money and left us, and then my mom married my biological father who turned out to be an alcoholic abusive drunk who beat me,forced fed me and locked me in a dark room whenever I cried, and that was only the start of my ptsd
Eh man I can see your story was hard to tell, and I appreciate you for having courage to share. Much respect to you and yours and thank your brother for his service. Hello from Alberta!!
Thank you to all of us who have served, our families (including yours) who have served and have come back to a different life that we left with. The only folk who understand this song are those who have gone through it.
As a vet myself and having people close deal with trauma it is a weight you carry too. Especially your brother getting hurt, wherever it happened over there or here, because you care about him you are there with him. I feel bad for you and your brother. We are all sharing the burden because you were strong enough to open up about it. It can help.
Young man, you are mature beyond your year's! If that had happened to me, and a close family member, I don't think I'd be able to NOT throw away my future! If you know what I mean 😏..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠
Thanks for fighting through the vid for us. I could see it was tough. How small my thanks feels for your brother's service to our nation from where I sit. Injured in battle and fought through the recovery only to be jumped by some thugs and sounds like beat to within inches of his life. Well F*ck me!!! That makes me angry Sceez. You don't have to share any more details, (and thank you so much for sharing what you did), but I hope these dudes were caught and convicted of attempted murder!! Prayers for you and your whole family, lil brother 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@oksceez To me you seem like an extremely intelligent, open-minded young man who's full of life. You bring your energy to your reactions every time and it makes me forget about life for a while. I love your channel and watching this vid really made me angry that you and you're family are suffering. I'm praying that the Lord will take my anger and channel it into something positive, as well as comfort you in your time of pain. Peace and love from Upstate NY ✌🏼
Wow, bro, sorry about what happened to your brother, that is some low life shit that happened, hope he is doing ok now, much love to you and your family, great reaction ❤
I seen them perform this live in 1987 at the Cow palace in San Francisco it was the most incredible concert I’ve ever been to the energy electric .this reminds me of my youth.
The movie clips in the video were from the movie Johnny Got His Gun, based on the book of the same name by Dalton Trumbo. It’s a classic everyone should read, but it is an incredible downer. But that’s why it should be read.
Sceez man, I am so sorry to hear this about your brother. Such a sad thing that a man comes back home after the ordeals of war then some thug who probably has no care in the world who or what this man has been through does some ignorant crap like this to him. Praying for him and your family .
I feel you on the brother thing..my brother didn't serve but was in a coma..and it's weird at that time I listened to this a lot more than usual..kinda got me thru...but I distinctly remember wondering if he feels pain..or was aware at all...but..he out of pain now..RIP STUF
WTF, your brother, holy crap. How much can one guy take. I hope he can make a full recovery, or fullest possible. And damn, I hope they got the guys who did it and put them in the worst prison for life. But the way things have been going, probably not. But I have no doubt guys like that completely lacking any empathy, just a matter of time before they meet their fate. It's usually the way it goes.
This is literally the saddest song ever written... Watch johnny got his gun... That's what this song is based off of. I love your reactions, priceless. Keep up the great work. However this song will trigger trauma. Blessings sweetheart. I take it back.... Don't watch johnny got his gun... It will trigger the crap out of you.

Thank you so much!
I thank your brother for his service. My prayers go out to you and your family.
Much appreciated

Canadian contribution in the war is so overlooked. Thank you to our northern neighbors for your contribution to put an end to tyranny of the time.
@@HateTheGameTX Thank you so much!
That really means a lot! ❤️

Truly an emotional song, thanks for sharing you story, prayers to your hero brother, very heart felt!

Hoping for your brother's situation to improve. For all that he's done, it's so unfair. You're a good brother.♥️
It's deep
The movie clips in the video were from the movie Johnny Got His Gun, based on the book of the same name by Dalton Trumbo. It’s a classic everyone should read, but it is an incredible downer. But that’s why it should be read.

Im sorry your brother went through that, and yeah as someone that did beg the nurses for death you wont ever truely know what he went through.
The movie Johnny Got His Gun which this is based on is awesome and it was based on a book too
I feel you on the brother thing..my brother didn't serve but was in a coma..and it's weird at that time I listened to this a lot more than usual..kinda got me thru...but I distinctly remember wondering if he feels pain..or was aware at all...but..he out of pain now..RIP STUF

Hello from Cody Wyoming! please hear my story...I had to take my husband off life support... hard lesson learned, no one gets out alive
Yo, bro I need some of those rocknroll skies my dude 🤌😂 Subbed just for that 🤘😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
💜
This song is based on “Johnny Got His Gun” by Dalton Trumbo. Sorry about your brother.
Shout out Sceez from McKinney TX. Give a listen to "Stranglehold" from Brother Ted Nugent
Very good picking up on the point of the song right away, takes most the whole song and they still don't get it, impressive.
Please sceez Do IN YOUR HEAD BY EMINEM
There is no reason your brother should have dealt with that. From a veteran brother to another veteran brother he has support behind him.
Wow that’s sad bro what is this world coming to
This is literally the saddest song ever written... Watch johnny got his gun... That's what this song is based off of. I love your reactions, priceless. Keep up the great work. However this song will trigger trauma. Blessings sweetheart. I take it back.... Don't watch johnny got his gun... It will trigger the crap out of you.

Peace Sceez. Peace to your brother
