You guys should do B&B for each episode of Generation Kill… I wish there were more series like that of modern conflicts
AGREED
this ^^^^
hell yea brother
a sequel would be the dream, but that particular situation was so unique, bunch of recon marines one of the first elements to invade iraq with jack shit. what do you think they would do it around?
@@globaladdict could do something set in Afghanistan. If there’s a unit that has some interesting combat situations as well as training the ANA.
They could do something similar to The Pacific where they follow a few different guys/groups in different locations too.
The ANA training could be quite comedic based on some of the real life videos guys have posted… although I’m sure it was more frustrating than funny for the guys doing the training
Buck and Kurt are the most normal SF guys I’ve seen on YT, thanks for the fun banter and SF community insights.
If they're the "normal" ones in our eyes, does that mean they're the "special ones" in the SF community?
I left work at 1pm on 9/11 and signed my intent to join the army after paperwork by 6pm. 20 years later my 2 oldest son's are serving. Time flew by fast. Kurt's teacher was right .. it changed our world forever.
As always, great review Boys! 🤘🏼
9/11 was the greatest propaganda piece in history. Americans were done with fighting after the decades of meaningless wars from WWII to Gulf War. Just like Pearl Harbor the only way we were invading two sovereign nations is if we were attacked by people not of Egyptian Origin that were also not recruited, trained and funded by the CIA/SOG, NSA, Saudis and Pakistanis. We really did a great job bringing peace to the world since 1942. I'm so proud to be a NATO member. A 100% defensive alliance and 0% offensive alliance. Saddam should not have built those 100% CNN confirmed WMDs. And the Taliban should have worshipped the right gods aka President Cheney and Secretary of -War- Defense Rumsfeld.
@@joebenson528 long winded reply for this rebuttal.... Oh well, it is what it is.... We did what we did, and the only thing I regret about it was losing a few of the best people the earth has ever had on it. I served with pride... Not because of a country, flag, or paycheck but because of my brothers who were to the left and right of me.
@@JayDubb3BCT
The Nazis shared the same sentiment I do not. The war is at home not Afganistan, Iraq, or UA. Stop using your "brothers" as scapegoats and own up to your blind loyalty. Were you there for your brothers or did you follow orders to avoid court martial? Stop pretending you didn't sign your life over to Big daddy when you put ink to paper.
"Yeah a few of yous hanged. We did what we did and it is what is is, buddy" - Jay Dubb circa 1865
@@joebenson528 everyone's path is different. To feel worthy of judging someone without knowing anything about a person is a detrimental trait to ones character. With that being said, your comments are an opinion and we all know what opinions are like... So don't be a asshole. It's easier being kind & definitely less energy draining... Be blessed in life Sir.
@@joebenson528 you think these guys need you to sit and tell them it was meaningless? They joined cause they were young and angry but either way people tried to kill them so I hope they make it home instead of the enemy. That’s our oil. Look at gas prices now. God bless the troops. I hope some other oil barring country fucks up so these gas prices go down.
I was a Senior in high school and in Senior study hall when I heard about the attack. Similar experience they called us all to the auditorium and we watched the news on the big screen. A bunch of guys I know went and signed up after that. My one buddy was a helicopter pilot during Iraq and unfortunately my other buddy took his life when he got home. I love listening to these stories. I'm 38 and got to listen to some good stories from my family members and friends. I also meet my Uncle(by marriage) parents when I was younger who were survivors of Auschwitz. They showed me their tattoos with their serial numbers. My dad was born in '35 and joined the Army after high school in '53 said you did that if you couldn't afford college or had a job lined up. He almost thought he might have to go Korea but he never had to go overseas. My great uncle was in WWII and apparently when he came back he refused to sleep inside the house and instead slept outside in the backyard. Also, don't get pissed at the dude maybe leave the woman cheating on you. He might not have known. Also now a days wouldn't be surprised if they just use CGI to make guys look bigger and ripped.
I had just graduated. Turned on the TV that morning and saw the second plane hit. I instantly knew what was up and it was gonna be on from then on out. Never realized at the time it would've lasted that long though.
I was in second grade I walked in class and saw burning buildings on tv and thought we were watching an action movie which was weird because it was math class. Then they sent us home early.
@@Jdowling357 I was so pissed off when all the evidence started rolling out about our government's complicity in these events. It seems they are getting bolder and bolder.
@@BigTomInTheBasement Oh please share the evidence.
There are two events where I remember precisely where I was and what I was doing. 1) On 9/11 I was at work and they put it on some TVs around office and when the second plane hit they closed down and sent everyone home. 2) I was home sick from school when I was watching the Challenger launch and when it exploded my mom just started to cry uncontrollably and I was just stunned.
Not sure which deployment you were commenting on, but I know that when Chris was there with Jocko's Task Force Bruiser - it was all HVT missions I believe (from what Jocko, Johnny Kim [who was a sniper as well as medic] as well as others from Jocko's team) - with elements of two SEAL teams. With all respect to Chris, there's some pretty interesting silences when guys from Jocko's team are asked about Chris. From friends at SOCOM, it sounds to me like Chris didn't exactly make himself super popular with the people he worked with. He was obviously a pretty brilliant sniper, and it's never really explained what it was, but he did seem to rub some people on the teams the wrong way
He was kind of a racist, and a douche and took joy in killing poc. He wasnt really well liked as a person.
I've served and worked with a few guys like that. Their good at pt and shooting but super douches to be around and no one would hang out with them on friday nights in the barracks or take them out with us when we'd hit up the club
I've heard similar stories about chris. Competent frogman, but overly arrogant
Leif Babin, Jocko, Tony Eafrati, Kevin Lacz all speak very, very highly of him in interviews - that he was a hard worker, patriot, very humble, cared a lot about people, solid teamguy, would give you the shirt on his back. Their words, not mine.
@@redwoodpunx9614 From people I knew who worked with them it was because of the hype Marines in country were giving him and IMO it annoyed other SEALS (Kyle was never the one who tooted his horn but it was other people).
@@strykrpinoy from what i see, he seemed to exaggerated alot, like in his book. He adds honours and medal on he didn't have.
Jocko did a breakdown on this movie also, which was kyles commander. I think his longest shot wasnt at the sniper, but a guy placing an IED, could be wrong.
In a podcast Jocko gives a definitive quote about this movie. "The only thing they got right in this movie was his name. The rest of it.... wasn't."
Specifically there are four other seal books, movies, and literally thousands of hours of interviews with conventional and team guys about Chris. Not a single one of them with first hand knowledge of the deployments shown recommended this movie or even gave a positive review.
All I know is that leaderboard kill count stuff doesn't lead anywhere good
@@tomb2289 someone beat me to it- he was killing people just to be number one on the board that’s serial killer shit
@@smrtnik4313 but they were all bad guys so who cares? Rack up as many terrorists on the board as you can, joke about it and make fun of then later.
@@smrtnik4313 A serial killer has no moral obligation to anything. We have several examples of text book serial killers matching a frequent pattern of complete disregard for, and the key word being, INNOCENT life. And doing so in a manner that defiles the body and memory of the individual, or integrates personal control over the victim. And in a serial killer is a developed pattern, with developed tastes for his/her victims, and the frequency in which they do or not do their crimes...
Chris Kyle was a team sniper with a job to perform overwatch and eliminate sensitive targets/targets of opportunity.
He just happened to have fought in some of the most target rich environs that would allow him to have such a count of enemy combatants killed by his hands. Ramadi, Fallujah and Mosul.
Getting angry with Chris Kyle performing his duties exceptionally well, is like getting angry with your student for performing math exceptionally well...
He joined the service, and the service involves killing people. That's how you win wars. When did killing motherfuckers become such a taboo thing that entails being called a serial killer, for a line of duty that's sole purpose is to stack bodies in the name of one's country, its interests, and its defense?
Hey there Buck and the rest of the crew. Thanks for the content you’ve been making lately. I’ve been here for awhile now and really appreciate what y’all did for my country and this community. Love y’all! Stay safe
I love how understanding and open y’all are. How real. Much respect
Love this series when you are reviewing the movie or just talking about personal situations.
Always entertaining.
During 911...I was ironically in JROTC in HS....my Lieutenant Colonal came in and told everyone "class Attention!" ...NOW STFU!! and turned on the TV...
The scene where he jumps in with the soldiers, I dunno if it was accurate to how he was in particular, but it's absolutely accurate to how SEALs in general are. I've met a few, was stationed in San Diego for my sonar training, they're humble dudes, and BUD/S makes them that way. They're hot shit, and they know they are, but they don't ACT like it.
Eyyy good ole FASW, I miss that place
I was stationed in Japan on a destroyer when the twin towers were attacked. It was night time in port and a sailor ran into berthing and said we are under attack I was puzzled since I didn't feel the ship shaking from bomb hits. We turned on the TV in berthing and it showed the Pentagon all messed up. Not good when you see that.
My uncle Bill lives in a camo 1960s international bus. His birthday is 9,11
Yes lol shout out to " generation kill " !!! Awesome mini series!!
I was bullied and then I fought back then became the bully. the circle never breaks
I love the part when they’re at sniper school and dudes are straight up missing these massive steel silhouettes shooting from the prone
Lol 😆
At literal sniper school. The embellishments in the film are uncalled for, honestly.
Clint Eastwood knew better than that.
Once again, great video! Thanks a bunch guys!!
Keep it up buck. You and Kurt are the dynamic duo
I love your channel and your views and comments. Your thoughts are incredibly enlightening and fascinating. Thank you guys.
loving the frequent uploads
Col. Dave Grossman that you mentioned in the start is in large part responsible, in my opinion, for the problems we have today with problem cops. He made a post-Army career on training cops with that sheep/sheepdog BS. He makes me ashamed for the 82nd.
the ending was really well said, and you're content is always excellent
The whole sheepdog bit was spot on! Thank you!
no way!! sheepdogs are the best and awesomest and cutest pups >_
Always look forward to these!
You two are gold! I love the dynamic you two have 🤘🤘🤘
Well according to the book, he did join Marines a few times but he didn't just up and leaved his position on overwatch
Read up on 05/06 Battle of Ramadi. Seal team 3 pretty much had freedom to run independent missions. Stuff added for movie but alot of things were pretty close.
I want to thank you both for your service and I enjoy your channel. You guys have a good chemistry- I would suggest you both be technical experts on certain military movies!
I was on my first deployment. We’d just finished training with the Aussies in Darwin and got one night of libo. I’m drinking jugs of VB when it comes on the TV. Next thing I know we all get called back to the ship and everybody on the boat is trying to stand in formation shit-faced. A month later we’re flying from Pakistan to camp Rhino, landing on a dirt air strip in a C-17, getting briefed by General Mattis.
Was doing the daily brief for my troops when I muted the news. They were looking at me and I could still see the TV as the second plane flew into the second tower. My jaw hit the floor, so I un-muted the TV and told my guys "this is what we signed up for." A month later I was in Oman supporting spy planes. God, those first deployments were a shit show.
Trying to stand in formation in the bloody humidity of Darwin after drinking jugs of Vomit Brew is no easy feat. Almost every ADF vet I know drinks, including my family members. I guess it's the easiest way to bock out the shit. Thanks for your service mate.
Nail on the head with your closing comments. I will continue to watch your breakdowns. Semper Fi
Another amazing beers and breakdown !!!
I laughed my arse off at the "I'm taking steroids" bit . Absolutely right though no one in a theater or at home gives a fuck if you got ripped through some perfect natural diet or an anabolic cocktail. Are ye jacked or not and how jacked? That's it.
Don't forget you gotta keep jackin it to stay jacked for the movie
It’s not the same.
Sucks steroids are demonized. I talked to people who have taken them, and they tell me just cycle properly and not abuse them.
@@HLGToys I think they’re demonized because guys that work their ass off for years to achieve their goals have these roid junkies trying to ‘flex’ on them. But natural guys know that in a couple years they will be worse off then when they started. No matter how advanced ped’s get, they will always cause a hormone imbalance, despite what you take to fix it.
Well if no one gave a fuck, a lot less actors would be doing it 🤣 Besides, Media would also put a twist on the story of actors doing steroids, or they themselves want to avoid the stigma of any negative public perception of them using steroids
I like how you guys explain these military movies with your real life experience in the military ! Iam Subbed
@20:10 Come on dudes, there are gold oak leaves on his collar, he's a Marine Major. That aside, thanks for speaking on PTSD. It's good to see many elite soldiers (SEALs, Green Berets, Rangers, etc) that openly talk about their PTSD. It's starting to normalize that PTSD happens and it's OK to seek help.
Dudes 100% a LT. Col , more silver than gold
Navy LCDRs also Have Gold Oak Leaves fyi
@@strykrpinoy Ah, thank you. This old Army grunt isn’t as good with ranks anymore. New topic…like the username.
Army and Marine Corps, Officer rankings are too similar to NOT recognize. Marines should also recognizing Navy ranks. Now I can see if you're Army having a hard time recognizing or remembering Navy or Air Force ranks (actually, not even AF). But C'mon man
I was in Navy JROTC before I enlisted in to the Army so I was pretty good with navy and marine ranks Air Force not so much
I enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work.
Great breakdown guys.....
What kills it for me in these movies is the ridiculous amount of eye relief the actors have when they are looking through the optics.
What do you mean eye relief. Like they're just relaxes looking through the scope?
@@rushpatriot2866the distance from the scope to the eye
Great observation on your B&B's I definitely enjoy hearin the way we talk.
I was 3 blocks away from WTC on 9.11.2001 in NYC on the old West Hyway working as a Dockbuilder local 1456. I was witness to both planes hittin the towers close enough to feel the heat and concussion on my body of the explosive impact. After the towers
collapsed I volunteered on the pile with my union Brothers and Sisters in the rescue/recovery/clean up efforts. Selfless acts and volunteering is what we do ....
I was active duty at a Submarine Squadron on 9/11. Our Command Master Chief was former SFG(A). As we watched and read some message traffic for all 4 planes, he turned to all of us watching the tv and said "You're watching how a war starts, guys. From the looks of it, this will be a long fight."
Need more Stallone impressions 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Once again. Good stuff, gentlemen.
If you haven’t watched it, (The Warfighters) “Charlie Platoon & the Story of Marc Lee” has a damn good episode about Team 3. Has Jocko, the same SEAL that’s in the movie and a few others tell their stories. Everyone should watch it...🦅🇺🇸🦅
My old drill instructor used to talk about the difference between good pain and bad pain. Good pain is getting a extra ammo can to the top. Bad pain is a hole in ur body
You guys bringing the heat
again guys..chill..it's a movie.....when they clear a room and stop prematurely, it is because they need to move the plot along. No one in a theater wants to see them clear the rest of the empty house for the next 5 minutes. Cripes, I've sat under a tree looking at a map for an hour before moving. Do you think the viewers want to see that? In a movie like Zero Dark Thirty, the final raid could do that,. because it was the climax of the entire movie, and the climax of the GWOT (Phase 1 at least...)
You guys do the best break downs!
a treat this episode 👍🪖
This is my favourite one of these yet. Love how honest and candid Buck is about all of this shit, especially how corny some of it is. Keep em coming.
Excellent channel thank you
Wow! Love you guys and how real you are
Yea the studio made up that Enemy Sniper Character (no where was that in Kyle's Autobio that was a Hollywood invention) but in country their was a special bounty for Kyle.
Another great video, guys, but the best part for me was learning the rules for triple shoulder brush. 😄
You two are the best, love your comments
I was getting out of the shower after college ROTC PT and getting dressed for class. I was lacing up my right boot when the second plane hit. Seems like forever ago... My life got real serious after that.
ha I got the caffeinate Mars sticker in san Antonio
Love the channel guys. I was in 8th grade German class (1st period) and very similar story. Our German teacher was called to the door by another teacher. Whispered something. Then our teacher went over to the TV, turned it on, found the news and the 1st tower was smoking. About 3 or 4 mins in we all saw the 2nd plane hit live. No one said anything for a clear 30 secs. Just sorta stunned, not sure what was happening. An 8th grader is old enough to understand what they are seeing but has zero foresight as to what whas actually happening in the moment. Our German teacher just sat at her desk watching it with us. And yep, every period for the rest of the day had the TV on. We didn't end school early, but tons of rumors about school going to a half day, and parents just coming off work to get their kids. By 7th period, most of the school was a ghosttown because most everyone had been picked up by their parents by 2pm. It was just a surreal day.
Fast forward 10 years and I found myself in Kandahar. Definitely wise words from his teacher to say, "this is going to affect you and change your lives forever." To realize that in the moment... strong foresight.
I can truly say in 50 years when I'm 85yo, that the biggest moment that changed the trajectory of my life (and the country) was 9/11. I'll remember a pre-9/11. And a post 9/11 world. It changed so much.
Your ending statement was awesome. 👍
Please do "Thin red line"
I was a junior in high school and was taking the absentee list to the office when the first plane hit. The office staff was about to make the announcement when we watched the second plane hit. I left for work an hour later as I only had 2 class then went to work... the main roads were empty! I worked at a oil change shop and watched the news all day because we didn't have any customers. I came home and drilled a whole in the roof of my van a hung the biggest American flag I could find from it! 911 is still thought about by those who know what they were doing and where they were at on that day. Sad how far this country has fallen in the years after!
Great video, still waiting for Jarhead though
You guys gonna react to Act of Valor?
He was definitely talking about Tim Kennedy with the “bounty on my head” comment. Lol
Such a douche! I use to follow him on Insta until he was bitching about drinking unpasteurized milk...
Not always the hunted or the hunter….sometimes you may be the one who gathers the berries and grain
Good point on the shoulder brush, never noticed that before haha 21:00
I like how you guys broke down the shoulder brush thing 😂🤣
You know, hearing you talk about PTSD & giving back, I wonder if that's the best cure, to teach.
I have CPTSD, ironically not from my time in the military but from my childhood, and teaching has always helped calm me down & get rid of the constant feeling of waiting for ish to hit the fan.
Could it be that it makes the insane events that lead to PTSD seem like it's worth it if you can pass on your knowledge in whatever field you can?
I hear you on that one. I've been diagnosed with PTSD and have multiple family members who are ADF veterans suffering from it. My uncle was SASR and CDO, got paralysed legs down after being thrown 35 metres from a black hawk in Afghanistan. He now mentors returned diggers and police officers who suffer from PTSD. He uses his own trauma to help other veterans. Thanks for your service.
Lone survivor next! Awesome vid bro keep it up!
Love watching you breakdown movies! Y'all gotta do Full Metal Jacket sometime.
My dad: "You're either a sheep, a sheep dog, or a wolf..."
Me: "What about being a hippo?"
My Dad: *Dafuq look*
Me: "Ever notice how no one screws with a Hippo? It's because they can be the meanest SoB out there, their skin is so tough and thick, that lions can't even bite through it. They live life by the code of "Don't start none, won't be none", and their bite can cleave a lion in half. They also can't swim, they actually run on the bottom and jump to surface from the water. They just want to be left alone"
My Dad: *Dafuq look intensifies*
Me: "Or I could be like an Elephant, They are very family oriented, outstanding memory, very protective of their family, and will curb stomp any jackass who has any type of hostile or non-hostile intentions towards their family. Plus, the bigger ones will shake trees to get the palm nuts to drop for the smaller ones in the family. They can even scare a hippo."
My Dad: "I knew I should have used a condom that night..."
Your story about where you were when the towers fell is exactly like mine. Was 16 and walking past my buddy's grandma watching it on the news and not 2 minutes after I sat down to watch the second one hit live. Blew my mind at the time. Right at that moment everyone knew it wasn't an accident anymore. I remember everyone thinking the attacks were going to keep going. Scary af at the time.
You guys should do Zero Dark Thirty next!
If that sniper in your Q course didn't want to discuss his kills, why did he memorialize them in the form of tattoos that could be seen by other people?
Because deep down he wants ppl to ask about it so that he can be a douche about it lol
My thoughts exactly.
Like with art look don't touch, look don't ask.
It's a part of him that he will carry with him for his life. I'm sure he didn't do it to show off or to use as a talking point, dude doesn't have to prove anything to anyone.
Not saying it would be for everyone. Kind of like (in a different way) if someone loses someone close to them and gets a tattoo to remember them. Not like they got that Tattoo to use as a talking point to start a conversation.
At the same time you can't get too pissed if someone does ask about it, sniper handled it pretty much exactly as you'd expect.
I was in community college on 9/11. English literature class. I had been a high-school dropout, but had just gotten my first merit based scholarship. So, I was getting my S together. I came into class, heard what was happening, and saw the video when I got home. Saw a recruiter that next week, swore in January 2022. Not sure what my life would look like had I not enlisted, but I'm sure I'd be a very different person.
Forks in the road, man. The path not chosen. Trippy to think about.
I was in primary school in London England, it was huge to us to trust me, my teachers were crying, we all watched on the TV's In school, everything came at a stand still, we got sent home
But I remember watching the second plane hit, that was insane, was literally a little panic and they sent us all home,
I was born in 94, I still remember that like yesterday, and I'm not even American.
That shoulder brush pass bit is hilarious😂😂😂
Chris's crusauder cross tattoo was identified and put on a poster with a bounty for just him. The nicknamed him "The Devil of Ramadi" and Dauber in the movie is Dauber in real life. He played him self in the movie and was actually on the Ramadi deployment with Chris. And yes they had HVT list. The problem with the movie that causes confusion is they combined Chris's fallujah deployment and his ramadi deployment.
i've never got to meet chris kyle but one of my drill SGT in BCT got to meet him and do some training exercises with him, and he would always say how humble of a person he really was
I still remember that day vividly! I was suspended from school so I was having the time of my life playing with my stuffed animals having wrestling matches. I saw the news and went to change the channel to watch cartoons but it was on every channel. I was 11 years old and has no clue what was going on but I knew it was bad. RIP to all the souls lost that day and afterwards because of this.
I was standing duty driver watch at NAF Atsugi. I watched the 2nd plane hit the tower, and told everyone standing there to get ready cause we were about to go to war.
In about 1953, I was about 7, during the Suez Canal crisis, I asked my mom if this country was always at war.
She got a odd look on her face and said, "It seems like it."
My dad had been in North Africa, Sicily and Italy with Patton.
Mom was right.
Respect honesty thank you for this video (all Your videos) but yes this one special
4th grade Social Studies class. The teacher mentioned there was an attack, but for the most part they kept quiet around us. Didn’t understand fully what happened till I got home and watched the news.
Dude hellyeah I have Generation Kill on DVD (yes I still buy/ collect DVD's for you youngins), awesome show as was Tour of Duty ('Nam tv show that was always on right after I got out of school). Was a Freshman in HS when 9/11 happened, remember it like it was yesterday. Crazy to think I've been out 14 years already now (got out in '08 for those that can't math good), some days I don't feel that old, other days I definitely feel it.
Got to dig around and see if I still have my HVT deck of cards, got a couple other cool things from back when too.
Most of the stuff in the movie wasn't mentioned in his book. No sniper vs sniper, no hunting the butcher. In the book he writes about shooting IED emplacers and random insurgents.
Great video! Any chance of reviewing older movies like John Wayne's "Green Berets" ? Looking forward to more videos.
Watched the 2nd plane go in during Home room. My biggest memory that day was football practice being cancelled.. my mom coming to pick me up and while waiting it was the first time in Chicago I looked up and the sky was absolutely quiet. The most eerie quiet where you don’t hear any planes or jets going over the city and then I believed everything had changed.
On 9/11...I was in the 4th grade, and it was school picture day. We didn't know about the planes hitting the tower until we got back to class, and our teacher who was so frustrated that we weren't listening to her during the pictures, that when we she turned on the news to show us what happened to the towers, she said, "This is what can happen when you're not paying attention and listening when you're told to."
same here, I turned on the TV, saw tower 1 burn, saw the 2nd plane and thought it was a recording of the 1st plane, crashing...and then realised...wait, the other tower is already burning?!?
Just for the absolute hell of it (like the minigun in the movie itself) I’d love to see you guys do a reaction to the original 1987 Predator.
Guys, I really love your channel.. wondering if it's possible for you to review band of brothers.. I'd love to know your point of view about those different military era.. just may be.. 😁
"...to be perfectly honest....[for a movie]... I'm taking steroids!"
LMFAO!!!!
I wasn't expecting that!
Lmao when Buck said “Im here to fuck shit up.” “Yes ya are.”
I was at work here in the UK, afternoon shift. No access to TV or Radio, though hearing all manner of reports from people having phones and radio access. Most Brits had no idea of any of "OBL", but yes 20+ years later the world has got no better. Great video gentlemen thank you. Also your point about the "bounty" for sure here in the UK 70s to late 90s all of Her Majesty's Armed Forces would be instructed to keep their mouths shut regards their service because of possible reprisals.
Please react to lone survivor one time!
Really is crazy to think about the 20 years of fighting behind that moment.
Love Generation Kill. I recommend checking out the YT channel Savage Actual. It's co-run by one of the guys from that unit (and featured in GenKill) Jason Lilley. He and another vet Patrick Moltrup do military themed breakdowns, reactions and gaming among other things.
I really think they should read the books that some of these movies are based upon just so they can give us context for what the movies are showing. Because tbh I've read the books to black hawk down, we were soldiers, 13 hours, American Sniper, not Lone survivor, I really should tbh. Anyway. Those books gave me more of an appreciation to the movies. Like some of the scenes in American Sniper makes no sense to what Kyle said in his book while other parts made more sense. Just a thought
You mean like in the book he said he would have let Marines die before killing a kid?
@@snowroaches or where he said during hurricane katrina he sat on top of the dome and sniped people robbing businesses and gas stations
Something that always caught me when I was in places my dad had been in a decade or more before me, Doing the same stuff he did. It's a chilling realization, It is also sad to see how much more he struggles and it makes me feel guilty that I don't struggle nearly as bad, I even did my senior project in high school on PTSD (now PTSS) due to watching him struggle throughout the few times I had lived with him growing up as well as my grandfather who was an LRRP Marine in Vietnam. Don't get me wrong, I saw some terrible things but I think when I kinda became numb when I was forced to watch the Jordanian Pilot who was burned alive (early 2015) for 10hrs over and over by my command to the point where I can still picture it so vividly in my mind 7+ years later (I was in a recon squadron at the time and they wanted us to see how evil they truly were since we were on QRF at the time). It numbed me so heavily to everything to the point where when my mother passed a few months later, I cried for maybe 20 minutes and then buried the feelings, until recently when the new medication my Doc's put me on forced the emotions to come back. I still don't think I am completely okay after that but I feel for our brothers and sisters that are going through their own struggles by themselves.
If you are going through tough times please don't think you are alone, you aren't. We all have our own battles but we also have a bond many will never understand. Reach out, I'd rather hear your story or even just game with you to give you support, than see you as a statistic. Please.
Much Love to everyone and keep driving forward, we are a special group of people who have so much to offer to others even if you don't believe it or see it yet.
YOU MATTER.
that was deep homie. i want to thank you, your father and grandpa for y'alls service
When he said be super humble about it i really heard " be super homo about it " * zips back up pants * " yeah i was just imbedding "
Excellent episode with excellent anecdotes as always. But it would be much better if you could put the audio of the movie just a tad bit louder. It's barely readable.
