Missile Mail

Mail. Something usually delivered via a mail truck, or an airplane... not missiles. The US military didn't think so, however. Find out more in this video! Videos are back!

How a Sleeping Air Traffic Controller Crashed a Plane
zhlédnutí 931Před rokem
Aeroflot planes have crashed because pilots have let their kids fly planes, they’ve crashed due to bets, and they’ve crashed ‘cause of drunken pilots and forged papers. This time, though, it wasn’t the pilots’ fault. The ground control operator fell asleep. When did this happen, and how did it happen? Notes • Note [1] - For a link to my previous Aeroflot videos, click here: The Two Children tha...

Notes • Note [1] - Just to clarify: the Kuomintang, KMT, ROC, Republic of China, and Taiwan are all pretty much the same thing. An older name for Taiwan is Formosa. The CCP, Chinese Communist Party, CPC, China, PRC, and the People's Republic of China are also pretty much the same thing...

The Man who Fought Nazis with Bagpipes, a Sword, and a Longbow
zhlédnutí 3,3KPřed rokem
Jack Churchill. This man fought Nazis in WWII with bagpipes under his arm, a sword on his waist, and a longbow around his neck. His motto was that "any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed." No, he wasn't related to Winston Churchill - so who was he? Notes • Note [1] - The picture of Churchill with his sword is from a training exercise; there aren't any pictures ...
The Whisky War

Canada and Denmark. Two countries that you'd expect to be relatively peaceful ‚ neither country has that large of a military, and they're both generally on good terms with each other.

All hail the Apple IIgs, the ultimate Apple computer that is not a Mac. And it’s also the reason for lawsuit #2.

I’ve been really busy lately, but I’ve just finished the script for part 3 - it should be out soon!
Spruance got hosed.
Russia excluding foreigners fro the Sea of Okhotsk through UN was defacto same Nazi activity, as was the Maidan Revolution in Ukraine, Russia is accusing others of Being Nazis while Russia is Nazi itself, now politicians want to draw everybody into wars against Nazism to protecttheir own Nazism until the World is Depopulated.
they surely didnt do that to annoy the russians they just seeked profits and fish there, they tried to enrich themselves and the russians responded with their fascism and their Rushist nazism, proofing again that eastern Europe if full with nazis that accuse each others of being Nazis.
People are stupid it has nothing todo with trolling poland and bulgaria are low wage counties you hire people from places like this because they are cheap. Why do you think people from Congo and you Ukraine work for Trident sea food in Alaska?
Thank you. That was the first time I had ever heard of this. I found this very interesting.

These iselands are so small near kaffeklubben iselands .
dude was definitely a politician
Nice and of these Eisenhower is the more familiar one because his rank is displayed on some Interstate Highway markers
Good job
the first 18 seconds are epic, and describe probably pretty well how most of the people know about Julius Caesar 😅. Nice video!
Thank you!
China's reason probably isn't to annoy Russia, but just China casually claiming what isn't theirs

Fleet Admiral is the equivalent. I've always thought Patton should have been awarded a fifth star, but his outspoken criticism of his superiors doomed that. He was the Allies' best field commander, whereas Ike was more of a political general - at which he was very good. Can you imagine having to placate FDR, Churchill, and Stalin - plus Montgomery and Patton? An almost impossible task. I think Bradley was the last living Five Star.
More details would have been appreciated, maybe increase the length of your videos?
other points scored by KaffeKlubben Island are that it has *definable land features,* such as: >a *VERY* small lake, made by melted glacier, mist, and frost ice. >some mosses, liverworts, lichens, and small flowering plants such as *arctic poppy* are able to grow on this island. >permanency; it is on solid, compact ground as part of the _Greenland Plate_ in the World's northern tectonics, and can always be located easily. Other contender "gravel banks" shift locations over time, rapidly grow/shrink based on currents depositing sediment, or are discovered to be "floating" on massive hunks of ice.
General MacArthur would’ve been promoted to a 6 star General if the invasion of Japan happened

Title should read “Only WW2 Battles Fought in NORTH AMERICA.” From 1898-1946 the Philippines was an American Territory. Japanese attacked the Philippines in 1941. Battles were fought in the Philippines in 1942 and 1944. Japanese attacked Midway Island in 1941 and 1942. Then and now Midway is US territory. Japan invaded and conquered Guam and Wake Island both of which are American soil. There were several battles on American soil in WW2.

Dude, this is more entertaining than bigger channels who have covered this -- and not many channels even have. Will definitely be subscribing and viewing more.
Thank you for the kind words! I've put a pause on new videos because I've been pretty busy lately but new videos should be back on their schedule soon.
heck, I've never seen this covered in another channel
“He wanted to drop nukes everywhere” Classic Macarthur.
i found a map and it showed the location of Oodaaq but it showed another called "Nordpol"... wtf is Nordpol?
Your life matters, the message of the Bible is that Jesus Christ, the son of God was willingly punished for the evilness of humanity. He loved you so much that He was willing to die a horrible, brutal death. He was punished instead of us. But the only way to actually be forgiven and make His sacrifice effective in your life, is by believing in Him and trusting that His sacrifice was for you. Do so, and you will have eternal life. God loves you and so do I, God bless you.
Omg he posted!

All great. My favorite is General MacArthur.
Douglas mcarthur left a lot of debts in a five star hotel here in the Philippines.
Incomplete and misleading! Where are the five star admirals? That is the exact same rank only in the Navy! You can’t discuss one without the other!

Marshall funded an effort to rebuild Europe in the aftermath of WWII with an inflation adjusted amount of $115 billion. The U.S. has spent that much on Ukraine if anyone is bothering to keep track, given the often ignored warning made by 5 star general Eisenhower about the military industrial complex.
Trueman or McArthur wanted to drop nukes everywhere??? a bit ambuguous in the ending.
Major is gold Lieutenant colonel is silver?
Imagine if Gen. McArthur, Attacks China by Nukes They will not bully the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea and ASEAN Nations.
McArthur was right about China. It's too bad we couldn't deal with them while we had the chance.
Tell us about MacArthur’s distinguished flying cross as well!
