As a Marine, you should know that after the battle the French renamed Belleau Wood to Bois de la Brigade de Marine ('Wood of the Marine Brigade'). This battle produced two of what I feel are the most memorable quotes in military history. Marine Captain Lloyd W. Williams of the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines to a French officer imploring the Marines to turn back: "Retreat? Hell, we just got here." First Sergeant Dan Daly, a recipient of two Medals of Honor who had served in the Philippines, Santo Domingo, Haiti, Peking, and Vera Cruz, prompted his men of the 73rd Machine Gun Company forward with the words: "Come on, you sons of bitches. Do you want to live forever?" Great reaction from a fellow sergeant (USAF E5) and keep rocking Sabaton.
Thanks Alan. I did enjoy this. I’ve forgotten soooo much but to be fair it has been over 20 years since serving lol. I do enjoy the refresher and the history that Sabaton and all the comments I get. Thank you!
@@SargeStreams Just kidding dude, I doubt ten people know about them renaming the woods. On the other hand, been 45 years since I was in and I still remember how to fold underwear LOL. Taught by a DI who used to scream "Your hands got to be irons!"
@@ettibbet5493 such bs that they denied it, everyone there wanted him to get it. It got blocked by Congress for reasons of image, when I guarantee you if it had gotten out that they denied a Medal of Honor the backlash would be horrific.
I showed this to my father who was/is a Marine years ago when it first came out and he showed it to all his buddies that are still in or out. They all loved it. “Semper Fi Marines!” You Devil Dogs deserve all the honor and respect from me, my family, and friends.
I think the best way to describe Joakims' voice is commending. The kind of voice that you would follow into the battlefield. I must admit that I smiled when you told the quote, knowing very well what was coming.😄 You mentioned the presence of scope and how more deadly the soldiers got to be with that instead of ironsight. With that in mind, I suggest you react to Sabatons song White Death. A song about Finlands' deadly sniper Simo Häyhä.
@@SargeStreams and he got almost all of his kills with iron sights and still getting over 500 kills is insane there's only 2 snipers from what I know that are at 500 or just below and Simo is one of them he is the deadliest sniper and he could have gotten more kills but a Russian sniper with an explosive bullet hit his face he lived the bullet but he was put into surgery which resulted in half of his face being removed and Finland gave him a farm to live on after the war I think you historians can correct me on that and he died in 2002 I believe but not exactly sure I know he lived until the early 2000s and he deserves the title deadliest sniper in history
I'm so glad you have found Sabaton and that you are going through songs that a lot of reactors don't cover. Panzerkampf was the first one I heard from my son's "collection", regarding battle between the Germans and the Soviets during WWII (the rhythm is awesome). Another that is not as commonly reviewed is called Wolfpack and it's about the U-boats of the Battle of the Atlantic. So many options and all are pretty awesome.
Very fitting tribute, I think. I was with the Royal Tank Regiment (UK Army) then eventually a crewman in the Challenger for a total of 7 years of service and 2 tours of Afghanistan. Remember when I was going through basic training My instructor at the time said to us, "If you get hit, you walk that shit off and keep fighting." 😂😂 still makes me chuckle
I KNEW you would like this song, when I heard that you were an Marine. For your next Sabaton I recommend White Death. About sniper Simo Häyhä in the Finnish interwar during WWII. To this day still the sniper with most confirmed kills ever, over 500 (probably s lot more unconfitmed) and he only used iron scopes, refused a telescope. To continue on the Finnish theme, A Soldier of 3 Armies, about Lauri Allan Törner aka Larry Thorn, from the same area as Simo fighting the invading Sovjet for the Finns, then with the Germans and ended up a Green Beret in Vietnam. There are so many good Sabston songs to chose. The guitarist of Sabaton Tommy Johansson also have a very good and successful solo channel where he covers a lot of good music of all kind of genres, turning them into metal. Amazing voice we don't hear in Sabaton, Joakim being the excellent frontdinger there. For fun Tommy amuses himself producing what he calls Disneytons. Sabaton lyrics set to Disney hit music. Anything by Tommy is gold, but a great showcase of his range is to start with She's Gone by Steelheart.
Their Carolus rex album slaps so hard. The songs in both Swedish and English are of different POVs, Swedish is their view of the event and the English is The foreigners view of it. Should check out killing grounds, Caroleans prayer,and of course Carolus Rex. Great reaction
Loved your reaction to this, and of course, thank you for your service (though I´m not an American, but a Finn) :D They have a bunch of songs about American heroes, another great one is "82nd all the way", which touches on the story of Alvin C. York.
my interpretation of "Come on you Sons of es! Do you want to live forever!?" to be if you follow him then their story will live on through time, in a way making them immortal...
I Found this funny on that Original video, "Kill Fight die thats what a SOLDIER should do" People got pissed because the term soldier is usually used for us in the Army. but as Sabaton is a Swedish band, they use the universal meaning of Soldier
Glad you wrote this in, I am a Marine, not currently serving but once a Marine... and I gotta say, I wasn't offended as I was confused why no one else was calling him on the soilder thing. Now I'm aware. Makes a lot more sense.
Just found your channel! Keep up the Sabaton reactions, if this is the beginning of listening to them you have a deep rabbit hole to discover! Greetings from Gothenburg Sweden!
Great Reaction , should also look into the Sabaton History esp on this song. staying on the WW1 kick "82nd All the Way" / "Lost Battalion" / "Soldier of Heaven" / Cliffs of Gallipoli" just to name a few
Try watching Sabaton Live in Dallas 2022. Southside Ballroom. This shows the "pre-show" short documentary about the WWI Doughboys, and how American soldiers helped end WW1. There's the quote, "Retreat Hello, we just got here.," but it's drowned out by the crowd chanting USA. About 1:40, there is the quote, "American resolve had ended the war," What a strange experience, to have the Sabaton audience cheering the end of WW1 and being proud that Americans helped. Then the film shows cheering crowds from 1918, looking into the eye of the camera, and thus right at us. It was like a quick meeting of times: of celebrating with people from 1918, and we are all proud of being American, and glad that what we did was helpful to people.
Keep the Sabaton reactions coming, from Attero Dominatus to You're in the Army Now. I would also like to hear your reaction as a veteran to Death Dealer - 22 Gone Today.
Semper Fi brother. Absolutely love this song, the one blemish it has is refering to Marines as Soldiers but I can overlook that since they captured the spirit of tbe Corps so well.
The thing about believing you are the best (unit/soldier) is very similar to what Boxer believe because if you don't believe your are the best, then you might hesitate a split second, and that can be the difference in you making it or not, you cannot start doubting or questioning yourself in that line of Work, because if you do you won't have a long Career.
I don't recall the invincible part in my training, I recall fighting like you're invincible and dying with honor but boy do I want that dying part, honorably; preferably in combat.
One thing I’m confused about is the term soldier. I know marines don’t like that term to describe them, but how do you feel about sabaton using it? One thing I think could explain them using that term is they are from Sweden so maybe they just didn’t know you don’t use ‘soldier’ for marines. Great video though!
My family's military service was navy and Marines. I went to VMI, I was a marine ROTC with an open contract for a tail hook fa18f until I went to medical where they found out I was color blind. I'm blue yellow color blind. But the military wouldn't take me.
Well Iron sight isn't to bad, Simo Häyhä is still the top sniper in the world and that was he's choice going into battle. He also goes by the name White Death and Sabaton has made a song about him.🙂
WW1 made amarica a country nobody should mess with it was a rule every nation in Europe knows and in ww2 jupan lurned it the hard way but great reaction
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the Marines don't have special forces and I'm pretty sure I know why and that's because each Marine unit is a special forces unit and they don't need even more special forces

I’m really enjoying them! I definitely plan to do more for sure. I enjoy the history lessons and the music.
A lot of reactors say that if their school had used this for lessons they would have done better (or paid more attention) in history class. 😆

M1 Garands? Those were first used in WW2. In WW1, they carried M1903 Springfields...
Thank you for your service 🫡
Thank you for your support 🫡💚
Bro if love this song you should check out The Worrier Song Hard Corps.
Hurrah
For 4 years the Germans fought the same French and British troops when the Americans joined the Germans thought they’d be easy. Then came the Marines
Inexperienced, but eager to fight and are fresh
I don't recall the invincible part in my training, I recall fighting like you're invincible and dying with honor but boy do I want that dying part, honorably; preferably in combat.
There is actually a youtube channel known as Sabaton History in which they explain the history and story behind their songs.
Thank you, it was suggested a while back…I went and checked it out…awesome stuff …like watching full on history channel.
You gotta do Unkillable Soldier
More coming soon! 🫡💚
I did not know about the origin of "leather neck". I just thought It was some slang for tough s.o.b or similar.
😀

Personally we are all soldiers (US) so it doesn’t bother me. Maybe others it does…lol

you know it doesn't make much sense that marines get the second best and the army get its it first who knows

Thanks for the kind words
@@SargeStreams your welcome and have a great day
BROTHER!
Sabaton is like being skullfucked by pure glory. (Special love for 'Devil Dogs' and 'Camouflage'. Obviously)
I love Sabaton…so glad they were recommended…I probably wouldn’t have known about them otherwise. More coming soon. Much love and Semper Fi.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the Marines don't have special forces and I'm pretty sure I know why and that's because each Marine unit is a special forces unit and they don't need even more special forces
We have force recon which is our special forces per se…every marine no matter the job however is a basic rifleman first.
@@SargeStreams thanks for correcting me I thought force recon was army I knew that was off but wasn't sure how
The Marine’s Have Marsoc/Marine Raiders special forces group equivalent to the Navy Seal and Army Green Beret.
