Support the soldier, not the mission.
***** OMG YOU'RE So right ! support the soldiers not the mission ! i mean the soldiers are honourable fighters but if they're forced to murder ppl who are actually innocent ( e.g. nazi eras ) it's definitely their leader's fault. But nonetheless the soldiers are very brave people
There's no difference between a soldier and their mission. Ask one.
Felix Gonzales I agree to an extent.
Let me explain my proposition friends :) most if not all soldiers join In The first place by their love of their fatherland some drafted, others maybe for the new experience or just employment. But their job is to follow orders. The whole armed forces follow an order issued by the government which In turn isn't controlled by them. As for the Germans in ww2 a lot of them aren't even in the party most were drafted and some trying to defend their invaded homeland. While it might be bad to turn a blind eye on atrocities at least they didn't issue it. That's all
If u support the leader that means u support the cause which sometimes isn't good ( that includes killing innocent ppl )
I get why soldiers feel so alone when they come back.
you had the one comment on here that made sense ...from a former army veteran ...thank you for noticing
that Hannibal pic..
THANK YOU for having common sense!
great observation- we experienced things that most civilians never do, especially the 'elite'.
+Poopsytha Goat thank you for your service
This looks like the most awkward party ever thrown
Party is wack😂
Going home kind of sucks, not gonna lie. Everything changes but it's all the same as when you left at the same time. But being in the Army is mysterious so it makes hook ups at parties easier when you're home.
Well that’s how we feel
my uncle's on base overseas and all he does is Snapchat me videos of him eating poptarts
dude that sounds amazing hahah
jajaja! awesome.
Most active soldiers don't actually go into battle (most)
Gc P where’d you here this from?
childish green subhuman ur uncle is my spirit animal 😂😂
I went up to a soldier at an airport and without thinking i said "Thanks for everything man, you're the bomb"....
Yea... That wasn't the best choice of words
Ha
+Lucas Brown smooth, real smooth
+Lucas Brown Did he at least chuckle at that xD
PaperVisage He exploded in laughter...
What I've learn from this video. Parties are a great way to meet really dumb and insensitive people.
True.
You probably don't go out much do you... (Not assuming that because you're Asian).
.:J.M.Concept:. (Is really confused about how him being Asian could mean he doesn't go out much)
Midge57 lmfao
Celine Gurung What ling ling?
His girlfriend should know that he would want to come home and relax, not come home to a party everyone should know that.
Jasmine Haule not if it’s his first deployment when she was his girl
Also......its a video not real life
Also i think she's his sister
Pilgrim she did want him to go with the girl after all
I legit thought the beginning of the video was an ad
ItsTumisho same
Lol
ItsTumisho same
ItsTumisho same lol
Ikr
This guy is ridiculously attractive.
I believe that may be considered sexist by some.
John Miles calling him hot is sexist?
+Ari M. Feminist brah.... Feminist would say your being sexist..... better check that priviledge LOL!!!
Thomas Anderson omg, I just noticed that you weren't even in the argument. I thought you were the other guy the whole time.
So what, you just go around saying two worded insults for fun?
And you an uneducated worthless colored person. Go home, border hopper
Anyone else think he was gonna say Netflix and chill.....
What's "Netflix and chill"?
+Kc The Great it means
+Nicole Emmerson ^yeah
ya..
Netflix and Chill wasn't a big meme until after summer 2015
Clearly no one who has ever been in the military was involved with this video.
Jordan Hunt so true
Jordan Hunt that 5 dollar uniform from thrift shop, and popped collars
It's also possible that you and your "likees" have either never deployed, or had returned from combat and never had the experience of trying to talk military with (admittedly more liberal) friends and acquaintances back home.
I found this video quite surreal at some points, and know others who would feel the same.
Merced Medic, stop. you're wrong. the guy doesn't even have a nameplate or patch/emblem on his lapels. this video is so not "surreal".
Almighty Marcus TV you do realize he said surreal at some points, every service member has similar conversations going home, it's hard to connect with some people mainly due to the fact that you're steeped in a different culture 24/7. yeah everybody can cringe at the incorrect wear of the cammies but it doesn't really matter to the "surreal at some parts" it the video can speak to many service members, as well as their family and friends.
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
'Well, I'm kinda thinkin' of killin' you... Does that count?'
Even as a straight guy, I can't concentrate on the video while thinking, "This dude is unrealistically handsome."
gay
Arizona Cardinals Fan I'd say something back but i can't really argue that.
lol, hilarious.
lol, hilarious.
Lol, yes.
I was on a bus in uniform and I could hear people in the back talking about guys coming back missing arms and legs. Real subtle. Worst are the people who let you know how much they disapprove of the military or foreign policy.
I had co-workers who wanted to know what combat was like. I told them I didn't want to discuss it, but they'd insist. They seem to think it's something they want to experience. I told them it's not like a video game, people are shooting back at you trying to kill you. I forget the scars on my leg when I'm wearing shorts but then I see the stares. Even writing this I flashback to that time and the six guys who went after me to pull me back to safety.
Good luck man, I respect u
Thank you for your so much service.
thank you for you're service, respect.
+Kai223noa No person should die for money. I'm sorry that you have to kill people and watch you friends die because powerful people want oil from the middle east. I hope that in the future wars are over.
+James Sowerby imagine what it would be like if we weren't here. Good luck with Isis. Hope you turn out better than France
What most people don't know is that soldiers just want a quite home coming with the few people who actually care
As an Infantryman, I don’t feel represented whatsoever, however, thanks for the cringe buzzfeed
Daniel Kesseler ikr
“The risk of a ricochet from the round”🤪
You've never been asked if you ever killed anyone cause I was an infantryman and I've been asked so many times I lost count
That's what buzzfeed does, just cringe
@@douglasc1388 why would someone even ask you that?!😟
A video about a soldier coming home and 50% of the comments are either about the guy being hot or pointing out that his hair isn't military regulation. Im glad you guys got the point of the video :D.
Kyle Lehouiller If i may ask... How does it feel being in the military..(how is it etc.).
Kyle Lehouiller I see.Thanks for answearing my question.Greeting from Greece,Friend. :)
Kyle Lehouiller Man...that is scary..good luck i guess..I hope this world will become a better place for us and the next generations.. Fighting over things.. war.. is not something to talk about.. or think about.
Kyle Lehouiller Are you guys seriously still being sent there.... Ugh damn republicans.
Kyle Lehouiller Hey man I want to say thanks from one Military guy to another. Keep doing your job and stay safe. If you ever get deployed with a air force radio guy it might be me so keep it up and thanks for joining brother.
Lol when she finds out what netflix and pizza really means.
so true I was thinking about that
This just made my day.
Jason Boyd *takes a bow*
*wink wink nudge nudge*
Shut up bitch
When someone ask me if I ever killed anyone, I just say "Yeah, well I was a cook, so I'm pretty sure I killed a bunch of people".
Dano Armstrong they never know what you exactly do in the military, they think everyone just go and kill every one.
Oh my gosh that is funny!
“Well I just played music..”
(Me in airforce)
Civilian: you're in the air force??! Do you fly planes???
Me: Yes
Relatable
LMAO
😂😂😂😂
Lmao
plot twist, guy's a TSGT or something
I was in school once and some soldiers were doing a Q and A and people were asking things like 'Have you ever killed anyone?' 'Have you ever seen your friends die?' 'Have you ever seen dismembered body parts lying around?' it made me so mad, it's disgusting
That's so horrible...
It's cause games these days tend to glorify war. As if it's the best thing ever.
I mean as forward as the questions were and as disrespectful as some were ie. Have you seen your friends die? (
Never ask a soldier any of those questions. When most people come home, they don't wanna talk about any of the stuff they had to see.
Napoleon Bonaparte The new movie that recently came out Fury is a good one as well. But yeah, other than a handful of movies, everything else belittles the consequences of war
From personal experience, the most awkward thing a civilian can say to a soldier is "Thank you for your service." Especially when you're an E-1 not even out of TRADOC standing in an airport without even a unit patch, let alone a combat patch.
StairwaytoHeavenLZ yes!! Worse than that is when they spit at your shoes and call you a monster and youre scared shitless bc youre on youre way back to training bc of Christmas leave
StairwaytoHeavenLZ ME
Just say "thank you" and move on. Just think of them saying, "thank you for your service" as them saying that to your uniform and what that uniform represents.
StairwaytoHeavenLZ I'm sure people are just trying to be nice and thank you I mean people don't know what to look for we just say thank you to be nice
StairwaytoHeavenLZ I personally thank whoever I can (when I feel it's appropriate) because despite not necessarily being in a role of combat or anything, I consider anyone in any service position as a person who volunteered themselves towards the support of our nation. I'm unsure about others, but that's my reasoning behind the "thank you"...
Never ask someone in the military how many kills they’ve got
Definitely do not throw a party the night they get back. 🤦🏾♀️
Only if the soldier ask for it
Right!
He just want to eat a pop tart
Lol
TheHog25 lol
I like how it took someone to get drunk to say thank you
You really understand how it works
murica
Its really awkward when people say to them "thanks for fighting for our freedom"... No soldier has died for freedom since WW2.
what they should say is, "Hey, thanks for the oil."
He's not fighting for freedom, he's fighting for a paycheck. Being a soldier is a job, why should I respect them for doing their job.
True.
***** well, they certainly don't die for freedom.
Civilians these days...
***** Because im 100% sure you couldn't handle their job.
"So, whats your KDR in real life?"
Well he is still alive so...
"SUPRISE!" *Vietnam flashbacks*
Evan Hebert not something to joke about
They were in the trees man!
This video is extremely accurate with how they portray the soldier, or other soldiers coming from overseas especially from a combat zone.... Please read this whole thing to the end. The party scene where the people are sitting down and someone changes the subject while the soldier is talking, is the one of the worst feelings as a combat veteran myself. I just think to myself... they just don't understand... (My fellow service members and veterans will know what I mean).
If I find myself in a situation like that, I would only talk about my military experience if some one asks genuine questions and really want to know my story. Otherwise I try to just go with the flow with the subject change. However, when it changes, I almost blank out and everything seems to mute, and in my mind i'm still thinking about what I was just explaining..............!
War, IED's, mortars, dodging bullets, watching friends getting blown up, rockets, land mines, 20 mile rucks with 80+ lbs minimum, no sleep, no showers, starvation, bombings, suicides, death and destruction. Or it could've been a funny story that no one else will ever understand unless they've been through it. Once I get the slightest hints of uninterest. I keep my thoughts it to myself. As they have been for years.....
Very rarely do you see soldiers/marines/airman who've seen combat actually talk about it... Except the fake ones who haven't done anything AT ALL, and fake their war stories at the local bar...Or those soldiers (mostly new enlisted but some new officers and higher enlisted) who have to tell EVERY one they're in the Military. Trust me, those guys are the ones who do the least amount of work in the Military and are a bad example of military discipline and military bearing. To be fair no all
I feel I can speak for most of those Service Members who fight for Our/your freedoms.
(America and our international allied friends who we will fight to the death with).
If were so kind enough to have read this far. I'm not asking you to praise all the soldiers you see by any means and you may come across some you won't like... Nevertheless, please, there may be ONLY ONE or TWO times a soldier gets to truly share their once in a lifetime experience. Even just a small part of it.... You might get the opportunity to understand what they really went through. I will assure you that Marine, Airman, Seaman or Soldier; will never forget that moment someone listened to a big part or maybe even the most important part of their lives.
❤️
I see a bit different side of that as a wife, but it's hard to watch someone you love change so much and not be able to help what they're going through. It's definitely a difficult transition between two totally different worlds
What would be some genuine questions that we civies can ask?
(Also thanks for your service! Due to the courage that you veterans have, you all inspired me to join the Marine Corps in 2019/2020, depending on when I turn 17 or finish high school).
The part at the end when he is like they will forget him. They don't. I still remember 6 years ago meeting a soldier in D.C. and I thanked him and smiled, he smiled back I will never forget him.
I think about this all the time how soldiers feel like now one understands. I think about how they feel about what they see. I truly try to understand and respect them. I think I only understand so little, but more than other people. So thank you so much and I would listen to any soldiers story for hours and respect them. Thank you for sharing your insight centersnare32. Thank you for your service. Really thankyou
I can agree completely and I haven't even finished all of my entry level training. I cannot imagine the feeling after being in combat zone or on deployment. someone whining about their rough 5 hours at work is annoying to death and I don't rate crap and I feel that way. I'm sure its even worse after deployments. Much respect sir !
One of my close friends' father is a retired veteran.
We were never close until one Fourth of July when he was in the back of their SUV covering his ears because of the fireworks while everyone else was outside looking at the fireworks.
I remember that I had grabbed him a couple of beers and climbed into the back of the car with him and handed him the beers and a blanket.
He's a very sweet yet intimidating man. And when you learn he's a veteran he's even more so.
But I asked him if he wanted to talk and he did so I just sat there and listened to him. It almost seemed like it was distracting him.
Those stories he told were devastating and it opened my eyes to how strong of a person he was, is.
But ever since that Fourth of July he's viewed me as one of his friends and I view him as one as well, and a father figure to look up to.

Dagger 323 I knew I couldn't have been the only one that thinks this is way overly exaggerated of all the stereotypes of a scenario like this
No people actually say these things. My dad is retired military, my two brothers are active, and my sister was a reservist.....the stories they tell
Jovianne Tabraham mind sharing some?
Buzzfeed employees are normal people.
RIGHT?
Mr. Naruto Chibi no. they're a different species
Most comments here like:

50% guy is hot
Willie Lee akwarneess?
@@billydasquid1201 gaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Kidding. But yea he is
"Please don't shoot my child!"
"What are you doing in my country?"
After 11 years of service, I can vouch for quite a few of these. The two I get asked the most are, "Have you ever shot anyone?" and "Have you ever been shot at?"
Are they rude in anyway? I'm just asking because I'm guilty of that too...
Come to think of it it was pretty rude of me... Of our class actually. The person in question is a teacher of mine. We civilians are total jerks without realizing it.
+Shabduli Shinde - From my experience, I haven't had anyone come off as rude. Most actually seem to be genuinely sincere.
Brandon Hall thanks :)
+Shabduli Shinde It can really hurt people tho. You dont want to talk about the fact that you murdered people
At least people aren't throwing things at them calling them horrible names and spitting at them anymore.
Not to mention this whole video is scripted
Me
I'm not a veteran but my father died in Viet Nam so I am going back a bit further than 2000, LoL. I am sorry to hear you are treated with disrespect but it doesn't compare to the way they were treated back then. Of course that doesn't justify it or anything but it was far worse back then. And of course the video is planned out and what not, there was no internet back in the Viet Nam era to showcase it.
Depends on where you're at really. Back in 2003 near Seattle we were called baby killers and murderers on a semi regular basis. Along with being beaten and rolled if caught alone in the wrong area. But once you got out if the city area people were very supportive. Though by now I think things have toned down a bit.
Tad Cooper funny you should mention Seattle... I actually live up in West Seattle haha
Well they're definitely not spitting and throwing things.
You forgot 'what are you doing in my country' and 'please don't shoot my children'
When he asked “What’s your *real life* KDR?” My jaw DROPPED 😬
I don't think my dad or anyone who just gets back from combat wants a party they just want to relax
better yet this whole video pissed me off like come on this is so true and I feel so so bad for him
ellena justin Willams I totally agree with you!! This whole video was kinda disrespectful. It's not awkward to say "thank you for your service". My father is in the military, and when he gets back he doesn't want to much company.
Jaiden Roff It is for some people
ellena justin Willams I would i wanna make the most of my life because one day I might not come back
ellena justin Willams that’s why he just wanted to watch Netflix w her
The title to this video should be, "Soldier's Awkward Girlfriend." First she doesn't give him a welcome home kiss after being away for so long and says they are making a scene when no one is around. Then throws him a party with people he doesn't even know and doesn't totally apologize for the lame party. Finally, sticks her hand in front of his face when he says to her, "All I want this weekend was to have you...touch my face all you want." Did she not miss that flirt cue? Kiss him. Hello!
I thought that was his sister.
+Loma Luv pretty sure its his sister ::D
+Loma Luv pretty sure its his sister ::D
+Lisa +Samuela Young The way he talks to her doesn't seem very sibling like if you ask me.
+Loma Luv in the beginning it's very sweet and sibling like. another sign is when she tells him to go for the cute girl who's after him. it's just two siblings who missed each other
:18 he's not even wearing the right under shirt with his ACU
MrMonchoyo he has almost nothing right at all
*TRIGGERED*
I thought I was the only one that got that dude I got triggered
This is incredibly inaccurate. I feel like these are questions only Buzzfeed employees would ask.
Its behavior from drunk derpy people that live in the Silicon Valley and surrounding Bay Area locations in California.
He says Netflix and Pizza and Chinese! All she can say is Okay?!!
This should be a top comment
Ryan Harries what u mean?

TheFandomFish AKA Lauren Lind awful acting.. I can act better
ikr
Shut
I must be the only that noticed he was wearing a got damn white shirt under his uniform. then put on the right shirt to go out lol
Maybe the actor isn't actually military.
Royal he's not. They intentionally got many things with the uniform wrong.
Damarcus White The tan T-Shirt actually goes with that uniform. The green T-Shirt goes with the new ones but he’s not wearing the new one, he’s wearing the old one
THE FACT THAT I HAD TO SCROLL THIS FAR DOWN BEFORE I SAW ANYONE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. i feel my inner drill sergeant coming out, this grind my gears.
I saw that and I was like that’s not in reg 👀
Did he just ask what his kd ratio is in real life? Wow
50potatoes gaming it's clearly has to be good because he's still alive lol
imagine he responded with 0-22
+Alejandro Menchaca
bravo👏
Alejandro Menchaca imagne he responded with 3:300
50potatoes gaming Gonna take a wild guess and say his death ratio is zero
This was beautiful. Are *all* these people actors? The soldier was an INCREDIBLE actor. His girlfriend was also extremely convincing. We need these two in *MOVIES*.
Why doesn't this video have comments about *that*.
Well now it has one... ;)
That wasn't his girlfriend that was his sister
No they're both plumbers.
ManyPerspectives I know!
As the girlfriend of a marine, it is hard for me even sometimes to cope with people asking me personal questions about his service. I can't imagine what it must be like for him to constantly be asked questions about killing and weapons and everything and constantly be treated differently. Whether you agree with war or not, you wouldn't ask a random person on the street who wasn't in uniform if he or she had ever killed someone, so please don't ask my marine. He does what he does as part of his job and as part of protecting our country.
before I watch, I'm just assuming that "please don't shoot my child", "what are you doing in my country?", and "why did you shoot my brother?" aren't in it.
People are arguing over freedom,comments,wars, etc... I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I FIND THE SOLDIER EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE!
Basically, everybody is considerate of the intended meaning of the video, and you only care about how attractive somebody is. Right?
***** No, I'm saying that you are an ignorant person, only noticing the "frosting" of the cake, not the effort that was put into it, or what it really was.
***** maybe cause U.S army job sicne WW2 was making problems between other countries
***** can you prove that i am wrong ?
He is VERY attractive.
woah woah woah woah woah, this guy is profoundly handsome
yess
Ikr
ikr😂😂
He looks like face 4 from fallout 4
I'm guessing "do you think your job is inherently immoral by aiding the destruction of countries, fuelling drug trades and creating generations of trauma-ridden men for oil companies as they continue to deny climate change?" didn't make the list
As a veteran, the only thing I really would like is someone saying "Thank you." That's all.
I'm the guy with the camo pants apologizing for wearing camo
+zsaver obviously lol but it was funny and I found it relatable to me
+zsaver but only people in the military can wear certain camp so research what camp u put on
+Alanisgamer the guy's character was funny I wasn't actually
+Jade Gallego that comment wasn't to u. I don't understand what your response is about
+Alanisgamer oh lmao you right sorry I just wok up its 5 am my bad
This turned into a good little movie
Indeed
Those people are the inappropriate ones... asking insane questions, and then flipping when they realize the truth. The Army ain’t all war and soldiers aren’t just robots, they’re people with emotions and lots of love too.
"Whats your real life KDR"
Me: Hold up...
Lol it would be KLR
Y DO SOLDIERS HAVE TO BE SO DAMN HOT?!
not all..
Because all of them have to be in top shape
Cause they have to workout a lot and be in top shape and strong even if they don't choose to.
+Destinee Baker Because we are.
+Destinee Baker IKR. I swear every soldier I've seen is so hot it hurts.
The guy is hot too lol
His voice is so sexy 🙈🙈
Right! Oh my god!
And here goes you're refill 🍻🍺🍹🍼 you seem extra thirsty .
E I E I OOOOOOOO
Those insults was unnecessary though. But okay I guess.
Every since I got out, interactions with civilians infuriate me. The stupid questions, how easily things bother them, and most of all how hateful or focused they are on such small things.
"You never seemed like an army guy- you used to buy weed from me" lmaooo
Some people are such douches. They are missing the whole point of the video. Yes, soldiers kill people. Why? To prevent someone killing them. Yes, some soldiers are trigger happy, but that is a rare minority. Soldiers are soldiers because they want to protect the innocent. They want to keep people safe. I am not a soldier, but I do know that asking a soldier if they have killed people or how many they have killed is fucked up. They don't want to talk about the fact that they had to kill someone. Why? Because they don't fucking enjoy it. War is not a video game. War is war. War is real. While I hate the fact that wars happen, I will respect the people who are brave enough to risk their lives to go and fight for what they believe to be right.
Finally, a positive comment on this video. Thanks for getting the real message!
I work as a soldier, and you sir, are correct
this is pretty accurate, some people think that soldiers go and kill random people just because, but they ignore the fact that Martial Courts exist just to prevent that...
If they want to protect the innocent then why can't they come to Kurdistan and help us out?
TMinaj Virginia because that's not soldiers decision...
Ignorance is everywhere.
So true
Not aware doesn't mean ignorant. You're jut not aware lol
The definition of ignorance is: lack of knowledge or information. So, you're not aware. Same thing :)
Olivia Hemmings well as you can see ignorance is everywhere! Even about the definition of ignorance xD
"A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool"-W.S
...or calling them all "soldiers."
thegeoffhill, That was Army camo though. I would be a bit pissed off if they called a marine, sailor, or airman a "soldier", but they didn't.
Sure. He was in the Army in the video. However, the title of the video suggests these things are only awkward to "soldiers." Just thought that was a little odd. Maybe "Servicemen/women" would be more appropriate.
I always say "Thank you for your service" to soldiers. It is really nice and I love the smile on their faces!😇😍🤞🏽
"Awkward Things ppl say to US soldiers".

Yeah what about the Vietcong

tbh Buzzfeed's headquarters and CEO is/lives in California... It's an American based company...
The soldier is hot. There. I said it.
He's not a soldier; he's an actor...
JC Aviation do u know who this actor is?
chandler jacob haynes
Elina Joy chandler jacob Haynes is the guy who did the music (according to the description), Im pretty sure it would be the guy in the cast
i was waiting for someone to say it omg :')
My boyfriend at the time (now husband ❤️) showed me this video when he got back from his first deployment and it popped up on my feed again now and he is currently on his third deployment! All he wanted to do was simply spend time with me when he got back the first time, like this guy! I’m crying right now remembering all of those good times ❤️ He did experience some of what this guy did, as do a lot of soldiers when people hear about them returning from deployment!
I don't see how thanking a military man for his service is a bad thing... soldiers are so under-appreciated. Especially ones who are old and fought in Vietnam or the Korean war. You see old guys walking around with those hats that day they're a veteran of the Vietnam war and stuff. But I doubt they ever get thanked for their service, and risking their life any more.. once soldiers come home- they are forgotten about. A lot of injured veterans are forgotten about too.
And actually, my grandfather met his wife in Japan, and I think he was helping civilians after Pearl Harbor. And my grandpa and grandma are awesome!
And it's sad that people say "WTF how can u kill?!? Killing's not right!" And I agree. Killing is a scary and devastating thing. But sadly, we can't avoid it, no matter how much we want to. If that's the last resort to protect someone, then we have to do it, and it fucking sucks.
Vietnam and Afghanistan both could have and should have been avoided
thanks mike, appreciate it. to address the video, I think they did a good job on showing how awkward it when people thank you. not that it's wrong but it just feels strange when you're still alive and feel guilty for those other soldiers (maybe your friends) that never made it home.
Hey I go up to every veteran and say thank you. Also i talk to them for like 15min. When I say goodbye I say "God bless you".
"we fight and die for these clowns?" literally what a friend of mine said after spending time in California.
This made me sad
Reminds me Ill never have someone
To Love. And Ill never get the chance to smoke out of a Zucchini
This is really well put together, great work!
Real life KDR!! If D reaches 1 then there would be a very sad party.
I think the joke was it was impossible for his K/D ratio to be anything other than infinite, as he himself hadn't died at all.
GeneralZ I don't know what to say to you.
You could say I am correct, or just forget about it.
No, i never missed your joke. I didn't even see your joke.
Its kinda sad for my and my sister because whenever we pick my brother in the airport my parents constantly talk about the marine stuff. I mean I guess it's okay but me and my sister want to spend time with our brother not just talking about his work for like 1-3 hours.
TheCookieWeirdo Next time it happens, just say "Mum, Dad, I know he's your son but he's my brother too. Now, we're going to get some ice cream and have a good time, cya" or something of the like. Just make it happen :)
Jacqui Or you are going bowling or some fun activity like that. Idk what your brother likes but I'm sure a fun night on the town would be great especially without the pressure of having to talk about his job.
Ari Hook Exactly, :)
It's the same for me, both my sisters are Marines and when they came I didn't even have time to speak to them because the rest of my family bombarded them with idiotic questions (except my mom) and so did their friends (not including the ones in service as well). It's really annoying and they don't seem to understand.
He went to serve your country have some respect and listen to him.
Omg his jaw line could cut me
Thank you for your service is only awkward when that person is drunk, it shows respect.
As a US marine, I do enjoy talking about training, and fun memories I have, but I don't find it very enjoyable when people ask about the Front lines.. I was there, I lost a buddy on the Front lines. I used to play war games, but now I don't. Once you've had to live throughout that, it gets very hard to find enjoyment in that stuff. I get very emotional when people ask how many I've killed... at 1:46 I find that very well most may not agree with me, but I find it very well disrespectful. I get people don't know what to say, but if you don't have stuff to say, then just ask about personal life over seas (or in military).
yo i got a question, why not get a peaceful job i you dont wanna be asked 21 questions by every tom dick or harry.not that you leaving the marines will make a dif to the situation in the world but,i feel as if if america just fucked off with their wmd and oil bullshit there would be no terrorist attacks or extremists.to push peacful people into submission and to push peaceful people to anger is when youve pushed too hard
Adam Ayrab so your approach is for us to pull out everywhere and come home. well in case you haven't notice since we did that in Iraq and made progress in the pull out of Afghanistan ISIS has risen to its current power. Also if we pulled out of south korea where im currently stationed then there would be nothing stopping another civil war from happening since the DMZ is only 35 miles from South Koreas Capital Seoul. That's why we haven't "just fucked off" with our "wmd and oil bullshit".
Adam Ayrab There actually were WMDs. Soldiers and Marines found thousands of chemical weapons.
Yep and planted there too.
Adam Ayrab Nope.
so accurate I came back and just wanted my girlfriend and a home cooked meal but had to go through hours of that bs
Zombie Gamer220 I'm so sorry, thank you for your service
thanks np
Zombie Gamer220 Since you are a soldier, I just wanted to know, is it bad to say "thank you for your service" to a soldier?
Its kind of awkward but better then most things people say.
Zombie Gamer220 Maybe you shouldn't volunteer to be a pawn overseas for no real reason. Pretty sure nobody's stupid enough to try to invade the United States.
I hate how accurate this is. When you finally come back home after being away for a while, you're never really back and the weird feeling you get only makes you want to go back.
This was on point it's how I feel when I'm home just can't explain it to others!
Why did the girlfriend invite that blonde girl? She was purposely trying to seduce the boyfriend (mad respect for him for ignoring her advances).
you realize this is just a movie right?
Yeah talk about an unnecessary risk!!
takaditakadang Doesn't mean I can't question their actions.
Common Example: Horror Movies. "Why the fuck would you go in the basement?"
BladexZero12 just saying that in real life that bitch would get knocked the fuck out, so your respect is a bit misplaced considering this is fiction
I don't think she was his girlfriend because I think she even said he could go after the girl because it was "his night". I think they were just really good friends up until the end of the video
When he said "or... pizza & ch..." We all thought he was gonna say something else
+Patryk Ochmanski "Chill" xD
I thought it was going to be cheese
Ohhhh :3
me toO
Whoever directed and produced this did amazing.
just the fact how this guy probably holds in on everything and probably the trama he has gone through in training. Im pretty sure he wants to scream at everyone.
I thought he was going to say Netflix and chill in the beginning.
same
Moishcan same here hahaha
Thats where Buzzfeed screwed up. It should have been included as an option with the pizza!
What is he did and saw everyone after he said chill
So true
The one that always bothered me the most is when some knob asks if you killed anyone like its some kind of badge of honor. Or they think its like a video game. Most soldiers don't enlist because they want to kill. They enlist because they feel a sense of duty to their country and want to protect it and make it better. Not because they have a hard on for death.
that, or they just don't know what to do with themselves after high school
if you're not smart enough for college, you join the military
Khalid Al-Omary Not true at all. I knew several who went to college. One of my friends for example had a degree in robotics. And every officer I served under had at least a bachelor's degree in something. In fact you can't be an officer in the Canadian military without some form of secondary education. I would imagine it's the same in the U.S as well.
Yeah, it's not like West Point is the most elite college in America... oh wait, it is.
And it's not like West Point is a military academy... oh wait, it is.
+ Khalid - Not true, I have two degrees in Engineering graduating with honors. My father and uncle both served, I felt an obligation to do the same.
I'm a Royal Canadian Airforce Cadet, and some crazy human thanked me for my service....
I love this video 💗 And also I could not stop thinking damn that man is fine 😂
His jawline is 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Reeci Pieci I wish
Airborne Tortilla ok and this is 2017 come on now
gymnast lennon gayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
70% of comments= he's so hot!!!
29% of comments= netflix and chill?
1% of comments= acual comments
Stfu.
Actual*
I guys r rakist just cuz hes africn dosnt men u cun say dat :((((((((
But he is though
+LAIthAMantis i just realized
better than most reality shows I've seen
Had this conversation ever time I came home.
I'm sorry. But Nobby says "KDR". It's simply "KD"
JOIBUS jack??
Sean Guy ?
ohh its jack
JOIBUS yeah I know
Killdeath ratio
In the Navy here. People thanking me for my service. Not awkward at all. People asking me about my political opinion on wars, the President, and all things we're not supposed to really talk about. Now THAT'S awkward.
JamMasterJB hit me with that “oh no, I’m not brave enough for politics”
I barely been in for 6 months, what I found awkward was on my first day of boot leave people thanking me for my service. Like I've never done anything. I'm also Hispanic living in cali so everyone thinks I'm a liberal 😂. rah
+john hernandez im irish l was a dancer in spain like 10 long years ago and a us navy ship pulled up and ld like to thank the navy for my and my friends sexual experiences 😂
@@danielinnicg2114 ok ok dont get it twisted, just because we are part of the navy, we are not the navy. I dont go that way 😂.
+john hernandez eh? 😂im female my names danielle thats just my name spelled in irish
I was waiting for the "thank you for your service". Makes me feel awkward everytime
It does??
Well there goes my reply
I wouldn’t even attend the party knowing that the infantry life has made me less tolerable towards idiots
There should totally be a movie like this. Is there a movie about soldiers after they come home?
+Madyson Reed There are several. The short film "Present Trauma" comes to mind. The Hurt Locker deals with it somewhat. For past wars The Best Years of Our Lives and Born on the Fourth of July are both incredible films worth watching.
Born on Fourth of July is a great movie.
Jesus, Born of the 4th? I mean it's a great movie but you've got to build to that point.
+Madyson Reed Rambo first blood
+Madyson Reed American Sniper has moments where the guy is at home and then moments where he's overseas.
One question:
How are people able to discuss about his face and hotness but not focus on the much bigger and more important issue?
+Jade Rose I don't think it's an issue
+Jade Rose You see, if the soldier guy was a hot girl and a guy where to reply to this comment with "her boobs?" the backlash would have horrible
+Steven Rivera no it would probably be twice as hillarious actually.
lol right. if this was reversed, if the soldier was a female, every single femenazi on the planet would have their panties so far up their who-hah that theyd sneeze them out.
Cuz we have eyes
The soldier and his girlfriend are incredible actors
I can relate been home for a minute, takes a lot to adjust to what I find as something new. Hard to find that balance
He's kinda cute tbh
Natalie Sanchez
yes
I agree! He's gorgeous
I wonder what his name is.
Ladies. I may not be as good looking as him but I am just as intelligent. Now the answer to your question. Check the description. Yea.
Reyna Hanna he's way more than cute
