A very tough and moving reaction that expresses how lots of us feel.
Appreciate you not only doing it, but also fighting to get it past the ban hurdles that kept getting tossed up by YT.
Hey man. This is Ben, the director of this video. I really appreciate your reaction and appreciate your service. Means a lot. Thank you!
The video was astounding and quite profound. Thank you for helping to get the important message it displays out there.
My cousin was home sick on 9/11 when 93 crashed less than 6 miles outside of his home. The shelves over his bed that held heavy books, trophies and other items that were hard with a lot of weight collapsed during the crash landing on his face and head. 33 surgeries, countless time working with mental health specialists, speech therapists and doctors has left him more or less the same. He had a TBI from the collapse and became a totally different person. Violent, unable to commnicate and easily flustered. He was court ordered to a long term care facility. He'll likely spend the rest of his life in there...breaks our hearts that he will never be the same and isn't living the life he wanted. He has times were he doesn't remember the people who were once so close.
My cousin on my moms side was called to serve 6 tours in Iraq. He also was never the same person. Loud noises, flashing lights, being in the dark...a lot of things messed with him. Horribly so but he never told us just how bad it was. He took his life just over 2 years ago. In his note, he talked about what war did to him. To be away from his girlfriend, daughter, his dog was enough but the stress of war was something our family didn't know about until it was too late.
Thank you for your masterpiece direction, Ben. The video moves me to tears with so many emotions like countless others experience. Your vision was beautiful and your art perfectly brought out. Thank you for giving families of war a relatable storyline. The hardest part was not knowing if my cousin would come back alive. The rising US casualties and nights wondering if he was ok that so many felt for loved ones sent to serve was captured so perfectly. You did an AMAZING job ❤ thank you.
The fact that both were forced to go and she made it back but the soldier on the other side didn't was gut wrenching to put it mildly. You are 100% right, nobody wins in war.
Even if both live, nobody wins mentally. I'm just as fucked up from my one deployment as finding out that my buddy borrowed a car a week after I got out and drove it at 110mph into a side rail. Killing him and destroying the car. I used to drive for him. The company literally asked me to keep an eye on him because his wife was trying to take everything. One week after I left he was gone.
@@masterv2041 I'm so sorry to hear that man. Thank you so much for your service. Lot of respect.
Banks win
im so sorry dude.. ive never been to war im still yound and im not religious but every single day i pray if a war breaksout i don't want to be alive for when its contemporary to sign up. i cant imagine how that was and still is for you, i may be just some random lad on a yt comment section but if you ever need anything just reply to this ill give you my social media and do my best to support you. love you man
This video has me in tears every time
My friend died a few days before being able to come home we were in the same grade and I believe I was one of the last contacts before their deployment last message that is saved in my phone is “thank you for everything I’ll be home eventually.”
It hurts that the situation that my friend died for made no difference in the global scale. Never mind the scale of one country.
God speed thanks for your open and honest reaction as always
I'm, not even a veteran (My dad is), and this video/song really hit hard, especially with how they showed BOTH sides of the war.
As a (medically) Retired Soldier, I am pissed that my brothers and sisters in arms I never had the chance to meet have died for a war that turned out to be a loss for everyone, but the ones we fought so hard for the past 20 years. I am, on one hand, glad that it is officially over. For now, hopefully for awhile but you never know.
I did 3 tours to Afghanistan myself and met my fiance on my second tour, who was also from Minnesota. The relationship started out great, but he became abusive and struggled with alcoholism from losing friends while on deployment, as well as I did. I struggled for years with alcohol, suicide, later diagnosed as suffering from PTSD and other mental illnesses, my fiance who was infantry deployed to Iraq he was on a mission and drove over an IED, blowing his leg off. I never heard from him again. Despite your political views on war in both countries, think about the soldiers who lost their lives defending our great nation. As a combat medic, wore me down hard, it was a challenge every day to get up and go to work. It all haunts me to this day. I miss all my friends who were killed and who committed suicide because of being in war and their families who no longer have them in their life. It's an intense video and a powerful song.
Thank you for your service sir I'm sorry you had to go through some stuff I can't imagine what you went through but I greatly appreciate your service 👏🙏
@@mmff7561 you too I appreciate your service from the bottom of my heart thank you for your service and your sacrifices that you made
I applaud you for doing this video because I couldnt. Multiple deployments in Afghanistan and the middle east. This, along with a few other videos set off triggers that put me back in countless firefights. Too many TICs, too many brothers not coming home. It's videos like this that put me back in those places and it's hard to deal with, it's hard to face. As you said there are no winners. I mean, I guess you can say my family won because they have me, but at what cost?
Couldn't have said better...
I watched this video for the first time today at work on my lunch break, and fuck I had tears just like you did sir. This one hits tough.
This song killed me. My heart breaks when I see the video. Thank you for everything you did.
Every time I see these reactions regarding your country and the militaryservice it breaks my heart. I’m fortunate to live in Norway, and we as a country has strong ties to America, but I have also seen how the «land of the free» has gone down and under since Iraq. It’s really sad to see, because it feels like the people in the US don’t want it to be like this.
I pray that your politicians will come together and find a new path for your citizens, you all deserve better.
Much love from Tromsø, Norway.
I have seen and listened to this song/video countless times before, but every time it makes me cry. I am not a veteran and have never served. My parents are not veterans. I have never personally known anyone who was. Recently I met this girl and she's amazing. Her name is Shabnam, and she was born and raised in Afghanistan. Her English is not the best as Persian is her native tounge. Yet she is one of the kindest, sweetest and bravest people I have ever had the joy of meeting. I cannot fathom what she experienced over there, but I know that America is still really surprising to her. I never thought that I would meet anyone who opened up my view like she has. She has made me realize some of the pretty crappy things on both sides of these stupid conflicts. And I am proud to say that she- one of my best friends- has changed me for the better.
Had to check it out now since I was on your live stream and you mentioned it love all the content keep up the good work
Semper avanti
My buddy was in the army, he shot the big guns.. I showed him this video..he had the same reaction.
Goddamn. We are all fighting for what we are told
This song is so heart wrenching but thank you so much
I got a tear and the video hasn't started..This one hits..Never forget brother
HEY I JUST SAW YOUR REACTION. YOUR WORDS ARE HEART TOUCHING
Epic reaction/video/story. I can see how this has hit the soul. God bless you
Im just now seeing this video... got to just say this song and your reaction to, it is something that I realize that Im not the only one who has been battling with this situation. Thank you so much for relating.
100% truth brother
This song is such amazing song the video always makes me cry...
This reaction was so powerful, so meaningful, so strong & very emotional,
I will say I do not know what it feels like to be in a military am only 26,
& I do not know what goes on nor the meaning behind it but I felt this reaction I felt the emotional,
I loved your reaction & am the person who has a heart but also don't pay attention to the news, because in my opinion they are lies & B.S. other than that thank you for your service & thank you for this reaction.
I got deployed in OEF HOA. A peacekeeping mission turned into two straight weeks of firefights on the streets. We were just setting up for a big group to bring in food. Keeping in mind this is the same place we were dealing with in the 90's.
Thanks for serving, it's a hard job, I served myself and it has been pure hell for me now that I am no longer in the Army. I have more bad days than good. I'm a loner and do my own thing, but I miss the friends I lost in combat and to suicide. AATW!!
@@mmff7561 I hear you. I got hurt pretty badly on that deployment. Got medically retired. 50% of the time I'm running on autopilot. Lost a close friend to combat; lost his wife, another close friend to suicide 4 months later. 2 of my buddies went to Ukraine, haven't heard from them in 4 weeks. Semper Fi.
i'm genuinely surprised by your words in contrast to what other veterans have to say. you look at it from both sides which seems so simple but ends up being so rare. you are so correct and i feel your pain even if i can never personally know the depths of it. this video took a lot from you but i deeply appreciate you posting it
absolutely love this song, after i saw the video i haven't been able to listen to it, i knew before i saw it that it was military leaving and stuff but no where near this sad. I prevail are so good with how they produce music and the videos they put out for each song. thank you to anyone in the services whether you're british, american, french wherever you may be i fully support you
God bless you brother
First time I have ever seen one of your reactions but I have to say that you made me cry more then once. I know, not very manly buy it was an amazing reactions. I felt your pain that not that I could ever relate as I never been where you are
Yhank you for your service, I heard about your channel, thought I'd check it out.
This video right here had me tearing up knowing that both sides lost something and really I just feel that this song really spoke that both sides will lose a piece of themselves in war, nobody wins in the end
Please do more I Prevail🙏🏻
Wow I just found this song and I instantly thought about your reaction to 5FDP's video and thought I wonder.........and here it is!!! I'm a new follower so forgive my tardiness, but part of what draws me in to your reactions is not only the good/"hey look this is fun" reactions but these emotional ones too that remind us we are humans.....and so are those on the other side of conflict, be human
I am so sorry man I am not a Veteran but I feel yr pain I don’t gave a s about the tv I agree all of what you said and I have autism so it’s a lot harder to deal with so with said thank you for Serving and I love yr videos they gave good vibes keep doing what yr doing but I know yr pain I watched the 9 11 video and I cried my eyes out it makes you wonder what it’s like to lose everything but great video I love u man and I hope u do more videos because I need to let out my feels 😭
Love the video and your reaction, the message you state is what they are attempting to achieve. No one ever truly wins. It's heartbreaking. We all lose in the end if political issues continue to push us to do what we don't want to do knowing it is not right. Much respect Brother!
I respect You for it . I got family out fighting Still even generations after and It’s rough not knowing what call It’s next if It’s from them or someone telling us our loved one is passed 😢
I see you, brother... I see you...
great song but the video makes me cry im a 91b and this hits really hard for all military
Chills. I love this SO much. Instantly, I felt your pain, every emotion, seeing your face as you watch the video, broke my heart. Thank you and each and every person in the military, Thank you to their families, more than anything we need to support them specially now. I can't agree with you more. No one wins, and I couldn't believe what we left there, tons and tons of dogs, gave them all expensive equipment, I don't even know how much money we gave them, I honestly feel like it's a slap in each and every military persons face, it breaks my heart to see how Biden and Hillary ( Clinton with the Bengazi and 13 of our military that died, she never once checked on any of their families, said sorry for your losses, sorry that its her fault. )Pelosi are treating our Selflessness Heroes. Thank you so much for doing this video, thank you so much for your sacrifices and all you did for us, I'm forever grateful. More people need to see this, maybe it would wake more people up and actually open their eyes and see reality, the truth. I will continue to share this and really look forward to your next videos.
This video, alone next to the others you mentioned. Break me down. I am a vet as well, and… it hits home. So.. yeah.
I fee ya on this on Bro.
Hell yeah! Medics lead the way...to surviving! 💓 Bless, dawg, y'all were the best during my time in. Hilarious, focused, and personable. As a cook, I spent about 1/4 of my TIS hanging out with them, at the least.
Feels like we lost our soul for nothing.. Atleast it does to me..
Esse vídeo clipe foi o mais intenso que já vi 😭💔
Pqp
This video ripped my heart out 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔💔💔💔💔💔 innocent families suffering 💔
This man needs to run for president
Powerful video with a powerful reaction. It doesn't matter how many times I see this......I cry like a baby every time. They are tears of sadness and tears of anger.
subbed
I had a high school friend who was killed in combat. Our whole community came together to remember his life. He was selfless and put himself in harms way willingly to protect our country. What happened with the whole pull out of our troops was just awful. It makes so many people wonder why so many were sacrificed for nothing. He could still be here with us today.
sweet set up
They did a fantastic job touching on the multiple things here that isn't always portrayed in media, interracial couples, women in combat, and for this video most importantly, the other side. The NAZIs also pressured people into roles they rather not be in, sure the SS were pieces of shit, but there were people like this guy that didn't really want to fight, this guy being a father and husband like myself, seen as the enemy for obvious reasons and how could those troops have known otherwise in what was depicted? Then he gets killed and now we have a widowed wife and some children that lost a father, which is the terrible commonplace in war, both sides, and airstrikes blew up how many innocent people in warzones? Casualties there were certainly higher, but suicide is still destroying American families also, really a shame.
I agree with you. The Dept. of VA has seen a high increase of veteran suicides over the years. Alot of soldiers diagnosed with PTSD, along with addiction and other mental illnesses. It's a powerful video and song, no I didn't cry, but it is reality.
Painful for both sides. God loves all of you still
To quote Green Fields of France
" and i can't help but wonder oh willy mcbride
do all those who lie here know why they died
did you really believe them when they told you the cause
did you really believe that this war would end wars
well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
the killing and dying it was all done in vain
oh willy mcbride it all happened again
and again, and again, and again, and again"
Thanks for showing vulnerability!
Some people tend to forget in war everyone's still human on both sides were fighting for the same thing every soldier has left somebody they loved
Only 5% In Russia is human.
personally, as an OIF veteran myself, I try to remember the good we managed to do while we were there, and hope it outweighs the shit in the end. as an infantryman, I saw and did a lot, but it's always the 1% that fucks it up for everyone else.
My fiance was Infantry out of Fort Bragg, 82nd AD, 504th PIR and went to RANGER school, he was struck by an IED while in Iraq and had his leg blown off, the sad part is I never heard from him again. If he did survive he would of contacted me, but never got a phone call or letter.
Not sure why you hate this video, it brings to the forefront what people in battle plus their loved ones endured, not to mention those caught in the crossfire. There are NO WINNERS in WAR, you brought that to light, love your passion, regardless of any political views. Glad you're out of there.
Um who said I hate this video?
@@OldSkuleNerd you did. Not hate as in "this video sucks" but as in "I hate how true this is and it brings me back" I assume but one could misunderstand that
He said it BUT he said he loved the band and the song but he's just not huge on the video. Seems he can 100% relate to the pain portrayed. You can say hate loosely especially for something that stirs up what you think were old emotions. I could listen to one song all day long but won't watch the video because there's a portrayal of a dog being put to sleep. Watching it takes me right back to when I had to have my dog put to sleep. It's meant to stir feelings up but it's too rough personally to watch because it's relatable to times very rough times I've lived through. That's where it seems like he's coming from.
@@misfitbrit1989 I agree 100%. Well said Britt.
@@effyj44 thank you
In war, there are no winners.. 🫶
Some loose themselves, others family... Almost always because they want to protect their family/country/beliefs... And are they or the cause/outcome better off.. NEVER
Oh there’s winners for sure. All the politicians
war sucks lets just talk to each other instead...war we all lose a little piece of ourselves
Please react to “hero of war” by rise against!!
Why we have to fight😢 sad
I cant listen to certian songs cause it brings things back that im trying to let go of
How to save a life

Songs like these are hard to listen to for me.
I remember when I got medically discharged from Camp Pendleton in the middle of boot camp then I come home and found out that we withdrew from Afghanistan and what pissed me off was that I couldve been in someone else’s seat to be part of the withdraw for defense humanitarian efforts whatever. I was ready to defend my fellow American next to me and then later on thought what about the people in the past those who actually played a part in the War. What was I ready to go fight for? what were they fighting for? what was I about to take over from another Marine, Soldier, Airman, & Sailor? It made no sense that this war happened only for us to withdraw not to mention for the countless civilians on the other side and on our side 20 years ago til now. Who won? What was the losses for?
We fight their wars. While the politicians play games.
Please react to believe by neffex
I'm gonna assume guy here is either from New Orleans, lives there, or has some tie to it. 🤔
I know exactly what you mean by "they are tribal". As you said, you don't mean prim, you mean that the order of the day, most days, is that "my group is Afghani, and I'm against these others who try to say that THEY are Afghani." It's like the States and their blind devotion to religion, or political parties. "Oh, they aren't REAL Christians" or "They ain't real repubs/dems", Rino's and Dino's.
We are ALL still human beings! Even if we have our disagreements, that takes naught away from the very simple, yet endlessly intricate, fact that we're human. Feel how you like, but do not discount facts.
I know, I know, third comment. Please bear with me. I'm smart sometimes.
I still say that the international forces present should have scuttled every last piece of equipment provided by the US or international allies. The Afghani Security Forces didn't even know how to operate the machinery, so why bother leaving it intact? You think they're gonna just suddenly learn by osmosis or have some revelation as to how to properly operate a tank, jet, or whatever? No. In fact, that same tribalism is what's crushing the country of Afghanistan. If only they would reconcile differences and come together as countrymen, THEN I think they'd have a shot at burying the talis
One Problem I Have With This Music Video Is That It's Comapring The Resistance Who Are Definding Thir Country With Usa Who Is The Invader That Isn't Ok If The Usa Didn't Invade These Counries There Wouldn't Have Been A Need For Resistance, Also They Way They Show The Middle Eastren's House Is The Peak Of Racasim I Don't Know Anyone Who Lives In A House Like This Other Than Very Very Poor People
I’m gonna do a react to this video cuz you are completely wrong on every “fact” you’ve said. Did you even serve!?!
