Toby Keith - American Soldier | Irish Couple REACTION!

[@cgilleybsw]

early on in the First Gulf War, a reporter asked a USARMY general if the people of the USA understood the sacrifice soldiers made. This general had two active duty sons - in combat - with a DIL - in combat. He didn't miss a beat, "No, they have no idea..." Two of my sons served 8 combat tours combined. Outside the wire. Very few understand what it means to watch the news every night and wonder where your sons are. We were blessed - one scratch in all those years. My sons - and many many others - went to basic knowing they were going to war.

RIP Toby... thank you for writing and singing songs about our men and women that fight everyday for our freedom.

I’m a Texan from the USA I have every branch in my family except Coast Guard my father was 21 years army. My uncle was 31 years Air Force my husband and my son served in the Navy when my dad was being shipped out I know exactly how those kids feel, I have 10 brothers and sisters and we went through it all. It’s not just the soldiers who serve but the families as well not only does the wife have to do everything on her own but the kids have to help mom as well so they don’t get their kids time that they should get, it’s not just a soldiers it’s entire family that serves, and they do it with honor and pride, especially for the USA❤❤❤❤

Makes sense. Most people, even Americans, don't realize we Texans make up 13% of all US military. #TexanPride

4 generations in my family have served, and my oldest grandson is starting ROTC next school year and wanting an active-duty career. A military career is hard on the family too.

I think this is Toby's best song! Everytime I watch it or just hear it I tear up. Can't help it the song is so powerful

[@lindawhite5006]

RIP Toby! Army Vet song gets to me every time I hear it. Honor to see you supporting the troops and veterans in Afghanistan.

Another great song about the soldier's experience is: Trace Adkins "Till the Last Shot's Fired" with the West Point Glee Club. He performed this song at the Country Music Awards (CMAs). It is especially touching when you realize that the West Point Glee Club is composed of cadets from the United States Military Academy at West Point each of whom upon graduation will serve in the United States Army for at least 4 years. Trace Adkins also has a song entitled "Arlington" which is sung from the viewpoint of a soldier, killed in battle and buried at Arlington National Cemetery. It was inspired by United States Marine Corps Corporal Patrick Nixon, who died in battle in 2003.

Aussie combat vet
R.I.P Big Dawg we’ll never see your kind again.

[@thomasbrasher4478]

if you are a soldier and you go to war you never come back the same and everything is different i struggle with ptsd and not the same with people now

My daughter would wake me with a broom stick so that she didn't have to get too close if my wife sent her up to get me up for breakfast.

For military stories I would suggest anything from the fat electrician. He is a great story teller, funny, and he doesn't mind reactions, he welcomes them. If you do though, I would suggest that you don't skip his sponsor ads, often they are amusing, and they are short. And watch about 10 seconds after he says quack bang out. He often leaves a gem at the end. For music, you're on the right track 😊

[@Unstable_TV]

Thanks for letting us know about his channel 😁☘️

[@dessatt]

@@Unstable_TV i've actually seen small channels grow reacting to this guy. Also, some of those smaller channels have said that they went from a few hundred to a few thousand likes and/or views. A lot of us enjoy watching others discover his channel. I'd suggest operation preying mantis, or world war tree. There aren't a lot of reactions to world war tree out there. Also, his video on the USS texas is very short... I think it's at most 3 minutes from his days on tic toc

[@joannsalas]

I do have family members who are vets. They sacrificed a great deal, it's a beautiful song!

[@Unstable_TV]

It’s east to forget that war is more than just war!

[@maryflorio8450]

One of the worst factors of military deployments is the family doesnt know where their loved one is going because the operations are classified. Sometimes the military member doesn't know where theyre going. I know because i spent 20 years in the USAF.

[@Unstable_TV]

What was that like?

[@jamiepuente481]

Great musician, great patriot, not a soldier.

[@arandomwrath9171]

I think the biggest misunderstood part is just how many soldiers the U.S has forward deployed at all time compared to any other country. Even in non-combat zones, it quintuples literal armies.

We love ur reaction vids! My husband is retired military (Marine Corps + Army) and from the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma. If ur interested in learning more about the US military, check out The Warrior Tradition which tells the ongoing and relatively untold story of American Indians' military service. It's not a music video but I think you'll appreciate hearing about things like why they serve, how the Navajo language played a key role in WWII, and more. czcams.com/video/SGAEfijaqiY/video.htmlsi=FBpZk6Z0CSa-4RTc

[@Unstable_TV]

Thank you so much for sending this to us, we will definitely be watching that soon, it’s seems really interesting!
Because the length of the video, if we react on it, it’ll have to be in 2/3 parts!

[@ConnemaraGirl]

@Unstable_TV Ah-ho / Go raibh maith agat! For perspective when u watch it, tribal members proudly served the US military, fought and died in the US wars long before they were granted American citizenship in 1924.
