I saw it mentioned that the reason Jake could pull of the ruck march without a sock change or blisters was because he had gone barefoot most of his life and the soles of his feet were nothing but callous. That certainly explains it.
I hadn't heard that, but he had been active pretty much his entire life. In addition to all the hunting and such in his childhood, he worked a full-time job (likely manual labor) in addition to his schooling, and was then a firefighter. ICYDK, firefighters have pretty strenuous physical requirements which includes being on their feet up to 24 hours straight while wearing 100-150 pounds of gear *and* potentially carrying an unconscious person as well. Walking for 12 hours a day with an 80-pound pack was a breeze compared to that.
I got sober in A.A. in 1982. I found a pin with the A-A on it and wore it until one day a Vietnam vet suggested very strongly that I not wear that pin. I followed his advice.
Kabir most soldiers had their mess kits with them so if there was a hot meal they could get some. The most common cooking vessel was the helmet - perfect for soups, stews, and frying things in. There's a movie called Battleground that illustrates it. They'd cook over a small fire, sometimes underground. The movie the Dirty Dozen is based upon McNiece.
You can fry eggs on a piece of metal. Once it is hot enough, you'll fry the eggs. Hell, you can fry eggs on the road if the temperature is hot enough. Go to Phoenix in July and drop on a sidewalk and it will begin to fry. Phoenix in July is at least 112F everyday.
@@m2hmghb But, I mean. They just took out 10 German hot plates...I mean tanks.... And they apparently also have a burner....flamethrower....No need to make a hot hat when there's a bigger griddle already smoldering. Although, fried eggs always works better when you have butter.
to break down the ruck march, it has been determined that nowadays a ruck march is 12 miles carrying anywhere from 70 -100 lbs. A spectacular pace is usually 4 miles per hour. On average a march is between 2-3 miles per hour. It would take at least 68 hours at a speed of 2 mph at 4mph it would take 34 hours for 136 mile ruck.
That's today. WW2 was a lot different and elite units were even more different. Heck airborne are faster then regular infantry even today. Not to mention they were used to walking a lot more and carrying heavy shit while doing it.
@@m2hmghb The 136 mile ruck took 80 hours, they actually spent a lot of time resting because they had already done a different ruck march just a few days earlier, which is also probably why only 75 of them finished. And luckily for Jake, I assume he was in the stockade the whole time so he was fresh and ready to go lol
My late father in law was a demolition expert in the Korean War. He used to tell stories about the dangers he and the other men went through traveling with jeeps or just backpacks full of explosives . When he got back from Korea and was stateside at a military base he decided to go awol one weekend to meet up with his brother and go drinking all weekend. His brother was a medic in the airforce and was in both WW2 and Korean war. When my father in law retured monday the commander of course, screamed in my father in laws face . It was cold with snow on the ground and my father in law still being half drunk and half hungover hit the commander and he went down in a pile of snow . They busted my father in laws rank back down so low a while later when his time was up for service they had to give him a promotion so he could get out with an honorable discharge . From the stories I've heard he would have fit right in with Jake's group. Must be something the demolition men have in common. He had several run-ins with the MP's . My husband after he passed was able to contact the military and get duplicates of his dads medals of wich there were several. He had a sense of humor that was off the chart. He is greatly missed everyday and from day 1 I was not just his daughter in law I was a daughter to him with him often taking my side over his son. God bless!
They did the 136 miles in four days. Just a short time prior to this they had completed a 600 man march in full combat load, 115 miles in 31 hours. I once had to walk 5 miles to the house and back to carry tools out when my truck broke down. Another time just a couple miles carrying a pair of car batteries. I still can't imagine what it took for them to make those numbers.
You are always worried about money. War is not about money, it's about winning and protecting the nation. Americans are not like other people. We love money but we love our nation more. And protecting the US and Americans are more important than money. Heroes do not worry about the pay. They worry about saving their troops and others on our side.
5:26 I worked with a Modern Day Jake when I was in the USMC... I was the Robin to his Batman, and never could have gotten away with the stuff he did lol 😆 But, like you said, dude was just so good at being a Marine, that nobody cared. Like, it was obvious he knew all the rules and regulations better than anybody else, but... He didn’t have time for all that crap. It was generally small things like Walking and Eating at the same time in Uniform... Outside... without a Cover on... while a Lt. salute's him with a confused look on his face as the Screeching of Eagles can be heard off in the distance and the Marine Corps Hymn starts to play... as we keep walking.
People often forget that a lot of the *”British food sucks”* opinions that came back home with our soldiers of that time-is because they were sent there and were experiencing the “local English cuisine” after the UK had already been under heavy rationing, for multiple years. Most people/places/military stations literally didn’t HAVE the spices and ingredients that they typically use-available to them (or not in the quantities they needed). ❤
You are an infantryman and in his case an Airborne infantryman you improvise! You scramble the eggs in your steel helmet over a fire. The movie made about the filthy thirteen was called The Dirty Dozen. The character that represents McNeice was Lee Marvin and his character's name is Major Riechman. It's an interesting rendition of McNeice's story. Check out the films The Battle of The Bulge and Battleground both are about Bastogne the first one is newer than the first. No the military doesn't give you a day off between operations. Technically you are on duty 20 hours a day and you're lucky in times of combat to get that.
When my dad was in the Navy, his captain would tell the new officers and other people who went on his sub, 'Ok, when ti comes to (my dad and his group) don't touch them, don't talk to them unless you need to. And if they do anything stupid, ignore it or tell me." yeah.....there are some people who either 'do not exist', or are 'myths'.....my dad is both....
I know someone that was in the 82nd Airborne. He did 1 tour of duty in Iraq and 2 in Afghanistan. Although the last one wasn't with an Airborne unit. Said he didn't want to see his friends get hurt from jumping anymore. He was taken care of after his service. Better then most. Uncle Sam understands, higher risk jobs come with extra benefits.
You cut off the interview with Jake at the end. It's interesting listening to younger people doing historical reviews. You asked if the people were told an attack was coming. No. They are in a war-torn country, little or no power, personal radios are rare, information takes days or weeks to be spread. You can't equate our technology to what was available at the time. Even now, in a war zone, the average person finds out about an attack when the first rounds hit.
That was funny at about the 2:05 part at the very beginning…you paused and said “text book Boy Scout, basically”…and when you hit play he stopped and looks up at you like he heard you say that….funny
this was WWII times were different and no one was to concerned about civilians. .... of course no one wants to kill civilians but a certain amount of collateral damage was expected. .. if we.could have fought the same way in Afghanistan that war would have lasted about 20 minutes instead of 20 years and a stealmate
I never thought seasoning ground beef with vinegar (Wimpy Burger Bar) was a good idea. They predated McDonalds in London in the 60s and 70s. I'm not sure if they survived. I did really like fish and chips as long as the cod was really fresh.
Funny you mentioned war daddy, TFE did a video on the real life war daddy that Brad Pitt's character in Fury was based off of, you should watch it too.
The army standard is 12 miles (19km) in 3 hours, or 4mi an hour. So 136mi would take 34 hours. If you can do eight hours a day, that's 3 days 2 hours. While doing research, I ran across a list of his awards. Somehow, out of all the crazy adventures he embarked on, apparently, he managed to get a good conduct medal 😮🤔🤨
Hi Kabir, Pathfinder was very dangerous, but so was the job of messenger. In WW1 the Germans would send out 5 soldiers each bearing the same message. That was the only way that they could be sure the message got through, as the death rate of messengers was 80%. Corporal Adolph Hitler was one such messenger, and earned the Iron Cross first class twice, something almost unheard of for a corporal. Both times it was, ironically, awarded by Jewish officers.
Yup. If you had no mess gear and there was hot chow you got no hot chow. Steel pots made for a great stew/soup pot or fry pan. There's a scene from the movie battleground where one of them is cooking eggs in his helmet when he has to go out on guard duty, puts the steel pot on with egg dripping out.
Oh yeah, I’ve been there, one shower a week, if lucky, depending on when and where you were in Afghanistan or Iraq, at times we barely had enough fresh water to drink, but not enough to stay fully hydrated, so there were times we went weeks, with enough water to stay alive, and a little extra for drinking. And that was the only water we got or seen that was safe to drink. Lived at times for weeks taking “whore baths” aka using a baby wipe or two to clean up, do your face and hands first, then torso/arms and legs, then pitts and feet last, that’s real fun in the Iraqi summer and that’s the best you get every day if lucky, for weeks on end, it’s a good thing that Iraqi smells like a burning trash pit with sewage and dead animals on it, rotten oil pumped on it too, and cars…the country always smelled worse than you or your buddies did.
Enjoying you're reaction with some Tincup Whiskey. Been an intense day in Southern Indiana !! Tornados 🌪 warning n watches to start, the scarier evening round... Just went under another 🌪 watch. The road is already blocked east n west by downed trees. We took the Jeep through the pasture...JEEP!
Lol I actually got assigned to my own platoon in my Reserves Marine Military Police company after coming in late and apparently other issues lol the shitbird platoon. Lol I also had a bit of an attitude problem
The British today have gotten very soft. It's hard to believe they nearly conquered the whole world. I guess when Winston Churchill came to the United States and ask for help and we did it all came apart.
Still lots of those families around here Dude. Still plenty with 6-9 kids.... But we're all farming families. Grow it & raise it .. sell it or eat it! So much easier to do when 85% of your food comes from the land you live on or the rivers & forests around you 😉 Just fish alone i just put another 1000 3-5 inch trout in my pond this spring. $1.50 each.. once matured each one will feed 3-4 at my dinner table. From "Caught to Cooked" in 20 minutes total. It doesn't get any more fresh than that; nor nutrition. They are fed on natural insects each night drawn in by low hanging LED bulbs over the water & 100% natural ground & meal worm pellets (pure natural protein) I have a deal with my neighbours (2) .. I trade trout & poultry & eggs for Beef on one side and Pork on the other side; plus we regularly trade off excess vegetables & fruit. I purchased 12 Hybrid Trees that started producing last year.. each tree produces 5 different fruit (Mac & Golden apples, Bartlett Pears, Red Plums, Black Cherries) Add in my wild caught proteins (Moose, Deer & variety of fish) You can certainly keep a family fed quite cheaply & easily! Go out for 6 Sea Bass and put 170-200 Lbs of incredible White Fish in the freezer.. Myself, wife and a kid.. allowed 2 each. The problem with the world today is everybody moving into concrete jungles and rely on PURCHASING everything. Get off the beaten path and get some land at the same price or cheaper... And really LIVE free; on the earth that God granted us to prosper on.
Nick has another channel called the Fat Files. It's more stories that aren't military related. Also, don't cut his videos. The ads and closing are usually worth the watch. Plus, there's often footage included at the very end. Edit: your comment at the very end about how if Jake hadn't been in the military, the world could be a very different place. It absolutely would be a very different place, today. The story from Holland, while keeping the continuity of the story, was just him showing off. That aside, Jake was the lynchpin for most of the Allied forces efforts being successful. What would have happened at the bridge if Jake and his men hadn't disobeyed a direct order? That kind of No Fucks Given was necessary. Once he was on the ground, he was able to immediately find the winning play, and he was going to see it done, even if he was ordered not to. And he had earned the loyalty and trust he had from the men following him. Higher up, the commanding officers weren't the ones getting shot at, so they did not have the respect or trust of the enlisted men. Even in a formal military command structure, trust is key. That's what makes a military strong.
Yeah, most military units can't function and do their job properly with people like this in them. The military *can* and occasionally does find ways to use guys like this, but it's extra work finding (or sometimes creating) the right unit to put them in and the right role to assign them. 136 miles is a long walk, yes. That's five marathons back to back. The world record time for a marathon is over two hours, and that is an absolutely exhausting pace, so doing it five times back to back (which would let you cover the 136 miles in a bit over ten hours) is probably impossible; in practice it's going to take considerably longer. And that's without the fifty pounds or so of additional gear that you carry on a ruckmarch. Finishing it within one 24-hour day might theoretically be possible but it would be an incredibly long and exhausting day, even for a world-class athlete in peak condition. The army food in WWII, was probably not the best cuisine that the country has ever had to offer, for any country that participated in the war. Somehow I don't think the Brits were serving the troops beef wellington on a regular basis. Although the food was probably better than what the Royal Navy served on board ship during the age of sail. So there's that. The higher-ups had probably been informed that the plane carrying the Filthy Thirteen hadn't made it to the target drop zone, at which point they probably marked the mission as failed.
Dude you are starting to forget to link the original video in description. A lot of content creators don’t like others taking their videos and not credit them?
@@zacharyricords8964this is how copyright strikes happen bro. plus fat electrician works rlly hard and deserves his credit in the description of every video he is in.
Started the video and seen in the preview of the comments this man stopped before watching Jake HIMSELF tell the MP story. Is it messed up that I kind of don't want to watch it now? Lol
Please stop cutting out the outro of his videos he most of the time adds little things like bloopers and sometimes adds context he also encourages peoples reaction he is in the comment sections of a lot of peoples reaction to his videos so please stop cutting the outro

No point in watching the sponsor. He doesn't get extra money for it. But he definitely needs to watch everything else (esp those bits at the end).
@@pacmon5285the sponsor always had a funny joke with it.
@@hlessiavedon Ehh. Sometimes. Still not necessary.
He was a combat medic.
@@hiheeledsneakers
I knew that 😁. I forgot to put medic after combat. Thanks. It has been corrected.
Nice video but dammit Kabir you keep skipping the cool clips he puts in the ends of his videos!
It gets better? Damn
The clip was of Jake McNasty himself telling the story of the fight he had with the MPs over the treatment of one of his men.
Yea bro I came to say this 😂😂
My dad was with the 101st and 82nd airborne division during WWII, loved watching this, thanks you
I saw it mentioned that the reason Jake could pull of the ruck march without a sock change or blisters was because he had gone barefoot most of his life and the soles of his feet were nothing but callous. That certainly explains it.
I hadn't heard that, but he had been active pretty much his entire life. In addition to all the hunting and such in his childhood, he worked a full-time job (likely manual labor) in addition to his schooling, and was then a firefighter. ICYDK, firefighters have pretty strenuous physical requirements which includes being on their feet up to 24 hours straight while wearing 100-150 pounds of gear *and* potentially carrying an unconscious person as well. Walking for 12 hours a day with an 80-pound pack was a breeze compared to that.
Should have watched it too the end where the man tells a story
you should have reacted to the end there's a little clip of Jake talking.
So love "Fat Electrician" no one tells military history better! Thank you! Sergeant Reckless is a must!
Yes! This, please!
I got sober in A.A. in 1982. I found a pin with the A-A on it and wore it until one day a Vietnam vet suggested very strongly that I not wear that pin. I followed his advice.
Kabir most soldiers had their mess kits with them so if there was a hot meal they could get some. The most common cooking vessel was the helmet - perfect for soups, stews, and frying things in. There's a movie called Battleground that illustrates it. They'd cook over a small fire, sometimes underground.
The movie the Dirty Dozen is based upon McNiece.
You missed the best part you stopped the video too soon you didn’t hear from Jake himself. Describe the incident with the MP’s.
You can fry eggs on a piece of metal. Once it is hot enough, you'll fry the eggs. Hell, you can fry eggs on the road if the temperature is hot enough. Go to Phoenix in July and drop on a sidewalk and it will begin to fry. Phoenix in July is at least 112F everyday.
Helmet was the standard.
@@m2hmghb But, I mean. They just took out 10 German hot plates...I mean tanks.... And they apparently also have a burner....flamethrower....No need to make a hot hat when there's a bigger griddle already smoldering. Although, fried eggs always works better when you have butter.
Who could play Jake McNasty? Lee Marvin. Pretty sure his role (Major Reisman) in the Dirty Dozen was based on Jake McNiece.

More of this, please.
You got to go to the end,you missed an interview with Jake himself
Wonderful! I love the Fat Electrician (aka Quack Bang!).
you missed the ending Jake talking for himself
Yes, he did get awards 4 Bronze Stars and 2 Purple Hearts
Considering his exploits though....
You skipped the very end the short interview.
Love the way this man tells a story! Lol

I'd like to see a movie about Jake starring Jon Bernthal.
Great choice. I'd watch that right now.
Jake Is my spirit animal
Also I agree with everyone else about cutting up the videos/ending them too early. I highly recommend the proportional video.
This has to be one of my favorite Fat Electrician stories. Jake was a wild man
The movie they made about this guy is called The Dirty Dozen. Made in the 1970’s.

You missed a segment of Jake himself that was on the end of the video. Nick has a habit of putting little clips on the end of some of his videos.
I love the fat electrician reactions
they don't make exceptions during peacetime. In wartime when there is a chance of losing exceptions are made.
Bonus? We got jump pay. I joined in 1979 and jump pay was only $55. 00 U.S.
An inch is equivalent to two and a half centimeters. So, inches are better than centimeters.
Yeah u gotta watch cassius clay "most gangsta politician ever"
Absolutely! That’s a great episode
this was WWII times were different and no one was to concerned about civilians. .... of course no one wants to kill civilians but a certain amount of collateral damage was expected. .. if we.could have fought the same way in Afghanistan that war would have lasted about 20 minutes instead of 20 years and a stealmate
The movie The Dirty Dozen was supposedly made about him.
"Word of Mouth" is the OG "going viral" and has existed for a million years.
He has a video on "war daddy" which shines more on the story
No, Kabir, the "Filthy Thirteen" were the inspiration for the movie "The Dirty Dozen".
I remember reading once that in ancient times, human body odor was a natural defense mechanism against wild animals.
And let's be clear...I'm Jewish...and the SECOND shortest cookbook (behind a Jewish cookbook)...is British. Facts.
Gotta get the end of the video brother he tends to put some gold nuggets at the end
I never thought seasoning ground beef with vinegar (Wimpy Burger Bar) was a good idea. They predated McDonalds in London in the 60s and 70s. I'm not sure if they survived. I did really like fish and chips as long as the cod was really fresh.
Haha I was on the same wavelength because I also thought of Ryan Reynolds 🤣
Great minds think alike!
There WAS a movie made about Jake, it's called " The Dirty Dozen "
As a paratrooper from the 82nd airborne I can confirm what he said is true.
Black Pudding and Fish n' Chips are pretty good. Beans on toast is decent.
Funny you mentioned war daddy, TFE did a video on the real life war daddy that Brad Pitt's character in Fury was based off of, you should watch it too.
I hope Nick does a video on the 761st tank battalion.
I think Statham could be Jake. Be a hell of a movie. Hollywood? Are you listening?
The army standard is 12 miles (19km) in 3 hours, or 4mi an hour. So 136mi would take 34 hours. If you can do eight hours a day, that's 3 days 2 hours.

Wellington, bangers and mash, Yorkshire pudding are the only things I can think of that I like as far as British food.
The march was to break the Japanese record it’s nowhere near a regular one.
Yes, a part of my many ancestors, The First Nations, The Original Peoples (a.k.a. The Native American Indians) Tribes.

John Cena I think would be good to play Jake.
How did he cook his eggs....your kidding? Make a fire. They had fold up mess gear to cook and eat out of. Also many cooked out of their metal helmets.
Yup. If you had no mess gear and there was hot chow you got no hot chow. Steel pots made for a great stew/soup pot or fry pan. There's a scene from the movie battleground where one of them is cooking eggs in his helmet when he has to go out on guard duty, puts the steel pot on with egg dripping out.
Bad food was during war rationing and spices were short supply
Problem with authority? MERICA!!!
It's how we roll.
Watch 2024 😊 MAGA!
You missed the ending and don't forget to give Nick his credits for the video with how much effort he put into his work.

Lived at times for weeks taking “whore baths” aka using a baby wipe or two to clean up, do your face and hands first, then torso/arms and legs, then pitts and feet last, that’s real fun in the Iraqi summer and that’s the best you get every day if lucky, for weeks on end, it’s a good thing that Iraqi smells like a burning trash pit with sewage and dead animals on it, rotten oil pumped on it too, and cars…the country always smelled worse than you or your buddies did.
Labor great story I didn’t even know that amazing
We did an annual 100mi ruck in 10th Mtn division, so 136 sounds very possible to me
Enjoying you're reaction with some Tincup Whiskey.
Been an intense day in Southern Indiana !!
Tornados 🌪 warning n watches to start, the scarier evening round...
Just went under another 🌪 watch.
The road is already blocked east n west by downed trees.
We took the Jeep through the pasture...JEEP!
Holland Indiana, rumbling...the house shakes from the bass of the lightning
Xan of sterno used to cook the eggs in you steel helmet.
great video reaction~ I love these videos
Lol I actually got assigned to my own platoon in my Reserves Marine Military Police company after coming in late and apparently other issues lol the shitbird platoon. Lol I also had a bit of an attitude problem
Scott Eastwood as Jake.
They couldn't afford it back then either, but they made due!
He also does a good video on the real war daddy
3:30 TFE did a video about war daddy should check that one out also
The British today have gotten very soft. It's hard to believe they nearly conquered the whole world. I guess when Winston Churchill came to the United States and ask for help and we did it all came apart.
Still lots of those families around here Dude. Still plenty with 6-9 kids.... But we're all farming families. Grow it & raise it .. sell it or eat it!
So much easier to do when 85% of your food comes from the land you live on or the rivers & forests around you 😉
Just fish alone i just put another 1000 3-5 inch trout in my pond this spring. $1.50 each.. once matured each one will feed 3-4 at my dinner table. From "Caught to Cooked" in 20 minutes total. It doesn't get any more fresh than that; nor nutrition.
They are fed on natural insects each night drawn in by low hanging LED bulbs over the water & 100% natural ground & meal worm pellets (pure natural protein)
I have a deal with my neighbours (2) .. I trade trout & poultry & eggs for Beef on one side and Pork on the other side; plus we regularly trade off excess vegetables & fruit.
I purchased 12 Hybrid Trees that started producing last year.. each tree produces 5 different fruit (Mac & Golden apples, Bartlett Pears, Red Plums, Black Cherries)
Add in my wild caught proteins (Moose, Deer & variety of fish) You can certainly keep a family fed quite cheaply & easily! Go out for 6 Sea Bass and put 170-200 Lbs of incredible White Fish in the freezer.. Myself, wife and a kid.. allowed 2 each.
The problem with the world today is everybody moving into concrete jungles and rely on PURCHASING everything. Get off the beaten path and get some land at the same price or cheaper... And really LIVE free; on the earth that God granted us to prosper on.
Nick has another channel called the Fat Files. It's more stories that aren't military related.
Also, don't cut his videos. The ads and closing are usually worth the watch. Plus, there's often footage included at the very end.
Edit: your comment at the very end about how if Jake hadn't been in the military, the world could be a very different place. It absolutely would be a very different place, today. The story from Holland, while keeping the continuity of the story, was just him showing off. That aside, Jake was the lynchpin for most of the Allied forces efforts being successful. What would have happened at the bridge if Jake and his men hadn't disobeyed a direct order? That kind of No Fucks Given was necessary. Once he was on the ground, he was able to immediately find the winning play, and he was going to see it done, even if he was ordered not to. And he had earned the loyalty and trust he had from the men following him. Higher up, the commanding officers weren't the ones getting shot at, so they did not have the respect or trust of the enlisted men. Even in a formal military command structure, trust is key. That's what makes a military strong.
The reason Jake didn't salute officers. It was against religious beliefs.
28:39 I agree, a younger Hugh Jackman would probably do really well.
Kabir the dirty dozen is a really good movie you should watch it
THE DIRTY DOZEN is a great movie you should react to it
You should watch the Dirty Dozen. It'd a great movie from the 1960s in color.
In the future, watch to the end of his videos
7:00 That’s what I call Rogue One. 😎
BTW..."War Daddy" was a real guy.
Yeah, most military units can't function and do their job properly with people like this in them. The military *can* and occasionally does find ways to use guys like this, but it's extra work finding (or sometimes creating) the right unit to put them in and the right role to assign them.
136 miles is a long walk, yes. That's five marathons back to back. The world record time for a marathon is over two hours, and that is an absolutely exhausting pace, so doing it five times back to back (which would let you cover the 136 miles in a bit over ten hours) is probably impossible; in practice it's going to take considerably longer. And that's without the fifty pounds or so of additional gear that you carry on a ruckmarch. Finishing it within one 24-hour day might theoretically be possible but it would be an incredibly long and exhausting day, even for a world-class athlete in peak condition.
The army food in WWII, was probably not the best cuisine that the country has ever had to offer, for any country that participated in the war. Somehow I don't think the Brits were serving the troops beef wellington on a regular basis. Although the food was probably better than what the Royal Navy served on board ship during the age of sail. So there's that.
The higher-ups had probably been informed that the plane carrying the Filthy Thirteen hadn't made it to the target drop zone, at which point they probably marked the mission as failed.

@@zacharyricords8964this is how copyright strikes happen bro. plus fat electrician works rlly hard and deserves his credit in the description of every video he is in.
Yet we have all seen his original video. You can easily find it..
Started the video and seen in the preview of the comments this man stopped before watching Jake HIMSELF tell the MP story. Is it messed up that I kind of don't want to watch it now? Lol
Watch the original movie. "The Dirty Dozen" Lee Marvin.
Good movie.
Please stop cutting out the outro of his videos he most of the time adds little things like bloopers and sometimes adds context he also encourages peoples reaction he is in the comment sections of a lot of peoples reaction to his videos so please stop cutting the outro
