The reason for only two people getting the medal of honor, is the being shot and allowing themselves to bleed out to keep the mission a success. The medal of honor here is essentially for accepting you are going to die, but doing what is necessary in the situation anyways, even if not doing your job could have given you a higher chance at survival. The whole crew was there, but only two of them made the decision to let themselves die, to keep the mission a success. Also, the award they did get, is like the second or third highest medal you can get if I remember right, so its not like they didn't get recognized, they just didn't lay down their life directly.
Spot on!
Correct, could be wrong but IIRC and AFAIK the order is Congressional Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart (Depending on the Era).
So the entire crew got the 3rd highest medal of Valor in a previous mission, then the 2 seriously wounded/killed got the highest with the rest of the crew getting the second highest medals of Valor on the last mission, with some Purple Hearts sprinkled in. (Medal for being wounded or killed in service against the enemy, by the enemy, and necessitating medical treatment by a medical officer).
Additional info unrelated to Ole' 666 and the Eager Beavers:
The meanings and requirements of the medals vary throughout US history, such as the CMoH used to also be given for normal things such as running a base well, etc, until it was limited in the late 1800's to its modern requirements. Even then, you used to be able to receive multiple of them as long as it was in a separate action, that was until the US Marine Dan Daly (TFE has an excellent video on him as well) was nominated for his 3rd well deserved CMoH in WWI, after receiving his 1st in the Boxer Rebellion and his second in Cuba or Haiti I think, and Congress decided "NO, 3's not fair for one person" so he got a DSC and SIlver Star instead with Congress limiting CMoH's to 1 per person a year later which is why we don't see badasses with 2 anymore. They just get other medals after the 1st CMoH with them being barred from joining thay legendary club and status of those that came before them. So look at the other high awards a CMoH recipient after 1919 has received and read the citations for them receiving it, there's a chance they could've been a multiple recipient just hidden behind a lesser medal because of bureaucratic blowhards with an inferiority complex.
Another example is the Purple Hearts 💜 various meanings throughout its history, it was usually just a medal for heroic or meritous conduct and didn't require being killed or wounded until 1944-ish. And has even changed since, in 1952 being retroactively awarded as far back as 4/6/1917, JFK (Only US President ever to have a Purple Heart) insisting civilians wounded or killed in service to US Armed forces be eligible (Unfortunately this was gradually limited afterwards and eligibility has since been restricted back to Armed Forces, and removed most civilian claims), under Regan it was expanded to include being injured in a terrorist attack or peacekeeping operations.
So many Purple Hearts were made for the planned invasion of Japan (500,000 for Operation Downfall), that they didn't have to make more until the 90's, with more Downfall Era stockpiles found sometimes and refurbished to be added to the pool of medals and possibly be received.
It's not accepting you will die, it is disregarding your own life in favor of others lives.
its not pink, its light red!
🫡 to them all, legends.🇺🇸
For reference, 20mm rounds are just a bit bigger than the O on dudes hat.
Man got hit with those rounds, and kept flying a bomber, as if it were a fighter jet...
Cut from a different cloth.
nah 20mm is about the same size as that O or maybe even a little bit smaller but its still so impressive what the human body can go through, my man was definetly built different
its about the size of 0.00000001 football fields
@@exy47 50% of blood is almost fatal
The thing about those rounds though is they're designed to be used against hard targets and have so much power behind them that they don't end up transferring much of their energy compared to something smaller like a 50bmg hitting a person, the hole is nearly 2x as big but there should hopefully be less internal damage as they just zip through rather than tumbling or bouncing off bones since 20mm is much moreso an anti tank round than an anti person one. I would absolutely love to see 20mm hollow points tested someday though cause that would be absolutely devastating
@@noodlelynoodle. 20mm hollow points would need so much hydraulic pressure to cause them to expand, that it would literally take an elephant to deform the slug.
Currently one of my favorite stories from the fat electrician, and for some reason every time I hear it, invisible onion cutting ninjas invade my room as well.
Bro I've spent over a decade in kitchens and for some reason when I watch this video those onion cutting ninjas are constantly cutting onions with dull knives 😢
My co-workers always said they couldn't believe how I talked to the bosses. I'd say, they don't want to get rid of me. I know my job, I do my job, and I do it well. Bosses know, somebody got to do the work!! (pipefitter/welder, industrial construction) I had a poem I would recite to the person hiring: I can long-arc, short-arc, heli-arc, tack. I'm a pipefitter, ironworker, lumberjack. Run any machine that will make a track. And do the boss-man's job 'till he gets back. Now. What do you need me for?
The F6F Hellcat was created by Northrop-Grumman. They also made your mail truck...the Grumman LLV.
In modern war, infrastructure is more important than personnel. The enemy's war machine cannot function if you deprive him of nice things.
Yeah but remember these officers back then were all about huff and puff.
These guys need their own action movie
The F6F Hellcat was made by Grumman "Iron Works". You should watch Dogfights US Hellcat vs. Japanese Zero in WWII (S1, E6) Full episodes by the HISTORY channel
When i realized he thought mopar made the hellcat i was like, omg brother seriously!
@@cookiezr4milk429 nice profile pic and name
When at war, men who have nerve to crazy stuff, and skills like theirs, tend to not get court-martialed because they will eventually need them for something like this
23:40 You never want to fight Willie.
He’s part of an air crew that went 10-14 vs 500 and won, no one wants that smoke.
Chubby electron guy ads are usually worth the watch just for the skit he writes for each one.
“Put your uniform down, you don’t deserve to fight no more.” Is a 25/10 insult to any combatant. Straight up “You’re not worth the time and bullets it would take to kill you, which is 3 seconds and 1 round.”
When I was a Kid, I was playing with a Kitten, and it went rogue and was like, "imma hang from your eye-ball for a little while." To which I replied, "Ow"
Went to the eye doctor, everything's fine no damage was done, congrats 20/20 vision still.
Time goes on, and I come to realize that my Right eye is now immune to the effects of light on the human eye.
Long Story Short: I've never had to buy sun glasses because I can just close my left eye on a sunny day and see clear as day through my right eye. It's actually super useful and I consider it my "Super Power" 😅
Dude, fat electrician has alot of these, get ready. LOL, great story teller, with funny sh*+ in it. Haha
The guy that took out the 200 enemies was the most gangster marine dan daily
22:25 The Beavers could "NOT" be court marshaled for defying orders because "then" it would become official that said Superiors were intentionally bombing civilians, thus caught in a Catch 22 of their own creation, they just grounded the flight crew instead.
thats not how that worked at that period of time, any military affiliation makes it a viable target, and the japs built all war manufacturing and troop housing inside cities making the whole cities viable targets, bombing was incredibly inaccurate so box formations were used, it wasnt until desert storm and the advent of guided munitions and the implementation of gps constellations that we could attack specific targets and focus on minimizing civilian casualties. it is important to look at history with a period appropriate lense and not our current capabilities and sensabilities
Not quite how that works. As long as there were valid military targets with the civilians, it was fair game.
@jameshunt9208 high publicity targets make it a pr nightmare.
@@steelgreyed PR nightmare and war crimes are very different things lol
Dude you need to watch Long Odds from the "Dogfights!" series. it actually has Old 666 as one of the stories in the episode
Have you seen his angry old man vs 700 red coats it is insane ,the first American OG
Any "civilian" who activlu aids the enemy in any way, for any reason, is a valid legal milatary target under the international rules of wsr.....for future refrence
Happy New Year, Big Holla.
Happy new years !!
36:55 Quick clarification. I do not consider 20mm to be artillery, you have to at least double that girth for me to agree, however that is still a 3/4 inch wide piece of lead traveling at mach nope, with friends..... Here's where your comparison breaks down however. A Zero has a, forward only facing, pair of these guns, two, which can be directly compared to the 50 cal; which is effectively a half inch piece of lead traveling at the same speed of Nope with friends, only she has 19..... of them..... many of them duel linked like Doublemint Gum.... with a MUUUUUUUUCH larger canister of bullets. Lucy ..IS.. the Charizard facing 20 Charmeleons. Still not good odds, but those Zero's had no idea what was cutting them out of the air like so much paper, from every conceivable angle.
...
That being said, getting hit, as a human, by a gun designed to take down the much larger plane you are inside.... Not a good day...
the hellcat was the name for the f6f which was made by Grumman they also made the f4f wildcat and f8f bearcat
The 20 mike mike detonates on impact thus you get showered by shrapnel!
Yes it is a war crime to purposely kill civilians. But back during WWII we did not have the accuracy that we have now so civilian deaths were considered acceptable collateral damage depending on the importance of the primary target(the leading generals to the enemy is a very important target) so civilian losses are acceptable(back then). If you think that is bad, look into the fire bombing we did in Japan during WWII.
Technically the Nazi's are the 1st recorded bombing at civilians when it bombed London "accidentally" then like you said indiscriminate bombing became more common (London, Dresden, Tokyo etc).
It's also the Japanese. They didn't believe in the differences between civie and military
I like the George Foreman reference I mean I just gotta say that
The soldier of the ww1 and ww 2 where just built different the a lost breed of humans
12:37 I think that is Audie Murphy.
15:15 America didn't start the war though 😂
Great reaction! Keep em coming
If he was 6 ft tall it's highly unlikely he was a ball turret gunner. Those guys were usually under six feet because they had to be in a fetal position in order to be fit inside the ball turret.
The Hellcat car is named after the plane. The fighter was made by Northrop Gruman.
It's not a war crime the first time
Draw Four lmao, gonna click it for that alone
whoever that vincent dude is doesnt realize it wasnt a war crime then.... lmao
The guy you're reacting to has a shirt that says it's not a war crime the first time.
Hillary we came we saw he died. Shes so brave lmao
Hellcat isnt Dodge Its the F4F Hellcat Plane Followed by the F4U Corsair
might as well accept ur doom when u see that 666 jet
The m2 Brownings they used were the Fighter Plane M2 Machine guns
Meaning
These Machine Guns have a Fire Rate of
1500 rounds a minute
The same fire rate as the Nazi Mg42 Machine Gun which has the same fire rate as a
MiniGun
All you hear is
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT
Well I don't think the hellcat know the hellcat was not made by Dodge but Dodge has been around since like 1915 1920 something like that
Im ex navy and way back to the 91. Our captain was great. The chiefs were great. The officers stayed out of the way. Clinton became president and shit went to hell. I did my time.
War crimes don’t exist for the winning team
You thinking Basilon in the Pacific or audie in Europe?
So they dropped around 10%-17% of their total weight
These guys were like
Biggie
Tupac
50 Cent
Ice Cube
Eminem
Jay Z
Snoop Dawg
Getting together and causing mayhem
One of the most American stories
Lets gooooo
There is a KEY word that someone left out, yes INTENTIONALLY killing civilians can sometimes be considered a war crime, BUT UNINTENTIONALLY killing civilians is almost NEVER a war crime, and this crew, (OR BOMBADIER) was NOT targeting civilians, he was targeting an ammunition depot, and then a fuel depot, his target was MATERIAL, not PERSONELL, so that is a HUGE distingishment that NEEDS to be made, NOW with all of that said, one of the brutal realities of warfare, is that the weapons used DO NOT, CAN NOT distinguish between soldiers wearing a uniform of the opposing force, a soldier wearing a uniform of an ally, a soldier wearing the uniform of the very same army, or a civilian, wheather that civilian be a man, woman, old person, child or baby. and UNFORTUNATELY civilian casualties during a war, is something that HAS always happened, it sucks, but that is the cold hard truth of the matter, in a war innocent people always die in the crossfire. I am sorry to taint your rose colored glasses, where YOU believe that civilians do not die during a war, now granted, in the United States of America, we DO TAKE tremendous measures to prevent innocents from being killed during the fighting, as well EVERYONE SHOULD, but again UNFORTUNATELY, that is not always something that can be controlled 100%. so to that person who spewed off about a war crime, that person should probably do a bit of research and find out what the definition of a war crime is.
This reactor is the epitome of retaining 15% of what somebody says
I remembered it all 🫨
Had a Couple of Grandfather's involved in operation Cartwheel
Two were code talkers the were Motarman
Dont ever trust an occifer
Brlliant
Hellcat doesn't make engines, they carry the engine, also called the Grumman F5 Hellcat a deadly fighter plane that beat the Mitsubishi Zero into submission
Exactly, the F6F was powered by a Pratt&Whitney "Double Wasp"
Are you saying that the Imperial Japanese Military told lies to maintain face?
Imagine my shock. (No really, you'll have to imagine it since it doesn't exist.)
The guns were connected to the cameras. I'm betting the videos of the fight were intense
No, not willy lol
19:45 it was not a war crime to kill civilians until AFTER ww2, while their were attrociteis before, it wasn't a law until after he bombing of cities became commonplace in ww2.
ITS NOT ALL ABOUT REPUTATION. Regardless of how successful he defied orders and you cant just do that unless you are given an unlawful order. But that dude talking about war crimes is brain dead, this was ww2.
The browning is a good weapon
Actually it was 2666, but still. I get it.
They were 'menaces' in the best way tho... unless you were command/... but they're mostly jerks anyway.
Gangster
Fuckin pay attention
Happy new year Eve big holla I found a funny UA-cam video and it Coryxkenshin in 2 years he play the outlast trials. And it a funny video
'killing civilians is a war crime" Sorry but no. Intentionally targeting civilians RATHER than military is a war crime. The hotel in question had been commandeered by the Japanese Navy and was being used as an officers club (a meeting place for officers to hang out, party, and discuss strategy) meaning it was a legitimate military target. If you drop a bomb on an enemy military site and kill civilians that are also there, that is called collateral damage not war crimes.
Okay so you retract partials on your comments
Reaction videos are dumb. Basically watching someone who is watching UA-cam and piggy-backing off their content.
………you could maybe …..not watch them…just a thought
It makes them more enjoyable
