Hey Sam! 8year army guy here. Appreciate you giving us a shout out, I been stationed in Korea 2 years and haven’t been home for thanksgiving in that time so it’s nice to hear you show us some love. Been watching you for 3-4 years now and you’re my smite goat, hope you and Shiv have a great holiday season
Thank you for the video as always, Sam! I grew up watching your content since middle school and joined the military a year after high school with you being a constant in my life so it means a lot to hear you talk about the military like you did here. I would like to add here that you don't need to be patriotic or love our government to join. Many of my friends were in bad situations or just needed money. We are just people trying to get by and found out they would pay for college, food and lodging. If you have ever seen those videos of military asking military "Why did you join," their responses are %100 real.
For anyone that's wondering, with silverbranch and vital amplifier, Sam went from 163 Power to 282 in only the proc from Arachne's 2 and vital from Arachne's 1 healing her. That's a 119 Power or a WHOPPING 73% INCREASE. That's why Artio melted at 46:06
Thank you for the kind words about the military, I’ve been watching you way before I joined. I’m deployed to Poland right now and I just wanted to say the kind words really mean a lot.
Hey Sam, your respect for veterans and active duty personnel is heartwarming served 10 years in the USAF just separated in may, your vids have brought tears from laughter too many times to count man. Miss our time playing destiny trials, and been along this journey for so many years with you. Happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽
The reason for the drop in military respect is the fact a lot of people aren't as patriotic anymore, and find that risking their life for their country to be a dumb/pointless act. However while I agree with that, people getting mad at Veterans/Active Duty are assholes. I hate the country, not the people. To all Veterans or Active Duty military personnel who read this, you're doing good work, stay strong.
@@xrinnegan since when in the last few decades have we fought a war that was correct? They are absolutely brainwashed to fight for a government who cares not for them, and who's freedom is NOT at stake.
Been serving for 8 years and watching your content for 8 years now. Talked to you a few times while you were streaming on twitch. Love the content man 🫶🏼
Ex-military here. Had to make parachutes in South Carolina. Been watching you since like season 2? You've always been amazing and we appreciate you too. Thank you for still being amazing on Thanksgiving Sam; and for the crazy banger try hard thursday with my second main Arachne. Nemesis/Ares is still the most stars but you'd whoop me any day. Frfr. Thanks for reading if you did.
Happy Thanksgiving, Sam. I do not have the same time to keep watching your videos as when I was younger, but you sure made me a lot less lonely in those celebration dates. Be happy, you're da Dude.
Being active duty military I've been watching your videoos every year for as long as I can remember. Ever since you were the no name guy that Shing introduced me to in the 2017 or 2018 worlds I've looked forward to every video you make. I type this as you're talking about the military xD Additioanlly, people will always hate on military when we aren't in times of war...
Happy Holidays Sam. I’m a veteran of the US Army of 6 years and a 1 year deployment in the Middle East. I appreciate the kind words to all veterans, reserves, and active duty soldiers out there. I watched your vids daily on Syrian Wi-Fi (it’s ass btw) and still do. They definitely help me get through my days especially being overseas with no family to see every night. Cheers and eat well over the Holidays 🫡
that jing wei deadass plays like someone who was a loki main but was too scared to go into melee so they picked jing so they could run away and PvE all game. I wonder how many people they beat just cause the opponent cba dealing with the long slow ass grind pve harass gameplay
@kedronmallia939 they still chose to play the god in the most timid low imput way possible. You can pick cheese gods and play them differently to make it interactive. They did the opposite.
My father is an Army Ranger. He was fighting for us to have different opinions. Sorry you got some hate but your words mean a lot. Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I'm late to the vid but I'm currently in the military. Just came back from deployment and I wouldn't wish PTSD on my worst enemy💯💯. NO ONE should have to worry about walking on eggshells for the rest of they're lives. People with PTSD know exactly what I mean. Who cares what those people say Sam, you stuck up for individuals you don't even know, you have my salute 🫡
GG Sam! That Jing video was annoying, him just backing after every wave, but you kicking tormet's ass as He Bo made up for it lmao 😂 Happy thanksgiving to you and Shiv and your family, and all of your American fans. I also wish that American people cared more for your soldiers and veterans. Love from Ireland.
December 7th is when duel drops on smite 2! I'm sure of it, only because I watched a tryhard thursday video earlier and in it you said you were going to do some sort of special stream when duel drops on smite 2...
Funny how because of the veterans, that “person” has the ABILITY and FREEDOM to say she hopes they all get PTSD. Very interesting how absolutely ignorant, brainwashed and delusional some people can be.
23:54 your viewpoint is fair cause realistically we’re all victims of America’s bs even our soldiers and we have to remember they are victims too and be there for em
ok on a serious note, the people that say heinous things online while yes they suck and you should not condone evil statements like "all people of x group should suffer" the people that say that, need to be shown love because they have been raised in fear, thats the only way a belief like this forms. so even to the haters, love yall, radical love soon becomes obvious love.
Most of the veteran haters are people who are either jealous because overall they do have a level of respect that Americans as a whole give them or they have this veiw about the US military and how bad it is morally and they throw that onto the individuals that serve. Like those of us that served who have seen combat, often multiple times. Who have seen our best friends get blown to pieces to have to come home without them and look their wife and children in the eyes. Who has killed in the name of our country and come back literally and figuratively missing pieces of ourselves. You can disagree with the why all you want, but taking your personal opinion of the military out on those individuals is disgusting. And those who take it a step farther and say they deserve it or hope they off themselves are the worst human being on the planet and downright diabolical.
Hey sam, ive seen a couple people talking about the military comment thing so i figured I'd add in my 2 cents as well. I wanna start off by saying i support veterans and active soldiers alike, i do not support the american military. I feel like i might have some insight on why you got alot of hate on twitter for that. First of all, Twitter sucks and people on there are very quick to spread hate instead of just talking things out. But also alot of people nowadays (especially people in my generation) have alot of disdain for the american military and the military industrial complex as a whole because weve seen the damage we have done to other countries and the atrocities weve funded/aided over the course of history. All so we could profit off of death and destruction. So i think the reason you got alot of hate for that post (even though you were in the right, fuck anyone who wishes ptsd on anyone let alone veterans) is because people are angry and lashing out about it. I can't speak for everyone, but i at least support veterans and hate the system they work under. Its predatory to them, and it doesn't rake care of their mental and physical health after putting them through the ringer just so the government can get oil a bit cheaper. Anyways, happy Thanksgiving and to any veteran that has read this long. Thank you for your service, and im sorry our country has failed to help you after your service
madeline420 speaking the facts. you can hate american imperialism, you can hate the ungodly spending on the military. you can hate the ideology. You can even hate the meatheads. but people trashing and being shitty to the kids who join up is just so awful. maybe that kid wanted the tuition, maybe they wanted to escape a bad situation they were in, etc. their country is already treating them like trash. don't be a dick
Sam, ngl i'm kinda scared about the 48 hour stream, I kinda don't like the idea of you gaming for that long nonstop i hope i'm in the wrong in this and you will actually get some sleep (on stream) if you're actually gonna play for that long, could you at least do a poll to ask viewers what they think about this?? Just kinda scared for your health man, being that long awake fucks your brain up really bad. Love U
L take. A lot of my coworkers joined to get away from a bad life - drugs, abusive families, etc. I know quite a few immigrants who gained citizenship through joining, fleeing their home country due to civil war. The military was a chance for them to break the habit and start a fresh life. Feel free to hate the military's actions, but to hate on the pawns who dont make the decisions is extremely ignorant
I don't care if you don't agree with the US military. Don't know much about it but they probably aren't amazing. But wishing ill will on the people serving in the military who aren't even responsible for the actions taken is crazy. Wishing harm on anybody is crazy. How can people not get that?
this is coming from a guy who spent 5 years in the navy, with an honorable discharge. i got no problem with the people in the military in general, very neutral about it. but currently, the military as a whole is pretty much a scam right now with a lot less of what makes people want to join gone from what it was in former times. its deadass more of a BUSINESS rn, than a military. money as a focus, diversity for some reason as a focus, promotions are quota based rather than merit, sexism and reverse sexism is prevalent, ur gonna work for a 'boss' whos sometimes there for reasons that arent because of what they can do. u take a bunch of what people hate in an avg modern workplace, and then you deal with that in an area where you work around things that can kill you. the people, the normal people who arent deluded by the ranking system that gives them their feelings of pride, arent worth hating. but the current day military is.

Thank you for your service Soldier and happy thanksgiving.

Masters Jing Wei, you know they play like that every day.
Yeah but thats what sam was saying after he won. That's just kinda how you have to play Jing Wei
Right, not so much you can do with a character like that, she needs a new kit @@PucciBrando

Happy Thanksgiving Sam!
Happy Thanksgiving sam. I am so so very thankful for you and all your content over the years. Really man. Thank you.

I think he played like hirez intended. If not why would they give jing wei that passive. Same with Nox they make the kit annoying

Happy Thanksgiving Sam & Shiv! Solid vid, as always

Thank you Sam Happy Thanksgiving. And thank you for acknowledging us active duty members!! ❤️❤️
Thank you for your videos, Sam. And props for standing up to that entitled whale. You are a good man.

Just kinda scared for your health man, being that long awake fucks your brain up really bad. Love U
sorry that happened, but yeah I'd stay away from the political side of twitter, people are hateful especially Frogan watchers
Can you play more mages, I feel like they are more fun/explosive to watch
I respect the people who work in the military, but the shitshow of an organization that they work for deserves nothing but disdain.
I already had turkey day Sam I live in Canada
I will absolutely hate current military personnel - the things the US military has been carrying out the last few years/decades have been horrible.
