Yeah Gaynor there was no ejection seats in World War II, and Kamakazi pilots wouldn't have used them. The Japanese firmly believed if you didn't give your life in such a situation you were without honor. Any failure meant shame to them.
The Japanese were also brain washed by false propaganda, the Japanese were convincing their young soldiers that American troops were recruited from mental asylums and prisons and that they would do horrible things to Japan and it's people if America won and because of that it was a lot easier for them to convince their soldiers to kill themselves by way of Kamakazi.
I knew bits of the story, and of course, as soon as he showed the photo, I knew who it was and that he died in a big mission, and in fact, "Aphrodite" rang a bell, but I didn't know exactly how Joe had died. Yes, as someone said, although I don't believe in curses, Joe Sr's sins (and they were many - talk about a fascinating story!) were rained upon his children and grandchildren and so on. The family is (or has been - I don't know a lot about the current generation) convinced that they have a right or I suppose one could say an obligation to Old Joe to keep that legacy of fame and power going. They are uber-privileged and have a sense of entitlement (I'm painting in very broad strokes here) and seem to think they can behave however they want with impunity.
Wow what a story. I’ve read a lot about JFk and operation Aphrodite sounded familiar but I still didn’t see that coming. The Kennedy family has a lot of crazy stories attached to them.
Do you all realize that Joseph P. Kennedy, the father of "Joe" and John, was US Ambassador to the UK from 1937 to 1940, but in 1940 when Britain was already at war but the US wasn't, father Joe was brought home because he had become all too pessimistic about Britain's chances and a little too cozy with Hitler for President Roosevelt's tastes, and after that they became somewhat hostile towards each other.
Ha you can recognize the guy is a Kennedy straight away, and it’s reasonably well known the JFK’s older brother Joe died in WWII, and it’s too noticeable that Mr Ballen carefully withholds the last name.
Actually knew some of this story with Joe. That he was the darling of his father. Then Jack was put in the lime light with what he did with his PT boat. And getting his crew back to safety.
Joeseph Kennedy, a man who perished because of a failure of leadership and a mishap of engineering. I wonder if the MOD took responsibility for the deaths of the two men.
The horrible luck of the Kennedys. Joe died in an unnecessary mission bc of faulty wiring, John was assassinated as president, Bobby was assassinated while running for president, JR was killed in a freak plane accident. Just nuts. If I was RFK right now I’d be paranoid AF.
@@kimson305 Hmm, doesn't seem like your brain cells are all there. It's random because at one point they were reacting to Mr. Ballen for a while and then just stopped. Get your head out of the sand.
Yes, such boring videos that his brand has gone viral over the last few years. But that must seem paltry in the face of your own immense success, eh? 🙂
@@Silvaria928 Millions of people also watch the Kardashians and Real Housewives too. Are you really trying to argue a basic principle based on "views"?? Lol

More Mr.Ballen please! Love his story telling
The Kennedy family was cursed with one tragic death after another.
Coincidence? Or did the family have powerful enemies? 🤔
hey hey CIA how many people did you checkout today?
The juice did it
He knew what the pilot was thinking because of interviews, diaries, and multiple debriefings.

Not just shame but on return home their entire family would act like they didn't even exist
That’s crazy I’m an American that didn’t know that. We learned about JFK in school 90s but not his brother.
I definitely want that Mr. Ballen book. That’s awesome!
The wreckage landed near the village of Blythburgh in Suffolk, England

This is the king of run-on sentences
Now do Prescott Bush
I have heard this story before, RIP Kennedy's.

Actually he looks to me a lot more like Robert Kennedy and Robert Jr than like John.
Kamikaze pilots used to yell before crashing "hissatsu" which means certain kill thats crazyy

Can't go wrong with a mr ballen reaction
My father grew up in Massachusetts knowing the Kennedys. I remember him saying Joe, Jr. was the only one of the Kennedy boys "worth his salt!".
The kennedy Family.
John has his father's eyes while Joe had his mother's Fitzgerald eyes.
I’ve heard this before and Joe’s death affected his Dad and Mom the rest of their days!
I would love if you do me ballet at least once a week ❤❤❤
Ballen
It's True

I immediately recognized Joe Kennedy
Never heard about this brother. They had a huge family. That's sad. Joe was probably a better prospect!
His nephew RFK JR is running for President as an independent Canidate for 2024.
And is an idiot!
Joe Kennedy
What a random reaction. Do you just randomly choose to react to Mr. BalleN?
They randomly react to everything are you slow? When do they announce what their reacting to🤔

Oh God no Mr Ballen... Worst most boring vids of all time.. Also always loaded with inaccuracies
Not sure where your getting it's "inaccurate" as all of his stories you can literally research yourself lol
