My great grandfather a navy cross recipient was written up for the award by Dan Daly and they became very good friends
Any stories you can tell us that aren’t already public or like little known facts? I’m assuming your telling the truth & if so? AWESOME, great grandfather was a beast if he got the navy cross & friends w Dan Daly. Best of luck in life
@@scotthill1600 I’d have to talk to my uncles since he’s the one who taught me all this stuff however I have a letter from Daly to my great grandfather regarding a self defense shooting he got in when he was at a gas station off base in Pendleton supporting his character which my great grandfather won the case but was kicked out the Marine corps only to reenlist into the army air corps and would be stationed at Pearl Harbor for years into the Pearl Harbor bombing.
Wow
That is awesome!
I still say the Germans surrendered on what would become Veteran's Day because they found out it was Dan Daly's birthday, and they were scared how he was going to celebrate it that year.
Yup, we need Nic to tell us these for real stories. They need to be passed along and remembered. Thanks, Nic.
The funny thing is from what I gathered from accounts is Dan Daly said afterwards he didn't remember saying "Come on you SOBs! Do you want to live Forever?", but the various Marines who witnessed his actions on that day were very adamant that he did say it.
Legend says in that precipitous moment, Dan became far more than just himself as a man, but the living embodiment of the Marine Corps itself, and was possessed of Gods providence to destroy evil and lead good men against said evil in an assured victory.
I've studied history in The Netherlands and this topic was discussed at a serious level! 'Why did'nt the Americans retreat?' The phrase 'Retreat? Hell, we just got here!' was also mentioned. Some historians argue that they did'nt retreat because the Americans did'nt know how horrific those battles were and the low morale of the Germans after years in the trenches. But I found out morale was actually high in the German army at that time. They just never faced US soldiers before and were surprised by their strong abillity to fight. And in a way those soldiers did live forever. In the history books. ❤
"He recieved the Metal of Honor... twice? Goodness Gracious, let's see how he got that." He got them with Great Balls of Fire, obviously 😂
Dan Daly and Smedley Butler, two Marines with Two Medals of Honor
@@ColtinEddy ye Shady they used proper valor to change the law so everybody only gets 1 anymore
Key word being BALLS !!!!
If your related to General Patton, then you are somewhat (potentially) related to the Greatest Marine of all time as well. General Lewis B “Chesty” Puller and General George Patton were second cousins.
Also, I had two relatives that fought at Belleau Wood - including my Great Grandfather and a distant uncle. My Uncle was an LT and then a Captain with 1/5 and 1/6 Marines. He would later lead the 5th Marine Division at Iwo Jima (he was the Commanding General of the Division itself, not the entire campaign). One of many reasons I joined the Marines back in 2009.
Marines are built mad different ♡
@@akilahcopeland559 No, we are created and molded into Marines. This history is drilled into every Marine and we are tested on it. Every Marine knows those quotes. We come from the same gene pool as every other branch after all.
@@criminalattorneymn Is that not the definition of "built"?
Some background facts about some of the events mentioned here:
Private Daly wasn't actually left completely alone at the Legation Center in Peking, but he WAS the only marine assigned to guard that particular approach to the building, and the other marines guarding the building were unable to leave their posts to back him up for fear of letting the rebels just walk right in from another direction and start slaughtering the civilians.
More than anything else, the Boxer Rebellion's particular hatred for Christian missionaries (and indeed the distrust of Christianity that is common in Chinese culture to this day) is mostly France's fault. After the Opium Wars, the Western Powers dictated terms to the Chinese Emperor at gunpoint, and one of France's terms was that Christians would be immune to prosecution in China. This was meant to curb persecution that had been happening already to Chinese Christians, but the inevitable result is that every two-bit rapist, murderer and bandit converted to Christianity and became above the law overnight. This lead to the popular perception in China that Christianity was an evil religion that brought horror, criminality, corruption and hardship wherever it went. The moral of the story? Well, considering how some of France's other historical treaty negotiations and demands have gone (looking at you, Versailles) I think the lesson here is "never let the French negotiate peace, because they WILL fuck it up for everyone."
During the night when Dan Daly recovered his company's machine gun from the bottom of that river, what TFE didn't mention is that he encountered three rebel scouts and had to quickly and silently kill them in CQC with his combat knife to keep them from alerting their buddies that he was there. Then, Daly calmly went back to fishing the machine gun out of the water like nothing happened. That encounter was a big part of why he won his second MoH.
The Fat Electrician's early videos were about military jobs and equipment, and were much shorter. You could react to two or three of these per episode.
Fun fact. The Indiana Jones scene happened because Harrison Ford was sick and didn't want to do the take so pulled out his pistol with blanks and the stunt guy went with it
Fat Electrician: I don’t know what the logic was behind that one.
Me: Logic and military? Doc we already know those are two things you don’t do in service. Put logic in the military.
Legendary member of the Marines.
You might also like to know that The Fat Electrician is also a co-host on a podcast called the Unsubscribe Podcast.
Y'all should also check out his vid on the eager beavers, the DH98 mosquito, the limping lady, or on the RAF's legless antihero
As requested. He just started a new channel with censored videos, school kid friendly. TFE censored
love it... legendary british battle cries would be shakespearen in contrast to our brothers over pond...bluntley direct threat with profanities and heroic actions..heroes
That quote up is carved into the marble frieze at the Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico, Virginia .
You need to check out “The Eager Beavers/ Old 666”. I got emotional
unrelated to Daly's story, just the movie clip of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. @10:24 'ish
During the shoot of that scene it was supposed to be a long drawn out fight scene. However that morning Harrison Ford woke up with a 103 or 104'ish fever. Not wanting or feeling like having to do an extended action scene he did what common sense would tell any man who was facing down a sword wielder would do if he had a gun on his side....just shoot him an walk away. LOL
It was a bit of improv due to health reasons and worked amazingly well in the movie.
Not only did he win the CMH twice, he was nominated 3 times, and is single handedly responsible for the law that says you can now only win it once.
This is one of only 3 things that Fat Electrician has done videos on that I actually new something about, lol.
Y'all gotta watch the one about Lewis Millet, dude was insane
When I served in the Army from 2010-2020, I remember a Sgt Major of the Army Daily. If my memory serves me right, he was the youngest E9-3 ever and changed regs for us, such as, sleeved tats, ankle socks during PT and running with headphones in to name a few. Pretty sure I remember when meeting him, that him and this Marine Daily are related.
u should check a review that he makes called American's Freedom Fighter - Lewis Millet - "Fix Bayonets that soldier is the most badass soldier ever , u wont belive the story that soldier is one in a millenium
Thank you for sharing these great stories! 😂 I love this channel and your reaction to it!
27:02 when his videos drop, well that's a highlight of my week
And to think Dan Daly and the most decorated Marine missed serving together in WW1 by a few months. I really hope that TFE does a video on him.
Love your reactions to TFE . You guys have great energy. Thank you!
I heard about Dan Daly when I was little from my uncle that is a Marine. He also taught me and his son how to catch fish barehanded when we were little too❤
And that's why you hang around for the end credits on the fat electricians videos
I’ve seen most of the videos you’ve reacted to, but to see your reactions and hear your commentary makes it even more entertaining.
Cheers!
Anyone interested in movies based on this, . . .
The Silent Film "Tell It To The Marines" (1926) has Lon Chaney playing A character very much based on Daly.
And "55 Days at Peking" (1963) is about the Boxer Rebellion.
Both were top tier films in their day.
How I wish that Nic and Sabaton had been around when I went to school..this is the way to learn about history!
Missionaries: " This is not what we meant when we wanted to make them more holy"
Dan: " Yeah they definitely are holy alright"
Sabaton’s song Devil Dogs says it best about Belleau Wood, “Five times attacked and five times repelled on the sixth they managed to break the line.”
for the next story check out the limping lady or the mosquito or the eager beavers
The eager beavers is amazing. And the limping lady is one of his most underrated videos.
Marines are bad ass! 👏👏👏👏👏
Making masculinity great again! 💪
The Fat Electrician missed his calling as a history teacher! Classes would have to be held in an auditorium it would be so popular!
Took my brother who is a Marine to Bellau Wood . It was surreal. If you get the chance, take the trip.
This is how history should be taught. In 20 minutes he teaches you exploits in a amazing way that keeps you looking for more. Every kid in my high school would've enjoyed it.
You guys should react to Operation Paul Bunyan. aka World War Tree
Not going to lie the Society of the Righteous and Harmonious Fist is a bad ass culture appropriate name. Outside of gunfights I am sure they were elite badass level martial artists.
"Look for the big building on the big ass wall.
(Lieutenant, probably): Huh?
NCO: oh shit..."
Awards are awarded by rank last I seen 20 years ago. I was awarded a Bronze Star with a V after I lead a Section of Recon Scouts during a complex ambush and got all my Soldiers out with only 1 minor injury and we still killed 9 enemy with 2 captured. I was really thankful about that. 1SG later on told me that it was originally submitted for a Silver Star with a V but because I was a E5 it didn't fit 4ID's policy on awards so it was downgraded.
Interesting fact about the Indiana Jones scene. Originally it was supposed to be a sword fight between Jones and the sword, dude who was an actual swordsman that was hired but due to the actor getting some kind of got infection? I can’t remember exactly what it was. He wasn’t fair enough to actually participate in the scene so they replaced it with the infamous dancing.
They must of had a LT butter bar leading them
Shelby Foote was once asked (paraphrasing) What piece if modern military equipment do you think General Lee would have wanted at Gettysburg. Shelby answered, A Walkie Talkie.
Any time someone mentions "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog" I can't help but think that the chihuahua proves it wrong.
Gotta check out OVERSIMPLIFIED-THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION!!!
You guys should do the WWII vet vs HOA! Van T. Barfoot
It's a class we take in boot camp, with some tests, unsure that it still exists. My service is around 30 years ago now.
When I enlisted in 93 the Corps still did it, in fact one of the things we'd do to pass the time later on was bet FNG's on how much Marine Corps history and lore they remembered from boot, did that until I mustered out in 2010, great way to build a repour with a lot of the younger Marines and to take their minds off the shit we were all in during different deployments. As an NCO its not only your duty but moral obligation to look after your younger brothers by keeping an ear open to their troubles. Worked when I was an 0311, an 0321 and with FORECON and both prior to and after you ran with them outside the wire.
@@jericho1-4 Nice, good that you look out for the younger Marines. Happy about that actually.
He should have gotten it a 3rd time but they made a law to stop a three time award
Depends on if the horses are strunk down, keeping their mass because then you can't just kick to kill.
Eisenhower may have had one of his own men in mind when he said that. Audey Murphy was about that same size.

I support your suggestion for a TFE tour, call it the "Unhinged TED Talk Tour". 😀 But I guess that's kinda what he's doing when he appears on the Unsubscribe Podcast. 😛
Nic is a freaking awesome national treasure in my opinion. I love military history, and this dude teaches me new things every fricking video.
Harrison ford was supposed too fight that dude but was sick with food poisoning and was not feeling that.
I heard it 103 degree fever with flu.
With how much he was shooting, gonna guess he had to change out barrels during this fight.
Col. Bob Howard was put in 3x for the MOH for Vietnam Service along with receiving 8 Purple Hearts. He was a SOG dude.
"do you want to live forever";was said by Valeria in Conan the barbarian. Long be before starship troopers.
Tom Custer, brother of George Armstrong Custer, was awarded the Medal of Honor twice for actions in the Civil War.
😎 cool...patton was one more bad ass...62 year old former marine from south carolina
Sounds similar to "The Sand Pebbles" with Steve McQueen.
For a video to watch I recommended the video on the eager beavers and old 666
Review "America's Freedom Fighter - Lewis Millet."
I feel like Master Cheif from Halo is based of this guy
General Patton's grandfather's house is still standing in Charleston, WV. It's called the Craik-Patton house. Gen. Patton learned tactics from Turner Ashby, AKA the Grey Ghost.
Fat Electrician does get one thing wrong. Dan Daly was 25 when he enlisted, NOT 16 - and 26-27 in the Boxer Rebellion.
love u guys reaction , u guys should check a review that he makes called American's Freedom Fighter - Lewis Millet - "Fix Bayonets that soldier is the most badass soldier ever , u guys wont belive the story
Please react to John A Chapman first ever recorded Medal of Honor. ❤
World War Tree, guys. You'll be cracking up.
Gen Bradley kin here .. Patton met his wife through Bradley I was told like his own 3 rd cousin as fam lore goes
Read the book "Guns of the South" by Harry Turtledove. An alternative history along the lines of your comment.
Can Dan Daly get his deserved Metal of Honor?? Post humerus?
Yea, wait til you hear why he only got 2. . .
The Sand PEBBLES Steve McQueen
Look up the Fat Electrician's bit on Operation Paul Bunyan, or the time NK nearly started WW III over a tree.
If you want to scrub the youtube video, if you press the left and right arrows, it'll reverse and advance the video by 5 seconds. Easier than trying to do it with the mouse. :)
To your comment on your friend probably knowing... simply say "Two metals of Honor". I promise he will know EXACTLY who you are talking about, and will be able to tell you of the three other times he got lesser awards.
less machine gun fire take popcorn out of the microwave oven lol lol
Saving the best ones for last.....?.......
5th Generation GGF faught in the Revolutionary War (2nd Btn 2nd Continental Army North Carolina) He was K.I.A. after Cornwallis' surrender with loyalist
Navy Seabee. All Seabees are trained in Warfare, and every Seabee Battalion has a Marine assigned to it. Train every year for a month at a Marine Base. Seabees never take shit from Marines. Many brawls, many.
Most of those "brawls" I either witnessed or was apart of was due to Seabee's not having their weapon close enough if an engagement broke out. I understood you guys were more build this or demo that but if shit pops off we Marines may need you guys to join the fight toot fucking sweet. If you haven't seen it yet you should check out The Fat Electricians covering of the Wake Island fight during WW2 were your brothers from history started to build your legend as not only builders and demo but kick ass fighters who fought along side their Marine brethren and something like a hundred civilian contracted construction workers. Great story truth be told.
Men from the time when ships were made of wood and men were made of iron.
I wonder Sgt Mjr Daily as President if his time was today
Your related to Patton, im related to peiper. Look his history up, got one hell of a conspiracy for you about it
My new channel
Daniel your names that you choose for yourself for these videos they are hilarious
Hopefully Fat Electrician and ETS21 get to learn about ROBERT BLAIR ( PADDY ) MAINE.
Nic is a regular on the Unsubscribe podcast too.
You didn't react to the final Blackadder 3 episode only for the patreons, did you? :(
8:35 I think their is a CZcamsr who does this sort of "what if" time travel content. Can't remember his name though.
The Bee Gees are brothers Barry was the lead I think one was Maurice not sure about the other one then they have younger brother named Andy Barry gibb has written more hits than most people no about look up just his writing credentials writhe the soundtrack for Saturday night fever movie John travolta stared 1976
You should watch the time America stole a German U-boat from him
If you want to learn more about history like this one. You guys need to react to SABATON. Is the most epic history metal band around. Devil Dogs which is the Dan Daily story, Bismarck and no bullet fly are 3 songs that will give you a history lesson like the Fat Electritian. The videos are fantastic.
We've done one already on our sister channel, Embrace The Globe 21, the channel is linked in the description 😊
@@EmbraceTheSuck21 subscribing right now. Thank you. This Marine appreciates your reactions 🫡
I googled who has been the recipient of two medals of honour and there was a whole list of people who have so I must have missed heard the beginning when he said there were only two people who had won two
Only two members of the USMC were awarded multiple Medals of Honor. TFE did not include other branches when he listed the two recipients.
MoH is different per branch. USMC MoH is hard af to earn. There's some questionable army awards I've read in the past.
@@Stargonith right OK I get it now, this guy was absolutely insanely brave and a true hero
@@peternash7104 I, in my personal opinion think the current day tragedy of how the Navy tried to screw Sgt John Chapman out of his MOH if the Seal teams Commander he was operating with didn't get one too was disgustingly dishonorable ESPECIALLY since the majority of that event was captured by a CIA predator drone. Far as I know that commander tried several times to have his name and or the citation removed, weather that was while they were trying to get it for him or because of the blowback from almost everyone later on is unknown but I'll give a "Shooter" the benefit of the doubt, the flag officers, no fucking chance do they get that same courtesy after the details all dropped.
Name one state besides Texas that loves their state flag as much as Marylanders.
Maryland Is A Cult, Not A State
@@EmbraceTheSuck21the flag, the Old Bay/crabs, hell my profile pic is a PRS guitar famously made in Maryland. Yeah, kinda culty.
Also RIP Lefty Drisell
Ok I love the content that TFE puts out but of the few things he gets wrong in some videos here, some videos there. He gets Daly's age wrong quite abit in this throughout the video, there are absolutely more than two marines who have gotten the medal of honor twice, not counting all the other service members who have gotten it twice, I think he messed up a year or two somewhere too, and sadly, despite what some people still wish to believe, it has been proven to a point that the term "Devil dog" never came from the germans, the first recorded mention of it was an american printed newspaper, and there is no evidence that germans ever called the marines that.
I've come across an interesting discrepancy doing research of my own after reading this comment. The Medal of Honor Society does indeed list a few other Marines as having been award two Medals of Honor. However, The U.S. Department of Defense, as well as the Marine Corps University and the Military Times Hall of Valor all state that Smedley D. Butler and Dan Daly were the only two Marines to ever be awarded with two medals. So I can very easily see why that would be confusing to anyone doing research.
@@KairiPrimeThere are a few places that mention other Marines though I will admit I did not look at the department of defense
TFE made 2 mistakes here though, Daly was 26 or 27 at the boxer fight, not 18, and 2nd he was not the only one guarding the refugee's it was 3 machinegun squads but the first 2 got overrun quickly, leaving Daly to fend on his own.
Oh and sorry boy's the germans did not name the marines the devil dogs, they already had that nickname before this battle.
My genetic family tree is weird I'm related to Napoleon Bonaparte Davy Crockett Elvis bunch of politicians and I think Andrew Jackson one of our crazier early presidents
dude on the right is a bobble head
