You didn't mention the name of the chief North Vietnamese strategist Vo Nguyen Giap, considered one of the best military strategists of the 20th century.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%B5_Nguy%C3%AAn_Gi%C3%A1p
Giap was a military genius.
Yeah.... I was SCREAMING it at the screen.
Between Giap and Ho... We we lucky to get anyone back at all.
Yep. And we had John Paul Vann to counter him, but it was too far gone by the time he was back in the game.
No we don't. I cry watching wars overseas. The slight disquiet we've experienced this past year was uncomfortable but is nothing compared to the destruction that would visit the country and the terror that would come. I don't want that.
I wish people didn’t romanticize war.
War makes humans do inhumane things.
War makes people unprepared to do inhuman things themselves order those they see as socially inferior to do it for them.
Agreed!
To paraphrase Hawkeye Pierce: war is worse than hell. In hell there are no innocent bystanders.
Could not have said it any better! Hollywood has done a fine job.
Every war is a failure. Even if you “win.” Every war is a failure of humanism.
Lots of guys who've never seen war up close fantasize about being heroes. I went to war, saw heroes, most of them are dead. I never want to see our home reduced to rubble, our families and neighbors suffering like the poor people in war zones do. It's always the civilians who suffer most, hungry, maimed, with eyes devoid of hope. What kind of monster wants that anywhere, especially in a country they purport to love?
The kind of monsters that make up the military industrial complex for one because I can only imagine the worst of situations in places such as Yemen for instance. Btw, respect and salutation for your services.
Seriously! Amen to that brother!
@@stryfespoint304 Yup, rhetorical question. But since we're answering add tactical cosplaying chickenhawks since they'll be the ones in the front lines, at least for the beginning.
Well Said. Glad you're back with us.
They all think that...both, they will survive, and that they will be much more powerful and influential than they are now.
The best way I've ever heard it put, "the best way to honor our combat veterans is not to make any more of them."
AMEN.
The greatest Veterans Day will be when there are no more "living" veterans. It will mean that we finally found a way to avoid wars.
Damn straight
This Vietnam vet Marine agrees!
"They couldn't endure wearing a mask for 15 minutes in Walmart" 🤣🤣
That's the longest 15 minutes of their life.
I wear a mask for 5 hours 4 times a week and I am part time. Those people who b!tch about it should serve in the military. 5 hours of duty makes wearing a mask look like a stroll in a park on a sunny day. I salute those who served past and present.
As a USMC vet myself....thank you for saying this. We don't need more wars....at all
Amen from this Airman.
And thi Airedale
USMC vet here as well..Oorah!
And this airedale as well.

"I would get shot for my country!!!!" but won't get a shot for their country.
they want to control women's health choices but yell and scream about their rights when employers or schools require that they be vaccinated.
That is sheer lunacy on their part. Another point to show their crazy in this country.
This! 🙌
@@vinsanity40k And most disgusting of all, they invoke 'My body, my decision' when they refuse to wear a mask.
Icy Midnite, they can't even wear a mask in a store for fifteen minutes. This is for the same country that they'll "take a bullet for"? Bullshit! They're all a bunch of whiney Karen's.
The Vietnamese also had *solidarity* on a level these "I got mine, screw everyone else" Flabby Individuals couldn't possibly comprehend.
Makes me wonder how easy it would be to just bribe a ton of them to give over information. I imagine any popular uprising in the US would have more leaks than rowboat made at a summer camp.
Ask any combat soldier and the saying is true, anyone that wants a war has never seen a war.
I wonder if we could send these twits into combat for a couple weeks each, like summer camp hell. They may learn something.
After my first tour in Iraq a friend of mine (a JROTC instructor) asked me to speak to her class about my experiences. One kid said he wanted to see combat so he could "kick some ass." I told him his balls were bigger than his brains, and then I asked if he knew who General Douglas MacArthur was. Of course he didn't, so I gave him some background and then told him how Gen. MacArthur felt about war:
"A soldier, above all others, prays for peace...for it is he who bears the deepest wounds and scars of war."
@@jeffengel2607 I vote for that. More realistically, two years of national service after high school, for everyone. Also, how about expelling congress people who want to go to war against their own country. Didn't we do that once before?
And yet there were a ton of combat vets that went full retard on Jan. 6, totally trashing the oath they took to defend the Constitution against ALL enemies. They are the enemy.
Or paid attention. I’ve never been to war but I’ve read enough and seem enough movies of war to know good goddamn well I don’t want it.
I often smile when I hear the term "rugged individualist" coming from a guy that complains he didn't get an extra packet of ketchup at the McDonalds drive thru.
Those ketchups come in rugged individual servings.
I've actually started saving condiments and napkins that I don't use up whenever I go out. It's helped me realized how much we throw away to begin with and how easy it is to just take a minute to store something for later.
Those ketchup rations are needed in everyones personal bunker....
I always laugh when I hear one of those Pilsbury Dough Boy-looking idiots call himself a "soldier."
@@josephperez2004 Going anywhere with my dear old Mum used to be a constant scavenger hunt for napkins, wipes, condiments, and anything else she could drop in to her handbag. I do miss her.

War is terrible. But there are things worse than it. Few things. Genocide for one. Slavery for another. But things. And to stop those things, war seems a horrible, horrible option, an option not to used lightly - but an option one must be prepared for in extremis...

Too many Americans are living in a fantasy world where they are the hero.
The bigger problem is that they believe their neighbors are their enemy.

So very true. They're dying to put their prepping skills to good use.
its the rambo complex ...... they think its the movie logic of bloodless and clean
"We don't need more combat vets." Couldn't agree more.
Maybe we should take care of the ones we already got, first. America has a long and dismal history of treating our veterans poorly, even while putting the concept of veteran on a pedestal.
@@PhilLesh69 From personal experience, I know that most countries treat their civilian Disabled poorly - yet their wounded veterans are (at least in public) revered.
If only the rich people cared.
They don't.
You beat me to the punch
Most of those vets are pretty experienced in asymmetric warfare.
I wouldn't trust Madison Cawthorn with a Daisy Red Ryder BB rifle.

They literally think they'll go to the war in the morning, then come home to watch Netflix in the evening
I am a 62 year old veteran. No combat, I was a Signal soldier.
It astounds me when someone like Cawthorne talks about the military like it is a game or a hobby.
He wanted credit for going to a military school just because he wanted to go.
Well, give me jump wings, I wanted to go Airborne, but ruined my ankle in basic.
Where does he think this small arms war between trained soldiers like me (still upholding my oath to the
Constitution) and traitors like him will take place?
Outside Starbucks? Then home to watch Netflix and chill? LOL
He should not get any chill partners, he was a known predator and scared his dates once he
got them in his car in college.
That's what they thought at the start of our Civil War too - see etchings of ladies out to watch the battle. That didn't last very long.
The Vietnamese people were veterans of decades of war against various colonial powers. Y'all say you can breathe with a thin tissue over your mouth.
Torque, I don't get the connection between your two sentences
@@katrand5357 they are referencing the fact that many of the "patriots" that say they would start a war with their pop guns cant take ten seconds of masks meanwhile the VC fought tooth and nail even using suicide tactics and human waves to kill ONE squad of US soldiers cause they knew that it needed done to win ...... there is no comparison between the home grown resistance fighters and larping losers that wear fake kevlar and carry guns to look cool on the weekend
@@reform-revolution thank you for helping me out with this!
The Viet Cong survived in rat tunnels. These complainers have no clue about reality.
This country needs a revised educational system for starters.
The educational system is fine ... Children learn to read, write and do math. Kids with special needs get attention. What's your complaint?
@@factsoverfiction7826 Surely you're trolling, right? Because education is only about reading, writing, and doing math to you?
Indeed, I saw a documentary some years ago, in which members of the VC were asked about their experiences during the war. They said it was absolutely terrifying and terrible. 😥
@@factsoverfiction7826 - are you referring to the same educational system that the Republican party have spent the last 40 years defunding? The same one that refuses to teach *actual* history? The one that produces some of the lowest-ranking students in the industrialized world?
You got that right.
The saddest thing is that the war was entirely avoidable. Uncle Ho was a big fan of the American revolution. He wanted to model his country's struggle for independence from the French on our revolution. When the U.S. wouldn't stand up to France and tell them they should give the vietnamese their freedom, it gave the communists the opportunity to gain control over the fight. Our support for French colonialism made a communist Vietnam possible.
I think Ho literally had a speech at one point that was taken directly from the US Declaration of Independence. But I do need to find which one specifically though
Edit: ok so during Vietnam’s Declaration of Independence Ho Chi Minh mentioned the US Declaration of Independence in the first minute of the speech. Here’s the link
czcams.com/video/7aBnz6GiT1g/video.html
@@nutterbotter8308 yeah there's a good documentary on the Vietnam war that went into detail about it. He was literally trying to make an Asian version of America. When his efforts to get the American government to help back his country's freedom from France, it gave the communists the opportunity and momentum to subvert Ho's desire for democracy.
@@markmiller897 you saying that shows that you have no idea about communism.
It's not communism vs democracy.
It's real democracy vs pretend democracy.
Notice how in Democratic USA, the poor never get policy made for them?
Compare Vietnam or China.
Right, we should have right away recognized Vietnam's independence and there would have been no war.
That spread into Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge.
"That image, that fantasy.. it's not reality". Since when have these people been interested in anything even remotely resembling reality?
I can assure as a veteran who has served in Iraq and other 3rd world countries you absolutely do not want that happening in your back yard. I really wish these type of fantasies would cease.
@@robertmorrison107 you say that as if these "riots" started from nothing, when each and every "riot" that has happened in the last three decades stemmed from injustice. Including the Riot at the Capitol, misguided as it was, stemmed from a perceived injustice. If the US didn't pay their police to kill black folks, or in the instance of the Capital if the election was 100% transparent we would have no "riots". The left and the right have more in common right now than ever before and the establishment knows this. That's why Twitter and Facebook does their darndest to keep us separated and fighting against each other. Just follow the money, the rightwing is extremely well funded and at this point the Democratic Party are considered rightwing or center right. The left is always grassroots organized and funded, if the Democratic Party is donating to something become immediately sceptical of it because they don't do anything without the backing of the corporations and ruling class.
@@robertmorrison107 The Left is not advocating "killing" people or "insurrection" . It has been proven over and over that most of the "rioting, bunring, violence" was done by white supreacists trying to discredit the BLM and their supporters!! DO NOT equate the Left and the Right as though they are equal in this insiideous hate driven call for violence, killing, etc.
It's basically fascism. Umberto Eco talks about this.
@@robertmorrison107 they are not and it's not a pronoun. Curious as to why you said that.
@@robertmorrison107 oh, I see that you're anti antifascist. That's your problem.
Baby Cawthorn makes me sick to look at him. Listening to him is even worse. Kudos for keeping your composure during this video.
Not only do we not need more combat vets, we don't take care of the combat vets we have. And it isn't for lack of money it is for lack of will!
They know they don't have to take care of them because there'll be another batch next month who won't be as bitter yet.
Another lie from the GQP….THEY SHOUT…WE SUPPORT OUR MILITARY….UNTIL THEY COME HOME MANGLED, PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY and ECONOMICALLY…..then their motto is
“YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN.” djt called them SUCKERS AND LOSERS. WOW!
Absolutely.
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
- Bertrand Russell
Heavy !
The thing is: The American Civil War has been glorified to hell and back. Understandably by the side who was fighting for a just cause (Freeing humans from literal slavery) but not understandable for the other side...
If you go to Spain, there might be those who glorify the losing side of their Civil War (because in that case, the losers were the morally juster side) but nobody is particularly keen on a repeat - and even nine decades later, people are still hesitant to talk about it - victims still don't know where their grandparents are buried and stuff like that.
War is hell, yes. But Civil War is hell where brother fights brother. Where what could be a polite disagreement over a few beers turns deadly serious. And not just once, but millions of times. Nobody wins civil wars - everybody loses.
All these would be warriors, who “almost joined”, have no idea what war truly is. Once you’ve experienced war, you realize it’s the last thing you ever want to relive. I know my fellow disabled vets feel the same.
I pray you are right on that one, @Giovanni!
I am a senior. In mid teens I was fascinated by war stories. I read about the great generals, and battles in history. As life would have it, I was drafted and entered the US Army as a private. We had a training in Basic Training where they fired live bullets over your head. That particular exercise taught me more about war, than years of reading about heroic battles. I never got in a real combat situation, and I am eternally thankful, for that.
My father was in Korea. He had nightmares for the rest of his life.
2 middle east tours under my belt. War taught me pacifism.
so it's not like rambo or top gun? they're not going to be john wick or john matrix? how disappointing for them.
Not going to lie, I clicked on the thumbnail because Beau looked pissed and boy oh boy was I not disappointed

For many politics is a sport, and they hate their team losing. That's what they're angry about. Losing.
it's been quite a while since we've played that sport on home turf. thank god.
This is the fear that underlies the anger: "What if my grandkids don't look like me?"
They don't understand the correct answer to that question is "good".
I think it's a little deeper than that. I think it's more "What if the "other" comes to power and treats my grandkids like I treated them"
If your grandkids look too much like you, you're reproducing among far too close relatives.

Your first comment on this channel.... Great point.... And funny....
Dig it
Its more than a little Ironic the first thing they think of are the communists fighting for their independence from white supremacy.
These dummies forget that they might start a war, we will finish it. I truly hope this never happens.
also there is some speculation of them being used as cannon fodder/sacrificial lambs during the tet offensive to deliberately prevent a bunch of undisciplined jacobins post war.
But since the americans did it for them, they had a manageable ultra-left.
Ha!
Something else to remember: The Vietnam War did not end for the Vietnamese after 1975. On top of the challenges of reunification, rebuilding and reorganization, they in turn had to deal with Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge, who began making encroachments into Vietnamese territory and killing villagers. This led to Vietnam invading Cambodia...and being the first to discover the infamous killing fields (which they liberated). After that, they then had to deal with forming a new government in Cambodia, while ALSO dealing with an invasion from China (since Pol Pot and Deng Xiaoping were allies). No, in truth the war didn't end for the Vietnamese until 1990. Those constant decades of warfare? That shit DOES things to a people, its culture and its government. To this day, Vietnam still has places where food will not grow, because of Agent Orange. To this day, they still have to deal with defomities caused by pesticides, and unexploded ordinance while doing routine utility work.
They've convinced themselves that merely owning a gun makes them a soldier.
Thats why its called a fantasy.
But delusional hate filled men with guns are dangerous. Not smart. Just stupid is as stupid does dangerous.
Ain't that the truth! Far too many of them can't run from one corner to the next in just street clothes. I'd live to see them carry ammo, rifle, canteen and other gear.
The VC had guns but they also had a radical program of political education and reform. They had a vision for the future and they were willing to fight for it. That's the real lesson we should take away.
And the biggest, most important reason was that they LIVED THERE. We didn't.
@@richardhouvener6423 the VC basically said to the US, as long as one of us survives, YOU DON'T WIN.
They had a true dual power structure.
And John McCain was proof.
Exactly. Giap was a brilliant strategist, but he had the organization and the ideological commitment of his people as a major military asset. And it was something they knew they could rely on before the shooting started
I'm so glad you are talking about this subject, these people don't understand what a civil war does to a country and its people, I have African and middle Eastern friends who have been through civil wars, none of them would wish that on ANYBODY.🇬🇧
thank you!
The questions I've asked people:
- Did you wake up this morning in your government assigned housing?
- Did you breakfast on your government provided nutritional supplement?
- Did you dress in your government assigned overalls?
- Did you take government transportation to your government assigned work position?
- Did you later read the book that the government approved, or watch the state TV channel?
- Did you get the lights out by the government mandated curfew?
Or did you wake up in the home you chose, eat and dress as you pleased, take your vehicle to the job you took, read the books/watch the channels you chose, stay up as late as you wanted? There have been societies where the answers to the above questions would all be "Yes".
With all the problems this society may have - and does - you're still freer than virtually any other place and time in the history of this planet. So shut the f*^k up about your freedom, at least until everybody everywhere can answer all those questions "No". I'm sick to death of the whiny little privileged Rambo wannabes sniveling about their perceived grievances. If you have a better way to run societies of millions of people, put it on the table.
I was listening to some guy whining about "freedoms" and "The Constitution" while in a line to go into Home Depot during covid restrictions and I made a comment like "Yeah, I had to quarter soldiers the other day". He never caught on that I was mocking him.

Why do you think they are outlawing abortion? Got to have poor bodies to use. Those well off can have access to whatever they want and never have to have their children sign up with the chance of not going into lifetime of debt for their education.
I've had similar conversations with people glorifying civil war. They have no idea what they're wishing for. No idea at all...😢
You would think a cursory watching of 'Game of Thrones' might give them a taste of it. Instead of dragons, think napalm...
The ones glorifying it would run and hide when a few people took one in the forehead!
Reminds me of that girl in the piano scarf at the insurrection. "It's a revolution, we're storming the Capitol! Oh, boo hoo, I got Maced, I'm going home."
YES & calling cops “traitors” for not helping them break the law.
I asked that "what are you so angry about" question and the answer was enlightening. He said " people are scared! We are scared!". I asked what he was scared of and he couldn't really provide a rational explanation. He... is a law enforcement officer and that explains everything. It isn't anger. It is fear and these people have a horrible sense of fear, they just have trouble admitting they are scared... of nothing rational. Every time I try to understand what they are afraid of I get a completely nonsensical diatribe of conspiracy theories and no way to talk him down from the ledge as he only believes "his" preferred website. He is not afraid of the criminals he encounters on a daily basis. He'll just dump 'em if they give him crap. He is terrified of the government, especially the democrats. My sorry ass just asked him if he was scared of me then. I'm at a loss as to what to do.

This country needs more critical thinkers and less reactionaries.
My cousin and I are Military veterans And when Jan 6th happened we both had a conversation that at least the 9/11 guys were willing to die for their beliefs, the Jan 6th people are not even willing to go to jail for theirs.
My compliments Beau. However, you know why they're angry: Someone has fed them their fear of being insignificant. I accept being insignificant but as you've reminded us all is all you have to do to be significant is hold out your hand. Bring some food, water or maybe just a good word... and you're significant. Maybe as little as a good, kind word. Hard to do that with a gun in your hand. It's also difficult when you have hate in your heart. I've suggested that setting down their guns and picking up a hoe will help; gardens feed people.
Well done Beau. We'll see if any of them want to grow up.
There is a lot of anger in our culture because folks are realizing that their myths are failing them. The exceptionalism and the dominant male are both lies and have been used to market the crap that we consume in such insane amounts that it is smoking the planet. The intelligent are easily seeing it and are backing away from our myths, weakening them. The Dirty Harry/Rooster Cogburn/Woodrow Call character of our country's mythology is now projecting weakness onto lefties and they're wrong about that too. Let's face it, if those to the left of center could, they would attempt to control those they see as the opposition. As the Brits would say, "Keep calm and carry on." Try to nurture your own capacity to care about people and don't talk politics unless you have to. Goodonya Beau.
Thank you for this comment.
Absolutely. Thank you for this Comment. ☮️✌🏻
I was a soldier in civilian war in ex Yugoslavia against 3 biggest army in Europe at that time and I am telling you it`s not fun, it`s a very nasty thing especially when other side want to kill yours children and women
Unfortunately, they have grown up and that's how they turned out.
"What are you so angry about?" As ever, Beau cuts to the core of the argument. 😍
They're angry about the fact that "their America" gets less white with every generation.
@@tomogden2432 yeah that's why. Its racism. Not hyperinflation, skyrocketing home prices, a federal deficit that is ungodly, out of control cost of healthcare and education, schools that teach CRT instead of something useful like business math. And our poor infrastructure. It's not any of those things. Its white supremacy.
Him asking that of people who think like Cawthorn, reminded me of Corey Ryan Forrester’s Jan 6 video.

FINALLY! A voice of real reason. The "schoolyard bullies" have no clue to the horrors that would come down upon them.
This is arguably your best piece to date. Your condemnation of people who would prefer thousands die and to burn this country to the ground and salt the earth because they can't be bothered to wear a piece of cloth for 15 minutes while they are in the Walmart is absolutely spot on.

Ahhhhh. Comment extraordinaire. 🌟🌟🌟
That's why there's a push by conservatives (Republicans/ Red State "leaders") to avoid Critical Race Theory and critical thinking as a concept.
So this one time at navy camp, after volunteering myself about ten times too many, I found myself sharing an goat shed/HQ in [redacted] with a Green Beret colonel and debating a wide variety of topics.
Permanently won him over to my side early on with “teachers are the real force multipliers…”
@hognoxious seems like the troll farms are closed now
As a retired Canadian vet with 7 major deployments in 24 years of service, I always cringe when some people think we need more wars to resolve any and all problems. Way too many vets lack the resources to get better, too many never do. Thank you Beau for all that you do and say.
I teach 6th graders. After the events on the 6th, I had a student come to me in tears because her dad told her that he had to get ready for the war to take back the presidency from Biden. She was afraid that her dad was going to die fighting for nothing.
Beau: "The one thing we don't need is more combat vets."
Another thing we don't need is combat casualties. To wit, I refer all y'all to Beau's advice on how to observe Memorial Day. ("What is the best thing you can do for Memorial Day? Make sure that those who are active duty today get to celebrate Veterans Day, and not get remembered on Memorial Day.") czcams.com/video/i987Ke9CzPE/video.html
Thank you for this comment.
I think your occupation must be a carpenter. You hit the nail on the head!
The one thing I've always said is the greatest objective for a nation on Memorial Day, is that there are no more living combat vets to honor. By that I mean that wars are so far In the past that no one in living memory has seen one. We "hire" our politicians and diplomats to be wise enough and smart enough to prevent settle conflicts without war. If they cannot, they have failed in their duty to the people. We have "failed" many times in our history because accepting tyranny was a more unacceptable alternative, but that only means we didn't have the wisdom or foresight to prevent it.
I'm an old lady. My son just completed BMT with the USAF. What these rebel wannabes don't realize is if they want to start a civil war, they wil also be taking on every mother, father, sister, and brother of our current military members.
A Morfus, I basically said the same thing in my comment. They're not just taking on the military and the police, they're taking on their neighbors, friends, and maybe relatives. They're risking their homes and everything they own. There may be causes that are worth it, but to install a wannabe dictator and overturn our Constitution isn't one of them.
Those who rattle the sabre always send the youth to engage.

NOTHING us Americans can currently compare is analogous to the struggles in Vietnam besides

Let's definitely not go there. Peace.
" But one thing we don't need, is more combat vets" AMEN!
I was surprised at when asking the ones who talk about revolution "What kind of Government they wanted" too many had no idea what kind of end game they even considered.
Beau seems agitated in some of his segments as of late. I get it!
My patience with idiocy as long ran out.
I get it--me too. It's same shit, different decade.
@@coolaunt516 The more things change, the more they stay the same. I've been watching this same garbage talk the same talk and bleating the same infantile fantasies since my own childhood in the '90s. None of this is new, except the scale. It has certainly become more normalized and tolerated than ever before (well, in the last ~100 years, at least), which is why it's incredibly important to call this shit out en masse and why they need to be held accountable. People need to sit down, shut up, and get shit done to make sure this doesn't continue to escalate, and some bad actors need to lose their careers or spend some time in prison.
20 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Wouldn't it be nice to have 20 years of peace?
Unfortunately war is all about making the rich richer lieng to ppl to make them believe thy are fighting for freedom. Peace doesn't make us money and doesn't make weapon manufacturers money so as long as they get rich by making ppl die and suffer for it there will never be peace
Even 1 would be a nice change of pace.
Most of these people think God is on their side.
The great delusion. Like a tree granting shade for all who seek its cover, God is in everyones side.
@@stefanschleps8758 There is no God to favor any side in any war...
The Gravy Seals I see around where I live couldn't sustain a guerilla conflict past their first attempt at an ambush.
There won't be any Cheeto, Mountain Dew or Netflix when the Revolution comes.
oakborn, I point this out regularly when this topic comes up. I give most pro-civil war II promoters 48 hrs. or less if they are away from any action. If they are near, closer to 10 minutes.
@@sabotagesavant5277 I read some idiots post yesterday saying the people would win in a fight against the military because they wouldn't want to destroy buildings and peoples home🙄 Just another dummy who has no idea how an actual war would look.
The ones screaming the loudest right now will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
@@leothenomad5675 I point at Syria
@@leothenomad5675 yes, these goubers think they are bad ass cuz they and some of there beer buddies have AR's, yep their ready to take on their own country's
Military.
None of them have seen a warthog coming down out other sky, or what happens next.
So much love for you Beau.
Your voice of sanity, history and reason, help to stave off the forces of.....well evil.
Thank you, AGAIN.
"Why do you are you willing to destroy the country, to rip the country apart?"
Well, Beau, some people...just want to watch the world burn.
This might be the most powerful thought Beau’s ever put out there. Way to go.
Yep, a little cranky about these goofballs.
It takes more energy to be angry, I've got better things to do. I'm lazy that way.
Nothing but the Truth, Beau! Particularly, the part about wearing masks. 🤣
Your were really on point today. Thank you.
He hit on the head when he said "they think there are going to win this conflict, some of you just won't make it." One thing I think about all the the time is, if they are so afraid of immigrants, communism, and protecting their children is, who's going to be watching the border while we are being distracted with this civil war? After this war is said and done who's going to clean everything up and work on rebuilding everything. They never think of how that's going to affect the population and our quality of life.
I worked in Knoxville TN in a Walmart at the sporting goods section. I could sell ammo. I tired asking how the people who visited that section how they would change society if they could start over from scratch. The response amounted to “kill everyone else, hoard resources. My immediate circle survives. What is thrive? There is no rebuild.”
I stopped asking after about the third time.
@@watch50er That's the scary part they have absolutely no plan.
Thank you for sharing a wise and sobering perspective! If only more people thought things through as you do...!
Isn't that the same "We'll kick their butts and be home by lunch!" fantasy that was said in the Confederacy before the Civil War started.
In the starting days of WW one the new recruits were afraid it would all be over before they got there.
Csrefull what you wish for you just might get it.
That was the sentiment of both sides. Also "God is on our side!".
You nailed this one friend! I’m old enough to remember Viet Nam. Thank you.
Thank you for always telling it like it is, we need more people like you.
"We have enough combat vets."
We got too goddamn many, the way I see it. And way too many never made it home. For what? Oil, Power, Influence...?
Pointless.
And way to many lost to suicide, even if they made it home. Only someone devoid of empathy wants to settle political differences, with a war.
@@hks2377 Ain't that the truth.
Most of those weekend warriors don't live in the land of reality.
“Well when you play every Call Of Duty or Specs Op video game out there of course you feel qualified to fight a war. Forget the hardcore training our soldiers had to endure. We don’t need it!” 💪 🇺🇸
There is a significant danger that virtual reality (broad concept, not specific technology) has for our society, and we're too busy making money from it to call it out with any serious. Too many hours of too many lives are spend in play killing other people, with increasing realism and sophistication, such that humanity is slowly dying for many...
@@AndrewSBaker Book recommendation: Read "All Quiet on the Western Front" by E.M. Remarque. The ignorant enthusiasm for heroism is as old as humanity and its male adolescents itself - nothing to do with VR and silly computer games.
@@AndrewSBaker Videogames don't cause real world violence though. The whole entire "we're losing our humanity as videogames become more realistic" doesn't have any real evidence to support it.
You nailed my question right on the head. "What are you so angry about?"
"Everything's so dumb dumb dumb dadumbdum!" Beau, I love that you mentioned Robert. I have learned so much from you both.
✌🏼& 💜➡🌍
My grandfather, a veteran of WWII, used to say that the only people who warmonger, or look at combat through rose-tinted glasses, are those who have never fought - because when you truly understand the brutality and cruelty of war, it's the last thing you want to see again.
He wasn't wrong.
Same goes for those who think prison is easy.
I always upvote before I watch. Never fails!
Always!!
You know Beau is gonna bring the heat!
Because that's just what heroes do.
Every time. 👍
Same.
This brought me from nodding in agreement into anger to tears.
I'm literally typing this with wet cheeks and a elevated heartrate. NO country needs any more people like me!
Thanks for bringing this up and making such salient points. I wish understanding and intelligence could be transmitted through CZcams....
Addiction to outrage, America's rage addiction, is a thing it seems. It's a longing for that justified power and excitement looking for a cause, or an excuse. We could have the greatest nation on earth, and be brought down by obesity, rage addiction, and a bit of high-tech interference... and that is SO SAD!
The root problem is pride. They think they know better and refuse to admit they are wrong.
America is all about fantasy and mythology. And the biggest pusher of FANTASY is djt.
The nation was built on deception and fantasies invented to cover up horrific crimes.
Our national mythology is so ingrained that any attempt to teach our actual history is fiercely opposed by conservatives
Donnie is very fond of sci-fi as well. He spouted quite a bit of it throughout his dismal occupation of the presidential office.
America is playing on easy mode in single player, with cheats and compare themselves to people born and molded in PvP.
I can understand why you say that.
Amen to that Beau. We do need more engineers, teachers and skills individuals to make America what it used to be. Peace and blessings you.
...well, better than it used to be, for more people...
Brother Beau, preach it from the rafters. You are a breath of fresh air and reason in these turbulent times.
Nailed it Beau. I never served and I appreciate those that have and do honorably.
Pretty sure the South was certain they could win a war against the North and be home for Christmas. Wars are seldom swift... Afghanistan...Iraq...decades
Well said to those who have an ear to hear.
The Women of the VC were tougher, & endured more than 95% of the tough guy Redhats ever could
Not to mention the horrifying price paid by Vietnamese non-combatants.
Agent orange, bombing of laos
@@ChicanoOne760 Not to mention some war crimes.
I fought in Vietnam and had a friend who was at Hamburger Hill. He was in the hospital for a short while with an NVA major who told him that his side had won the battle. My friend laughed and asked, "How can than be? We deicmeated your soldiers."
The major answered, "You don't understand. You won a military battle but lost the political one. You don't even understand the war you're fighting.
"Our young people grow up with the ferver to defend and reunite our country. Your youth have no sense of duty or your people the strength of will to continue in the face of the hardships that we face.
"It will take years and cost us thousands of lives. But, our will and determination will ultimately give us victory."
As for Cawthorn, I've seen his type before. He was the one who was so afraid, we had to put him in the middle of the platoon, to keep him moving. He was the one who cringed in terror during a firefight. And he was the coward who bragged in the club of his exploits until those who knew the truth walked in. Then he pissed his pants.
The thought of Cawthorn as "new meat" is a pleasant thought.
@@ShikataGaNai100 Yeah, but then you remember it was his kind that got the good guys killed.
5:40 "What are you so angry about?!"
That should be screamed at every republican that does not want to change
Great reality check, never forget history. Our fringe have itchy fingers, all about exclusion.
Now hold on there, Beau. I've watched Red Dawn. They won the day in an hour and 54 minutes with almost no casualties. That's war, right? Right?!?
Heh.
I know you are being sarcastic but the problem is there are quite a few people who's idea of what a war would look like is pretty close to that.
😂😂
😂😂😂
"The one thing we don't need - is more combat vets. We've got enough."
Nice closer. The rest of it too, but then they most always are.
We can always count on Beau to spread words of wisdom and shine the light upon darkness.
melting down over a restaurant. lol. you are the best.
