ANOTHER FREE (half) EPISODE | A GRUNT'S LIFE SEASON 2 | VET Tv
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Most Marines are under the age of 24 years old, many come from low income neighborhoods, and many of them chose the Marine Corps because they’ve dealt with some form of abuse or neglect.
The Marine infantry is an even more unique group of violent men, because we all have some desire for up close and personal violence, danger, killing, and death. Additionally, the Marine Corps instills high standards of proficiency, fitness, motivation, hygiene, and appearance.
On top of that, the Marine Corps (and Army) infantry instills huge egos in these young, aggressive, testosterone filled men.
When you put a group of men like that in a small living space with a group of Afghan soldiers who not only have lower standards across the board, but who are terrible at their jobs, and further, don’t appear to give a fuck about protecting their nation - you’re gonna get a little drama, and fists are gonna fly.
I never personally experienced a brawl on my base, but I did experience a Mexican standoff, which is almost worse.
Jamie Goldstien on the other hand, (Army grunt, co-Director, co-writer, and actor) did experience at least one brawl with the Iraqi Army, and thankfully wrote this scene.
(08:04) IED’s were the primary cause of casualties while we were there, so lots of our SOPs were intended to mitigate the IED threat. We grunts had a few hard rules in Helmand.
1 - Don’t go through doors if you don’t have to. Why? Doors have IEDs.
2 - If you see wires anywhere, there might be IEDs nearby. If you see wires on a door, there’s an IED on the door, so, don’t go through the door.
3 - If you can blow your way in, do it. There are no IEDs in holes you made yourself.
In the scene, the platoon sees a wire on a door, and immediately knows two things. 1) The door has an IED, so we’re not going through it. 2) The compound is home to either Taliban, or Taliban sympathizers, because if the homeowners didn’t place the IED themselves, they allowed the Taliban to do it.
If we think we’re entering the home of our enemy, we’re going to raise our level of aggression, and we’re gonna blow our way in.
Sadly, those wires were not connected to an IED, and the people in the home were not the enemy, but a shitty situation led to shitty circumstances, and a civilian got hurt. Further, the assaultman who placed the demo on the wall might have the civilian death on his conscience for the rest of his life, contributing to poor mental health.
It’s all a part of the clusterfuck that was Afghanistan…
(11:43)
This scene was based on a true story about Matiyes Kinker, a Marine grunt who served in the Helmand Province shortly after I did. Matiyes is also the actor playing Sgt Jax Bishop, and one of the writers of AGL 2.
In the real story, Matiyes was on a small patrol base with a group of Afghan National Army soldiers, when one of the ANA started making his buddies laugh with monkey noises and words that Matiyes didn’t understand. Matiyes yelled, “somebody get the fuckin terp, I wanna know what this piece a shit is saying.”
The terp came over, Matiyes said, “what’s this guy saying?”
The terp asked the ANA soldier in Pashtu, “what did you say to the Marine?”
The ANA soldier said something that looked condescending, Matiyes cringed. The terp said to Matiyes, “he’s just being stupid, you shouldn’t worry about him.”
Matiyes’ anger rose as he paced back and forth, “Na f$k that, tell me what he f$kin said!”
The terp was visibly uncomfortable, “he’s just a punk kid, it’s no problem.”
The ANA said one more thing that made Matiyes lose his shit, and his squad had to hold him back until the platoon commander and platoon sergeant got involved.
When the Marines and Afghans went back to their tents, Matiyes had to sit with the reality of the situation. He was in Afghanistan, risking his life to save Afghans from the Taliban, and the people he was there to help, looked at him like he was a monkey. To this very day, this hurts his soul and spirit, and he wonders how he was put into that position.
When he told me this story, I saw it as clearly as you see it on the screen now, except I asked an important question that changed the course of the show.
“What did you WANT to do to that racist?”
Matiyes’ head cocked to the side and he smiled, “I wanted to beat him to death man, F$k you think I wanted to do?”
I lit up and jumped around the room, “ok, what if we wrote that into the scene? But what if we made it NASTY, like you bum rush him, push kick him into the wall, and then pick him up and pile drive him, snapping his neck and turning him into a quadraplegic that we abuse for the rest of the show!!!??”
Matiyes and the rest of the room laughed, we hugged and I said, “that’s happening bro, just you watch, that’s happening.”
This, my friends, is how we process tragedy, and “make the best of it.”

That’s a lot of words
Tell me a box set will be released
Love these details because it helps us civies get the context! Love the show!
@@chrisafism too bad im not readin em'
The birth of "superman"!
Interesting read and fairly detailed for being so short.
I've always wanted to serve in the Marine corps, but had to work my whole life and am just now (in my 30s) getting my GED so I can enlist. Well, I might not.. US leadership is crap and I am not a fan of the covid vaccine mandate.
Either way, thanks for your service and thanks for the free content. Marines are the best in my eyes. You guys are badass and do what needs to be done to protect one another when it comes down to it.
🇺🇸 love you guys with all my soul!
*"THASSA QUAD BABY! WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"* 🤣
Probably one of the greatest woos I've ever heard in my life! Knowing the back story Donny left in the comments made it so much more satisfying ❤️
Medium knock part and P for plenty had the combat engineer side of me dying laughing.
Best ANP members:
1. Bear Jew
2. Michael Jackson
3. Cup guy
lmao they're all death innit in the end of the show?
That whole damn exchange into the pile driver was so damn funny
😂😂😂😂 he’s legs no work 😂😂😂😂 he’s arms no work too wooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
DASSA QUAD, BABY!!!!
I really do appreciate the back ground information you give in these, thanks for sharing!
Netflix needs to consider this show real shiiiiii&
Netflix would neuter it
Fuck Netflix this show Need's freedom
Nah. It would never be the same. Those fuckers would destroy vet tv
@@gondorian1006 I agree about Netflix. Otoh, it could make a great anime - just imagine everything being the same but with fifteen year old girls with huge eyes…
@@TheGreatAmphibianand two great personalities on their chest.
“That’s a quad, that’s a quad baby!” I love Bishop 😂😂
His legs no work.
His arms no work.
Fucking Lost My Shit!!!!!! RRRAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Foot through the door getting stuck, can relate, also don't try to kick out car windshields.
The moment I heard the line "soft knock", I knew things will go to shit hahaha
2 deployments to Afghanistan 09 and 11 as a senior guy the first like minutes of this is so real he is not hostile ….. his guys just mortared us and have been in placing IED o and those Gus fights we were in were his guys and him but he wants to talk now cause we smoked all of his guys or they blew them selves up putting in IED or got caught with some air or 25 mm trying to engulf our patroll base !!
Loved how the black soldiers were just fucking with him and probably wouldn’t even care if he said it or not
I just gotta say something about thinking and feeling your arms and legs no work anymore... I got a hella concussion one time and came to with my arms and legs still kibbying with no control or feeling and my immediate thought was fuck I'm paralyzed and maybe done, at that exact moment my buddy was leaning down looking at me and touched my head and goes, "you got strawberry jelly coming out of your head let's make some toast".. and I started laughing back into being ok and everything working again after a few seconds.. funniest shit ever..
That sounds like quite the shock! Nice of your bud to try and cheer up the room.
his legs no work is where i lost my mind
12:42 That Powerbomb doe👁🫦👁
for reals lol
13:50 LMAOOOOOO “A real bad word”

"No one thinks this war is a game"
"Go long"
God, this has to be one of my favorite episodes. Fucking amazing. Keep it up.
The guy in the house deos not speak arabic he speaks turkish with a wierd arabic bass tone pronanciations but his wife speaks arabic. Is there reason for this?
There were plenty of Arabs in Afghanistan as well as turks so it shouldn't surprise anyone,hell there's even japanese in Afghanistan,the famous ones are dr nakamura who helped build the canals there as well as chef hiromi yasui who runs her sushi restaurant in kabul.

@@newguy954 Afghanistan is a interesting and strange place
@@bhbxgoclran2174 indeed
@@newguy954 It’s rare though, very rare.
However, it is knowledge that the Turks helped ISIS at one point.
Also, they probably ran out of Arabic looking dudes and decided to stick in a Turk, lol
“He legs no work” 😂
Bishop is my spirit animal lmao
This show is fucking great man
The Afghani in the durag killed me
Well Done.
Love this series!!!
Probably some sort of SR-71 pilots vision
Hard knock Less C4!! Lol,, Love this show
Radio DJ guy is my fav.
The ANP getting choked out by 2 guys is usually the cool ANP 😂😂
10:35 have you ever wondered what they put in the fake crab or fake lobster that you can buy at the supermarket????? 😮
12:52 how us and uk soldiers get physical 😂
9:11 hits different in 2024.
That’s a quad baby 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah Johnson that guy
the most expendable pawn.
Perfect
Oohrah!!!
I like how you guys replaced all the Pashto and Dari with Arabic. Pretty hilarious 😂
They've mentioned this on other videos, they pretty much use whichever translator was available in the recording studio that day. They've used Pashto, Arabic, and Turkish in the past.
@@Meirstein all muslims are the same ig
@@ineedapharmists You try find an accurate translator and speaker willing to work for this show in America today to be fair
@@Meirsteinhonestly, that's fair enough. This is kinda a low production set, so I don't blame them for not blowing wads of cash (and time) trying to obtain someone who speaks that language.
Why does this feel like it happened in some fashion? 😂😂😂 Especially the washing hands before touching the food!! I went through that 😮 i was angry when they didn't wash their hands, like you, nasty little camel lovers what the actual f**
As far as I know it's a puke civilian the Marine corps always says get some. What if you already have it? And your puke civilian what do you do with that? I guess we'll all find out at the end of the day. Stay tough . O'ORAH MARINES THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE ALL OF THE ALMONDS LOL ELEMENTS THIS IS THE best thing ever seen
That one grunt looks like Elon Musk
10:54 comedy gold
oh damn i wasnt expecting the guy to talk turkish 9:02
So the hilarious part is the Arabic in Helmand.
Is there anyway I can get a full version of your intro song 🤘🏻
Kajaki dam Helmand providence 2011. The last real war zone of that time.
8:07 -- WIRES???? There’s no free cable in Afghanistan kick that fucking door down!!!!!!
*Oprime la estrella*
Ay since your spanish speaking guy just walked out, I'll take his job easy day
Yo.. everyone, make sure you read the description/ more TAB under the video.
Perfect fucking frame to end on
This shit is sooooo funny! 🤣🤣🤣
What your favorited color of crayon?
I'am still not paying
Why?
@@DonnyOMalley 1. Cheap SOBs don't like paying for stuff? 2. Vet TV is hilarious but simultaneously completely degenerate. Paying for it seems like a wholesale admission that our complete sense of humor has been consumed by morbid gallows humor. Just spit-balling here
@@DonnyOMalley huge fan of your work, keep it up.
@@DonnyOMalley Are you guys available outside the US, or would I need a VPN?
@@DonnyOMalley I personally love your guys work. Its truly amazing
Swimmingly Sir
FUCK YEAH
“Fuck this is serious” 💀💀
“His legs no work” AYYYYYYY
That's not far off the behavior I've heard stories of those people impersonating soldiers
Not Mil. Not a vet. Worked with a lot of peacefuls and Bishop is now my Spirit animal 😂 also, you should try to portray them more realistically. The 70 or so that I worked with at one depot were way, waaaaay nastier.
1st.😎🤣🤣😂💥
Wtf does The afghan dude be drinking out of his half cut water bottle?
2:31 how is he losing that fight
7:36 Turkish??? WTF LOL why would they speak turkish bro i thought they arab i mean afghan
That generator was Fukcing loud
Funniest shit I’ve ever seen.
The black guys laughing at the end army or not spot on, now i know that white boy probably still woulda said it in real life but if you do stumble we gone mutely stare at you till you finish wha you said and walk away then we gone laugh hard ash so you can hear it while you walking away
Third season... Gaza Strip! Especially having a bear jew and not to mention the Israeli hotties in the IDF.
First
9:13, for a surface charge to make 6 ft hole in concrete, p was not plenty when he did his calculations in his handy dandy notebook
that was a bold faced lie to an NCO.
Bruh, for my next Mobilization/Deployment, Imma make friends with Marines because I know for a fact they, not only know how to party, but if anyone hurts me, they finna demolish everyone who did such a thing to me. Love ya, devil dawgs.
Love,
An Army Soldier
Pretty satisfying watching Bishop turn that towel head into a quadrapaligic, that made me feel good, i know of a few people id love to do that to 🤣
