Thank you for your service sir. Your inner thoughts can be your worst enemy sometimes. Just know people around you still need you. Don’t be afraid or ashamed to talk to someone when times are rough. You’re more than welcome to send me a message anytime friend.
That's absolutely true Everyone who served or is currently serving has gone through something that'll stay with them I thank you for your service and sacrifice for our country
But we’re still brothers. And we have so many brothers we haven’t met yet, but love us all the same. 11B of the 101st, vet here. You don’t have to be alone if you don’t want to be.
When my brother was deployed overseas as a Marine, my mom never wanted to answer the door. She dreaded having the 2 soldiers show up. He made it home though. :) Bless our troops!
@@Crunkz21 the survivors guilt in the video would hit different though, since it is genuinely his fault that and he let his squad down...not trying to be hard or whatever just saying that a lot of people that suffer from survivors guilt only feel hurt that they survived and their buddies didn't, but this situation is different, he survived and his buddies didnt because of a mistake he made
I'm german and sadly not many people here really support our troops as hard as americans support theirs. It's probeably also because of our history that people are scared of saying they like the military but I think they could support them anyways. I mean they risk their lives for us so why the hell does noone really care about them. Thats why I watch videos like these so I get at least a little feeling of anyone supporting troops. Idk if you even care about german troops but I'll post this anyway (cause my dad is deployed in Afghanistan at the moment).
I'm in support of any person that will give their life/freedoms to make sure that the next one can have more. While I will never fight for my government, I have no hesitation to fight for my country or any other country. I'm a American married to a German and I'd be more then happy to fight on your behalf or any others in need but never for a government power!
I respect you for coming out with that and I will 100% pray for your father and I do respect you. What happened in the past was not your or and current day Germans fault that's all in the past and we have to look forward to the future.💯💯🎖️🎖️
As an 8 year ongoing vet in the Army, this video hit me like a Mac truck the first time I saw it. It really does show how being deployed can impact your soul. Amazing reaction man
My daughter is a Marine and her hubby is spec force, so they are both in the sand box. My oldest daughter rappels out of helicopters into forest fires - she's a wildland firefighter. I imagine just like you, I don't get much sleep!
sportsmom165 as a Vietnam vet, I now know what is was like to be the one at home waiting. Please take care, and remember God is good and have faith. Get proper rest, eat proper, and this fellow vet is praying for you and your family.
Thank you brother. 12 year combat vet before the 2nd IED took me out... 19 men died trying to save my life after the medivac helo crashed. I get this song.
This video is a damn good reason to support and talk and respect all of us veterans .....have no idea of what we go through on a everyday basis...support your troops past and present...
PTSD and Survivors guilt are the 2 biggest things a soldier carries away from a warzone. He was suffering from both. None of us ever really came home from the war when we came home from the war, especially those of us that served in combat.
So the garage scene is what we call survivors regret. I remember on my first deployment, I lost my best friend. The only thing that comes to your mind “why did I make it and not them?” I’m a USMC vet. Yes we’re tough but behind this tough Marine in me, I’m still a human being. Don’t thank me for anything but thank my brothers and sisters who never made it back home. Those are the real heroes not me. Till this day I’ll stand for the flag and kneel for the fallen. Semper Fi
The hardest detail I ever volunteered to do especially when kids that called me Uncle openened the door with a smile followed by their mother. 1,000,000 times harder than doing our job in country!!!
This was originally done by The Offspring. It's more of a love lost type song, but FFDP turned it into this and they're huge military supporters so it works in this case too.
Civil war seems closer every day. The sad part is, if it wasn't for the lies and misinformation in the media and our politicians, we wouldn't be where we are. I watch videos/reactions like this one and I talk to people I meet. We are not that much different and we are not that divided. We are letting a tiny group of people put us on the verge of civil war.... And the media is loving every second of it. Tragedy and chaos sells.
I subscribed because of your reaction..... it's obvious, you are intelligent and compassionate ... I felt like I was watching with a friend... I'm glad I found you... Be blessed, be safe...
My husband is active duty, I'm a military wife of 10 years and work with the PX. Thank you for putting a little light on what these men and women have gone through.
From someone with 9 deployments under them... can you imagine being on point... missing something... Thanks for sharing! Respect! Please do one for Wrong Side of Heaven! It has an Important message that needs to get out as well! Thanks!
first let me thank you as a veteran,i served 14 years u.s army. second yes i took a oath to this country,but my oath was to the american people first.3rd my oath is not over i will always protect the people of this country until my last breath.and people do not get why we go into harms way so easily,we would rather fight them there than on your doorstep.and last us that served are not heroes we did what we signed up for the real heroes did not come back alive.
When the bear falls to the ground... Such a slap back to reality for what our heroes and their families go through. And I'll admit, as a vet, that's where I break down every time.
When listening to this; I flashed back to the 60's when the Vietnam war(conflict) was going on and protest songs were everywhere. Today's technology ups the game, but we're still here waiting for our brothers and sisters to come back home.
I'm a new subscriber just came across your channel. Loved your reaction. My brother is a Marine and I truly appreciate it when reactors take the time to give awareness to what they and their families go through daily. There are times when we can't talk to him for months because he's on a special mission and can't communicate with anyone. That can feel like an eternity. Thanks again I am so glad I came across this video 💚
Yes they have to go to your door and notify next of kin. I'll never forget meeting the officer and sgt that notified my best friends family. I joined luckily my family never got notified from my 6 years.
Those Black Band Bracelets are for those K.I.A... Killed In Action. Wore one...that's all I've got to say about that. This is extremely hard to watch. But thankful 🙏 that y'all are .
The whole video is hard to watch. But the garage scene is so accurate when he’s in his ptsd episode. I love that they portrayed the ptsd episode the way they did in the garage. I honestly did everything that this guy did except for push ups I would run to try and come down. And I ended up getting my gun taken away from me after a couple episodes so I can definitely relate to the scene
I think a lot of people miss that the character in the video is so torn because he was the one walking point and was supposed to be watching for IED’s but he didn’t see that one and it killed his brothers.
My friend was a medic. She done a tour when the Afghan war broke out. She still has really bad nightmares about it. She told me what she seen and it sounded like hell.
By the way, this is originally an Offspring song, about the lead singer's (Dexter) gf who passed away With that said, 5FDP did this song justice. It's like Cash doing Hurt. Amazing
Whoever disliked this do u understand what they go through so we can live free.. My heart breaks for all the soilders that make it bk and dont n their families n friends thank u for ur service men and women. No matter what u will never forgotten..😢💛💙💜💚❤💘
I'd like to ask just a couple yes or no questions about the current situation. 1st one: Are we still at war in Iraq? 2nd: Was the general we killed a known terrorist? 3rd: Was he killed in Iraq? 4th: Do you believe he had plans to harm Americans? I for one answer all of those yes... and would have pushed the fire button without hesitation.
Something in the video to point out was he was surveying for IEDs, realised he missed one at the last moment and his buddies died. Imagine that... "wait, crap, STOP!" And then boom.
Thank you for covering this. I served as an Infantryman with multiple combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. I have lost many brothers to this. If you are interested in finding out more from someone who has lived this life, and still living it, hmu on Twitter my guy. One love @wifebucks
Why does it hurt me so much as a veteran who has lost not friends but family to see people burn our flag? I’m trying to understand that as I put flowers on my fellow veterans grave on this Veterans Day if you can enlighten me to your ANTIFA thought process I’d appreciate it cause I’m kinda lost right now in this country that seems to be not mine
No bud a lot of US soldiers have families not many of us are single this is what it means to sign that blank check this is why I get so upset when I see people trying to tear themselves apart I survived four different deployments and to see the people here in the United States treat people the way they do makes me sickened
I knew two men, I had talk to, the day before. My element had gone a mission, theirs did to, On that mission one was killed, the next day another. people don't realize. What it really means to Kill or be killed, we don't do it for whatever. We don't for you, we do it for each other. So until you open that Pandora's box, most people have not earned that right!
The one who survived was the one who convinced the others to join the military so I wonder how the wives of his buds feel about him. Do they hate him thinking their husbands deaths are his fault.
React to FFDP Wrong Side of Heaven. But you must pay attention to the people in the video. It come's full circle. Remember their faces as you watch the video. Most people don't see that in their videos ~~ Wacky Mutt
Got out before 3rd ID deployed and was undeployable as well... But breaks my heart that I wasn't over there with my guys. Doesn't help that my b-day falls on Memorial Day weekend and I get to spend that time thinking about my buddies that didn't make it back home.... That said from this crusty old army vet thank you for your service.
No ww3 today nor tomorrow but its day may come. As I watch this I think of no a congresswoman talks of PTSD but really has no clue of what it actually is and to make it worse this person came from a region of oppression yet wants us to except, respect and reclaim the laws she has run from...
The garage scene I can relate to the most...Army Strong doesn't mean we are invincible
Thank you for your service sir. Your inner thoughts can be your worst enemy sometimes. Just know people around you still need you. Don’t be afraid or ashamed to talk to someone when times are rough. You’re more than welcome to send me a message anytime friend.

Thank you for everything you’ve done for our country sir. You guys get the most respect out of me 🤝
i have done the garage scene on the kitchen cabinets, doors, walls... fuk man

He made it home though. :)
Bless our troops!
Thank god he made it home 🙏🙏 Tell him I said thank you for his service.
This is exactly why I support the military, police, firefighters, and EMT
The part that gets me, "oh please let me trade, I would". 💔
Survivors guilt is one of the worst feelings you can have. It destroys a person.
@@Crunkz21 the survivors guilt in the video would hit different though, since it is genuinely his fault that and he let his squad down...not trying to be hard or whatever just saying that a lot of people that suffer from survivors guilt only feel hurt that they survived and their buddies didn't, but this situation is different, he survived and his buddies didnt because of a mistake he made
@@DJC_2003 True, true. There's for sure a difference between being the reason and just being there.
It gets me too. Every single time.
I lost my dad to an avalanche 7 years and and " please let me trade, I would" is a tattoo I got because of it
I'm german and sadly not many people here really support our troops as hard as americans support theirs.

our veterans should be taken care of for the rest of there life they give so much for us god bless everyone of them
You should also react to their video Wrong Side of Heaven. FYI--my son & nephew are currently deployed in the Middle East.
Prayers for you and your family 🙏🏽
@@Imdevantewarner Thanks. I sure the hell don't want anything to happen to them.

For any one wondering those black bands are Kia tags for squad members who were lost or friends it's not a easy thing to see those every day trust me
This video is a damn good reason to support and talk and respect all of us veterans .....have no idea of what we go through on a everyday basis...support your troops past and present...
Thank you for reacting to this. It's a powerful and emotional song for so many.
Yes it is!! I love ffdp version of it. But I still go back to the original from the offspring.

I love 5fdp's cover, they made it their own. Being a former Marine myself this hits hard.
The hardest detail I ever volunteered to do especially when kids that called me Uncle openened the door with a smile followed by their mother. 1,000,000 times harder than doing our job in country!!!
This was originally done by The Offspring. It's more of a love lost type song, but FFDP turned it into this and they're huge military supporters so it works in this case too.
We are not going into a 3rd world war we are more likely to fight a civil war if anything. I love this song and video is so information thank you.👍
Man your comment hits even harder today. I completely agree with you. It's a sad time we are living in that's for sure.

To all of the veterans thank you for your sacrifices and the veterans who didn't make it. RiP
This is a cover from a band called OFFSPRING. Try their song "Come out and play". Very underrated band.
Yes!

So much respect to you for your words 🙏
Warriors come in every colour.
You know the song'll be depressing when you hear the announcer at the beginning say "Three KIA. It has been confirmed; three KIA.":'(
Great reaction bud!
Something in the video to point out was he was surveying for IEDs, realised he missed one at the last moment and his buddies died. Imagine that... "wait, crap, STOP!" And then boom.

Will you please react to Chris Cornell's cover of Prince's nothing compares to you? It's one of my favorite covers.
May God please bless you and your efforts. Thank you

John Finnegan to make up for our mistakes or/and die doing so.
Those Kia tags 😭
Three bands ...
Is this an Offspring song also sung by FiveFingerDeathPunch or vice versa?
Try the original by the offspring
It's hard to come back
The bracelets they show are for each person Kia
We have been in Afghanistan 21 years! Wtf for? Lol idk .
No ww3 today nor tomorrow but its day may come. As I watch this I think of no a congresswoman talks of PTSD but really has no clue of what it actually is and to make it worse this person came from a region of oppression yet wants us to except, respect and reclaim the laws she has run from...
Wrong Side of Haeven, is worst!
I'm not a recruiter, but if your opinion is true why are you waiting to come on over and play big boy games?
There’s nothing funny here. Thank you for mentioning God. He is in control.
