- Five Finger Death Punch Fans.....FEELIN' YOU!!! Tonight we're coming back to Five Finger Death Punch, with a song entitled "Wrong Side Of Heaven". FULL DISCLOSURE: I have heard this song before, I am very familiar with the studio recording of it. However, the requesters wanted to see me react to the official music video (oh boy). Therefore I will NOT be scoring, evaluating, reviewing, or reacting to the song itself in any way. I will ONLY be scoring, evaluating, reviewing, and reacting to the MUSIC VIDEO.

As a wounded combat vet. I thank you for keeping the message going.
My pleasure believe me, and thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service brother
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇲
I'm a Vietnam War Veteran, and I've seen this video about 50 times. I've cried each time! Most people these days don't want to be bothered with veterans and the problems they face every day. A wise man once said that there are no unwounded veterans of war - some wounds can be seen, but most can't be seen. I am so thankful for Five Finger Death Punch and Sabaton. They're the only bands I know of who tell the stories of warriors and veterans. Thank you for doing this video David; I know that it was a hard one to watch, but the truth needs to be told. Regarding the statistics.... The numbers are higher now than they were at the time this video was made. Things are getting worse, not better. Peace, my friend!
Considering your experience, would Alice in Chains' Rooster would be a good song for you to listen to considering it's about the guitarist's dad who served in Vietnam too
@@idrinkdiesel8451 That is a great song if he knows the background. The artists father was a Vietnam vet and it a tribute to him and his comrades in arms.
@@idrinkdiesel8451 I just watched Alice in Chains' "Rooster" for the first time. I'm surprised I've never seen it before. Thank you so much for letting me know about this song! Peace!
Sometimes music is able to rub our face into something we try to ignore, or make us awere of something we should know.
I'm from Italy and I'm not familiar with your military system so I can't make any judgments.
But you don't need to be an expert to figure out that if you have a suicide every 2 hours (or more) in a specific group, there is something to be done.
I want to personally thank you for your service. My late husband, who passed away 4 years ago was a Vietnam Vet. We were married for 48 years when he passed. He didn't have PTSD, but his memories weren't good. Agent Orange did contribute to his death. In more ways than just the physical ones. Luckily we had a great group of volunteers that help vets get the help they need. They file all the documents and send you to the right Drs. My husband was declared 100% disabled in July of the year he died. He died in Sept. But thankfully I now draw VA benefits. And let me tell you, it helps. Social Security is not that much. The VA pays my real estate taxes and the tag on one car. There is help out there. If any vet lives in Oklahoma and needs help just let me know and I will give you the name of the group that helps.
Thank you David, for your honest and real reaction to this video and its topic. You did not edit out your emotional reaction, you wanted it seen and I applaud you for that. I am a 100 percent disabled veteran. I have watched this video at least 50 times or more and it NEVER fails to stir up emotions and I have shed tears watching it more times than I care to think about. Even though you are not a veteran yourself, you recognize the travesty of what our veterans go through and you see the unfathomable injustice in how they are treated, as a disabled vet I cannot thank you enough for showing this video and doing your part to spread this message and for not being afraid to show your emotions and display your gratitude to every veteran who has ever put on the uniform in the service of our country. I may not be able to speak for all of us, but I know I speak for many when I say THANK YOU....even knowing how it would turn out in the end...I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. To all my brothers and sisters who are out there, and the ones who have commented below I say Thank you family! Your sacrifices have not been in vain, and you will always be remembered in prayer, thought, and deed.
When u said u knew the song I was like "Ok but have u seen the video?"
When he said he hasn't seen it I was like "oh no he is in for quite the time"
When he said his brother is in the military then I was like
"OH MY GOD HE IS IN FOR A HELL OF A TIME"
I have seen many reactions to this video. Every reactor worth their salt has had the same reaction whether they served or not. I respect your reactions more than most because you break it all down from an inside perspective. Even knowing the song, you saw it coming from the opening notes and it still got you. This message needs to keep going around until those numbers go to zero.
Just hearing the title of this song makes me tear up. One of the most powerful songs I've heard. I think every chickenhawk politician should be forced to watch this video. Hell, every politician needs to watch this.
I served eight years in the Marines and Desert Storm combat veteran.thank you for heart felt reaction.this song is something I wish everyone could hear and see.
We go and fight but in the end we fight for our brothers at our side.seeing them die or serious wounded,you carry that for life.then you ask why did I make it and they didn’t.nobody comes home the same.my wife said a different man came back and divorced.i know the first few years back nothing made sense and everything seemed like a threat.waking up at night reliving fire missions.
Wrong side of heaven righteous side of hell to me explains what a lot of feels.we are there fighting for the good but taking lives at the same time.
Now in my 50”s,what keeps me up at night is this.we all are Gods children and when I die and go before him and he ask why did you kill my children.what do I say,it was my job.again thank you for reaction
As a US Navy veteran I sincerely thank you for this video! We all need to look out for everyone! Everyone needs to use their voice with our governments!!!! These numbers are a lot lower!
“This may hit me.”
It hits everyone. I wish it hit more people that had the power to really do something about it.
Thank you to everyone who’s served ♥️
Unfortunately, so many people who are “hit” by this video are immediately distracted by a TikTok video, Real Housewives, or just plain making a living and raising their children.
This message has to be repeated and kept in people’s faces to keep their attention.
I appreciate this reaction video, and I hope it motivates a few more people to get involved.
@@tracycampbell4526 Agree wholeheartedly 🖤
I'm not an American. I'm not a soldier. But this song moved me even before the video but then I saw the video, and I believe every reaction of it. I might have seen this video a thousand times without exaggerating and it hits me every time. As you said towards the end. These are no longer soldiers. They are human beings. This is done to human beings. A total catastrophy that must stop. But I guess it will continue until people stop seeing dollar bills and weighing money over all, and this means it probably will be like this forever. Respect to every soldier out there, defending their own country.
Thank you for reacting to this. The song hits so much harder when it's paired with the video. Something to keep in mind with this, too, is that those statistics are all old. It said right in the beginning "these numbers are rising" and they have. I am fortunate enough to be eligible for and receive VA assistance, but not all of my brothers and sisters are.
Added: From my understanding, the actors that 5fdp used for this video were actual veterans, and all the proceeds made from this were given to organizations that help veterans.
I served in Afghanistan and Iraq. This video hits me hard. And I wasn't a combat soldier! Yeah my base got attacked in Afghan. But the infantry dealt with it and I never had to lift a finger, or pull a trigger. I still to this day wake up reaching for my weapon when I hear a loud noise. I'm still drinking every night just so I can sleep without dreaming. Whether you are on the front lines, or whether you are support that shit sticks with you. I have run for a bunker or hesco barrier with bullets kicking up dirt at my feet. And I can never forget it.
This song and video has made me shed tears many times, My Son is in the Army and is a Bomb Disposal Technician. he has served in Iraq and Afghanistan.To know your Son is at risk every day is a constant worry but you cant protect him and even though he is an adult you wish you could protect him. .As a Brit we have injured vets that do not cope well and ours could be treated better, but I think this is a terrible way to treat those who served and were damaged. This video should be played on TV regularly to bring the issue into every home in the USA. The greatest Democracy in the world could and should do more for those who defend it. Your score of 10 is appropriate well done for showing this.
This hit in the feels and i am not a American and even wasn't a soldier in my country😭😢😪
Love the reaction. Served the Marines for 5 years, deployed to Afghanistan, been through some crazy stuff and this band always hits hard. You don't have to react to it but should definitely check out on your own time the video 'Memorial Day 2021 Jocko Willink'. It is a powerful 5 minute tribute to veterans and service members and important message to Americans unfamiliar with such sacrifices they go through. Here is a small part of it;
Jocko Willink "Ideas are not protected by words. Paper and ink may outline the foundation and principles of this nation, but it is blood, only blood that protects it. In that dusty compound a man you have never met gave everything he had so that you have the freedom to think, speak, and act however you choose. He went there for all of us whether you loved or hated what he stood for. He went there to preserve the opportunity and privilege to believe, to be, and to become what we want."
As a Canuck 🇨🇦 Thank YOU, American veterans for what you have done for NOT only your country, but the impact felt, worldwide! The veterans that went before you, during World War Two, liberated my wife's country of the Philippines 🇵🇭 from the Japanese Imperial Regime- thank YOU USA 🇺🇸 🙏🏼🇵🇭🙏🇨🇦
Love your name, Demon Hunter has a new album coming out soon.
@@vladtheinhaler8940 really digging their singles, coming out- before their album 🤘🤠🤘
I've never seen a comment before from a non-USA citizen reflecting on our military in this light. Thank you, this offers a whole new insight into how I perceive other people perceive us
@@ghostlibra3787 I've been studying American military history my whole life- the ENTIRE world owes a debt of gratitude to YOUR American military 🪖- honestly & seriously: eternally grateful, for the 🇺🇸 military 🇺🇲🙏🤠🙏🏼🇵🇭🇨🇦
@@ghostlibra3787 you're most welcome- the USA is a beacon of liberty 🗽 & FREEDOM
My brother was told his PTSD was a lie. It really broke him because he gave up his piece of mind going to Iraq. Thank God he finally got help which saved his life. He was on that edge, ready to topple over it. They retired him so he could enjoy peace.
Thank you for your reaction on the video. The first time I watched it I cried like a baby and like you at the end I was so pissed.
To all of the veterans THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
I've seen this video so many times and it gets me every time. I served in the Army Reserve, I was fortunate that I was not activated during the war. My heart breaks for our combat vets who are not getting the assistance they deserve.
The sceene with the mother and child, it breaks my heart over and over again.
I always learn my kids to give love to who needs it.
Damn, forgot to mention the tattoos. Most Units have a unit tattoo and almost everyone gets it. The cop and the guy they were arresting had served in the same unit.
Probably not a better time this could have come out considering very recent events. I know it wasn't planned that way but here we are.
The best thing about this Every time someone downloads or react or just watch the music video the band will send out 100k to every hotline to help are vets
I don't really care for their music but I appreciate what they speak about and stand for.
Hello combat veteran with PTSD and TBI and all that bullshit. Thank you for putting these numbers in people's faces. I'm one of these numbers. Everyone should watch this video. God bless our soldiers. Being blown up sucks bro.
As soon as I saw the title of the song/video… I just thought, Oh, God. I’ve seen numerous reactions to it, so I’m well aware of just how emotionally intense it is. But of course I didn’t know you have family in the armed forces. I had grandfathers who served in WWII. One of them was a fighter pilot and had a lifelong interest in aviation. Whenever any type of program involving aircraft or flight comes up I think of him. Well, my own personal policy is to support soldiers much more than any war or armed conflict. In my view they do all of the true work, shedding all of the blood, sweat and tears. While a lot of politicians kick back in Washington to count their profits and ratings. But it’s the soldiers who actually get their hands dirty, and that’s a huge credit to their own character, to give so selflessly. I often wish there was much more selflessness in the world. And every soldier who ever served, always very bravely put others before themselves.
I am neither an American nor a veteran, nor have I ever "served my country". Nevertheless, this concerns me very much. I am more than content with what I see as the "simple" things in life. And yet, for so many others, these "simple" things are a luxury. I am grateful for this life of mine, but I hate that it is a privilege.
This video shouldn't even have to exist, nor should veterans. "Serving one's country" should mean harvesting vegetables, working as a doctor, nurse, mechanic, logistician, and so on. "Serving one's country" should mean "serving one's people". And one's people are all people, from any country. If this were achieved, "one" would turn to "we", "one's" to "our". We'd serve our planet. We'd serve us.
Sadly, this will always be written in this form: full of "should" and "if" and "would". When even the "service for one's country" isn't served back in any way that matters, how can one not feel that there's so much wrong? How can't one feel?
Thank you for once again showing a reason why I am in the right place here with you.
Thank you for watching this video, this message needs to be heard. I lost 2 brothers while I was in and 3 more since we got out to their own hands. 22 a day. Semper Fi to all my warrior brothers and sisters out there. We will meet again to drink a horn in Valhalla. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC
25 yr Navy vet here... this video gets me every time. Also check out Disposable Heroes.
Yeah. I am a Finnish, 45-year-old woman. No one close to me has been in war, (a soldier in training, yes. ) But still I'm crying here. Two generations ago, Finland was at war with Russia. My grandparents also served at the front. I can only imagine the nightmarish events during the winter, continuation and Lapland wars. whatever traces they left. It is so wrong that veterans are left alone to survive. Everywhere. I send a virtual hug to everyone this video touches.
David wears his heart on his sleeve...and that's refreshing.
I am a 70% disabled vet, and thank you for keeping this subject open and in the minds of people!
This video brings me to tears every time and honestly I cannot imagine what these veterans go through. Alas mankind cannot stop fighting and creating hell for people. Its a sad reality of humankind.
I love your point about it not being about if you agree with what the military does or has done, it’s about the people who at the end of the day don’t deserve how they are treated after they left the service. The government needs to step up and do something to help former service members.
My god 😳😳😳😳
This is THE strongest reaction to this video, I have ever seen 😭
The thought that you have a brother inlisted is offcourse a huge scare to you, if someday a party comes to your door to tell the impossible😔
FFDP has a clear message with this, and it is sadly a problem everywhere, even here in little Denmark, where people are dissapearing into the woods, to be able to sustain life, witout hurting others 😳😳
this one hits harder than ever man... i mean, it always did, but in the world we live in today 💔💔😭😭
when you lost it so did I. 10 is exactly the right score. Thank you Veterans, I pray for you all everynight.
Thank you for your prayers. 😁
That said, I make a point of praying for not just other veterans but for my brothers and sisters serving in any branch of the military. Pray for them and their families...
I'm Brazilian and I ugly cried the first time I saw this. That a rich country like the US chooses to treat their children like this and still consider themselves the GOAT detracts from Humanity...
This was heart wrenching.
One small victory for veterans is the passage of the PACT Act because of the relentless calling out of the powers that be by John Stewart. Please thank your brother for his service.
I'm a veteran from the bush war in Angola. You sir, is a credit to humanity. Do NOT deny your emotions. This is real.
Hi David! I am so happy you reacted to this video. I get angry and cry every time I watch this video or watch someone else react to it. Much respect to you and your brother. A much deserved 10.💖
Every time I watch this, even watching the reactor's, this still hits hard.
I didn't get to serve due to medical... But, I'm surrounded by military family.
My father was Korea/Navy. He passed a year ago the end of this month.
This video has always made me cry. Watching your reaction and reading some comments made me feel, as a man, that crying is okay.
I suffer from PTSD as well. My life has never been the same since.
Carry on brothers and sisters. Let's always keep an open heart, an open hand, and open arms. Good folks like you give me reason to see one more day.
I have so much respect for our service members!!!!! Effing thank you!!! There aren't words. *Salutes* (I'm an eagle scout, so only 3 fingers) apologies.
I'm a va nurse and I've seen the mental anguish when they come back. Healing their minds and spirits is just as important as healing their bodies. They are conditioned to take a beating and keep going. When its quiet and the adrenaline dump is over that's where the mental chaos comes in. Til Valhalla is also a great organization
İm not even american but this song makes me break down and cry..U.S must the only country that treats their veterans like that...i have served military in my country as an oblitagated duty..we always pay respect to our veterans and martyrs like we're supposed to...
U.S. Navy Veteran. Thanks for showing. It’s ok to cry , I do every time. Texas.
I’m not in the military but I know several that are. I had the same reaction as you. I’ve heard this song countless times but until I saw the music video, let’s just say I hadn’t been hit by something that hard in a long time.
Thank You for your heartfelt reaction. I myself didn't get to service, but my Grandfather serviced in WWII U.S. Navy on a Battleship and also was a boxer in the U.S. Navy. He would never want to speak of the horror's he seen and endured. But I knew he struggled with it. He unfortunately passed away 3 years ago with full Military honor's. R. I.P. Granddad ❤.
I had a friend who I went to AIT with. He managed to sneak alcohol into the barracks for me for my 21'st birthday. He took his life a couple years ago. I didn't find out until the year after. He hung himself. It kills me. I didn't stay in contact. Maybe I could have helped him. But I got out and lived my own life. A wife, a child. Things I have that he never will.
Thanks so much for doing this video. The first time i watched this it broke my heart. We as a people need to donate our time talent and treasure in this area.
being retired military this gets me everytim
My husband is a veteran as well. Gets me too, though it's a great song. Hits me in the feels everytime. I'm with ya.
I have friends an family are military an honestly that has no bearing on this song this video hitting you if this does not hit home with you a american citizen hell as just a human being there just might be something wrong with you
Damn, did not expect David to be reviewing this one. Thanks, David!
Yeah... this video has never been blocked that I know of. The emblems tattooed on the guy and the cop don't really matter if they are real. The point was that they had both served at one time in the same unit... and I have seen cops do that for vets getting arrested on drunken disorderly... they talk with them connect with them then show them some respect most of the time in those cases they don't even get charged they just put them in the drunk tank over night to sober up and release them in the morning
bring it in ppl..hugs, ptsd aint nothin to fxk with
Hi David, my dad served in the Australian Army and has PTSD from his time in the Vietnam War
I cry with you DH. Its an issue close to my heart. Much love to everyone who is suffering, I hope that the future is brighter
I so appreciate your response to this video. I have two brothers who served in Vietnam. Thankfully they both came home, though they were fundamentally changed. We lost a nephew during the first Desert Storm, have another who after his Marine service began working for Wounded Warrior Project. I married a Vietnam Vet, our youngest son served in the Army, though thankfully never deployed. (Though he very much wanted to). So the message this song delivered hit me soooo hard. I’m grateful for the sacrifices all vets have made, and it’s time to put our money where our mouths are. Help is desperately needed!
Well, I guess you know why everyone wanted you to watch the video, it gives the song so much more context. The video wasn't an afterthought, they it released at the same time as the song. The stats are much higher now. You need to watch FFDP "Gone Away" official video. It was the same two from the video. The black dude was saying, "Bill, Bill, it's me Jacoby. You saved my life Brother." I am a Viet Nam vet, and we were treated like shit when we came home. So many of my brothers died over there, and so many of us never really came home. So many of us came back and turned to drugs or ate the barrel of a gun. I attempted suicide twice but was lucky enough to get a good doctor at the VA who helped me cope. I still have insomnia and depression, but I take it day to day. To all my Nam brothers, you aren't alone. I've got your 6. You might also want to watch the official FFDP video "Coming Down" which is about another subject that is often glossed over.
I knew if the message of a video was important enough, you would give a 10. You did not disappoint. And I thank you.
Thank you David for doing this. As a vet who is dealing with the VA myself over medical benefits, having issues finding and keeping jobs, and I myself have spent time in a homeless shelter. it's complete bullshit, and these numbers are enraging. We have 100's of thousands of vets homeless on the streets, yet our government can fork out millions to house illegal immigrants without a second thought.
It isn't just housing too, its an entire program. It features housing, education including college, Child Tax Credit(10.5 Billion-2021) and medical care. Then you look at other stuff like we just gave $40 Billion in aid to Ukraine, $12 billion to the U.N. budget, more than $50 billion in aid to support NATO. We however cannot find anywhere in the budget a meager few million for vets in need, even just the homeless ones.
A lot of FFDP songs have significantly more impact when paired with the music video. "Gone Away" and "Coming Down" are two perfect examples of this if you haven't already you should react to them (Even if you already know the song).
I feel you, brother. Don't give in to the war within.
My dad is a Vietnam vet, 80 years old this past September. He had a heart surgery a few years ago and they had to literally tie him down in bed because the pain medicines made him have flashbacks. When he came home from the hospital my mom heard him shout, he'd thrown himself out of bed and was on the floor. She said, 'What happened?' He said "I thought I was in an attack...I...sorry, honey," and she helped him get back into the bed. He only ever tells us the funny stories about his service, never the serious stuff, but from those events I know he went through some major stuff he just doesn't want to share with family.
I love the message its like this All over the world. Veterans arent helped
This music video reminds me of the lyric video for sabatons-The end of the war to end all wars but this one feels way more depressing. It covers the brutality of ww1 while also stating facts about the war. I highly recommend you watch it as it actually has some interesting facts and helped me learn about my favorite historical war
'Thank you' to your brother. I appreciate anything he does serve our country.
Thank you, David. Somehow I missed this reaction. Well done! FEELIN' YOU!!!
FEELIN' YOU Patriot, C'mon Now!!!
I wish governments would react to these videos maybe it will stir up an empathy that will look after all military veterans..... respect to all who serve n thank you 🙏🖤🇬🇧
Your reactions are great and honest. Thought I knew a lot about music In my 65 yrs. Learned more from your reactions the way u break it down and point out the little things, found out I didn't know as much as I thought. Thank You for doing this reaction. MUCH RESPECT. Hope yr brother is doing alright
By the power of God I Bless You, your Brother, the rest of your Family, and ALL Veterans and their Families. It's NOT right our priorities in this country! We have a sickness that NEEDS to be cured. Someday, hopefully it will be. Take care, Everyone. With love.
I cry every time i watch this video, i think of my military family members who came home deployment, not quite the same, not being taken care of by va and unappreciated by the country they served for.. our vets should be put first before these people who are receiving all sorts of benefits just because they dont want to work..
I cry David everytime I watch this video and without the video alot of people wouldn't get it SAD BUT TRUE
I only served 3 yrs, never saw combat. Through other life trauma I too have some mild ptsd. This was the first music video I felt triggerd, and my emotions got the best of me. I cried out loud for the first time in yrs. The cinematography, the music, the way they wrapped in the story!......I grew up in a military home and if this is they're reality, I grew up rich and privlaged! The govmnt has failed its people
11:12am. Dave, I know guys hate to cry but seeing this side of you (both with this video and Disturbed’s Sound of Silence), I have a new found appreciation and respect for you. I lost my husband last year from cancer. He was a Navy Veteran and this song or video made us cry each time. Thank you for being so real. It’s refreshing
I'm so sorry for your loss, cancer is a terrible thing and something that needs to be eliminated.
Also, thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate them.
"We As A Nation Are Failing Our Military Veterans"
You're preaching to the choir on that one, Brother
I'm in total agreement with you on this
This song hits different when you have the video and the context.
I lost one friend in Afghanistan, one came home with severe PTSD.
They went on the mission I was supposed to go on, I was held back cuz my grand mother died the day before we were shipping out.
Now I have some weird sort of survivors guilt.
Had I been there maybe my friend wouldnt have died.
Its unlikely my precense wouldve made any difference...
But it doesnt stop me from thinking "but what if it wouldve".
😢
First of all, thank you to your brother brother for his service. This was probably the best yet hardest reaction to watch. I myself am not a veteran nor do I have PTSD, but my Dad is a Vietnam vet. Fortunately my Dad wasn't hit hard like others, though there is stuff my Dad never talks about and I never push him on the matter. I do see the toll it takes on Veterans whenever I go with my Dad to his appointments at the V.A. especially see the homeless hanging around the West L.A. VA hospital. Just there to be somewhere other that the streets.......I don't know what to say instead that just totally agreeing with what all you said.
Take care, stay safe.
P.S. another good one to check out is Metallica's "Confusion" off of the "Hardwired" album. It's a song about PTSD. The video also focuses on that, nothing like what FFDP did here, but still powerful.
My brother and I are both vets with ptsd. Our wives were talking one night (bro and I were drunk) and they were discussing how hard it is to wake us up. Turns out were both wake up in a fighting posture
Ps, I am crying while watching this and my dogs are trying to cuddle me
This song is DEEP MAN LOVE IT BUT I CRY EVERYTIME I HEAR IT
Well done 👏
you always hear about all the benefits we get lol I finished 21 years as a combat medic with multiple deployments, I retired after losing part of a lung, 5 shoulder surgeries, metal plates in my face and so on. I am listed at 100% disabled and I continue to work full time, all these "benefits" don't cover the Dr. Bills for my family because in our entire valley there are about 2 Dr.'s that accept the coverage we are "given" by the government and the 2 that accept it are full, not able to take anymore Veterans, I have paid a few thousand dollars over the past 2 years for healthcare. I dont care about me but I pushed through injuries' to last until retirement because "family members will be covered" but if i would have known how little is covered I would have left right after the injury and found a career path that would have taken care of them better. oh well, ty for the great reaction Sir.
Yeah... I was waiting for it.
That last line hits me just as hard every time. So sad that one of the mightiest countries are neglecting its veterans 😢
It shouldn't be like it.
Sadly, the number of veteran suicide is much higher now. It's known as "22 A Day." That's where the phrase "22 A Day is 22 too many" comes from. 8,030 veterans per year seems so insane but it's true!
I always liked the song, but the video makes it hit so much different. To the point that I ...I love the video. The video is necessary. But I almost don't want to watch it due to how powerfully it affects me. I don't know how someone watches that and doesn't come away pissed off, sad, and frustrated. And I was never military. My dad, grandfather, uncle, and cousin all were. After Vietnam, my dad didn't want me in the military. His experience as disillusioning, and he is a disabled vet. The main reason I watched this time is because you did it. I wanted to hear your thoughts. And you didn't disappoint. I am glad we're of similar opinons here. You look at this, then the fight that has to happen to get funding....that PACT act stuff. I don't get it. This type of help should be part of the Pentagon's budget, wouldn't you think? I don't know...I am just some guy. But I appreciated you doing this, David, and putting the numbers in the description was good.
You are a real one . Loved your reaction . As a combat vet this one hits me hard too . I’m subscribed to your channel
My two favorite songs about the evils of war and military service are this one, and "I was only 19."
If you haven't seen it Alan, you also need to see En Livstid I Krig (Live - The Great Tour - Gothenburg) by Sabaton. Another case of understanding what happens to soldiers.
This song is so amazing and emotional, The way the music fits with the message, Yeah bro is definitely gonna cry
Your probably gonna cry I do everytume and 5 funger death punch has done more for veterans than our own country
A very emotional video, these subtitles hit me, because I am also a military man
I'm a Vietnam Veteran, Thank you.
Thank you for this excellent reaction video, for not cutting it because of the emotion. You are correct, PTSD aint no joke, I remember watching daddy take cover when there were unexpected gun shots during a movie and he had violent nightmares, it was awful.
My favorite reaction..
Thank you..
Man you gotta do Black Sabbath Electric Funeral ✌🏻
This was good but sad at the same time
Can't love this enough. Thank you.
hope your brother is okay man , love your reviews so far. the military aint that big deal here in norway so i dont know how to react . but still , its not right veterans have to be treated like this.
Can't wait for you to watch gone away.
This song breaks me every time. More so today because of reasons :(
PTSD is a complicated issue... A friend of mine served in the French Foreign Legion and had to shoot child soldiers in Africa. Something like that will probably accompany you even in your next life, especially if you're smart enough to know that it's not the childrens fault. We can train soldiers to look a person in the face and shoot him. But we can't prepare their psyche for the consequences of that...
There's no shame in crying. Emotions like this only tells me that you care about this.
I'm not American, and even I cried the first time I saw this.
