I'm a 27 year Law Enforcement and 16 year Military veteran and anyone who trains up for whats coming should be applauded and not mocked.
27yr law, quit your law dogging or quit lying. Law is the opposite of freedom there joker...
You should probably tell you law enforcement buddies to either honor their oath or be treated like domestic enemies.
"Trained up for whats coming" totally agreed with you my friend!
Absolutely 👊🏻🇺🇸
@@paultoth7853brother have a lot in common. I'm a Vietnam veteran and a retired k-9 officer . I firmly believe what I was told by my firing range instructor. He told me to train hard and train often.🐕🦺🇺🇲
I was at a local range one day struggling to zero my AR10. A man I’ve never met walked up to me and asked if he could look at my weapon. He then looked at my ammo. He said, I’ve been watching you, and I think I can help. Turns out he was a military sniper. His words of encouragement and advice was so awesome. He didn’t have to help me, but he did. I will always appreciate his kindness, and help.
These are the vets you respect. Not all deserve our respect
>military Sniper
So he was actually just full of shit?
Insults are the losers tool, those people insulting others who train to protect their children are afraid of the possible power they now have. Also an actual vet protects women and children before anything else, from any country.
FOR WHATS COMING,WE MUST ALL PULL IN ONE DIRECTION,THOSE WHO TOOK THE OATH,KNOWS THE PATH,ITS FRAUGHT WITH MANY DISGUSTING THINGS,BUT THEY KNOW THE PATH,GOD HONORS THOSE WHO KNOW DUTY AND HONOR HIM,AND WORSHIP HIM,THIS IS A CHRISTIAN NATION,WE HATE WAR AND CONFLICT,BUT WE ARE NOT SCARED OR BACK DOWN,NOT THIS COUNTRY,THAT'S WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO BE HERE,BUT SOME ARE INFILTRATORS,SOME OF THE DISGUSTING THINGS I SPOKE OF,GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN
I can’t stand when a veteran does that I love training with my buddies and their not veterans but we have fun at the range we’re not better than anyone else.
Army Infantry vet here, being a vet just means we know things that civilians should also know.
💥
I hear ya. Used to be that everyone should have known how to shoot... for example longbow days in UK...... was law that every able bodied man has to be proficient in archery, 15-60yrs old, and have their own bows, arrows, etc. and practice for a minimum amount of hours per week, at least after church on Sundays, For militia and service. Of course that went up to when guns were introduced and after..... now we have so many idiots promoting the disarmament of the populace, they don't hunt, they don't shoot, they get everything from the store, and depend on other agencies for protection that comes too late. Everyone shoot be able to shoot something. I don't have guns, was always too expensive for me, but have a few bows, and you can make your own ammo for that.... and told and taught the kids that everyone should at LEAST know how to shoot a bow, and learn a gun when you can. I have shot guns before.... not bad at em, learned on old pellet gun as a kid... and shot rifles as well with ex military buddy, handguns too..... perhaps I am foolish in figuring that if absolute worst.... a well placed arrow will get me that straggler's firearm.... I know, is a rather innocent idea.... but.... use what ya got, whether sling slingshot, bow, atlatls.... whatever you got. Nonody oughtta preach that dumb idea that people training are doing some kinda appropriation of military identity or some such ...
Facts dude. 11b here and I'll happily train civis.
10 yrs in as an 11B, 4 deployments - I am ALWAYS trying to get civilians to train and shoot with me and will take time out of my day to answer questions about gear and tactics.
Thank you
All Americans are THE MILITIA. Some of us are Veterans (myself being one), and some are not. We are all on the same team. And we all need to train.
That said, I am well past tired of the whole Vet and Vet Bro crap. Those of us who served know that MOST people in the military are not "operators" in fact there are TONS of soup sandwiches. This crap needs to stop.
Absolutely right. It’s these idiots that are dressing up with medals or like they were in the military and actually say they were there or were in a war are the dipshits that are the stolen valor but regular people that want to train and prepare for what just may be right around the corner is actually one of the best things that can be done especially being trained by a vet and thank you for your service by the way. It is you guys that will make a difference in this country when the shtf!!
I learned that in the 80's from being in the biker life, now at 65 I ride alone.
"All Americans are THE MILITIA"
I see. So that means you acknowledge the governor of your state as the Commander in Chief of the militia, even if you didn't vote for him? And Joe Biden as the commander in chief of the militia when called to federal service?
"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States"
--Constitution, Article II, Section 2.
For example, the Governor of Michigan, who is a Democrat, is the commander in chief of the militia of the state of Michigan. You acknowledge this?
"
AN ACT to provide for the militia of this state and its organization, command, personnel, administration,
training, supply, discipline, deployment, employment, and retirement; and to repeal acts and parts of acts
[...]
32.505 Definitions.
Sec. 105. The definitions used in the command, administration, supply, training, discipline, deployment,
and employment of the armed forces of the United States, unless clearly inapplicable or contradictory, are
adopted with respect to the state military establishment except as otherwise provided in this act. As used in
this act:
(a) "Military" means a reference to all components of the state military establishment.
(b) "Michigan national guard" means the army national guard and the air national guard.
(c) "Commander-in-chief" means the governor of this state."
--Michigan Military Act of 1967
I am a 20 year retired combat vet E-7 and I don't give a shit because when I see people wearing stuff and training good on them every person should train and be proud.
I'll never forget being a newbie, at my first unit.2/505 PIR. 82 ABN. They sent me on my first mission to the platoon sergents Cp to get a Prc E-7. Ah, The GoodOld Days!!!
That just had me lmao guess things never change too much.@@reddog1171
@@reddog1171 Or when they tried to send me to supply for a metric crescent wrench and a spool of flight line and a bucket of prop wash and jet wash LOL My dad was military so I already knew about those LOL
I’m a former Marine Infantry Officer. I’m NOT offended by “civilians” trying to protect themselves. Go for it. Train and train more. We will all be fighting together soon enough. God bless you.
Brother you are a Marine forever. Never a former Marine. Semper FI.
What is wrong with some of these idiots we are all Americans, we got some dumb asses out there
I'm against anyone trying to impersonate someone In the military.
@@jbizzle1966 What would you consider impersonating?
@@jbizzle1966 bro wearing military surplus clothes, gear and training isn't impersonating. These surplus places buy that stuff out right to sell to the public. Heck some guys end up with their gear and pawn it off or sell it when they get home. Now if they're talking the smack and wearing the insignia that's another story.
Love seeing comments of vets saying civilians need to train. Thank you
Funny thing is a lot of these vets never went special forces etc and got “real training” ..
A Vietnam veteran coached me to bowling my first perfect game and he coached me to almost getting a perfect score on my CCW test.
We need more Veterans to not just teach us about firearms, but to teach us about life too, through stories of their life experiences in general. We've all taken different paths in life, but in my experience, some of the best teachers and coaches I've had were Vets, Reservists and Active Duty alike.
I'm a vet, and I'm glad we have citizens that are not vets getting kitted out and training, getting dangerous. I love it.
There are some good and some bad. The military types are hot heads and raised on good discipline. This marine told me that he plans to rob preppers when shtf.
I have some brother that never served like I did but they go hard in the paint. Hunting and outdoorsman that love guns. I take them in battle over a confused troop
Have your shit. Understand how to operate it effectively. "Training" is absolute cringe. It really shows how entrenched your mind is into "the system". when the time comes, i guarantee the vast majority of people who "train" will be fighting on the wrong side of history. Spiritual and Moral fitness is what we should spend our time focusing on. Building relationships of trust, and eliminating relationships of dishonesty. We all have good and bad in our lives. Its time to take stock of that, eliminate the bad, uplift the good. The fight will be the easy part. Its every day after that, that will be hard.
I fully agree. We are in a spiritual battle for the souls of man in these last days before Christ's second coming. We have to be prepared pyschically, mentally, emotionally, and most important, spiritually.
@@DieselRamcharger
@@DieselRamcharger Excellent comment. GOD Bless.
You know what offends me? My freedoms being pissed away just like my state’s border, my country, my tax dollars, my economy… all being destroyed by a power hungry tyrannical government.
Indeed tyrannical government. You can thank them for destabilizing countries around the world for their benefit (implanting leaders taking resources). Why do you think there are so many migrants from around the world to US. Now the US is wanting to take Mexico’s large lithium deposits, so they label the Cartels “terr0rists” for a reason to invade. Americans are being stripped of rights all for the gov to control us and corporations to make record profits.
‼️‼️
Amen brother !!!
TRUTH!!
Yes!
As a combat vet 11b 2008 oif. There's nothing that irritates me more than other vets that think they're John wick and can judge others especially our fellow countrymen an women we swore to protect. I WISH every civilian trained then I'd feel safe when I go camping knowing "it's cool my neighbors have my back" it took me 5 years to CULTIVATE the simplest of safety systems with my neighbors only sped up because a fellow vet moved in next door lol. The rule I go by is, "heres what I know. Let me share with you," NOT "I know and you don't" now I have neighbors that talk on group texts to let us all know if something fishy is going down or if a recognized thief is around most my neighbors aren't even armed, they're dialers but the point is that they work with me an my neighbor on a system to keep us all safe but only possible because the two qualified guys on the block shared what we know about safety security an preparedness and we're working on helping our neighbors (who are inclined) to pick out a good firearm that best suits them an helping them train. I got another neighbor that goes camping with me an the jarhead so we can teach him to run drills in his house like how to clear rooms properly and safely how to breach a door (just 2 examples) wich has inspired other neighbors to get they're first pew pew (stupid algorithm rejects my comment if I use the G word but firearm is apparently fine) and buy cameras and I sleep good now lol. All because I didn't hoard vital information like some weird gollum sorry I'm ranting but it's something that needs to be said and I'm glad this guy agrees. Basically if you're a great survivalist, don't you think you'll be better off with 15 more people like minded or do you really think you're John wick? If the latter I pity you because nobody is.
"It is better to have a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war."
Im a vet, i train, i tell all my non vet friends to train as well. You never know what may happen and need help
Totally agree. Many of my friends are ex military. Marines to SEALS in Nam. I am trained some but never enough. Thank you for your service!
it's already happening
Thank you for your service. If the day May ever come I’ll stand with my veterans at home or abroad!
Veterans should be training any law abiding citizen who wants training. The more proficient trigger pullers we have, the better! Veterans and civilians are the militia!
Most vets were not trigger pullers anyway. Joke used to be, "Dad did you kill anybody in the war?" Response, "I was a cook, so yeah probably."

I'm part American indian and stoked when anyone honors our blood! All the gear you mention, I have to protect my family when this shit hits.
I couldn't go to the military because I was fighting cancer from 23 until 30. However, as soon as I could get back, I went back to close combat training, mma, jiu jitsu, muay thai, wrestling.
I refused to be a victim when it's time to protect my family.
We're Americans, it's time to come together.

Had a dude, retired 82nd Abn, call me out at a gun show this weekend for the USN cap and small medals for expert pistol & rifle.
"What were you shooting?"
Sir, we were using 1911s and M-14s. And I went to every school the USN has to qualify for inter-service competitive shooting.
"That's all bullshiit! The entire US military went to 556 & 9mm...."
Not before I left the Navy in 1991 they didn't. Every ship in the Atlantic Fleet was still using ancient 1911s and M-14s
"Fukk I! Get away from my table"
You got it, Fool.
I was issued an M14 in 2008, in Iraq...
Before I got out in '94, my ship was still using 1911 and M-14s.
The Navy was still using M14s in the early 2000s.
I'll bet whatever "82ns AB" insignia he was sporting was stolen valor and or, he NEVER made it through ABN school or basic. Now he sits at Gun-show tables and projects on older vets of other branches, that he knows nothing about. Remember: those that provoke and attack with specific facts and intensity, most likely are doing so to throw off the their target from the truth, which is the lie they are hiding... i.e. He was NOT 82nd. Oh I bet he could tell you everything there is about the 82nd, 9mm's and the .556, but he forgot to study the surrounding history of other branches of service, their forced budget hand me downs or equally commendable service records and invaluable contributions. These blowhards are the loudest and choose their targets with precision. I bet if he was confronted with an 82nd ABN vet, he would take off whatever insignia he was displaying, or even leave the table until the coast was clear. Oh, but when an older USN sailor walks up, it's game on! What a douche bag! I run into guys like this all the time at guns stores or at the range. Utter imposters. PS: I love my 911 and M1A.
This is spot on, USN veteran, my rifle was the M-14 and the 1911, from 1989-97.
As a vet myself, i could care less what you wear or how you train, im just happy to see people training and having a good time.
I’m a Marine veteran. I believe the more American people who can buy and own their weapons legally should. The more civilians that are trained the better for our country.

‘An armed society is a polite society.’
"Legally"? So what would cause a person to lose the "legal" right to defend his or her own life? Because the govt said so? The same govt you intend to fight for being corrupt criminals and tyrants? Youve licked so many boots, your every thought has been poisoned by the govt shoe polish.

I’m a native and personally that image behind does not offend me - actually makes me more proud to be American !!!!
Word Brother!!
Yeah we’re all natives tard……
Kudos for speaking up. I have a number of native American friends and they all say the same thing. "That's NOT offensive, it represents the strength and honor of all tribes." Coincidental and funny backstory- my grandmother designed the Chicago Blackhawks logo when doing embroidery for team jerseys. And yes, I'm proud of that connection and what it represents.
As a full blooded Irish decent from Irish emigrants I apologize for us not realizing sooner how f'n cool the Native actually are and for listening to the Brit/Eng that told us to watch out for the "Savages". ☝️❤️ Brother!
Because that image shows respect and admiration for your culture. :)
I'm a vet, a rusty vet. I'm at the range playing with a new .380 and have a feed issue on 2nd round. Couldn't rack the slide and mag didn't want to eject. I notice the young range instructor watching with a slight smile on his mug. I was determined NOT to ask him for help and finally got the mag to drop and wiggled the stuck round loose...then it hit me where I screwed up. I forgot to love tap the mag before lock n load and if I had been holding an m16 it would have been auto pilot but with that little pew pew it didn't even enter my mind. So I go to turn in the rented hearing protection and I find out that young fella was an Army Ranger newly home from Afghanistan. He gave me another 30min back on the lane so I could clean the cobwebs out.
Point is if folks want to kit up in a flak jacket or this level 4 stuff and run around on an outdoor range acting like John Wick, who gives a shit!! They like wearin a boonie hat or kevlar, fine!! We all know who the pretenders are and if the SHTF they will be weeded out quick, fast and in a hurry. Me, i'm to old to play Mr. Wick so I will just wait for the commies to come to me n my Stones headband, F-YOU tee shirt and my scatter gun...oh and my little baby pew pew.................Holy crap I yak a lot!! sorry...😁
I’m a 21 year Naval Vet… God bless every person that gears up and trains… it’s an American spirit not something limited to Veterans only… all Vets should support all Americans in their endeavor to support and defend our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Facts
You spent 21 years killing people youve never seen or met, because you had orders to do so. You arent on our side.
Gulf War vet here. I train with people who have never served. The dude clutching his NDSM and running down civilians had better take notice. Those civs are the ONLY battle buddies you’re going to have if shit goes sideways. And remember kids, if you aren’t in the military you ARE a civilian. I don’t care if you’ve deployed 14 times.
Exactly. At some point in the praising of veterans, it's turned into some sort of perceived adulation of their parts. Their service ended and they're sitting ducks just like the rest of us. Heck, who even knows what jobs they held during their time in the military. Very few are combat trained. Most are support staff. I suspect those are the ones who are whining.
Truth
Not exactly true - technically, a 'civilian' is a person not a member of an armed force AND not a person engaged in hostilities.
@@fleatactical7390 This is true. I got very lucky that I got a LOT of combat training and got to be a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.
@@ZekeRivers Even more technically, a non combatant is a person that is not military and not engaged in hostilities, or is a member of one of the protected occupations as described in the Geneva Convention (Red Cross/Doctor/medic and/or civilian not engaged in combat/hostilities)
For all the military vets here in the comments TY for all you have done and willingness to stand up for our great country and its civilians one love to you all!
Thanks for speaking up! Former LEO here. Normalize training with gear.
I think it's pretty disgusting that some of our vet's would attack fellow Americans because they're training or wearing camo.
Sadly, the world has never suffered from a lack of Fools.

As a veteran (Former mustang O4) I couldnt give a sh*t less of what anyone wears. The ones that cares are those blue falcon a-holes nobody liked and reminded the E9's to inspect haircuts and shaves.
*EVERY able-bodied American in this country is 100% responsible to protect and defend this country military or not.*
You’re one of the good ones, my dude. As long as it’s not Stolen Valor, who cares? If I’m wearing a Grunt Style hoodie and some m80 camo pants why would you care, *unless* I claimed to serve when I obviously didn’t? Are we Nerds going to scream that guys like you aren’t allowed to wear Warhammer 40,000 t-shirts or a shirt with a video game character on it when you don’t play Warhammer 40K and haven’t touched a video game controller since 1993? C’mon now. It’s just silly.
Spot on.
E-9's have their sense of humor surgically removed at the Academy and a pet peeve in inserted in it's place. It can the uniform violations, ground guide, drip cans, dirty rear sight, head gear in a chow hall in Iraq...you name it, they have it and after enough time in the Army you see it all.
AMEN!!! 👍🏻🇺🇲🗽✝️🛐🕊️
You're right!! 04 mustang here also (my favorite ranks were L/Cpl, Sgt, CWO3 and Capt I hated being a Major ha!!). I WANT AMERICANS TO BE READY. They should be ready. All of them particularly those who still support and defend the constitution and are will to protect our nation.
I’m a grandma…never served, thought about it tho-even took a test at the recruitment office. I just got approved for my ccw. It took forever-we started the process before thanksgiving…still waiting for my husband to get his approval before I go to the sheriff, pay final fee and can pack my heat…. Because I’ve been in healthcare for over 30 years, my prints are worn from washing and sanitizer-I had to fingerprint twice. While I was waiting to redo my prints-I heard a conversation between 2 officers. The uniformed guy asked his street clothed buddy why he was there on his day off. Street replies that the ccw requests have skyrocketed in California over the new year-over double in my county. It made me smile…we are prepared and awake in my NorCal county.
🤗❤️🇺🇸
I'm sorry you're in CA, but congrats on getting your permit from the government even though you shouldn't need a permit. Good luck!
TY for saying this- however I have a different experience. Being the son of a USMC instructor I had my neck broken when hit by a distracted driver before I could serve. While I'm grateful every day to not be paralyzed, nobody wants a guy w/28 pieces of metal and 5 cadaver bones rebuilding his neck and back. After having 3 friends killed in home invasions(all by knives) and thwarting an attempt by 8-10 punks on my own home (police suggested they were armed but not caught); I became an NRA & USCCA Instructor to teach Home Defense and CCW. I've trained with some great Vets of all branches and skillsets, and I've never been given grief by any vet. In fact just the opposite, I've had many thank me for MY service to helping keep people safe. It's unfortunate, but I know this to be true as I've had students use force to defend themselves- we don't want that to happen but we want them ready.
Retired scout 22 years army. I love civilians training and getting right. All I’ve ever done was on the spot corrections to improve how they operate. Maybe because im in Texas but i dont see this reaction in real life.
Sound the Charge, Scout.
Vet here. Don’t have a problem with what you wear or how you prepare! Just don’t tell people you served if you did not.
I know a guy that done that and it didn't work out well for the idiot. Now he walks with a black cloud over him
Non vet here & I agree with you 100%.
As a civy I agree.
I don't want to give someone the respect they don't deserve.
If you didn't serve, please don't steal others Valor!
That's lower than dirt.
I'm with ya on that but to the fakes who wear full dress with combat ribbons or medals need to get bent... they did'nt earn that shit..! gear/guns/combat clothing that shii is w/e.
Cry about it
Thanks Jack. It's every citizens duty to be prepared.
It's also the responsibility of special forces to train indigenous personnel.
That is exactly right. The Special Forces Association used to flat-out say that if there was ever a fight against tyranny, they would train and lead the people against it. The problem is that Obama and Biden have infiltrated the Special Operations community too. In the last ten years, I have met two leftist navy seals. Talking to those guys blew my mind. I am very concerned about that situation.
Army 3rd SF was my little vacation and your correct. History shows this to the present citizens first in Nam were supporting and training their population to defend themselves.....from the North. LOL hoping we don't have to defend ourselves from our North.....ooops.
This is actually the first I've seen that some vets are upset civilians train or have certain gear. However, I have seen many instances where vets just get the stolen valor thing all wrong. It's only stolen valor if someone is willingly and knowingly impersonating active/retired military to gain an advantage they wouldn't have as a civilian. Like a discount, a better interest rate on a loan, notoriety, whatever. It comes down to straight up lying. There is no stolen valor with honesty.
This has been a problem in the Vet community for a long time. Vet tough guys who think they are supposed to sort out all the "real vets" in the world by accusing civilians who wear camo or a military t-shirt of stolen valor. I always wore camo before I joined the Army... and my dad's old Army fatigues and jackets. After I joined, I let my sons wear my stuff. I served on active duty and went to elite schools but some of my best experiences in uniform were with the citizen soldiers of my state's SDF force, many of whom never served a day of active duty but took the training seriously and bought their own gear to train with. I applaud civilian militias, survivalists, and paintballers for their military skills, look and bearing. Stolen valor is when a civilian or veteran pretends to be something they are not. But being a militant, prepared citizen is every man's duty. Thanks for posting this. #RLTW #maranatha
My adult son, who with his issues would never make it in the service, and I wouldn’t want him to try, loves to wear my old field jacket. It went through the service with me, with getting stripes ripped off and new ones sewn on over the years. My daughter lost the liner, so it wasn’t as warm as it used to be. The only uniform I have now is my USAF dress blues, for my funeral. Keeping it in good shape.
5 year USMC vet, there are more civilians i would trust by my side than active duty. If someone doesn't like you training it's probably because you're doing better than they could.
agreed was thinking the same thing, a lot of military guys I served with can't shoot for shit sucked at running sucked at training and never learned the skills they were taught. ive seen police as well talk crap and most police department's in America only require to qualify once a year its disgusting how many police fail basic pistol skills and they are carrying to protect citizens.
I’m a professional firefighter with over 25 years of protecting and serving. We’re all in this together to protect our homes,communities, and country. We all need to be training and practicing for the worst.
HOOAAH!!
I agree, I am actually looking for a military training camp just to experience and have the fitness aspect.
My closest friends are combat vets. They encourage me to train with them, as well as take classes from certified instructors to make sure that I'm prepared to defend myself and my family. And first and foremost, to make sure I'm handling my weapons safely.
Thanks for saying this. WE are the militia. The founding fathers always intended for the populace to be armed defenders of liberty. The Constitution provides for the formation of a navy. It doesn't provide for an army because they expected every citizen to want to defend their country from all threats, foreign AND domestic. I am the militia. I never served, but I respect veterans. I will wear what I please, carry what I please, and train how I please. Period. Nobody's feelings and no laws will stop me. The Bill of Rights was clear as crystal. "The right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED."
Navy Vet here. I agree with your statement 100%. I see so many "Vet Bros" talking shit about civilians. Uhhh did they forget we were all civilians once AND civilians are WHO WE ARE CHARGED WITH PROTECTING! Veterans, knock it off. Lead by example, and if you know so much, TEACH.
I appreciate those guys let's me know thay they'd follow orders blindly and should be treated as hostile
Agree...and I would like to add that Vet is a civilian too. A trained civilian but nontheless a civilian. But not everyone can handle the transition back to being just a normal guy doing a 9-5 job so they still need to differenciate themselfs somehow.
I will disagree in the sense of the experiences of a veteran are what make him/her a veteran, not the uniform...civilians will never have those experiences save a DRASTIC turn of events and not for the better. Example being extreme violence such as Central America has suffered due to the cartels. @@wickedtwix
@@airgunbubba2505 yea, you are right. I think the issue is that while in uniform people expect you to have these abilities and treat you as such. When being a vet and civilian, people treat you as one and you will not automatically receive the same respect or awe....someone who thrived on that will always have to actively point out their abilities.
goes deeper than that, when in uniform there is RESPECT. then you come back to civilian life to be completely disrespected. Civilians fail to understand the military lifestyle is all about respect up and down the chain of command...Military bases were clean, free of litter. Why? respect and discipline. Why are US cities utterly destroyed? lack of respect and discipline. Same goes for comparing US Civs to Japanese Civs...why japan have almost no crime and you can walk the streets at night in peace? Honor based society. Americans act like spoiled children. @@wickedtwix
I'm a 2 time Veteran and come from proud military family.
I have no problem with civilian's training and wearing military clothing.
I and my family served our country so ALL American citizens have the freedom to do this.
It's when they're lying about being in the military and wearing medals that they never earned ,is where I see stolen valor.
What sets me off is people who attacked our Constitution, Liberty and Freedom.
If a person wants to buy guns and train , they have the freedom to do that, if they want to wear camouflage clothing they have the freedom to do that.
Besides, our country is on the brink of civil war and every citizen has a right to train and protect themselves from anyone who means to do them harm .
I have stepped up twice to defend our freedom and liberty and Constitution for my country.
And I will step up again when needed.
My oath has no expiration date...
My opinion exactly.
You told the truth about a lot of vets. Im so embarrassed by those "types".
bro, you are exactly right. i’m a vet and want to Thank you for your video and speaking up for non-vets. That is the stupidest thing about shaming men that want to train and better themselves. we need everyone. keep up the fight.
Combat Vet here. My thoughts are... to each his own. The freedom to wear what you want, speak your mind, be armed, etc are the very freedoms we fought for.
If you're a good man who is trying to do right by others, and the lord above, then I'm proud to consider you my brother!
Don’t forget us wives and de
Wet hearts who can protect our men’s backs if trained properly. We need to protect our children and our loved ones, too
Semper Fi, thank you for your service. Combat vets are the best people we have in this country. Seriously, thank you.
you killed people for wearing and thinking what they wanted. no civilian expects you to be on our side. believe that.
Check yourself bub @@DieselRamcharger
Well Said Jeff, thanks for your service. Nixon stopped the draft, just before I was to be drafted. I passed my physical and almost signed for 4 years but the Marine Recruiter started sounding like a used car salesman, at that I put down the pen and walked out and went back to work. I was a union Carpenter for many years and when mentoring young Apprentices or Journeymen it was so important to teach them every thing we could to make our team more efficient. Same goes for training fellow Americans to shoot and stay alive and keep others alive.
I am a six year army veteran. I often buy shirts from Grunt Style for both my husband and myself. One day at work some guy (apparently an army vet) asked my husband what unit he served in. He laughed and said he didnt. The veteran sneered at him and asked why he was wearing a Grunt Style shirt. Mind you, I only buy him the regular patriotic ones with American flags and 2A etc... He told the jerk "my wife served and she buys me all my cool shirts". The guy shut up and walked away. WTF? Since when are veterans the only people allowed to wear patriotic t shirts?
I think most guys that do that arw just pogs. I see turds online talking shit about ex spec ops guys that are online they have such an inferiority complex I don't know whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them. When did men stop being men. More men need to grow a pair. I miss the days when men were men.
Since everyone got soft and the only way they can feel good about themselves is to put an identity on it.
I have a few 2A shirts that have the right sleeve reversed flag. Someone said something to me one day about that being a 'military designation' so I looked it up. It's not strictly military although it seems to have originated there. It just means always forward, as in push to your goal. Some people are just too sensitive. At least one shirt company has stopped using the right sleeve flag. I suspect because they were getting similar flak from idiots but I can't find anything about why so just speculation on my part.
I wear the low profile grunt style t shirts. I like their shoulder logo and flag on the other side. I don't see service as a prerequisite to purchase.
Agree 💯
I'm veteran USAF-MED-Corps / USN-Med-Corpsman Polynesian-German-Blackfoot I've been a survivalist my entire life as is my Family !! When I meet people mostly civilians and they are Patriots they have my SAME respect as any other Brother!! Having Pride and preparing for an assault against our Nation doesn't require stripes or bars. That is DawgShit !!
Marine vet here. You just earned a new subscriber sir. Semper Fi!
I’ve always said you don’t have to be vet to be able to fight for your freedom and country.
I’m a 20 year LEO and recently talked to a guy, a civilian (no military, no LE experience) and he was nervous about buying guns and gear. He said he didn’t want to be called a “wanna be” or any other name you could think of. I told him what you said, not to worry about what other people say and do what he needs to, to be prepared whatever that looks like for him. I even told him he should have at least one pistol, one AR, a plate carrier and a chest rig.
He needs a good mentor and attitude that's pretty much it.
As a veteran, I took my enlistment oath dead serious. I keep a low profile in public (except for my Navy hat), always have situational awareness and live on the high ground. There’s no substitute for military experience. It stays in your DNA forever.
My older brother (RIP) was a Tier One operator in the US Navy. He was very very adamant about me being prepared and comfortable moving with and using a firearm. Since his passing, the guys he worked with (ones I still keep in touch with and speak to pretty regularly) only applaud the fact that I still train and keep up to date on things.
I’m not a vet but, I look at training and being prepared as something that’s a must for me to protect my family and country. Love this channel!
Keep it up and protect yourself and family. We need more Americans standing up and training.
You can know how to shoot without "training". The "training" crowd are just going to get suckered into fighting for the wrong side of history. Look at how the US military really operates. Very little fighting, lots of police action, training of local guerilla forces etc.
@@DieselRamcharger I’m only training to protect my family not to fight a war.
Personal story , sorry for the length. I was born paralyzed , born breach , 2 months early , and my back was broken during delivery. I'm 48 years old now , and have had numerous encounters with people, allot of vets , some not . But I'll go out shopping or out to eat , and some people will come up to me, thanking me for my service. And I refuse to just go along with it , and tell them I didn't serve. And alloy of people act like I'm stealing Valor or something. They shake my hand thanking me for my service and after I tell them my situation, they seem offended. Makes no sense. I'm not wearing fatigues or anything so wtf ? Anyway , I'm hooked up to an IV pump right now dealing with a bone infection in my hip. After I get cut loose from my line , I'm looking forward to taking a defensive rifle course and performing the best I can. I encourage you all to just be the best person you can be , both physically, and spiritually. Who knows , we might be fighting in a war together in the end. God bless the tribe !
Amen!
You sound like you're tougher than any of those pansies. God bless
As an Army veteran, I totally agree with you. I’m the first one to offer advice and training tips to my friends.
As a Marine vet, I believe civilians should train just as hard as we do/did. We are the militia, it is the duty of all of us to preserve the US Constitution and to defend our nation.
in Israel everybody trains including the "GIRLS"...
As a combat vet, I also agree 💯 percent Jack. Many of us are indeed ridiculous or snowflakey too.
I am a vet I train and am proud of anyone who want's to train. Were gear and train in it, stay strapped and be prepared for whatever comes your way.
Civilian here. I wanna say thank you to the community vets or civs that also feel this way. Its happened to me more than once where I was confronted by a "vet" and one time it was a group of guys. I have the upmost respect for the men and women that have served. It's one of my biggest regrets that I didnt serve. My family (all ex military) talked me out of it because I would've been going in immediately after 9/11. So thank you to all of you that feel the same way. God bless America!
As an Army Infantry Veteran and a Police Officer, I feel like we should be the front line in helping people train and learn to protect themselves and their families properly not only from typical criminal elements but other "Elements" that may come for them or their freedoms.
I really appreciate this message. I also think WE are at OUR best when we direct our criticisms INWARD. What can I do better… What can the community I am a part of do better and how can I move the needle on that issue. So I appreciate a vet criticizing VETS just as an example, instead of VET criticizing CIVILIANS and “protecting our own” and keeping quiet about what they see inside their own community. You could substitute any group in place of vets in this example too. I just think it makes us all better.
I'm an American Indian and am honored my these logos. You have an awesome name and emblem and I am a fan because you use them. Don't ever change it. I was a fan of the Washington Redskins until they dishonored our culture by removing it and replacing it with the Commanders. They're more like the Commies now if you ask me. FLOCK EM ALL.
This 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Same. Funny one rarely sees an American Indian offended by any of this. It's always some bleeding-heart karen.
As someone who has family in the Pocomoke tribe . Thank you for using the correct term . And you are 100% on point.
Ya gotta be woke now a days, if one person is offended then everyone should be, at least that’s what they are trying to force on us.
Amen.
If you're a vet, Thanks for your service and sacrifices.
I am a first generation Taiwanese American. US Military personnel are protecting Taiwan and training Taiwanese Military Personnel.
I am 54 years old. I have paid for and gotten training. It's a lot tougher than it looks. But I would be very supportive of anyone who seeks training. Your family, loved ones, life, or country may someday need it.
Don't have to be a vet to stand up for your country 60 years old I live and die here protecting it too. And I'm not of that
Glad you're here. Ideology is EVERYTHING in this life. To protect your family, and anyone else unable to protect themselves, is a noble task. Thank you for training to perform it.
As a former 68W (Medic), I'd like to emphasize not only that one should be prepared to fight but also should be prepared to save lives. Practice your TCCC!
Gotta remember that cooks, office RIMF’s, and chaplain aids are all veterans too. The amount of COMBAT ARMS in the services is steadily dwindling as a percentage of the overall force. Even folks that deploy to a combat zone don’t necessarily ever shoot a single round during their deployment(s). As a former 11B (and yes, I was formally trained as a sniper), I can’t imagine any combat arms vet ever complaining about a civilian training for what may lie ahead. If they do, just chalk it up to stupidity.
Yea, I'm a Vietnam vet and 28 yr Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor and I'm proud of any man who "will" get ready to get real.
Unfortunately there are a shit ton of those guys out there. My brother is one and he just recently retired from the army. He doesn't even think civilians should be allowed to own an AR-15. This is my own brother. I tried several times to get him to put to the range with me and he eventually said he had no interest whatsoever in shooting or training with me . Fortunately for the rest of us not all vets think that way. And I have received a hell of a lot of great training and info from good veterans who want their neighbors and countrymen to be as prepared as possible.
I'm sorry to say that people like your brother are why civilians need to train. I hope you can get to him.
@@zacharyrollick6169 I've been trying for years man. He's a lost cause. But he's also a perfect example of military brainwashing. My brother told me almost 20 years ago that he was waiting to see who his superior officers were voting for before he decided how he would vote. And now that our military has gone woke as fck the brainwashed minions are still following orders without question.
@@zacharyrollick6169 remember the west point commie? Spencer Rapinoe. He had done 2 tours in Afghanistan as an army ranger before he got to west point and he says that he became a communist under the tutelage of his superior officers and there were Many of them in the high offices. Well, look at our military now.
A scarf! 😂 I thought it was going to be full dress lol. Yeah dude was tripping.
Marine infantry vet myself and vetflakes are a real thing. There's too many vets out there who get offended by everything while saying shit like "I don't have feelings, the (fill in branch of your choice) destroyed them" while they're all up in their feelings. I also see the BS that some combat vets give non combat vets saying they're not real vets unless they have a CAR or CAB. You don't have to be a vet at all, or a combat vet, or infantry to care about this country, our freedoms, and fighting for our constitutional rights.
I am Cheyenne and frankly, I'm proud to see the logos and such. I am proud to see people preparing for SHTF
It gives me hope.
I'm Luiseno and have a wife and five kids. Been traveling from Minnesota to Mojave Desert to train at the former Front Sight Firearms Training Institute for 15 years because I had the foresight to see the Storm coming. Godspeed fellow Patriot!
A little off topic, but... When I was a kid in Boy Scouts, we were taught about "Indian" traditions. Yeah, of course they were idealized and romanticized, but all the same, we were taught about brave warriors and hunters. In tune with the world abound them and highly capable. I don't know if that has changed much, but it has very much bothered me that so many people seem to want to erase native Americans from everything to the point of making them disappear from that national consciousness. Our ancestors did them wrong, and now we must forget they exist and never talk about them lest we offend? What is more offensive than erasing them from the national fabric? We have a shared history. It may not be pretty, but it is shared nevertheless. Every group has it's dark side, but why would we not learn from and celebrate the worthy and admirable parts? When I see the names and symbols that evoke the native Americans, I think of positive associations and a respect for that past. Hell, I have a bit of Blackfoot in me as well, though so little that it doesn't count for much.
@@mattschultzy671 Growing up when I did, the proper ID term was Blackfeet rather than foot. (From friends in the 2nd circle)
I've always encouraged non vets to no how to defend themselves and be tactically trained up 👍😎🙏
Just subscribed… thanks for making that clear in all aspects I now have no apprehensions about buying clothing from the army Navy store and wearing it in public and doing things in the day today. BTW, my sons in the army he runs the 1777 and thank you for your service.
You are so humble, so down to earth, so right and and above all an American Hero a protector. What you are saying is right to the point Vet or no vet especially trained or not any individual brings talent to the table, through-out history heroes became from civilian population more so than military so due respect deserve any person that want's to dress as he pleases, yes this is AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL the land of the brave, well said Mr. BlackScout Survival do whatever you want.
NAVY vet here,53yrs old . Wish i knew some combat vets to help me train,but i do the best i can. Behind enemy lines in western colorado.
As a Vietnam era Vet I was shamed and spit on when I first got home. I have never bragged about what I know or did. Every American has the RIGHT to wear military gear as long as they don't lie about serving if they didn't. Stolen Valor is when someone claims to have served to get noticed or privileges, when they didn't serve at all. Some people today think they have the right to tell others what to wear or act. Every person who is PROUD of this country SHOULD be able toshow that pride without some ASSHOLE getting in their face.
I (12 year vet) was in a bar talking to a guy who did 6 years and he got triggered when I mentioned being in a certain operation that lasted a day and half. Apparently he felt that it didn't "count" because it only lasted a day. Some people are so insecure about themselves that they have to try to knock everybody else down to their level.
Train how you fight, Doesn't matter if you served or not.
😊👍
I am a 48 year old vet, I am absolutely not offended by Americans training. I agree with you bud, we all need to be training.
It warms my heart to see people wake up try to emulate, copy and learn from our military. I was an army medic and would love the opportunity to teach what I’ve learned. But it genuinely makes me happy to see people pursing their interests and frankly their own safety and independence in this fashion.
Glad for the group of guys I shoot with and stuff, mixed bag vets/non-vets, not that it ever matters or comes up at all really. Entirely different intention behind the training we do... massive difference in intention, force size, logistics, support, comms, and overall capability anyway, so they'd be the first to tell you "Well, in such and such branch we would have done x, y, and z, but we're gonna have to work out a different solution, because we don't have or can't do x,y, and z, etc."
I am a Marine from the 80's and I have noticed an increase in sensitivity in a lot of areas that we just used to laugh at back then. WTF is going on with men today. You prove your professionalism by your actions not by what you wear. Semper Fi Marine.
Semper Fi
Many men these days are simply not real men in many different ways, maybe someday they'll grow up.
Semper Fi Marines
soy boys, raised by single mothers, feminism, communist ideals...
Marine from the 80s lmao
As veterans, we need to be leaders for those who may not have served... yet. We will all be serving before too long so don't look down on someone who tacs up and goes out and trains. If you have some things you can teach them to make them more effective, then teach them. They may be fighting at your side before long. Stolen valor is something else entirely so don't put someone down if they're not guilty... they may turn out to be new heroes in the war to save our country.
I try to get everybody to think about preparedness. It is so smart to do so. Prepare for the worst but hope for the best. Funny thing is I still train because I have so much to learn. I was 19KILO and did not kick too many doors in. I have a ton to learn and would gladly transfer what I have learned to anyone who will listen.
I remember in the eighties, I was walking up and down docks on holiday shooting fish with my bow, a mother came up with her little boy to see and check it out 'see he likes hunting too but doesn't need a gun..." i said "I would have a gun if I could afford it, is a great tool, but I like my bow, and works fine too". When I said that... she couldn't get her kid away from me fast enough. An old man that taught me how to trap shoot was of the type "he's a good guy, but he can't shoot..." or "he's a great guy... and he can shoot..." hehe, loved that dude. Was shooting bow for several years by then when he showed up to take me trap shooting... 46 outta 60 frst try.... he was slapping his knee laughing like a madman..... was also trying to get me to buy one of his shotguns, but again. was broke as eff, always kinda was. Everyone should know how to shoot something, heck is fun at the very least, even a rock sling is fun and gives you an excuse to get out, touch grass, and hone a skill.
I’m 56 & not a vet but have been training & prepping for years. 911 was a wake up call for me to start pepping and since I got banged up at work with a back injury I couldn’t enlist so I started training with various groups and now have a great bunch of guys with the same insights. Great video brother!
Thanks Jack. You would think with everything going on in the world and here, Americans would want all neighbors to be prepared and working together
I am in agreement with the core sentiments and the core tenants espoused in this video by the host concerning individual rights, personal sovereignty of choice and Preparedness.
Retired Military Patriot, Veteran Preparedness/survival Pro..... 15 years and counting!
It’s because they think they’re a special class of citizens because they served. I believe I served so people could be free to do as they please. Semper Fi brother
Yes..true spirit of America..thank You for Your service
Jack... From a fellow vet. You said exactly what I thought at the beginning of the video. Every good American who loves this country and values freedom should arm up and train. That's what will keep freedom, and us, alive. Keep up the good work.
-- Retired vet and retired 21 year private contractor; worked with law enforcement doing jobs they couldn't/deemed too dangerous. I came out of retirement for two weeks to get some of our people out of Afghanistan. I've blocked for Tier 1 guys, was honored when they suggested we took some and they blocked for my team. Worked with MARSOC guys. Not saying that for D-length but comparison, because I've also teamed with airsoft guys, weekend warriors, and paintball/airsoft with my 7 year old daughter and her friends; somehow, they always get me :) I've no problem with civilians exercising their rights, gearing up, weekend warriors.
I believe it's our job to encourage them, train them for the purposes of safety and efficiency. As a matter of fact, I didn't even know this was an issue. I understand the tribes. I lead my tribes. You can get a chuckle out of some 320 pound dude wearing camo, until you see one I know tack-drive 800 meter shots for 2 hours in arctic conditions.
But now that you do mention this, it might have happened to me. Couple of young Marines we're giving me and my girls stink face and grumbling at a gas station because we were kitted out. We'd been deer hunting. Wasn't sure why at the time. Didn't know them. Hadn't created any problems. Wonder if that was it?
I served in the Seabees. The only time I have been bothered by people "training" at a gun grange was when they were being dangerous by violating range safety rules.
Didn’t know this was an issue … vets just like to be with other vets because they had trained the same and have common ground, but always be open to bring others in your circle! We need them all!
To be honest I have not seen it as an issue with the vets I know. Maybe it is just a youtube thang. OTH when people get together they have opinions, and some people stand out as fools, nothing wrong with making fun of them.
@@walkingwolf8072Most aren't, but I have a couple of POGs in the family that treated all the civilians in the family like they were beneath them, and now that they are out and civilians again they still act like that.
All veterans were once civilians.
Semper Fi
Army Vet here. I want and need those in my community to get the gear, get the training, organize and train, and be prepared.
I'm former infantryman and support any citizens who care enough to train. Furthermore, I find them very enthusiastic folks. After 6yrs in the Army I was burned out, so we vets need be grateful that our fellow citizens are willing to be ready to defend America! I've met hunters who are just as proficient in the woods as recon scouts. Remember we're a citizen military born of frontiersmen and farmers!
I’ve been called a “gravy seal” and “meal team 6” more by veterans than anyone else.
Hahaha I’ve never heard any of those, that’s funny.
I thought chair force one was funny, but gravy seal is awesome!
LOL, when I get together with family, my cousins and I tease each other's branch of service. Or should I say,,,, We tease each other's Branch of the tree of liberty!
Well I respect you and appreciate your service....thank you !!
@@mrf5347the tree of libertys mighty thirsty...
Your absolutley right Jack.
I am an old Army officer infantry vet. We should be on the front lines helping, sharing our knowledge with those Americans willing to learn. Our mission while on duty was to defend our Constitution. That document was for all Americans, not just for those of us that actually served.
Let us embrace our fellow American patriots and stand together against tyranny.
The constitution is being abused everyday. Even the cops are brainwashed to look for stolen vehicles because the insurance lobby has told Washington that vehicle recovery is more important than catching murderers. 1% of all murders get solved. If I only do my job correctly 1% of the time I don’t have a job. Second they keep harassing innocent people like Jeff gray for holding a sign. They ticket is constantly to make money for the state but then I see the Gadsden flag under a blue line sticker. This country looks more and more like Nazi Germany every day and Americans better arm themselves because when the government wants our guns it will be the 100k a year cop who will come for them. It is the standing army our forefathers warned us of.
