    What Nick didn't mention is that Reckless was notorious for eating stuff like the campaign hat the Aussies gave her and one of her blankets and in cold nights in Korea she would sleep in the tents with the Marines
    Also when customs held Reckless they inferred that one of the diseases she might have was a STD which pissed the Marines off for questioning her honor

    • @tanall5959
      @tanall5959 5 місяців тому +7

      I wager the last one was just as much the Marines pissed at him questioning her honor as it was a 'what, PRECISELY, are you implying?' moment. Leading directly to the silently confirmed plan to add another unmarked grave to Doolan Canyon.

      @@tanall5959 I very much doubt that the guy was trying to imply anything. STDs didn't start with humans and have been around almost since sexual reproduction became a thing. As a example Koalas have a big problem with chlamydia.

    "24 pounds up a 45 degree incline equals the suck in any language you can possibly imagine." New favorite quote right there, and you're totally right as well. I wouldn't want to do that hill with NO gear, let alone however much shit they want to load down on their "light" infantry.
    Also if you're wondering, that bit at the end about the toilet paper is referencing his video on single ply toilet paper, which is also awesome.

    So I work with horses for a living and here's a crazy fact you probably never knew about horses:
    It's not uncommon to give horses beer to help muscle recovery after doing strenuous work.
    So when the Marines gave Sergeant Reckless beer it actually helped her. Now I can't comment on the mixed drinks or the amount of beer the Marines gave her but it wasn't all bad for Sergeant Reckless.😁😅

      Another neat fact that many people may not realize is that even tho horses are herbivores they can and will eat meat if the opportunity presents itself. So the marines feeding her bacon and eggs (tho probably not the healthiest due to the grease) isn’t as strange as you might think.

    I absolutely LOVE how when reactors that watches this video get to the point where leadership doesn't think the American public would want to pay to bring Reckless back to the US, everybody, whether their American or not, instantly agrees that _yes, yes they would absolutely pay to bring her home._ *Because she's a fucking war hero and she deserves to come home.*

    Every time I see a new Fat Electrician video I'm like "Why tf is this not a modern major motion picture?" Like the Eager Beavers for example, or Lewis Millett, or the DeHavlin Mosquito, these are all outstanding movie idea. Aimo, eh I dunno, it would be pretty funny I think. The Ghost of Battan I think would be another good one, or a modernized one for Jake McNeice.

Only good modern day action guy that comes to my mind is Chris Pratt, a lot of the other action stars would be too old to play the part.

    Just thought I should add context to the toilet paper comment in the post credit scene.
    Mr fat electrician’s wife bought 1ply toilet rolls. Or as Nick says they are military grade toilet paper. He was not happy, so not happy that he actually made a video on it.
    I think for the end credit scene Nick actually made it a joke, for those of us have actually seen that video.
