Hello simple history can you check in google about the napalm girl from the Vietnam war please and explain about it before you upload the video
Hey simple history, I have been watching your videos for 4 years
I have a video request
Can you make a video on the 1965 Indo Pak war?
Also can you bring back the old narrator?
Simple history can you explain about the napalm girl back Vietnam war please
what are those silly, cheap animations, cant you hire professionals? what a shame.
Explaining to an army recruiter that you were involved in K-pop must’ve been crazy 💀
Sounds like you have a lot of cardio for running recruit!
You wouldn't think it, but a lot of those Kpop stars were in great shape even before joining the military.
@@DemonDragonGD being able to dance and perform for hours needs a good physical state, so probably they're probably pretty healthy more than most people think
They are conscripted to it, meaning it’s mandatory.
I wonder what he was called in boot camp.
I ran a support section (tools, maintenance equipment, etc.) while in Afghanistan with a South Korean helicopter unit next door to us. Their commander and a few of their higher-ups came over to tour our unit and stopped by my section. The commander himself told me that I had a well organized area and was impressed. He even gave me and my fellow workers a unit sticker and coin. I had never been so proud.
Are you the XO?
Ahh well I come from that unit. Heard stories from my superiors about their time in Afghanistan. Army Helicopter command, 2nd brigade
I'm proud of you very much. Not because you received stickers and coins from Korean commander.
You sdeYou must have been respected by Korean commanders because you deserved it.
As a Korean and a former soldier.
I respect you too. Thank you for your service.

That commander name? Kim Jong Un, leader of best Korea, North Korea he was undercover 🥸
From blasting K-pop at North Koreans to taunting them with selfoof vests, ROK soldiers have a long history of being based
The former Korean president, Moon Jae-in, was in the special forces and participated in Operation Paul Bunyan.
Unfortunately, he was not one of the SF soldiers to strap on a suicide vest and taunt North Koreans. If he did, he would’ve been extremely based.
Given how K-pop is banned in North Korea this guy either would've tolerated what he heard, enjoyed it, or shot himself because I doubt even the most fanatical of North Korean troops wants to be "that guy who fired the first shot of a third world war" given how both sides have nuclear weapons or are protected by a country that has them (a lot of them).
K-Pop is actually popular in North Korea. People in North Korea use smuggled DVDs and USB drives containing South Korean popular culture contents despite the risk of severe punishment if they get caught. A North Korean can get punished even for using South Korean slang. But they still secretly watch the shows.

From Listing to KPOP to Popping off a few rounds the Korean conscript is not to be insulted for his musical taste and aesthetics while off duty or out of service.
There is nothing can do. It is mandatory for the country to serve in the military. Because Korea has enemies everywhere, it has to serve in the military to protect its own country. In fact, even though the United States and the Soviet Union had to split Japan in half instead of the Korean Peninsula, the aftermath of World War II went to Korea. Is it because Korea became the first Japanese colony?
And better blasting K-pop at the North Koreans

I gotta say amazing video you guys made! The details were spot on, but i wanna point out a few outdated details.
New K2C1 rifles have replaced K2s a few years ago from what I heard(at least in the front area). The original K2s are being pushed to the rear replacing the remaining m16a1s there. (K2C1s are basically K2s with picatinny rails and adjustable stock)
At 7:59 in the video, you said that the army is divided into 3 components. That may be right 3 years ago. Currently the army is divided into 2 groups; 1st Ground Command defending the DMZ and 2nd Ground Command managing the rest of peninsula.

Just a random fact I'd put out.
Thats cool to know
One savage on the side of evil(Islamic extremist) tips his had off to another savage on the side of good(ROK)...
Not only K-pop stars but all Korean men are citizens and well-trained soldiers. In fact, a random, random draft in the middle of town can form a nearly perfect infantry unit in an hour. Not all Korean men are the best warriors, but basically they are basic soldiers who can handle AR-related rifles naturally and fire precisely with them. And within 24 hours, you can organize a tank pilot and various heavy weapon specialized soldiers. This is really possible.
My Korean American buddy and other Korean American friends never went national service. Their parents did. One day they had a parents vs kids airsoft match. Kids lost. Kids forgot parents were trained/veterans of one sort or another. I am not Korean so it was an interesting cultural phenomena to witness.
the kids probably didnt see the loss coming xD
Age and treachery beats youth and enthusiasm .🤣
The parents probably shoot better than most gangsters.
Dual citizenship is not allowed by S. Korea, therefore your Korean American friends are likely nationals of the USA and would not be subject to ROK conscription. So no mandatory service for them. I do like picturing an ajumma shooting a rifle though 😂
@@ModernVintage31 yeah they were born here making them US citizens
The kpop idols who go to the military are usually used to tiring training because when they were kpop trainees, they spent a lot of time practicing dance.

한국 독자를 위한 메시지. To any Koreans reading this, your mandatory military training has made you badasses (really cool and strong) during some events in United States history. There were violent riots in Los Angeles, California during the 1990's. During the riots, our police were defending rich people, and allowing the rest of the city to fall into chaos. Your people were abandoned. The Korean section of town formed a strong militia to defend businesses against thugs. You fortified rooftops and sent squads on rescue missions. Your area of town was saved because of your people's strength. It's super cool.
Having trained with them, they are some tough SOBs!💪👍
Its crazy to think Kpop stars like BTS could be in the army
Jin is now military drills instructor.
No surprised considering how stressful it is to kpop star. Their handle of mental stress and the practice probably would make them better than the most recruits.

Not gonna lie, as a history buff I knew about Koreans and how feared they were in Vietnam (mainly thanks to you guys). And as an weeb I have read several manhwas. 50% of the time MC was guy who finished his "basic training". I never gave this info any real or historical weight(in manga you want your MC to be as likable as he can be, and I went with same mindset towards manhwa). I would never realized how real this was, I would just brush it off as another thing that makes MC popular and likable. So thank you SH team, once again you made my knowledge better than it would be without you
You don't know the Korean army in the Vietnam War at all. You don't even know the history.
Actually male MC fresh out of military service is not to make him special or admirable but more to make him more relatable to readers haha
During the Vietnam War, South Korean soldiers were the record holders for their ability to massacre unarmed women and children. It is estimated that of the 2 million civilians killed in the Vietnam War, 200 thousand (accounting for 10% of the civilian deaths) were the achievements of South Korean soldiers.
Want to know more about other famous feats of the South Korean army, you can learn about Jeju uprising (the reason why the North Korean leader decided to attack South Korea), Bodo League massacre, Ganghwa massacre, Goyang Geumjeong Cave massacre...
@@hongquancand2248 Lol. The Vietnam War was the war when those VC dressed as a civilian and hid among the villagers. When a VC company came to the village, they brainwashed villagers like Vietnam was invaded and we should liberate the South or something. Sometime they forced villager to join their force too.
If these VC had been so brave, why would have they dressed as a villager and sneaky attack on Korean, American and South Vietnamese force at the midnight? Why don't you fight at front?
Speaking of these massacres that you mention in Korea, mostly these people were communist as they didn't want the government of South Korea established.

Yea I heard the ROK troops in Vietman were legendary. SK is like the biggest success story for a country ever. Literally war torn and having next to nothing, relying extremely heavily on external aid in the 1960s to having the 6th most powerful military presence right now and successfully making their own 4.5 gen supersonic fighter jet (although this is with Lockheed Martin iirc so definitely not entirely domestic - this is why the KF-21 Boramae looks so similar to the F-22 Raptor which was also designed by Lockheed Martin). Still an incredible feat.
A hypersonic fighter jet is 1. Useless for a fighter and 2. Not possible on normal jet engines, only on rocket aircraft
I think you meant Supersonic
Lockheed was mostly an advisory role and not a developer role. So the vast majority of the development was done domestically.
When Korea bought the f35, it was supposed to transfer the four core technologies (AESA, IRST, EOTGP, EW), but US refused. The four core technologies were developed in-house in Korea.

01:48 I was a soldier in charge of managing the reserve forces in the ROK Army until 2015, and have been in the reserve for 8 years now.
The M1 Carbine was all retired in 2012, and the M16 rifle is now the reserve's main rifle.
M1 Carbine is currently not found in the military.
Actually, K3 LMG is often called as K3 'bolt-action' LMG among ROKA soldiers because its ridiculous unreliability makes it uncapable for automatic fire.
Exported versions are mostly reliable, modified version of K3 LMG. But still there are great amount of 'bolt-action' types of the LMG in service in ROKA.
Due to this, the ministry of defense has called for a new line of light and heavy machine guns, which are now entering service as K15 and 16 respectively. I fired a K15 during training last year, it was a pretty good experience!
@@tomchoiohseems like the K-15 is just a heavily modernized K-3 and the K-16 is either a licensed minimi/another heavy variant of the K-3

To tell the truth, until now, a few retired ex-KPOP idols or Korean entertainers used to enter military service such as Marine, Ranger, and SF soldiers in the Korean army these days. But not all entertainers & K-POP artists entered the Korean army as SF troopers. South Korea's social vibes are so strict that all POP stars & famous entertainers should join their army service and it does not have any exceptional ones.
Some two or three guys once wanted to be exempted unofficially from their military service but all of them were perfectly fucked up at the time. Because most raging Korean citizens wanted to punish all those guys, so they had to join military service instead of being prisoners. Recently, the famous K-POP artist BTS boys began to enter their military service, and the senior member Jin's role is to be an instructor to educate other trainee soldiers in his division.
Loved the video and all of your videos

Worth to mention are the economic policies that Park Chung-hee implemented first before starting the self-reliance programme, "Yulgok Plan". The export-oriented policies (for goods) and chaebol backing (for financing and implementation) allowed Korea to establish the necessary resources to start the military industry.
The Yulgok Plan also covers the manufacturing of their own warships.
Correct, the Park presidency/dictatorship(?) also encouraged tech transfers, had a policy of loan guarantees and tax breaks for companies, which are factors contributing to the robust military-industrial complex of present-day South Korea. And prior to the Yulgok Plan, South Korea also ad an established shipping industry, notably that from Hyundai (Hyundai Heavy Industry/HHI).
Perhaps South Korea has the largest number of armed forces among Western developed countries, excluding the United States.
I also served in the Korean Air Force near the US Air Force Base, and 3.6 million active duty and reservist soldiers are ready to fight.

a little correction at 1:46 : M16A1 rifles are being used for reserve forces. M1 is for honor guards
My grandpa who is american met my grandma who is korean after vietnam he fought along side korean special forces training them in marksmanship and clandestine ops.
I was stationed at the northern most Korean air base years ago and enjoyed my time there; I was impressed by the professionalism of the ROKAF but less so with their facilities at the time.
I was a tank crew(specialized in tank-driving and also licensed) for K-1 tank type when I was in ROKArmy. Tank crews have to be used to many types of guns Korean Army uses like K2 rifle(trained in Army Training Center, tank crews don’t use this), K1 submachine gun(loader use this), K6 heavy machine gun(originated from M2, it’s on top of the tank for commander), M60E2 and M60D(equipped in tank for gunner and loader), and K5 pistol - M1911 pistol(Commander, gunner, driver use this. Inside of tank is pretty narrow so cannot use K1 or K2).
We were instructed to disassembly and assembly those guns frequently, sometimes our camp raised some competitions of handling those guns. I remember some techniques of them as time passes by.

FYI, A lot of k3 mgs get jammed if you go full auto. So we were told to pause every second or so (like manual burst fire). I heard that it wouldn't jam if it is conditioned and maintained perfectly, but we were too busy maintaining our k9 artillery.
I know that Daewoo is producing a new type of mg, but I would expect that it will take more than a decade to fully replace the existing guns. I know that k2c1 (started spreading 2016) hasn't fully replaced k2 yet, so I expect that it's going to be same for k3 mgs.

They practice by training for 12 plus hours a day. They are very fit. One of the BTS members said that because of their rigorous training, they can stay under water twice as long.

I felt that the k3 machine gun was the world's first bolt-action machine gun.

If anybody wants a visceral look at the horrors of the Korean war, watch a film called The Front Line (2011) it's one of the greatest war films I've ever seen and can stand amongst legendary films like Saving Private Ryan and others. In fact, it's that good, that I think the only films it doesn't surpass are that and All Quiet... But let's not debate the subjective nature of that.
It really is an awesome film, that follows a Lt. who is tasked with finding a supposed traitor. Instead, he gets drawn into monotonous human wave attacks with huge amounts of death, and it makes you realise how massive that war actually was. Bigger than Afghan, Nam, and The current Ukraine one. Yet we don't really talk about it.
The special effects are absolutely top notch, no expense has been spared, and I look forward to watching this again.
thank you
