I forget the point I'm heading towards in a story sometimes too. And I'm 30 years younger than this man. I'm fine with waiting 'til he gets it back. His stories are better than mine.
What a wonderful life. This man lead with pride and honor. Thank you for you Service Sir!
🙏❤️❤️👍 thank you for your service and GOD BLESS you.
Ha I'm in Boise Idaho ! My papa also served in the Korean and Vietnam war .. thank you for this !
Also from Boise as well. Always awesome hearing stories and seeing videos with people from the area.
Amazing and a great sense of humor
My stepfather was also a 3 war veteran. 6 of those years in war zones (1 year in the Philippines in WWII, 2 fighting in Korea, 3 tours in Nam). Like Bg Gen Bartlett, 36 years of active service. Retired a Colonel (Army) because when when they offered him a star if he did a 4th tour he walked away.
My blood father was also career Army (2 war veteran, Korea, 2 tours in Nam). Like Gen Bartlett, he was mostly logistics, never got a combat command, unlike my stepfather who had stories that would curl your hair. One night, I said something stupid about "desk jockeys" that never actually fought (referring to my blood father). My stepfather all but backhanded me off my chair.
"Who the hell do you think fed us, armed us, got us in and out of where we had to be, from arranging for the helicoptors that saved my ass being shipped in down to furnishing a damn shower and clean underwear!!! We couldn't have fought ANY of those wars without your dad (and people like Gen Bartlett)"
Today I have nothing but the utmost respect for BG Bartlett (and BOTH my fathers) for everything they did.
👍❤️🙏
Thank you Sir! Excellent re-telling of history. Great American doing great things.
Very much enjoyed the Generals talk !!!
In 1966 I landed in Chu Lai when it was a Marine airfield . The runway was marson matting and rolled up in front of our Skyraider ( EA1F NAVY VAW-13 ) The very next time we landed at Chu Lai it was a 10,000 ft concrete runway LOL
Brilliant series, thank you for the initiative taken to interview these men. Fascinating stuff.
Thank you sir, from a fellow Idahoian! Semper Fi
From thru the ranks of Private to Brig General, What a great story of service to our Country & the people of the United States & the World. Thank You to General Bartlett & his family.
I’m from nampa Idaho to. Thank you for your service sir
Thank You. Its like listening to a grandfather talk to his teenaged grandchildren. Great stuff. ... & not afraid to be in front of a camera even when things are getting harder to remember.
I worked with a gentleman who was a chemist at American Builtright (sp). He was a bird colonel Marine pilot in the South Pacific and has since passed on. To the remembrance of Col Kenny Dobbins.
I want to have a beer with this man....I would be laughing too much to drink the beer though!
This guy looks quite young I’m not kidding. I’d believe he was a Vietnam vet, but wow. Some folks have good genes. Lol
The Auctrix I thought the same thing. There’s a few guys on this channel that look young for their age.
dude didn't u read the descr .... WWII vet
@@RubyBandUSA I was saying he looked quite young for it. Wasn’t saying he wasn’t.
Whoever disliked this, feel free to continue sucking down that sweet free air your breathing but remember men like this one are the reason your sucking down free air at all. Sad, some people just dont get it though , Much of the problems we have today are these same 27 assholes who disliked this causing the problem. Much love and respect to all men and women who served and serve currently.
I'm English so trust me, I know what my ancestors went through in WW2. I can't speak to why they disliked it but Vietnam... free air? Korea I can kinda understand a bit more but never even ended in a peace treaty, let me ask you something. Why do you honestly care if they disliked it? The real truth of WW2? Like every war, poor young men (and now women) being sent to kill because of fanatics, on all sides...
Missy listened to the whole story to the end. Amazing journey and still alive to tell it himself. :)
"...and most of it was true...." Put a smile on my face. Semper Fi, George.
@Robert Bonneau Okay Robert Cop time to go to bed now.
@Robert Bonneau lol nobody took your bait, how sad
Enjoyed every minute! Love our veterans! God bless America!
Hey my name is Kenneth W. Bartlett and I am a Vietnam vet and retired US Army Inf Captain with twenty years, maybe we are related, although I seriously doubt it. :-) .
Regarding the WW2 service, that is some impressive story there, I haven't heard many interviews with PBJ vets. The Palawan raid: Awesome for the ship's crew to have a reuniion with the people they rescued. Go Navy!
Tough job in Australia :)
Tough job anywhere where land meets ocean
Thank you for helping these men tell thair stories so important to here stories and history God Bless them for their service
Thank you !!!
I spend hours listening to these stories. It is fascinating trying to understand better those that did what that did because their country asked it of them.
Thank you for your real service as an enlisted man!
Wow, what a great guy. I would have loved to have worked under this man. My kind of boss. it's amazing how far he went doing 3 wars. The runway portable mat system I think is still used today.
I totally respect him. Also interesting is did not talk about his combat at first and had to be prodide a bit.
I can't imagine walking around in Tokyo right after the war. These heros stories are very important every one should listen. The government should take care of these men and women and their families for the rest of their lives for what they've done and what they've been through
Great story telling, awesome story, sense of humour.
Thank you.
Thank you sir!
i like the way the sound level gradually trails off until i can't hear it
I thought it was just me... Then realized my sound is at max lol
No chit... me too... lol

You know that everyone isn't American? They have the freedom form their opinion, just like you do yours. You got to take the good with the bad, even if you disagree with it. That's freedom.
Being a dipshit knows no borders. This whole thing is global right? Those dislikes could have come from anywhere and there are dipshits everywhere!
Ignorant Evan
Probably dakwanda from her section 8 welfare state paid house with her 5 fatherless kids and grandchildren from her whore daughters
Love this idaho brother.
"Most of it was true" ?! Great closing punch line! I'll bet he could do another 45 minutes on dangerous and funny incidents and people he experienced.
Salutations from Australia 🇦🇺
I served as a scout / sniper my second two deployments
Flew off the runway at Twentynine Palms quite a few times------off his Marston Mat. It worked but was a bit bumpy.
One of my Great Uncles went in to the Army in 1941 as a Private and was Commissioned by General MacArthur in Australia and spent the next 4 years in Mongolia telling the Army Air Corps what the weather was going to be over Japan and had to be briefed by General MacArthur on the first Atom bomb he ended up staying in untill 1975 as a Lt. Col. and I joined the Air Force in 1978 at the tender age of 17 and was a Security Police Sargent doing Nuclear Weapons Security in Strategic Air Command in Missile Security , then Germany in USAFE F-4Gs then B-52G's in Texas at Abeline !
What year was he commissioned and what rank did he get to before he was commissioned?
The war Marine, I salute you. Semper Fi
Very interesting Gentleman
A fellow Oregonian 💜
Great interview. This guy is funny as hell with his dry wit.
I see your point - mega-deadpan.. the old breed..
I laughed at the end when he said "most of it was true" .
Private to Brigadier General, I'd say he had an interesting life.
@@pointingdog7235 Yes, he is a living example of the Greatest Generation. My happy mid-Boomer life (60's, 70's rock'n'roll) was protected and sponsored by men and women like Gen. Bartlett. They provided and kept up the shields that Ukraine did not have.
Interesting guy not your typical hard nosed marine we always hear about
Quite a guy!
The Aussies and the first European Americans were Brits. Moreover, Aus was in WW2 British. 1,000,000 Aussies were not sent to Britain. We are brothers to this day.
They were in the British army?
Can u open bye thanking them for there service with respect and also for there sacrifice...I feel like they would open up more too you and the interview could only get better OK these guys look at you like a kid who will never understand whose asking personal questions. In the intro they give there name OK 👍 and that's when you say first of all I'd like too thank you for your service and sacrifice 🙏 it means alot too me . Then move into questions.
Maybe that's what happened in Vietnam.....too many MA$TER'$ DEGREE'$ ?.....Thank You Soldier.
@Eli Pen lol...
What gets me is other countries persist on 'trying' this one; they never learn that people like this are the fabric of this nation. Most of their thinking is based on jealousy in some form shape or fashion.
he saw and walked around and underneath were a atomic bomb exploded .how many people can say they've done that .
Bad audio
The children born when he started his military career, were too old join join when he retired….
Ok woman loveyou mamtadevi army 54 tuoi armankhan johnson thiem vn loveyou ok you thanhk ame thanhk amen
Surprising how much military brass has such little education. Does this explain why Afghanistan looks like Vietnam?
It’s because they’re brass bureaucrats!
And they don’t give a damn about putting on a dog-and-puppy show about liberating the damn world and helping countries “liberate” and rebuild!
This guy is hilarious and the interviewer is giving him nothing!
What 4 d bags gave thumbs down?
10 now.
People like me who don't like zionazi propaganda and warcriminals.
