- Fellow Legends, welcome! Today we dive into another legendary Fat Electrician video, this time going over Operation Praying Mantis. I took Military History as an elective in High School as well as loving history in general, I absolutely missed the events of this operation and I'm incredibly glad that The Fat Electrician was able to explain it in such an informative and fun capacity. This was nothing short of a stellar video! Please remember that this is a look into events from a purely historical and apolitical stance. If you enjoyed the video as much as I did then I absolutely recommend you go and check out the original video to show some support for the source material!

Japan: We've been telling everyone for 40 years. Don't mess with their boats. Do they listen nooo." We used to be Samurai, then we touched their boats. Now we're just Magical Girls and Hentai.'
hey the worlds changing man, first Germany is rearming itselt to be the bigges European military force and now japan is doubling its military budget
this one hit hard because it's the truth
Yeah
It’s like Basically Worth It
@@theshadowthie1 Yeah, but this time, they are on the Allied side of history. So now we have the US military's logistical capabilities, German war technology, badass Japanese warriors, British SpecOps units, competent Canadian war criminals, Australians who know no fear, AND a bunch of pissed off Polish people who don't want to be railroaded again.
@@williamthehuntsmanAs a Canadian I can assure you. No one in the world want to hear us say "I'm about to not say sorry."
Remember everyone, America is just 50 war tribes in a trench coat.
And don't you forget it! 😂

those A6 pilots are legends.
The clip he put for reagan, the full thing he said was, "When someone says im from the government and im hear to help, you should be afraid"
People take that clip out of context so often. To be specific, the quote is "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help. "
@@RocRolDisThanks for reminding me of the actual statement, I just remembered what it ment
That's the irony isn't it? As he was from the government and he definitely did not help.
@@justanidiotmk2749 idk, sounds true to form to me. the point of the statement was that the government should stay out of your life, not try to fix your problems.
@@Duskraven67 shit point but we aren't here for politics.
US Navy Veteran. The Ship is your home. Everything you own on deployment is, of course, in your home. The Navy takes damage control VERY seriously. Doesn't get mentioned much, but that is one of the reasons we won at Midway.
At Midway the Japanese thought they sunk the Yorktown like 3 times.
So yall are naval Amish, basically. Able to put shit together in a damn heartbeat
@@wierdgamer3067at least enough to get to port for proper repairs
Didn't a USN
Destroyer once rebuild thir bow out of banana trees and sail over the entire pacific backwards once to get the ship into dry dock?
@@terran046that was the heavy cruiser USS New Orleans. In the battle of Tassafaronga it was hit in the forward magazine by a torpedo. This detonated the ammunition in the magazine and blew off the front most turret and the entire bow which proceeded to rip off and stab itself into the side of the ship. After the battle, the crew fixed the bow using coconut logs and sailed backwards to Australia where they revived minor repairs. They then once again sailed backwards but this time all the way across the Pacific Ocean to Bremerton Washington.
"We do bullets in mm so the enemy isnt dead and confused, that would be a war crime."

After Action Report excerpt.
DoD: I'm sorry... you did what?!
U.S. Navy: With all due respect sir, no one told us NOT to blow it up.
DoD: YES WE DID!
U.S. Navy: At the time we warned them, they fucked with us.
DoD: (Sighs) Then what happened?
U.S. Navy: They found out.

The US Military has some of the most "legally trained to be insane!!" People on earth 😂😂😂😂
"barely an inconvenience"
We weren't trained to be insane, insanity was the result of years of dealing with bureaucratic leadership.
@@ChuckLi-xh3sj only our military would flex hard enough to debo a u-boat, steal a whole train, and gangster leaned a 32,000 ton warship just to fire Volvo's further inland. As an American I'm happy knowing our military is the reason the saying "it's not a war crime the first time" exist.🤣🤣🤔🤔🤔🤔

You mentioned the quote from President Regan. It's real, but the full quote is "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
Truly horrifying words!
A perfect edit of the phrase for the circumstances. All things considered it would have been a terrifying time to be an Iranian sailor.
@@Snipergoat1 I want to know wtf the guys who opened fire on a US navy task force with an AA gun were thinking.
You're not gonna damage a destroyer with an AA gun, and you just gave them the green light to turn you into pink mist.
The “Joke” with USS Enterprise (CVN 65) is that she is the worlds first nuclear powered carrier, and she inherited the name of Enterprise from CV6.
In WW2 USS Enterprise (CV6) was the most decorated US ship, participating in nearly every major conflict. So it had several nicknames such as the “Big E” and “Grey Ghost”.
So E=mc^2 is both in reference to the “Big E” and an impressive scientific mind, which is very fitting for the first nuclear powered carrier.
Though sadly Enterprise (CV6) was scrapped after the war much to the dismay of several people in the Navy, so it never became a museum ship. However the name of Enterprise lives on both in the navy as well as being referenced in different media such as Star Trek.
Wait, of all ships they scrapped Enterprise? With all the tales around it you’d think it be a great museum piece
She's also best girl of the Eagle Union.
A lot of people wanted her to be a museum. However, there was issues in trying to gather the funds to do it. Battleship New Jersey museum (they have an active CZcams channel), put out a video explaining the process of museum ships. I may not be 100% accurate, but to summarize what I remember:
Essentially, the US museum ships were bought from the Navy to become museums, additionally they don’t provide any funding to maintain said museums. So all funding comes via a crowd funded organization or a given state. Additionally they had to prove they could meet requirements in maintaining the vessel among other things.
Ultimately this meant that if no one could meet all the requirements to get a given ship, then the ship would eventually meet the scrappers.
@@Good20win11 We can put a goddamn easy chair and still from 2 tv shows in the fuckin' Smithsonian... But we can't preserve... LITERALLY the most important piece of Equipment IN the entire goddamn WW2...
*Sigh* It's not at ALL the first time 20th Century U.S. Military has been fucked by it's own people... But It doesn't hurt any less...
There was something special about that particular photo though. All three ships were nuclear-powered: a carrier, USS Enterprise (CVN-65); a destroyer, USS Bainbridge (DLGN-25); and a cruiser, USS Long Beach (CGN-9).
12:33 Russians were just like: "Ey'! We're just here to post this beatdown on WorldStar."
That's exactly what I was thinking when I first saw the video. Now I wonder what the Russian version of WorldStar would be?
frr The thought that was stuck in my head was the sea of thieves, " we're just passin' by, we're just passin' by!"
When you realize they welded grommets and literally STITCHED THEIR SHIP UP like it was a damn teddy bear.
Every time I watch this I feel sad about the fast attack ship part. "I'm following orders" sounds like "We have no choice". It sounds like they were dead either way.
There's always a choice. Power down, raise the white flag, and they'll live happily on US tax payers' dime for the rest of their lives in the US.
Given that government they where going to the afterlife either way
@@baggiestshelf5822”we’ll give you a quick death”

Probably also worth mentioning that Samuel B. Roberts had some weight attached to her name.
For those who don't know, the first USS Samuel B. Roberts was a Destroyer Escort that was sunk in the Battle off Samar in WWII and was called "The Destroyer Escort That Fought Like A Battleship". Absolutely hopeless situation where a small landing support/submarine patrol unit wound up staring down what was left of Japan's heavy hitters sans their carriers (which still outnumbered them by nearly twice as much).
Said battle ended with the Japanese retreating north and mostly failing in their original objective of shelling the hell out of American landing forces. Samuel B. joined the three Destroyers in charging at the enemy to make torpedo runs, despite being smaller, slower, and lighter armed. She got into a slugfest with the Chikuma that left the larger ship maimed and on fire.

🇨🇦 looks on approvingly at their big bro 🇺🇸 I told you it was legit 😅
It took an entire Japanese fleet to sink the first Sammy B, what makes you think a simple *Naval Mine* would do the trick this time?
5:18 that situation sounds a bit like “oh, god how many did we lose?” “Few injuries no fatalities” [smiles in freedom]
Silkworm Missiles were land-based missiles that were developed by China and sold to just about everyone on that side of the planet who were in any way shape or form aligned with their ideals and opposed American ideals. The original range of these weapons was estimated at 50 miles but they could in fact reach targets 62 miles away as demonstrated in the Iran-Iraq War when Iran launched several of these missiles.
These missiles were launched from the Faw Peninsula and struck the Liberian tanker 'Sungari', the American tanker 'Sea Isle City', and the Kuwaiti Sea Island offshore oil terminal.
This attack also prompted Kuwait to set a MIM-23 HAWK (Homing All the Way Killer) missile system purchased from the US in the area to prevent any more such missile attacks.
Keep in mind that America is VERY protective of its ships. Praying Mantis was the result of 1 being crippled. Could you imagine if any ships of this force got sunk as a result of these Iranian-fired, Made in China, land-launched missiles?
The US never fully recovered from Pearl Harbor and if so much as the paint is chipped off an American ship...
We kinda go nuts.
@@cytorakdemon Probably because of how much taxpayer money it takes to build, paint and maintain them.
As compared to the Army or Air Force.
China developed the Silkworm missiles but did not want to be caught selling them to Iran, so instead, they gave them to North Korea as 'military aid' and then the North Koreans sold then to Iran cause they didn't care what the rest of the world thought of them anyway.
I mean…if the Samuel went down instead of managing to limp back after losing its keel, I think we wouldn’t have an Iran anymore…Praying Mantis would become operation: destroy.
Don’t fuck with Americas boats lol.
We love our boats, they're pretty boats, and they're expensive. Expensive, pretty boats. It would be a shame to sink yourself out of being a country because you attacked one of our boats. That would be very sad indeed.
TFE has a comment on why America uses millimeters for ammo:
"The ammo isn't ours, it's the bad guys. We just haven't given it to them yet. We wouldn't want them dead *and* confused."
Which video is that from?
"The missile guidance system knows where it is at all times..."
There is to be no mention of the turbo encabulator. lol
@@GreenSargent Malleable Logarithmic Casing is the ideal material for a missile though XD
Pretty much Ronald Regan was the embodiment of "Fuck around and find out"
Look, he said a proportional response. He didn't say what the proportions were.
The US Navy learned the hard way how to manage damage. The salvage divers and dry dock workers at Pearl Harbor gave detailed reports of the damage the various ships sustained that gave insight into how to build ships to manage damage. The losses of Lexington and Yorktown both contributed greatly to the information, including one 'lowly' sailor's idea to purge the fuel filling lines to the flight deck with nitrogen to prevent fumes from building up and becoming an explosion hazard when not in use. The mass of ideas and processes that came about from hard warfare changed the way ships were built and crewed. Many ships that should have sunk were saved and managed to get back to base because of the lessons learned. The Navy maintains this standard to this day, something the USS Connecticut proved when mismanagement at the senior levels resulted in the sub slamming into a seamount at high speed. The initial damage was bad enough, but a fire in the electrical room threatened the safety of the ship and it was the training and fast thinking of the crew that saved it.
7:54 The reason behind the E=MC^2 is because the USS Enterprise was the US Navy's very first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. She was launched in 1961 and was decommissioned in 2012.
And she's going to be scrapped this year... So sad.
Yeah, ask Japan about US proportionality. They sank two of our battleships in 41. We drop the sun on them twice in 45.
After we firebombed them to Nagasaki come.
Yeah advice for everyone: Don’t fuck with gas prices and don’t touch Americas boats, chipping the paint on one means you get an ass beating. Also this response was from damaging a ship, imagine how the operation would’ve gone if they actually managed to sink it with the mine….
There would be no Iran left if they sunk that ship.
Victory through overwhelming force! - the unofficial American motto
@@MonumentToSinTrue, you're not wrong.
Fat Electrician is so good. Entertaining but not too much, and he gets major facts right, a good mix of real history and entertainment.
That clip with him saying at a speech the scariest thing that a farmer or an American can hear is "I'm from the government and I'm here to help"
The fucking nuts on this Russian dude to just waltz on next to a massive navel fight with this massive warship and be just like:
"да, I am only here to the pictures друг."
That actually sounds very cold war ish for everyone not directly engaged.
i can just hear the "for five... minutes... could you just stop destroying things. *FOR FIVE MINUTES!"*
My Father was US Navy for 21 years. I was 6 years old at the time of this. He can not confirm or deny but my father was aboard a guided missile frigate during this operation and I believe he was a part of Operation Praying Mantis. I do remember when my mother (also former Navy) heard about the Samuel B Roberts hit the mine, she flipped. My dad was on leave at the time and next thing I recall I was watching him board ship at port in Pensacola. It took me decades to realize the significance of this. Fair winds and following seas Hooyah.
In one of his videos he tks about using the metric system for ammo and he says, "if America starts producing ammo in twelths, you better believe there's gonna be a lot more than fifty stars on that flag" LEGEND 🤣🤣
The Sammuel B Roberts in this instance is the third ship with the name. The first ship, an escort destroyer in ww2, gained legendary status when it was sunk while helping fend off a massive Japanese fleet in The Battle off Samar. I won’t go into what happened or we would have multiple paragraphs from me gushing about it. Would suggest looking on youtube for many good videos on said battle or wikipedia.
To paraphrase: The Sammie B was one of the Destroyers of Taffy 3 that held off the entire Japanese Navy. These tin cans armed with torpedoes and 5in guns basically stopped the Japanese Navy from steamrolling through and inflicting heavy losses upon US forces landing in the area.
This is all anyone needs to know:
The American Surface Task Force (Taffy 3) combined massed less than the single largest ship in the Japanese Fleet, you think the only battle Yamato was in were she actually got to shoot at something more than planes would be more famous, and Taffy 3's slowest ships were slower than the Japanese ships so the confrontation was inevitable.
The 3 full-size fleet destroyers turned around and proceeded to launch torpedo and gun attacks on the Japanese Fleet.
The Samuel B. Roberts was a Destroyer Escort, classified as a Corvette to the English, and decided it wanted a go at the approaching Battleships as well...
All four destroyers would sink, but succeed in keeping the Carriers they were escorting alive-
Until the first Kamakazi's of the War slammed into them and caused several of the remaining ships to sink.
*Seriously, why isn't this battle more known?!?*
I was in the TF_3 clan in WoWs for a while, 95% old geezers and 5% teenage history buffs lol
@@lordsylph414 Isn't the average age of WoWS players over the age of 60?
Ah yes - Taffy 3 - the charge of the Tin Can Navy!
That is a epic S+ class crew and damage control team
The A-6 deal reminded me of how in MMOs, people with high level pretended to be afk in lower level areas/near enemy cities to bait some poor sod into attacking and getting tagged for PvP lmao.
Also holy shit, i recently watched "Flight of the Intruder", it seems like the Navy´s A-6 pilots were just bred different.
From what i´ve read, Silkworm missiles were Chinese, who developed them from another Soviet rocket.
'Flight of the Intruder" was a good film. The novel is a lot better, of course, and worth your time to read. Attack pilots back then were arguably more skilled than their fighter pilot nemesis. The A-6A was state of the art on the front line, but was plagued by a few technical problems that were being fixed, but the classified nature of the newer computer and INS in the A-6E meant the government wasn't willing to put them in Vietnam for fear of one being shot down and examined by the Soviets.
Bombing back then was either using the radar and computer to continuously calculate a release point (CCRP), or via the old-skool way of memorizing your speed/altitude/mils bomb fall chart and dropping visually with the bomb sight. Not an easy thing when under fire.
@@chrismaverick9828DAMN GOOD BOOK 👍 💯!
Yes. Silkworm missiles come from China.
it's funny cuse i still play MMO's where i see this from time to time, watching as someone things they're the main character and starts wailing on a high level. it's funny cuse also on Non MMO games i've been seeing low levels shoot at high levels thinking their hot shit. Lo and behold, the high level doesn't take kindly to being killed, decides that bringing out the big guns is not over kill at all, and proceed to kill said person until the other person rage quits, or GTFO's as fast as they can.
Casualties don't mean dead, it means unable to perform duties. Deaths, injuries, and illness all may count as Casualties
The clip about Regan's words is from a famous speech in which he said that the scariest words are "I am from the government, and I'm here to help". His speech covered the government being the main problem to the public and that the government should be kept out of peoples' lives. It should only equip people to make their own way in life how they choose.

Iran: Eh, we can take em. Double down.

Narrator: As it would turn out, this was a significant error in judgement.
As someone that’s been in the Navy I can guarantee that the 10 injuries suffered happened during the shockwave of the explosion.
I think he answered that in an earlier video of his: there would be a lot more stars on that flag if bullets were measured in inches than millimeters.
All ammo belongs to the enemies. We just haven't given it to them yet. Thats why it's in metric.
But they are measured in inches .308, .357, .45, .50
All inches.
@@Adplusamequalsadamit’s a random mix really. Naval artillery is imperial but naval AA is metric. Tank guns are metric but often coincide with exact imperial measurements, the Sherman’s famous 76.2mm AT gun is exactly 3 inches. Land artillery is mostly metric. Small arms vary wildly and multiple weapon systems chambered in the same calibers can be referred to with either metric or imperial.
@@collinwood6573 I know it’s mixed I was just pointing out we do use inches too.
I imagine if a caliber is shared by NATO it will be metric. We all use the same ammo for a lot of things.
Not really a surprise the Samuel B Roberts was a tough ship, her namesake was known as "The destroyer that fought like a battle ship". Look up Taffy 3.
To quote the legend himself, the fat electrician said in one of his videos when it comes to why we use the metric system for our ammunition is because if we did things in twelfths when it came with the ammunition be a whole lot more than fifty stars on that flag.
Silkworm missiles were developed and manufactured by China, with some help from the Soviet Union. Iran has a bunch of these in inventory.
"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
Ronald Reagan
We actually do measure our weapons in Imperial.
Caliber is based on inches, and then all of our naval guns are 5 inch guns, 10 inch guns, etc.
I was disappointed that they got rid of the Perry class frigates, for such a small ship, they were well made, and could take a beating. The first ship I was on when I was in the US Navy was the USS Gary, FFG-51, and we used to go through some nasty seas going through parts of the western pacific and the south china sea. Those were the days....
They weren't bad ships. I think they were pretty much maxed out when they were first commissioned. There just wasn't too much upgrading you could do to them.
Fun fact, the Samuel B. Roberts was named after the famous WWII Destroyer Escort that earned the name "The Destroyer Escort that fought like a Battleship.) Going against Japans' Center Force at the Battle of Samar.
One of things I love about Fat Electrician videos, you don't get a political slant (though you will an American stance, he's a proud american), it's just history.
You don't get a political slant.
*Proceeds to show the latter half of Reagan's quote, instead of showing the whole quote, making him look bad.*
@@aztumtheknightofwumbo7060it was a joke bro 😁
@@nonautemrexchristus5637 My comment is a little old so, my bad.
The most intimidating phrase I have ever heard was " I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."
At a press conference on August 12th, 1986, US President Ronald Reagan said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
If a carrier / carrier strike group parks nearby, the question shouldn't be "why are they holding back?" The question should be "where are its friends?"
Cause a carrier and its escorts stopping short of entering a region usually means something else is prowling the region, and if you dont already where they are, good chance they already have you lit like a Christmas tree and are just waiting for a reason
Take a sip everytime kip says the phrase "____ is just built different" in any of his videos
7:55 the "joke" regarding the E=mc² is because the USS Enterprise shown in the image is the second ship to be called the Enterprise. The first being arguably the United States greatest warship of all time that fought in WW2 vs Japan
Slight correction, CV-65 was the eighth ship in the US Navy to carry the name Enterprise. The very first USS Enterprise was a British sloop that was captured in 1775.
@@Kez_DXX then was it the second US Aircraft Carrier?
@@Red_Sea_ Yeah, that's what you were thinking. And she was the first carrier to be nuclear powered, which is what Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula on the flight deck is referencing.
@@Kez_DXX ah ha. Here I thought it was just cause she was the second USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier. Thank you
No, you failed miserably.
The "joke" is to represent the nuclear powerplant.
CVN-65 USS Enterprise was the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
To answer your question about ammo being in mm is just ease of understanding between Ally’s that way there’s no confusion in joint battles.
No, the actual reason for why we do ammo in mm is cause it’s not ours, it’s theirs, we just have given it to them yet.
American ammunition isn't typically in metric either.
.38, .45, .308, .223, .44, .50, .357, .22, .17, .338, 30-30, 30-06, 45-70, so on so forth. All imperial. Plus that's just what I can recall off the top of my head in the 30 seconds I'm writing this.
yeah the Reagan clip...he was saying "the most terrifying thing you will ever hear is 'i'm from the government and i'm here to help'"
trickle down economics aside, Reagan was a bad ass
also silkworms were from china
"You touched our oil."
I just remembered something. On the Sammy b there was a bronze plaque with the names of those who were killed in the Battle off Samar. The crew were seen touching the plaque as they fought the fires and did emergency repairs. If you don’t believe me you can look it up by searching ‘crew of uss samuel b roberts touch plaque while fighting fire’. In my opinion, the crew did those men proud having managed to save their ship against all odds.
I love how the story is basically that when the US military personnel don't know what they're doing or what everyone else is doing, they just beat the absolute shit out of everything and make it look easy. It reminds me of things soldiers who fought against the US in various wars have said about how America practices chaos daily and that you can't know what it's doing because America doesn't even know what it's doing.
Those Silkworm missiles are Chinese modified Soviet cruise missiles. Also, the whole E=MC2 thing on the Enterprise is because that was the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
Kip: using the word casualty was the correct term there. casualty can reffer to injury or death for military personell. thats why casualty numbers are a so hard to interprete and there are more clear abreviations to claerly identify casualties: WIA, KIA and DOW. wounded in action, killed in action and died of wounds. yes the last two seem similar but KIA means they died directly in the field during the opperation. DOW on the other hand means the wounded person reached a medical facility and then died there to the wounds the person recieved
so a lot of people don't understand this but casualties doesn't just mean KIA by itself it count injuries as well so yes there were casualties
Love the new avatar look and this video with your commentary was just golden. Those poor office workers having to file and verify all that paperwork…
“The fraction people”. I’ve never heard that one before. As someone who is from Canada and occasionally likes to poke fun at America, I might use that at some point in the future.
The president: "I am from the government and i am here to help" in the most monotone delivery possible
y'know damn well whats gona happen now
I think America first showed the world not to mess with its bath toys in the 1940's.
Delta was out there looking for those frigates like "Bring that stern here boy!"
Loved the video @Kip Reacts! Can't wait for the next video man! I remember seeing The Operations Room's video on Operation Praying Mantis a while back, great breakdown and Detail as they usually do in all of their videos.
The Full clip of Ronald Reagan was "The Main thing American's should really Fear is someone coming up to them and Saying 'I'm From the Government and I'm here to help.'"
As for the Picture of CVN-65 Enterprise, The E=mc² is a Reference to her being the First Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carrier in the U.S. Navy, coming into service in 1965 around the Start of Vietnam. Her Very First Captain served aboard the Yorktown-class USS Enterprise (CV-6; CV(N)-6 after getting New Radar Sets both for herself and her Grumman TBF-1C Avenger Multirole Torpedo Bombers in 1943) from the Second World War and he would go on to Found the Enterprise Golf Course. While Trump was in Office, he had CVN-65 Enterprise placed in a Brick Warehouse so that one the Radiation from her 8 Nuclear Reactors had died down to acceptable Background Levels she could be made into a Museum Ship. Then work on the Newer Gerald R. Ford-class USS Enterprise (CVN-80) starts up and so Trump has to allow for the Deckplates from CVN-65 Enterprise in order to rush the Construction of CVN-80 Enterprise. Then Biden and Kamala get into Washington in 2020 and just orders CVN-65 Enterprise to be Scrapped.
Anyone from Azur Lane's Community here? *OWARI DA!*
3:25 The name Samuel B. Roberts is legendary since World War 2. The ship can't sink out of plot armor alone.
When the Enterprise comes and parks on your proverbial doorstep, you KNOW you are about to have a BAD TIME.
"Except for our bullets, we measure those in millimeters."
*Caliber,* my friend.
The one takeaway from this video for foreigners should be: *Do not fuck with America's boats. We really like our boats.*
They didn’t even sink this boat. Just damaged it and this was the retaliation. Imagine what would’ve happened has that boat SANK entirely?
@@chazo1367Remember, the atomic bombs dropped in Japan are a far cry from what we use now. We literally have enought power to delete an entire country off the map ten times over.

Part of the crew part of the ship. Part of the crew part of the ship.
I'd like to see you react to some of his much older videos.
I'm going through some of his old stuff. I'm running into an ethical issue of, "If I react to everything he's done, while all of it is amazing, I don't want to be a reason for people to not go and support him." So grappling with the react content dilemma.
Digging the new avatar kip. Looks cool as heck
great reaction video look forward to more
The second I heard the USS Enterprise I literally sat up. I love any version of the Enterprise. Star Trek and aircraft carrier
The "I'm from the Government and I'm here to help." is a real quote from Reagen. The part that got cut off for the sake of comedy was that immediately before those words he said "The 9 most terrifying words in the English Language are; I'm from the Government and I'm here to help". He fully understood how we the people view government intervention in most cases.
Ammo is in metric because it's the enemies we just haven't given it to them yet 😂 why confuse the medics
America measures bullets in metric so at least the enemy doesn’t have to go out confused as to what just put them in the forever box.
NATO and foreign rounds tend to be in metric, American domestic munitions are in caliber aka 1/100 inch. An example would be .50 BMG 1/2" diameter projectile
The "Silkworm" Anti-Ship Missiles were Chinese copies of the Soviet "P-15 Termit" Anti-Ship Missiles.
Kip, if you want to see someone talk about history from a top down perspective then I have a channel for you.
The Operations Room, specifically the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and also the collaboration video on their sister channel The Intel Report which asks the question if the atomic bombs necessary.
I will admit that they tend to be more serious and don’t really throw in jokes or memes, but it’s still well made and you can tell that they put hard work into it. And if you are worried about getting political about it, don’t worry as they don’t make it the main focus.
Keep up the amazing work!
the full quote is "I think you all know that I've always felt the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help."
That is a real clip. However, the context of that speech was "The last thing anyone wants to hear is "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help" "
Literally my favorite video
America like - "Ladies and Gentlemen of the court. If I may draw your attention to The Geneva Conventions of 1949, article 53 concerning prohibited destruction, word 20. The. I rest my case." Judge - "Innocent. Case closed."
Full context of that quote. Reagan was saying always be worried when someone from the govt tells you it. The govt is never there to help, and if they are, they'll screw it up
Oil rig #1: *insert R2-D2 Scream*
Bullets are measured in millimeters because they aren’t ours, we just haven’t given them to them yet. 🤣
I would just like to note that "he started it" is a legal defense, Mom.
4:25 idk about the crew, but the ship certainly was built different after its encounter with the minefield.
Lol i subbed just because you did this video lol the Fat Electrician does probably the funniest history vids on youtube right now. Uou should totally do more. Definitely check out the McNasty story
Nice stating that your in it for the history I respect that u earn a follower
that bombardiers name was Luke, they used the force and death star'd the shit out of that boat.
Is that actually true? I wouldn't be surprised if it was
I believe someone on the internet said it first, well that escalated quickly.
Reagan: "What did you do?"
Navy: "Okay, but you can't be mad at me"
Reagan: "What. Did. You. Do?"
Navy: "Okay FIRST, I was minding my own business"
Reagan: "BULLSHIT!"
Navy: "I waaas!"
Ahh Hellsing Abridged, a beautifully crafted parody.
Nick is a fucking gem. His videos are the funniest shit I've seen in a long time and never disappoint.
