You need to beg your government to join NATO since everybody else is doing it and if you’re part of NATO, then we protect everybody within NATO
@@roosterslounge1697what are you on about
Heyyy the viewer its me hahaha i love you Adam!!
We would have no reason to throw rocks at our cousin’s house.
The fighting Irish (Catholic) is a part of the American Spirit.
Family gets a little muddled when it comes to migrants yearning to succeed in the US.
In the way back days there were Irish Cop Gangs and Italian Gambling Mobsters (gingers and greasers).
I’m pretty sure that some of the BillyBoys that came over from Ireland ended up in our Appalachian Mountains and just stayed HillBillies.
You should watch the videos by the fat electrician
Hey bro, as a former Army sergeant, I gotta correct something he said. We take the Army physical fitness test twice a year. Also, as it pertains to the stealth bomber, he didn't mention the fact that is sends supersonic waves to the ground so that you can't hear it as it flies over you. I saw one when I stationed at Fort Bliss, Tx. Not only is it badazz looking, you couldn't hear it! Good video mate! Cheers!
They must not send those waves when they do flyovers, seen a couple at arrowhead and that shit was loud
aren't you a specialist 😂😂

Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
Yep
The United States Navy is the second largest Air Force in the world..
So cool!
@@MoreAdamCouserAdam where are you from? My bad forgot you were Irish cos you have British and UK on everything which is technically correct but I'd be proud to say Irish
The United States inactive Museum Ships make up the second largest naval fleet in the world
@@kmcd3020I'm not entirely sure but I think I remember seeing "Northern Ireland" during Adam asking for people to join twitch. Would line up with him saying he's Irish but 'lives' in Great Britain so I think he lives in the north of Ireland
@@ComradeChasing yeah he does he's Irish great Britain is a little different than the UK but Northern Ireland is it's own country
I watched a video of American soldiers with a group of allies in combat… When you see the men moving through the combat zone, I could easily pick out the US military from our allies military just by the way they removed.. Our allies soldiers had a bounce to them as they moved along… US military men had no bounce to their movement. They were gun ready and their heads on the swivel…. Their movements were in pace with the other American soldiers.. It was really fascinating to see that…🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡😎
I’ve noticed that too! It’s like it’s second nature to them. These videos should focus more on the people in the military because the weapons (and machinery) are useless without someone to operate them. Even drones and smart missiles have to be launched by someone somewhere. Our military is trained and treated very well and the US population is also more patriotic and passionate about our country and its military than any other country. You don’t see homes flying their country’s flag in other countries. The US is the only country whose people do that. It makes me so proud!
I live near a major Air Force Base. You can tell when someone is a soldier just by the way they carry themselves.
Most USA forces move like they have their arse cheeks welded together, esp USA marines, they march like they all have haemorrhoids
One thing that we need to keep in mind is that the majority of our strength is away from home. We now (thanks to Biden and Mayorkas) my have to fight trained Chinese who have been coming through our southern border.
Please do a Reaction video on the SR71 Blackbird.
There was a part of the military they left out... the United States Marine Corps. As a retired Marine myself, I'd ask that you look up a few of the CZcams videos on them. We're very proud of our heritage, and our role in keeping America safe.
I mean they are just the Navy's infantry. Not even their own branch, like the Space Force is.
@@meatbyproductsit’s the only branch that the president can deploy anywhere without congressional approval
As a former Navy Intel Specialist and former Army 96B Intel Analyst, I used to call the Marines a tiny division of the Department of the Navy. Then I went to Afghanistan as a civilian in direct support of CJSOTF missions. I have seen with my own eyes the Hell that is unleashed when the Marines come to see you. SEMPER FIDELIS!!
@angrybob8126 only part of the Navy he can deploy without congress... and well that has changed as he can send the Army, the Air Force, and the rest of the Navy for 30 days. So the old Jefferson era law has been superceded by more recent laws.
You see I'm Air Force but there is no excuse to leave the Marines out of the scenario I may be a Fly Boy but the Jar Head Marines are just as important as the Army & Navy.
"US Army/US Navy are military branches, the Air Force/Space Force are corporations, and the Marine Corps is a Cult." The Fat Electrician. (He has some great videos)
When did he say that?
@@diggity1039 Thefatelectrician reviews: the marine corps
He's not wrong haha
How can anyone be so stupid by speaking about the United States military and not mention the
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS
The USMC is in the department of the Navy...btw
Their job: Move your Heaven and your Earth at the word GO.
Survival of the fittest out of necessity and experience.
Correction to the video. There are 1.3 million ACTIVE personnel in ALL branches of the US Military. However, there are millions more in reserve and more in things like the national guard, air national guard, etc.
Another correction/clarification...the USA has over 15,000 planes when you combine ALL of the branches of the military. The US AIR FORCE has over 5,000 of those, the Navy has the SECOND largest air force IN THE WORLD. The US Army is like 4th or 5th, and the US Marines I believe would be in the top 10 or at least 20.
the Marines have around 3500 planes i think so it would be around 6th. so USAF would be 1st followed by the navy, Russia/China, then the Army then Marines i believe.
Yes, and then there are millions more in "well regulated militias"... like The proud boys, the michigan militia and other private multitudes, armed to their teeth and with a rambo mindset. The question is rather: why would someonle want to invade that, even if you could? 😉There is no prize to win...
According to Wikipedia The United States has military bases in 45 countries and territories, i.e. outside its fifty states and the District of Columbia.
750 military bases in 80 countries (although the actual number is unknown for security reasons).
I am a Blue Star Mom.What that means is that my son or daughter (son in my case) is in the United States Armed Forces. He is a Staff Sgt in the Oklahoma National Guard but was in the regular Army for 6 of the 18 years he's served. He has gone on 3 tours and was overseas for 4 of the 6 years he served in regular serve. His MOS was 19K (Stryker driver) but now he's in the Elite 45th Infantry and is a F13 scout and leader. This video really doesn't explain the VAST VAST strength of our men and women...because it only talks about those in uniform. Most Americans in the South own at least one firearm, and many of us own more and have been trained to use them. Besides the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Guard protecting our land, we have the citizens who do the same. You just don't want to corner any of us. We take the Constitution pretty seriously.
you must be really proud!!!!!
Some of us do! Some of the idiots living here could take their asses on over to NK. 😂
Our nation is FAR from perfect, but I'm not moving and I'm hoping we get back on our feet.
God bless our military and God bless the constitution that protects our right to possess firearms and we will use them!
As a military bratt, living near a base in the flight path, hearing freedom fly overhead is wonderful.
I like to add something, he never mentioned the Marines, F 35 and Coast Guard. I'm a veteran of the Navy 1969-1979 and it's a totally different Navy to when I served. The first ship I was on still had canvas racks with rope woven around the frame. Don't have a heavy person in the rack above you.
Conscript, same as draft. Not voluntary service. US military is 100% volunteer.
The way it should be!
We can still be drafted every male gets a draft card just it would have to be a serious problem to force it that hard
100% volunteers volunteering to go nowhere
1.)Not a single one of those pictures were of Navy Seals except the first one that’s just Army new recruits. Seals look WAY WAY WAY better then that and the things they do way harder than that, why he didn’t get real pictures I have no idea. Seals in their 60’s look better than the soldiers they showed in that segment. Look it up tons of them have CZcams channels.
2.)We also have the Coast Guard (our Coast Guard is a Military force for us unlike others and does take part in wars and anti piracy) we also have the National Guard Reserves and State Guards. Also, he barely touched on our Space Force.
3.)Military spending is actually closer to a Trillion if you add Black Budgets to the public numbers.
4.)There are probably more Irish (Irish decent) living in the US than in Ireland. Ireland will eternally be a part of us. They were some of our first settlers and I don’t see a world where we’d ever do a thing to harm them.
5.)This is the first time in like 2 years I see your face on my feed so I guess it maybe helped the algorithm in my regard.
My brother’s stationed out of Coronado in CA. He’s been in for several years now, but I always double take when I see him because he literally seems to fluctuate between a little “pudgy” and then all the sudden freaking RIPPED. He looks so different pre and just post a deployment versus when he’s been home for awhile!
Edit to add…That was in no way meant to be an insult to Navy seals or my brother! Even “pudgy” him is scary as hell to most anyone except me, because I’m his sister and I can provoke him without worry of any repercussions 😂
@@EveIsJustMyBlogName No I definitely knew you weren’t saying anything against our soldiers. It’s all muscle memory, it’s a very real thing and the more you’ve conditioned your body through your life the quicker you can hop right back in to shape. I worked in the fitness industry for a long time, you’d be surprised how many of those fitness models are pudgy for half the year. With lots of preconditioning turn around time from pudge to ripped can be 2 to 3 months max. They deserve to get a little happy pudge off deployment.
Most of the video of training is from TV shows and movies, not real military. I've seen some these skits using pudgy baby faced 18yo's in other videos like The Fat Electrician's channel. Lots of awesome stories about US military people there.
@@dez6278 yeah I love Nick he’s awesome!
The B-2 Spirits are based at Whiteman Airforce base in Knob Noster Missouri...a few hours away from me, occasionally we will see them flying overhead
My last duty station before I got out..... hate that place for personal reasons....
Wow you are special spirit bombers at your house. They put them there because of you and you al I ne. How many times a day do you fly them?
I'm a 30 minute drive away. Just the other day I heard one flying over my house while watching T.V. It wasn't real loud but I could recognize it's sound.
Fun fact: USA is 2.4 miles from Russia at their closest point
with almost no people for hundreds kilometers :D :D
And Sarah Palin can see it from her front yard!
I thought the same thing when he said Russia was 6,000 miles from the US...I thought, really...not really.
Yes. You could literally row a boat from Russia to America or sail a boat from Russia to America or visa versa. You can see America, specifically Alaska, from the most Eastern point of Russia, or you can see Russia from the most western point of Alaska. There have been times that Russian aircraft got lost and wound up in American airspace, and the US Air Force had to direct the Russian pilots back to Russia. Russian aircraft often lack GPS, something that American aircraft usually have. I mean nowadays that's not really all that surprising, also American pilots are often better trained than Russian pilots.
Palin can see russia from he house on alaska
The one thing he did not talk about is that we have energy based weapons, high-powered lasers on navy ships, and gonna be put on aircraft. Right now we have 5th Generation aircraft. But they say the seventh generation in about 20 years will have no guns or missiles. Just high-powered lasers and other types of energy based weapons.
He did mention it's acoustic properties. But I know some people wouldn't connect it
@johntarnowski9086 I was thinking of sound when he said that but I'm a little slow to understand things lol
Us Brits have laser weapons as well !!!! 🇬🇧
We also have sound based weapons, though they generally aren't super practical. Sound waves can be projected with enough force to unalive anyone caught in it. Explosives can do the same thing, though, and are a lot more versatile, so those are what actually get used.
Also, pretty sure we already have weapons in space, if I remember correctly. Forget the term, but from what I recall, there are these things in orbit that can launch giant metal rods back down to Earth, doing a considerable amount of damage. Don't know if they've ever actually been used, though.
We have them mounted on satellites. People don't understand this. Space force is real. It's like burning ants with a magnifying glass. It's scary.
My cousin just graduated today in the u.s army. They have a few more weeks left before he can go home
Awesome!
Go home? Did he join the army reserve?
I was in the Navy and was in 7th fleet from 02-06. It was fuckin insane watching the Tomahawk's launch day after day, night after night. Some nights you could go out for a smoke and it would be bright as fuck because of all the launches happening. I was on a frigate and we spent the rest of our time hunting Chinese subs, and Somali pirates when we weren't doing operations in the Gulf. I was 18 and enlisted a week before 9/11 happened. Shit changed my life.
The U.S. Navy has eleven FIXED WING aircraft carriers, but twenty carriers in total. Not 11, but 20. The other nine carry helicopters and vertical takeoff planes, like the old Harriers. The new F35 was designed for these carriers.
Ah yes, the video that every "person/group of people from (insert country) reacts to USA" genre CZcamsrs start with. Pretty soon he'll be reacting to Laurence Brown videos, learning how to barbecue, discover which guns he should own, and in a year's time he'll visit Texas and make videos at a Buc-ees while wearing a cowboy hat and boots. THEY ALL DO THIS!!
You’re right on the money.
It’s been happening since Lockdown, bored upper-middle class Americans are funding these Reactors into a middle class lifestyle within two years, off of selling the American Dream back to American subscribers.
It can best be described as a pyramid scheme inside a panhandling scam.
i welcome it, it's a nice change of pace from the 'lul America evil' crap you hear on the net all the time.
@@MbBadd You’re absolutely right. It’s about time that foreigners learn that we aren’t some mythological creature that’s only capable of destruction.
Instead, my is with reactors doing the same videos at the same time. It’s like they have a script, and now when one of them makes something original everyone else reacts to it at the same time. Don’t get me wrong, I like pretty much all of them (even love some of them), but originality is lacking.
@@timhefty504 eh, they just making content that gets them views, that's the algorithm, not the youtubers.
hilarious and so on point
don't forget the geography/national park related videos too
What was not mentioned is there are 320 million privately owned firearms in the United States or 120 guns for every 100 Americans.
I was wondering if anyone was going to mention this detail. They started off the video about messing with and invading the US, granted the US population was much smaller in WWII but the Japanese decided against invading because of private gun ownership. Today our "private" guns could arm every able bodied man/woman at least two times over.
Please remember we have to remove every small arm taken to Mexico or further south from that estimate. Some 80% of small arms used by the cartels in 2000 are suspected to come from privately owned US weapons. How that percentage still measures up now, 24 years later, is debatable, but it certainly still has an impact on American stock piles.
@@jamestaylor3805 A bigger threat to our "stockpiles" is the increase in guns being lost in boating mishaps.
@@BWolf00 you mean all those trump flag festooned floridians that kept sinking themselves in the canals? That was funny.
@@jamestaylor3805 Of course, FL is one of the remaining states where you can avoid ATF constitutional overreach.
The marching thing is so funny. In basic training that was the first thing they broke us of. When trying to march you grew up thinking about a marching band. US forces don't march that way. You march in step like you walk and swing your arms like you walk. At first when they say forward you start high stepping and you get ripped apart. You can't cover much ground high stepping.
So Adam … the b2 are almost entirely based in the state of Alabama. They do not get based anywhere outside America. They fly anywhere on earth from America to there and back. Every mission.

I once taught a pilot of one of these, and he'd fly in from Syria every week to go to school one night a week. Not joking. Crazy but true.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
"They say size doesn't matter ..." Tell that to Lockheed's C-5 Galaxy, "the solid aluminum overcast".
I’m sorry, but did they say fourteen nuclear warheads on our ballistic missile submarines? Try again. Our ballistic missile submarines (“boomers” US Navy parlance) carry 24 Trident II D5 SLBMs a piece, and each SLBM can carry at nominal loadings either 8 x W88 (475-kt) MIRVs or 10 x W76 (100-kt) MIRVs. The number they carry is limited by arms control treaties, but each _submarine_ has the capacity to carry up to 240 W76 warheads with 51.7 equivalent megatons, or 192 W88 warheads with 146.1 equivalent megatons. Not only that, the D5 SLBM has a CEP of about 50 meters. Meaning that each MIRV statistically will land within this radius 50% of the time, or twice that radius 97% of the time. The warheads can be fused for either airburst or ground burst as necessary.
They didn’t say 14 warheads in the subs. They said there are currently 14 SUBMARINES active, 5 in the Atlantic Ocean and 9 in the Pacific Ocean
@@jamesmarciel5237 Oh. Must’ve misheard. Sorry.
The weird stepping thing is a variant of a military step and its primary purpose is to ensure that everyone in a unit is moving the same way to help the unit keep time during marching. In modern times its mostly a parade thing and that's one of the more exaggerated ones I've seen. It looks like a very aggressive high step which is an easier variation of the german goose step.
Originally it was genuinely important since everyone stepping exactly the same way during linear (napoleonic and surrounding) warfare was how you kept a unit together and moving efficiently, and a march step was recorded as far back as Rome to allow commanders to accurately predict how fast they could move troops (a common step gave you twenty miles in five hours and a full step gave you twenty five miles in five hours; any fast was considered running and couldn't be predicted beyond 'faster but they also get tired).
The US military does have a few marching steps, but they're fairly subdued and most troops only experience the handful of relatively sillier ones during training as a discipline thing.
The B-21 Raider is replacing the B-2. The B-21 is slightly smaller, but it's capable of fully autonomous flight. A.k.a its an unmanned bomber.
Look up Fat Electrician's video about Rapid Dragon. It enables any cargo plane to drop cruise missiles via pallets (depending on the size of the plane).
There's even test footage of it in action with the pallets dropping a test cruise missile.
Edit:
I forgot to mention the A.I piloted F-16 that's currently in testing. It has completed dog fighting training against human pilots. The pilot has been the limiting factor for the current and future aircraft. A.I will remove those limitations, which is exciting.
oh and the b-21 also is like half the price and coming way underbudget, too
Proud U.S. Air Force wife here. Our airmen are beasts!
DAMN RIGHT!! GO Air Force!! The United States Air Force is THE largest and most powerful air force in the world, bar none!!
The A-10 are the coolest and most bad ass fighters we have. They call them the tank busters.
Yup - the destroyed the most tanks and personnel in the First Gulf war than every other type of airplane combined.
The A-10 IS NOT a "fighter," it is an "ATTACK" aricraft, thus . . . the "A." The F-22 and F-16 are "fighters," thus . . . the "F."
A "Fighter," fights other aircraft. "Attack" aircraft, fight ground units . . . like tanks. Please get it right.
@@anthonyhargis6855 Yes - I know that. And even if the original commentator didn't know you can be more polite about it. Usually on military reaction videos people are just excited to share their love for a specific thing and aren't trying to show off some deep knowledge of military tactics or history.
@@seekexplorewander I was not impolite, as you imply. I even said "please." AND . . . I wasn't replying to your post.

Here's a fun budget number for you -- The USS Gerald Ford. The carrier. $13B cost. It would rank #24 in the world for whole military spending. Just one aircraft carrier is more expensive than 170 countries spend.
The B2 takes off from the middle of the US flies over Russia and lands back at home.
Likely takes off from Alaska
@@rebeccabesherse5162 No, they take off from Whiteman AFB, Missouri
@@user-po3ev7is5w Yes, but that requires air-to-air refueling. They also can take off from Guam, do a mission over Moscow, and return to Guam without refueling.
@@BigTroyT Yes, and? I never said they don't in flight refuel
The amphibious assault ships are now essentially aircraft carriers since the marine Corps has been using F35B's from them that can take off & land vertically...
Some notes about some equipment in the USAF arsenal since he basically skimmed it since there was so much to cover. You see it for a split second during the bomber segment I think, but we decided we needed better sustained ground support, so we took a military cargo plane and stuck a howitzer, and a half dozen other guns, out the side of it so that it can sit several thousand feet up and shell you. The AC-130 will literally fly a circle around your little patch of ground and pound it to dust.
The Premier 'oldschool' bomber used by the USAF is the B-52 Stratofortress and it has been in service for over fifty years because we haven't been able to come up with something better a getting warheads on foreheads.
If you take the time at some point to look at some videos of airshow footage of the F-22 Raptor you need to understand one thing. The stunts you see them pull are what we are ALLOWED to see. Even decades after the plane first entered service its full capabilities are still classified.
It's really very simple. " Si vis pacem,Para bellum " (you seek peace, prepare for War) God bless America!
Don't be scared, you're one of our allies! We'll have your back if things get rough out there. (Edited twice. I realize now finishing the video that you are indeed still living in ireland and now im not sure. But we'd help you somehow haha)
Thank u
😂😂that's funny
The US would never allow Ireland or Britain to br invaded.
There is a US Air Force Base in Germany.
There are multiple US Air Force bases in Germany
When I was an infantry fleet marine we did PT every morning. We sometimes did PT and in the afternoons we went either to the pool or the gym. The between times we cleaned weapons or had classes on different things. We also went to the field and practiced killing folks.During float the only thing to do was PT, classes or was on duty.I was in the shape of my life for four years. While deployed to actual combat all that payed off.
Look up the A-10 Thunderbolt. It doesn't need stealth, it just takes the hits and keeps on delivering punishment
Not to mention Carry 70 fighter jets on them between 11 carriers that equals 770 fighter jets
Well, we really can't man 11 carrier groups. Vote DJT and maybe we will. But it will take another big investment to build enough destroyer escorts. May God Bless the USA. There are many countries that hate the US, now with our liberal colleges many of our young hate our country as well. Our country will survive but we are in for some hardships.

It isn't *quite* true that nobody has attacked America; but if you change "attacked" to "invaded" and add a timeframe qualifier (like, "since the mid nineteenth century"), then it gets harder to argue with.
The knees-up thing is for show, for parades and such; the US military does things of that nature too -- perhaps not that specific thing, but they definitely do things that are for show for parades; I once visited the naval academy at Annapolis during a family vacation (we were visiting an aunt who happened to live close to it, so we went there as a side trip), and we didn't plan this, but it randomly happened to be on a parental-visitation day, so they all had on the dress-white uniforms, and we got to see some performances, including some very precise choreography and a couple of musical numbers, none of which was anything you'd do on an actual battlefield. With that said, yes, the US military is relatively well trained compared to most other countries. (It helps that every generation since the late nineteenth century, has had leaders with significant practical combat experience, so new enlisted personnel always have real veterans to learn from. But yes, the fact that it's been an all-volunteer military for about half a century, also contributes.)
The line about health care is nonsense. (I *think* it's supposed to be funny? But the delivery is off, and so the joke doesn't really work.) The US military budget is a lot for a military budget, but it is a small fraction of what Americans collectively spend on health care (and if the Federal government were paying the bill, it would be even higher).
Putin already knows he doesn't want to fight NATO. That's why he was so adamant that Ukraine could not be allowed to join NATO under any circumstances: he knew he wanted to invade, and if they were a NATO member, he wouldn't have been able to do that. (NATO has not only most of the world's military power, but also most of the world's GDP, all but one of the world's strong currencies, most of the world's high-end military equipment manufacturing, most of the world's political power, and most of the permanent seats on the UN security council, among other things. Picking a fight with NATO isn't so much a good way to die; it's more like a good way to be absolutely humiliated in the most cartoonishly over-the-top manner imaginable.)
The B-2 can't take off from a carrier, no. But it *can* be refueled in flight, which allows it to take off from Missouri and fly to nearly anywhere on the planet, because the US has air bases that can provide aerial refueling, scattered all over the world. (The largest contiguous region where we don't have any such bases, includes Russia, China, and several countries in their respective spheres of influence. This makes central Siberia the most difficult area for the B-2 to reach, other than maybe the south pole.)
5:10 healtcare in america costs around 3-5x the military budget, and our social programs are already a larger portion of the budget than the military.
Out of the total 1.3 million, roughly only 35% are combat arms, i.e. Infantry, Tanks, Artillery, Special Forces. The other 65% are there to provide support for the warfighters.
My wonderful USA provides Universal UNheathcare. Otherwise known as "Warheads on Foreheads"
I just discovered your channel. Great presentation of important military information. As a proud member of a multigenerational U.S.A military family, I am pleased to be a new subscriber. Well done with the sharing of information.
Adam, the weird marching is called, in the US Army, D&C (Drill and Ceremony). It's to show discipline or for special occasions like parades or funerals. "No one attacked America" may be referring to a peer nation invading the US mainland which hasn't happened in a long while. That budget is yearly, The Fat Electrician says we have a "Universal Unhealthcare System". You'll find that the US military LOVES euphemism and speaks Sarcasm fluently, unlike most US civilians. Recruitment isn't what's killing the SEAL trainees. Training can be deadly especially when air, water or stupidity are involved. Americans love the Irish, we all like any excuse to party and get wild. Drones are a major change to a battle-space, much like the tank's development in the World Wars. We don't really know how they'll drive tactics and doctrine yet. I tried to answer your questions by the order they were asked. Thank you for taking an interest.
And there is one missing reason people don't show up here to take over.....the very reason Emperor Hiro Hito said after WWII. When asked why he did not advance on the US after bombing Pearl Harbor.

@@copperbuttons7376 True I mean the NYPD is larger than many countries militaries.
Absolute bullshit. Never said that.
@copperbuttons7376 If the UN showed up here, many cops would be on their side....
The biggest issue we have with our military is how much money we pump into it. Our military budget dwarfs every country in the world by a least 3 times. So much of that money could be used in truly significant ways to help the rest of the nation but that ain't gonna happen any time soon. We could lower taxes, cost of living, actually put a real homeless rehabilitation program into action, free healthcare, education like underfunded urban schools or at least free community college. The list of how to use all that extra money is vast.
Edit: lol I see they cover this.
$877 billion is a bit much
Free healthcare means people working in healthcare work for free. Nothing is free. Everyone who says free healthcare or college are idiots. We wouldn't have such a huge military budget if we quit being the world's police, military, and bank.
Both of you miss one tiny thing called out CONSTITUTION. The FEDERAL government handles our international affairs, including our borders (cough cough), prints (and prints and prints and prints) our common currency, settle disputes and regulates commerce between the States, etc. Whatever it's NOT authorized to do (abortion, healthcare, education, etc.) it's actually forbidden to do. They still try, but it's unlawful. We have 50 States that generally handle domestic policies. And unlike most Constitutions (Soviet, Chinese, Canadian) that say we, the government, give you this or that right. Our Constitution reverses it, and says these are your God given rights. Adding a new section requires a super majority in both houses of Congress, plus 3/4ths of the States agreeing to the change before it becomes part of the Constitution. It's that difficult so that no one man nor party can just willy-nilly change it to suit themselves.
That's 3.5% of our FEDERAL budget (and while the amount is not specified, "maintaining a common defense" is literally one of the few things the Federal Government is assigned to provide. Each STATE has their own budgets and taxes to do things like healthcare. Europe actually does the same thing. The EU thinks it's supreme in all things, but education, housing for the poor or homeless, etc. comes out of London, Dublin, Copenhagen, Berlin, Paris, etc. not Brussels.
Now you should look at the special opps teams from each individual branch of the military. The Army, Navy, Airforce and Marines.
I like these new type of reaction videos to different topics.
Kind of surprised this video didn't mention about the Marine Corps. They literally are famous and been around for ages. "The Devil Dogs" being one of the famous group in 1918 of the 1rst Battalion 6th Marine Regiment. Granted this isn't a history video, but again I'm surprised that it didn't really mention about the Marine Corps as a whole. In my opinion a very important part of the US Military which are still a thing today.
Gotta do some reactions to The fat electrician.... it wont disappoint legend.
All B-2's are home based in Missouri. During the Gulf Wars, they flew round trip from Whiteman AFB to drop bombs in the desert. It is about a 22 hour flight but the maintenance support needed is so complex that it cannot be forward deployed.
Check out the fat electrician...some great military history told in a VERY sarcastic and humorous way. I think you'd enjoy his delivery.
My 5'1" 110lb wife was a staff sergeant in the US Air Force. Behind the lines logistic work, not front line combat service. And, even she had to test with a 2.5 mile run in 23 minutes every 60 days. US soldiers at all levels are held to a very high fitness standard.
Exactly!! 💪💪👍👍👍
An old neighbor of mine is a navy seal. "Once a seal, always a seal" . He is the one who pushed me down the slippery slope of Feline Cohabitation. Any mess with his Felines the powers that be would never find the body.
"Can someone link this video to Putin?" hahaha, that killed me
Fun fact about the F-22, it is one of the only fighter aircraft in the US inventory that Congress passed legislation mandating that the US cannot sell it to any other countries, including allies because its even hard for the US to see it on radar. Hence the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that was built off the F-22's non-stealth technology.
We never sell our edge. M1 tanks sold, jets, air defense systems sold never have all our tech included just back doors. Hussain's air defense system failed during the war was because we hacked it.
2:48 They appear to be in a parade formation (based on most soldiers looking right rather than forward) so it’s probably just a fancy march for that. There is no purpose other than to impress the brass.
Conscripted means forced into the army. Meaning they wouldn't have the same drive to be there also they don't get the best training conscripted is basically them running up their numbers.
Up in Alaska on the West Coast, it's only a couple of miles across to Russia. We have tons of AFB's up there.
I remember doing some cross training with the British Royal Marines in the 90's. We went to the UK and did some good training. The following year they came to America and did a combined arms exercise with us at 29 palms. They said we had so much equipment. I told them you should see how much the US army has.
Former us army here... on your point about the funny marching armies around the world do, its actually a show of fortitude or constitution of the soldiers. It's hard to do. I never had to do it like that persay, but I did enough regular marching to know marching while doing high knees and leg kicks every other step would wreck most of the unit I served in.
I used to live fairly close to the base in Missouri. Whiteman Air Force Base is the only operational base for the B-2 bombers. It was quite a sight to see a flight of them taking off and going to Iraq and Afghanistan and then returning back to Missouri base all in one flight of about 44 hours. Amazing
Aw Adam you've just scratched the service. You would love the video on the fighter A10 Warthog. The angel in the sky protecting ground troops. AND you will love any videos about the air craft carriers. Basically floating cities with their own airports, usually manned by 5-6,000 personnel.
He showed off some of the cool stats of various aircraft for the Air Force, but their true strength is in logistics to support other branches and command and control of an air space. Get an AWACS and Global Hawk in the sky over a region and it paints a real time image of everything happening. It allows the commanders of operations to essentially control a battle like an RTS game.
This was a great reaction..
I don't usually comment but I just wanted to say thank you for checking out our military...and I agree that this narrator is great😁 ❤🇺🇸
1:30
the U.S. has 1.4 million ACTIVE military. but it's estimated that there are 2.5 million in reserve AND if a draft was every pushed, they would be able to conscript up to 75 million (men only). This also doesn't include the former military personal that now works as para-military for companies that contract to the U.S. government. those people are all highly trained military people that can also be contracted as possible mercenary for the U.S. government or military.
2:33
I love seeing the U.S. military marching alongside other nations. it's humorous to see how crazy they do their marching and how inefficient their marching is. they only do it for show as it looks impressive.
5:12
the military budget has nothing to do with not having 'universal' healthcare. we could easily keep the military budget and still pay for 'universal' healthcare BOTH, but the 'universal' healthcare would force citizens to have to buy something by edict of the government and that is against U.S. laws and the Constitution. the government can't force you do buy anything in the U.S. Additionally, it would GREATLY increase taxes on the citizens and we already don't like taxes (we started a war over being taxed too much....)
5:29
it's actually $878 Billion PER YEAR.....
6:26
the U.S. has both the largest AND the second largest airforces (Airforce and Navy) in the world.....
9:42
Russia and China already has the information that is in this video. the problem is that they have to project a 'strong' image to the world otherwise they could be ignored and dismissed and they'll lose all their apparent 'power'. so they (Russia and China) lie and over state their military might. On the other hand, the U.S. keeps it's military might secret and what people find out is actually around 20 YEARS old already.
9:58
they don't actually explain 'precision ' missile... back during the first Persian Gulf War (1990). President Clinton ordered a strike on Iraqi Intelligence building. we shot a 'smart' or 'precision' missile into it. they entire interior was destroyed from ground to roof, BUT, the 4 exterior walls were still standing afterwards.
11:27
the B2 isn't used for recon, we have other, much better planes for that. ones that can fly high enough to almost leave Earth's atmosphere. the B2 is just for delivering bombs. nuclear, 'smart' or 'dumb'...
12:29
the Space Force is it's own separate military branch now....
14:34
the week timeframe was actually the Navy being 'cautious' in their attacks...
15:09
there are actually 20 aircraft carriers. 11 are the large 'fixed wing' carriers and 9 more are carriers for other (helo and VTOL) craft.
16:06
Navy Seals have a 99.8% mission success rate.....
18:24
Ireland is targeted by Russia and China. not the U.S.
21:35
drones have been used for over a decade as front line attack aircraft. from 'mosquito' hand-held sized ones to full plane sized ones loaded with guns and missiles. there are several units that's sole mission is controlling drones in the battlefields anywhere in the world from the U.S.....
The video didn't mention that newer US submarines can launch drones like the razorback uuv, remus 600. US Navy also has a armed Ghost fleet of warships LUSV Ranger, LUSV Mariner, USV Sea Hunter, Manta Ray auv, ORCA autonomous submarine, T-38 Devil Ray usv, LRUSV, SwarmDiver, Robot Shark GhostSwimmer, Ocean Aero Triton, Coyote 2. US Air Force has a fleet of AI piloted F-16. AI piloted XQ-58 Valkyrie, Autonomous air refueling tanker MQ-25 Stingray.
This video doesn’t even include all the “shadow weapons” that the public isn’t even aware of. My niece is a naval aircraft engineer and fighter pilot. She’s 20 years old!
This narrator has a great word use, getting me hyped just watching. lol
There was a group called the heritage foundation (which is a scary thing anyway) that just released an assessment that only gave each portion of the military a strong grade for capabilities if it was evaluated to be able to win 2 major regional theaters with a 20% reserve. That is the kind of standard we are talking about.
Getting a raptor up your arse! Lol that made me laugh 🤣
Just to put into perspective how bored we are in warfare, we created the Hellfire R9X Missile (known as the Flying Ginsu). A a non-explosive precision guided missile the can hit an individual person to avoid collateral damage. But the best part is, this missile deploys multiple swords out the sides, six swords to be exact. We used one to kill Ayman al-Zawahiri among others.
The upcoming 6th gen NGAD is an aircraft that is supposed to able to carry a single pilot or unpiloted remotely or buy sharing intelligence between other aircraft to make decisions based on the mission parameters, however at the moment they are rather expensive
My guess for the leg ups is a show of absolute control, precision and force. Showing that even the service men and women can work as a whole precise unit. Is it working eh maybe
Why do I love it when he says “bonkers” 😭😭
Cold War Veteran here and I was in the Navy 1982 to 1988 VS-41 and VS-33 AZ2 two west pacs and our Navy has 11 aircraft carriers and a massive amount of support ships and subs, and the world knows not to F with us because we could get two aircraft carrier battle groups off your coast in 24 hours and then what? we make your country a parking lot.
Why the passive aggressiveness?🤣
11:35 the SR 71 did that job.
Check out a video on swarm drones for recon or ambush
Also fun fact. Idk if it’s mentioned in the video but. America can also convert thousands of factories for military production :)
While the video did mention how bad ass the SEALs are, while particularly highlighting Team Six, it failed to mention the U.S. military’s premier anti-terrorist/special operations force,
1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D), referred to as Delta Force
While the Marine Corps. looks-on with the expression(s) on our faces- "What, are *WE* a joke?"
Army, smarmy! Navy, they take us where we need to go, and their Medic's are the Right hand of GOD in our eyes! Air Force? 'Aim High' is their motto! Probably explains their accuracy, or lack thereof! (I have to kid, 'cause their 'Smart/Guided' munitions are absolute kick ASS, and anyone that's seen/been aided from an A-10's help, appreciates it for LIFE!) :-)
hoowah!!! U.S. Army veteran here!!! love your vlog Mr. Adam!!!
A little bit more information on the F22 raptor has the radar cross section is the size of a bumblebee.
F35 has a radar cross section of a hummingbird
B2 has a radar cross section of a seagull
This was told to me by a soldier from another country as we drank a beer in a corner bar. He believed what he said because he had lived it. I wrote it down because I didn't want to forget it.
Other countries all agree on one thing. If they are under attack & they radio for help, they all pray it is the Americans that receive the call. If the Americans receive the call they will tell you hunker down, they are on the way. They don't ask what the situation is, chances are they already know the situation & wait until they’re there for specifics. They don’t try to figure out the best way to do the rescue, if they say they have your back & that they’re on the way, then they have your back & that they’re on the way.
First you hear gunfire from 1 direction & then you hear the report of a 50 caliber, once, twice & sometimes 3 times, then silence. At this point you are sure an American sniper has either taken out the commander or sent him packing for his own safety. Suddenly gunfire will erupt again but this time it’s only the sound of American made firearms heard as they mop up the situation.
Another way Americans are different than the rest of the world is when other countries soldiers lose their commanding officers they are told to dig in & wait for further orders. On the other hand the Americans go on the attack if they lose their commander. Their commanders are there to hold them back, not for their safety but for the enemies. If you injure or kill an American, they are coming for you & there is very little that will detour them from getting to you. The Americans never retreat. They may make a tactical withdrawal but that only comes after they’ve expended all their ammunition, set off all their explosives, broken their knives & lost their fingernails ripping the throat out of the enemy… But they WILL be back prepared for the long fight.
While the Germans are German, The Irish are Irish, The French are French & the Italians are Italian, the Americans are all of these & more. They are the best of every country on this planet as well as the worst, often at the same time, & where the people of the rest of the world are a bit stubborn & proud of their country, the Americans take it to a whole new level. It’s like they took a little stubborn pride from each country & combined it together & while most countries pride & stubbornness is like a 1 foot thick wall 10 feet high, the Americans are a 50 foot thick wall 100 feet high.
It’s best not to mess with Americans, They’re stubborn prideful, calculating and sometimes just plain bat shit crazy. They’ve trained with firearms all their lives and can do things that leave you awestruck as to how they were able to pull off the shot. They are raised playing game such as cowboys and Indians, cops and robber and war type games as if it was ingrained into their DNA. Even their computer games are ones that teach them how to fight a war and win, it’s terrifying to some degree. They’re a nasty lot to have against you but you sure are glad to see them when pinned down without hope of escaping.
Lovely reaction, your expressions were epic.
He didn't mention my favorite new weapon. The Hellfire 9RX consists of a bunch of rotating blades that can mince whatever it hits. And it's super accurate so, for example, it can hit a car from hundreds of miles away and since it contains no explosive, it doesn't harm nearby innocents. No terrorist is safe.
To better understand what it takes to be a Navy SEAL, search BUD/S which stands for Basic Underwater Demoltion / SEAL training. Some sailors get rolled for injury but most request to leave.
There's a very good series of reasons why our military is so powerful.
The first is that we used to stand up units at the start of a war and then disband them when that war was over. This would lead to a loss in leadership, experience and tactics that would cost us tens of thousands of needless lives to make up for and learn the lessons we needed to in order to catch up to the latest war. Nowadays we have a extremely huge economy that enables us to spend massive amounts of money so there's really no reason to spend what we need to so that more Americans can get home to their families.
The second is that we have to be able to fight Russia and China at the same time and to be blunt, most of Europe isn't ready to fight any kind of major war, let alone are meeting their NATO obligations. And yet America still needs to stand up and win the fight against Russia and China regardless of our allies' readiness.
Well, I'm disappointed he didn't mention the B1. That is the absolute most BEEutiful Bird in Flight. I was living outside Dyess, AFB with the first round of B1s landed at the base. Seeing that stunning plane flying over town; I always had to stop and watch it. Maybe that's why it wasn't mentioned: it's just to beautiful to be a weapon of war.
He also forgot the B52s that are like Pteradactyls in the sky! They would eat an entire city block, they are so big and intimadating.
I will, also, point out: he forgot THE MARINES, who are a branch of the Navy.
The US military is all volunteer . Most other countries have a conscript, or non volunteer military. That explains alot.
11:30 They actually had a mission where they took off from an Air base in Missouri (around hte middle of the united states) and flew over to Bosnia to aid in the conflict there, and flew BACK to Missouri without having to refuel.
My husband is a Navy Vet he went in at 17 back in 2001. They just recently retired his ship.
The question about where to take off to get to Russia? Alaska. It's further from an airfield and to get to an operational target of course but it's technically 55 miles from Alaska to Russia.
I believe what he says is there's over a million in the combined military services and I mean he could mean that there is something like 450,000 active duty Army, but we also have the Army reserves in addition to the Army National Guard. The Army National guard is that of the state but they still go to Army basic training & boot camp and infantry training school. The US Marine Corps has 15 or 16 weeks of boot camp and then they got another three or four months of infantry training school or they go to whatever their Mos/job school is going to be like my ex-husband went to an Air Force Base for breakfast illustration in combat photography because in a wartime he withdrawal maps and things like that and he doesn't for training or he did when he was in the Marine Corps. When he was active duty in the 1980s the Marine Corps only had about 80,000 to 100,000 active duty Marines. The US Marine Corps is part of the Department of the Navy and they are the amphibious assault team.. we also have the Coast guard.. the US Air Force is pretty big and the US Navy is Huge!😊
Adam makes the best videos even when it's not a TNTL 💚💚💚💚
The B2 bomber can take off from Ramstein Air Base in Germany if it needs to go to Asia. Also, the Misawa Air Base in Japan for eastern Asia. There are probably secret bases we don't even know about as well. LOL They can probably be propelled off carriers as well... we just haven't been told if they can. Just like the B-25 bombers in WW2?
