There’s some research that explains why we find this sort of thing comforting. I don’t recall exactly where I saw it, but basically the presence of a threat that surrounds you convinces your brain to “stay put” to avoid the danger. It’s the same reason we feel extra cozy in our homes when there’s a snowstorm outside, for example.
Ahh that feeling. I used to enjoy going into small mostly enclosed spaces as a kid for some reason. But this doesn't make me want to sleep. Every time there's a burst of gunfire or an explosion my brain goes wide awake and wants to know where the sound came from. Even with my eyes closed half asleeps, My mind races and won't stop until the noise ends for good

Sleeping to this is something that only few will ever understand, the sheer scare factor from mortars is enough, no man, woman or dog, deserves the pain… may god save us and bless the ones he can’t.
Combat vet here. My ptsd and night terrors are at a minimum when sleeping to this. As someone else said in the comments, it's the "stay put, keep your head down" factor that gives us peace. But also. Everyone is different. Just like some people like tomatoes, some like eating a$$. Everyone has thier own mindset. For me, this is heaven
Strange how the sounds of distant fighting could be so calming. It’s almost like a feeling of relief that “at least, it’s not happening here right now.” To think that actual people had to live through this in real life. I can’t imagine the horrors they dealt with.
Contemplated the same. I figured the sounds were comforting because it deep down, meant that people were still alive around me, somewhere. I wasn't alone in this hellscape and someone was still fighting for themselves, or for us, for the cause. It reminds me that I'm still alive. At least that's what my imagination told me when I just closed my eyes and listened to the sounds, allowing myself to get carried away. Interesting, very much so.
Now imagine watching the guy you've spent your whole deployment with getting his brains blown out right next to you and thinking to yourself "atleast it wasn't me"
Soft fire crackling, deep explosion sounds with white noise after impact, engine sounds drifting in and out, rhythmic sound of guns... this qualifies as asmr
I served two deployments over a six year stint in the USMC. one combat in 2017; im so glad my nights did not sound like this. Over the six months I spent in Syria maybe had 8 days of legit combat. IEDs and Indirect fire were more frequent. People need to understand what these folks lived through. Literal hell. Can’t imagine this being my nightly experience for years. It’s a reason I’m going to school to be a high school history teacher now. Younger generations need to know why we live in the world we do today and the sacrifices greater men than I made. Great video, not exactly calming to my ears but from what my buddies have told me, urban combat sounds light this a lot too. Lucky to not have experienced that either. Semper Fi
@@DavidTheRoss And what constitutes a real war? Warfare comes in two forms, conventional and unconventional. Which war did you fight in that would be considered real?
If we think it through war is necessary for every 50years now. Since medical advancements and population explosion, earth is suffering from carbon footprint. Hope you get it. It's sad to see , many don't understand it.
I think there might be some psychological thing behind that, because I got the same feeling and here's what maybe describes this feeling: - Maybe it's because as you "being a soldier", your unit/squad deserved a "rest" to eventually raid another time - so you can enjoy some rest while hearing this, because you know your colleagues are fighting in your place. - Maybe because it's considerably distant from where you are resting (but not so distant, considering the artillery shell that could blast in any position) but still... you're far away from the entire mess - so this gives some kind of comfort in your brain. Or for the superstitious ones, maybe our ancestors were basically fighting their entire life and we can enjoy some "battle noise" while trying to rest. Anyways, like you said... I'd sleep like a rock hearing this banger and not having a single nightmare...

I just finished reading All Quiet on the Western Front with this video playing in the background for the most of the read. By far one of the most impactful books I have ever read. I will never forget this experience.
I don’t know why but I find this relaxing in a weirdly nostalgic type of way it’s like bringing back memories as a kid playing Halo 2 hearing the distant gun fire in New Mombasa, those endless hours on the empty multiplayer maps hearing background noises far in the background.. eary at the time yet nostalgic now.
Actually terrifying if you close your eyes at night and actually imagine yourself there .. away from your family, having lost your friends a couple of hours before.. cold, tired, hungry.. absolutely mad what they went through for us

And this goes on for months depending on where stationed. Anything but calming pal.
@@staypositive5718 I've never been in the military but very good friend of mine lives in an occupied territory. She talked about it and a few nights later I had a dream like in the movies where the sound is in slow motion just before the bullet wizzes by. I heard the crack of the bullet smacking something inches away and woke up so fast.
It’s one day before New Years Eve, I’m minding an old naval hotel from the mid 1800s and I’m pretending I’m in a chateau near the Somme writing a little short story. The echos of this throughout the hotel is inspiring haha
Same. I legit did too. It sucked during the dream, but when woke up and realized it was dream. A deep wave of sigh came over me and kind of wanted to cry a bit, but after some fresh air, I got over it. Now I'm here. Now a little stronger.
I suffer from depression. I have anxiety, and I'm a chronic overthinker. I listen to this while laying down in bed. I imagine myself in the trench. The only worry is to keep myself alive. After I dream of this, everything else become meaningless.
Hello there it is sad whats currently happening in your life have you perhaps looked for help? Or asked anybody for help? It may be hard to do that but having somebody can help you dragsticly...And if you ever think about self harm dont do it distact your self with fun stuff games music sleeping going out for a walk etcr. And wait for somebody you trust and tell them whats happening so they know how to help you
@uknownclient6105 Thanks for your kind words. I wanted to go to a therapist, but I'm very sceptical. The only help I get is the love of my family, which might sound enough for most, but in my head, it's not.
@@Elderath74it might sound hard and not what you want to hear but I can assure you it will get better if you want it more then anything as well. The only person who can help you is yourself. You have to realize that it’s okay to be weak and exhausted sometimes. We are human. But it isn’t okay to stay that way. If you lie down how will you get up? You have to push through the pain as hard as it is. The only other option is to live a life that’s not even deserve to be called a life. I’ve been there and this is the conclusion that I came up with. Maybe it will help you or maybe it won’t. If you wanna keep on living you have to make the best out of it because no one else can if you don’t want to. Death is easy, but permanent. There is no second chance after you die. So decide carefully what you want to do. Keep on struggling or lie down and never see light again.
@@Elderath74 Well most people are skeptical about therapist and honestly i would be too but they can still help you greatly as well they are trained in that proffesion but while your family love doesnt feel fufulling you at least know you can talk to somebody if you are feeling bad or if you dont wana talk to a therapist
@uknownclient6105 I'm grateful that I can talk to someone about my feelings. However, have you ever had the feeling that even when people listen to you, they don't understand anything you are saying to them?
Yess that’s true but another funny thing is that they also couldn’t sleep at night because of the bombs that fell because it was a tactic the Germans use to exhaust them
@@in_vas_por8810how young are you exactly? I’m excited that you’re here and trying to engage with history, but…to say something as uninformed and honestly a little bit mind-bogglingly stupid, you have to be below the age of 10. In which case- you shouldn’t be on this side of RUclips!
I hazard a guess that this is comforting to us because it narrows our potential future. It reduces the constant anxiety we face in the western world about the endless things we have to do or will do in order to get on with our lives. For a moment we are present, we are transported to a space surrounded by danger and for a brief period we feel secure in th eposition we are in and there is no possibility of getting out. Yet we are in an open space, so it is not clostrophobic. It gives rise to perhaps feelings of being out in nature and preparing for a battle in the future, but for now we are at relative peace and we can relax knowing that somoene else has got our back.
I remember my dad telling me all about his days when he was apart of the welsh guards. He's been to Germany and Canada. Said he really enjoyed his time out there. I did ask him if he ever got into any sort of combat, to which he replied with "nearly, one time". This was when he was sent out to ireland in 72 due to "the troubles". He was on patrol with his squad until he was seperated from them due to a crowd leaving one of the pubs or something like that, and a row kicked off at the end of the street where he was, and was heading towards him. He told me that if he didn't get out if there, he would've been killed. It reminds me slightly of the movie '71 (highly recommend checking it out) because the soldier in the movie was in the same predicament. Aside from that, he's been lucky to not get into any conflict. Being able to show me all of his medals he got and share the memories he made during his time.
You can't imagine WW1. It's said that when an artillery barrage started it sounded like a distant boom with the cadence of a snare drum roll. Nothing before or since has equaled the sheer firepower packed onto such a small area.
Thank you so much for this, it really reminds me of back home. I remember when I was younger and I would just hear these outside my house every other night. It’s been so long since I heard something like this. Here in the U.S can’t compete to what real deals are. This is so meaningful to me. It’s music to my ears hhhhhh. Night night everyone !
Reason we find this cozy? Evolutionarily we like enclosed environments as they kept us safe. It's the same reason why a fireplace feels so nice during snow
What I think makes this calming is the fact that your able too "finally" sleep after fighting for days with no rest, and your just faraway too hear but not too far too not hear anything, just the comfort of sleeping with chaos happening nearby, knowing your protected, but that's just my take
Wow, im listening to this with my earphones in (they're extremely good quality), and this is so relaxing for some reason. Bravo 👏 Id also like to point out you can physicslly feel the explosions, this is awesome
I played this when I was with my unit camping in our own single tents in the field for training. It felt real enough to be in an outside environment. Doing this with my earphones, it was just on another level.
Best naps I had was going on mission and rucking about 10miles and sleeping in a ditch somewhere listening to bullets and explosions miles away. Had a harder time falling asleep on a bed back home. Crazy
Bro I’ve had the same shit happen, not real combat but a mix of airsoft and a reenactment. I had walked for ages with some buddy’s and we finally found a good enough spot to stop that would also give us cover from the outher direction if things got hairy, I was done with my night watch and I was out before my head had hit, my buddies had told me afterwards that they needed to fight me for my rifle because I was holding onto it like a pillow and they didn’t want me accidentally shooting my self in my sleep (which has actually happened in the past). Because of practice I have gotten the automatic reaction to grab a gun if it’s at my sides as soon as I wake up in the choice circumstances, so when I did wake up it looked like your 70-som year old grandad had a nightmare about the trees yelling. I almost shot my friend in the face with my rifle as soon as I was up.
Same here. I knew that as long as there weren't any screams, all was peaceful. Only big interruptions were being mortared, which quickly became the most annoying shit I've ever experienced.
No its called he isnt evil. U should think those sounds mean someones flesh was ripped off and they were killed. Would u want someone to listen to this if it happened to your father, brother, best friend? Come on now have some respect @NewOrleansAquariumsandreptiles
@@Teachingcasuals oh yeah, it just baffles me that some of these comments think it is relaxing or being able to put up with makes them "cool" when reality is 100× worse that what you think.
There are parts of this that I do jump at. There are parts that are serene for me. But I tell ya what, to know that the cruelty of man is just a stone throw away nowadays really brings these sounds a little deeper then I want them to
A quick update, after trying to get rid of the ads, i sadly can't, partly RUclips's fault and the people who claimed this, i did not want this with full on ads but sadly it is, if you want to get rid of it, get either premium or an ad blocker, i tried my best, but it is what it is
this is so oddly nostalgic. when i was young my dad would always go to bed listening to history documentaries (he still does to this day, every night) and it always sounded like a warzone. one night dad was already asleep and my mom goes all right I'm going to bed and fake throws a grenade into the room and army crawls in.
Ah, yes, my favourite, PTSD inducing sleeping sounds, mixed with light raining, slowly filling up the trench. Must I say, it's guroegous. Geruouegus. Guregous. Gorgeous. There.
imagine being in war for years know no other life than fighting and dying and suddenly its over.. from a day to another... this must be fucking Strange!!!!
I came here to honour the great italian soldier Tito Calderón, he was a great soldier and a great person, loved his song ''she calls me'' and his WW2 weapons collection, may his soul rest in peace
I remember when I was in Iraq in the first months of our deployment, we would run to cover and throw your PPE on as fast and as soon as you heard IDF, even if you were sleeping you would still run to cover and gear on. After three months, while you slept and heard the rounds landing in the FOB. You would just roll over and kept on sleeping. Good times! Now i can't say certain words because they might destroy someone's ears😅
@David_brent I would never compare any time of service, as every time of war has its own perils and trauma causing events. I'm just talking about something some of us experienced.

It’s one day before New Years Eve, I’m minding an old naval hotel from the mid 1800s and I’m pretending I’m in a chateau near the Somme writing a little short story. The echos of this throughout the hotel is inspiring haha
Depending on when in the Somme you might only hear artillery for a week 😂😂😂
Very cool! I'm completely alone in a massive factory looking after it with exactly the same sounds!
lol here with you
"Here's Johnny!"
thank you for posting this, i'm from newark nj so its hard for me to drift off at night unless i hear a gun fired in anger.
Thank you for reuploading this i was looking for this video ❤
Imagine. You re a british soldier and you hear this sound in distance under your bed.
So many fireworks going off in our town that combined with this, brings me right back.
i fell asleep using this with speaker and i got into a ww1 dream💀
how was the frontlines, did you enjoy your stay?

unfortunately we lost him after 5 minutes. o7
@@Cheez-Itz_Christ so sad, it happens often...
Same. I legit did too. It sucked during the dream, but when woke up and realized it was dream. A deep wave of sigh came over me and kind of wanted to cry a bit, but after some fresh air, I got over it. Now I'm here. Now a little stronger.
forgive me for asking this but...
Which do you think are the lucky ones?
The ones who go out early? Or the one who make it out?
It’s -8C out right now. Widow open, and wrapped up in blankets. A good sleep.
I’ve fallen asleep to this for the last two nights. Best and fastest I’ve ever been to sleep
Thank you man, came back from war in 03, don’t get much sleep. Take a hit of the ganja and listen to this to ease myself into a cool nap
I am listening to this to condition myself to be able to sleep in the trenches when ww3 starts. See you on the battlefield brothers.
Bittersweet. : (
I hope I don't meet you as an enemy bro
Fuck were in a nuclear age there won’t be a war everything is dying bro….
Sharpening my shovel as we speak!
I loved the ads every 3-5 mins, really helped me relax
Brokie
Use adblock
In Chicago you don't even need the video
I live and have lived in Chicago for many years. It’s nothing close to what people try to portray it as. It’s fine
same with san francisco lol@@chrisS19019
Same thing with Milwaukee in the summer
@@chrisS19019you not from 64th
Says person who’s never been there
My grandfather can sleep perfectly with that sound🥰 thank you guys👍🏼
I used to live next to an outdoor shooting range in Georgia. This brings back wonderful memories!
true ptsd is being at war and all of sudden a ad finds you and jumpscares you
Enemy ad find you
Sleep on the floor, preferably in a puddle of dirty water for greater immersion in the experience, cold and sick hahaha
Dig a hole in your back yard and sit in it.
Make sure you keep your boots wet at all times!
@@garretthawkinsonand hide some swiss cheese in the foxhole for more strong smell realism😂
I suffer from depression. I have anxiety, and I'm a chronic overthinker. I listen to this while laying down in bed. I imagine myself in the trench. The only worry is to keep myself alive. After I dream of this, everything else become meaningless.
Hello there it is sad whats currently happening in your life have you perhaps looked for help? Or asked anybody for help? It may be hard to do that but having somebody can help you dragsticly...And if you ever think about self harm dont do it distact your self with fun stuff games music sleeping going out for a walk etcr. And wait for somebody you trust and tell them whats happening so they know how to help you
@uknownclient6105 Thanks for your kind words. I wanted to go to a therapist, but I'm very sceptical. The only help I get is the love of my family, which might sound enough for most, but in my head, it's not.
@@Elderath74it might sound hard and not what you want to hear but I can assure you it will get better if you want it more then anything as well. The only person who can help you is yourself. You have to realize that it’s okay to be weak and exhausted sometimes. We are human. But it isn’t okay to stay that way. If you lie down how will you get up? You have to push through the pain as hard as it is. The only other option is to live a life that’s not even deserve to be called a life.
I’ve been there and this is the conclusion that I came up with. Maybe it will help you or maybe it won’t.
If you wanna keep on living you have to make the best out of it because no one else can if you don’t want to.
Death is easy, but permanent. There is no second chance after you die.
So decide carefully what you want to do. Keep on struggling or lie down and never see light again.
@@Elderath74 Well most people are skeptical about therapist and honestly i would be too but they can still help you greatly as well they are trained in that proffesion but while your family love doesnt feel fufulling you at least know you can talk to somebody if you are feeling bad or if you dont wana talk to a therapist
@uknownclient6105 I'm grateful that I can talk to someone about my feelings. However, have you ever had the feeling that even when people listen to you, they don't understand anything you are saying to them?
Fun fact: WW1 soldiers would sleep during the day and stand to during the night as it was most likley for an enemy raid at night
Nice to know it, thanks
I had a couple of distant relatives fight in WW1 for 🇨🇦.
I think they should make a Call of Duty: World War 1.
Yess that’s true but another funny thing is that they also couldn’t sleep at night because of the bombs that fell because it was a tactic the Germans use to exhaust them
Imagine if the enemy had a 300iq moment and raided during the day on day 2 of the war... 😂
@@in_vas_por8810how young are you exactly? I’m excited that you’re here and trying to engage with history, but…to say something as uninformed and honestly a little bit mind-bogglingly stupid, you have to be below the age of 10. In which case- you shouldn’t be on this side of RUclips!
This is what my uncle hears whenever my little brother asks him how many terrorists he's killed, at Christmas dinner
I hazard a guess that this is comforting to us because it narrows our potential future. It reduces the constant anxiety we face in the western world about the endless things we have to do or will do in order to get on with our lives. For a moment we are present, we are transported to a space surrounded by danger and for a brief period we feel secure in th eposition we are in and there is no possibility of getting out. Yet we are in an open space, so it is not clostrophobic. It gives rise to perhaps feelings of being out in nature and preparing for a battle in the future, but for now we are at relative peace and we can relax knowing that somoene else has got our back.
This needs to be pinned.
PTSD simulator
Got a family history of PTSD unfortunately.
To ww1 vets
Don't worry lads. We'll be home by Christmas...
oh, maybe we will be home by next christmas?.....
That sent me chills.
😰
💀💀💀
Sadly the only ones that were home by Christmas were in a box
I remember my dad telling me all about his days when he was apart of the welsh guards. He's been to Germany and Canada. Said he really enjoyed his time out there. I did ask him if he ever got into any sort of combat, to which he replied with "nearly, one time". This was when he was sent out to ireland in 72 due to "the troubles". He was on patrol with his squad until he was seperated from them due to a crowd leaving one of the pubs or something like that, and a row kicked off at the end of the street where he was, and was heading towards him. He told me that if he didn't get out if there, he would've been killed. It reminds me slightly of the movie '71 (highly recommend checking it out) because the soldier in the movie was in the same predicament. Aside from that, he's been lucky to not get into any conflict. Being able to show me all of his medals he got and share the memories he made during his time.
You can't imagine WW1. It's said that when an artillery barrage started it sounded like a distant boom with the cadence of a snare drum roll. Nothing before or since has equaled the sheer firepower packed onto such a small area.
Thank you so much for this, it really reminds me of back home. I remember when I was younger and I would just hear these outside my house every other night. It’s been so long since I heard something like this. Here in the U.S can’t compete to what real deals are. This is so meaningful to me. It’s music to my ears hhhhhh. Night night everyone !
Reason we find this cozy? Evolutionarily we like enclosed environments as they kept us safe. It's the same reason why a fireplace feels so nice during snow
This is so immersive, can imagine the anxiety and horror the soldiers would’ve had to face
I came here to experience the terror those soldiers had to undergo, only to realise people are using this to fall asleep.
It’s sad to know that humanity is getting more desensitized and cruel.
Interesting how humans can go extinct because of each other's ideas instead of focusing on why we even exist in the first place.
Thanks man, this really helps me feel like I’m back in Kalamazoo when I get homesick
I fall asleep to this every night now to remind myself life could be much worse
What I think makes this calming is the fact that your able too "finally" sleep after fighting for days with no rest, and your just faraway too hear but not too far too not hear anything, just the comfort of sleeping with chaos happening nearby, knowing your protected, but that's just my take
Wow, im listening to this with my earphones in (they're extremely good quality), and this is so relaxing for some reason. Bravo 👏
Id also like to point out you can physicslly feel the explosions, this is awesome
I played this when I was with my unit camping in our own single tents in the field for training. It felt real enough to be in an outside environment. Doing this with my earphones, it was just on another level.
I play this every night, works better than melatonin! thanks for fixing my insomnia
Why is this so relaxing
Because it just is lol
It’s relaxing because it evokes feelings of safety knowing danger is miles away and not nearby
LMFAO
@@slimshaney13 Reminds me of my homeland xD
@@slimshaney13Even when it is close, I still find it relaxing.
Best naps I had was going on mission and rucking about 10miles and sleeping in a ditch somewhere listening to bullets and explosions miles away.
Had a harder time falling asleep on a bed back home.
Crazy
Thank you for your service my dude
Welcome back home 🙏.
Bro I’ve had the same shit happen, not real combat but a mix of airsoft and a reenactment. I had walked for ages with some buddy’s and we finally found a good enough spot to stop that would also give us cover from the outher direction if things got hairy, I was done with my night watch and I was out before my head had hit, my buddies had told me afterwards that they needed to fight me for my rifle because I was holding onto it like a pillow and they didn’t want me accidentally shooting my self in my sleep (which has actually happened in the past). Because of practice I have gotten the automatic reaction to grab a gun if it’s at my sides as soon as I wake up in the choice circumstances, so when I did wake up it looked like your 70-som year old grandad had a nightmare about the trees yelling. I almost shot my friend in the face with my rifle as soon as I was up.
@@cochmanofficial1581😂😂😂😂 airsoft, yeah that’s the same, you got a room full of stolen valour eh..🥴
Same here. I knew that as long as there weren't any screams, all was peaceful. Only big interruptions were being mortared, which quickly became the most annoying shit I've ever experienced.
This is horrifying, it actually makes me uneasy and feel sick, I hope all who fought have found their peace.
@NewOrleansAquariumsandreptiles how so?
No its called he isnt evil. U should think those sounds mean someones flesh was ripped off and they were killed. Would u want someone to listen to this if it happened to your father, brother, best friend? Come on now have some respect @NewOrleansAquariumsandreptiles
@@LewisLawlorhe's an average 16 year old dont listen to him
@@Teachingcasuals oh yeah, it just baffles me that some of these comments think it is relaxing or being able to put up with makes them "cool" when reality is 100× worse that what you think.
@@LewisLawlor yea but they dont care or think to care.
I can imagine how this video can help some veterans sleep better at night to relax them more. Total silence for some veterans with ptsd can be tough
Never in a million years I would have thought war was a good ASMR👌
There are parts of this that I do jump at. There are parts that are serene for me. But I tell ya what, to know that the cruelty of man is just a stone throw away nowadays really brings these sounds a little deeper then I want them to
Thank you, my father is soldier that can’t fall asleep sleep without this sounds. Your video very helps him
A quick update, after trying to get rid of the ads, i sadly can't, partly RUclips's fault and the people who claimed this, i did not want this with full on ads but sadly it is, if you want to get rid of it, get either premium or an ad blocker, i tried my best, but it is what it is
I wish the youth of the future understand the great sacrifice of our elders.
It makes me feel comfort a lot. It's a nice feel of not being at the centre of fight.
I have used this 3 times to sleep so far it's perfect
Around 7 times now
More than 20 times by now
Idk anymore 😭
Even in the trenches there was unskippable ads
It's like I'm back in the trench on a dark night, and somewhere not so far away there is a firefight between ours and the enemy.
unironically, I put this on when I’m studying or napping and it’s just great tbh
Better get use to these sounds before WW3 starts
I feel guilty but I put this on last night to sleep, I don’t remember hearing more than 2 mins before I passed out. I love it 😂
this is so oddly nostalgic. when i was young my dad would always go to bed listening to history documentaries (he still does to this day, every night) and it always sounded like a warzone. one night dad was already asleep and my mom goes all right I'm going to bed and fake throws a grenade into the room and army crawls in.
Your mom is funny.
Yeah your moms funny. Got me to chuckle.
Good night man.
Ah, yes, my favourite, PTSD inducing sleeping sounds, mixed with light raining, slowly filling up the trench. Must I say, it's
guroegous.
Geruouegus.
Guregous.
Gorgeous. There.
Why’s this actually peaceful to listen too😭
Because you never been to war 🙂
Because it the sound of “not my problem”
yeap more peaceful than nowadays
@@GEngineerAUthat, and I think there may be an instinctive response to the fact that it’s all far away, giving a feeling of being safe where you are.
@@GEngineerAUobviously nobody is going to be relaxed if this was actually happening to them in real life, shit would make you paranoid and awake
This is how the city of kyiv must have been heard in 2022. the sound of the fierce battles that were happening on the outskirts of the city
Pov : this is 10th November 1918, you don't know but tomorrow you win the war...
imagine being in war for years know no other life than fighting and dying and suddenly its over.. from a day to another... this must be fucking Strange!!!!

I came here to honour the great italian soldier Tito Calderón, he was a great soldier and a great person, loved his song ''she calls me'' and his WW2 weapons collection, may his soul rest in peace
maybe he rest in peace
Tito calderon jahajaja
tried to find a song called "she calls me" Is it "crazy she calls me" by chance?
rip
I remember when I was in Iraq in the first months of our deployment, we would run to cover and throw your PPE on as fast and as soon as you heard IDF, even if you were sleeping you would still run to cover and gear on. After three months, while you slept and heard the rounds landing in the FOB. You would just roll over and kept on sleeping. Good times! Now i can't say certain words because they might destroy someone's ears😅
IDF isn’t a thing. Maybe you meant IDE. IDFs are the Israeli defense force.
@@WizzleTeats69 *IED
@WizzleTeats69 IDF stands for indirect fire. Think mortars or artillery, it was mainly mortars in Afghanistan and Iraq
@@WizzleTeats69 dude IDF...Indirect Fire. You haven't served have you?
@David_brent I would never compare any time of service, as every time of war has its own perils and trauma causing events. I'm just talking about something some of us experienced.
Just finished a all nighter on battle field. Came here to relieve it while i sleep
Gracias que existe esto, desde hace un par de meses ya no vivo en Alajuela, me estaba costando dormir pero gracías a esto problema solucionado
This is so cooooool. I say this with respect for all the gentleman that actually experienced this first hand.
