If you think This was crazy, go ahead and react to his other videos covering "pigeon guided missiles", and Britain's "chicken activated nuclear land mine". Go ahead and read that a second time, and yes, these are real.
One of his lines that's my favorites is " The one thing you don't want is to give a marine a problem and time to innovate" Americans are crazy, sort of
It's true. Marines have doctrine, they have procedures, they have orientation and instructions, for a reason. These guys are smart, they may not act like it, but I'm convinced it's part of their Operational Procedure to look dumb on a day to day basis. Because when you present them with a situation that no one has trained them to handle, they will improvise the shit out of it. When told "Figure It Out" you are giving them free reign to pull out every single crazy idea their individual brains can come up with, sort out the most unpredictable, they most lethal, the most fun, and they will probably choose either the most unpredictable, or most fun, because everyone expects the most lethal, no one expects them to find a TAC-P guy, lie to him to go with them, and put him in a situation where he'll use the entire month's budget or missile strike in 10 minutes.
This idea was off the charts genius. You see, at that time Japan was primarily using wood and rice paper as construction material. They would have killed more people with two bombs than the nucs, because they would have covered an area of hundreds of square miles.
Dentists with a little free time on their hands? A very dangerous thing. The Gatling gun: invented by a dentist with too much time on his hands. Doc Holiday (one of the deadliest gunfighters of the old west? A dentist with too much time on his hands. Then there was this guy.
During this experiment a couple of bats escaped and managed to burn down the facility where this was happening. They also burned down the air traffic control tower adjacent to it. I have pictures of the actual fire and have been to the old site several times do do the history of the WWII airbase.
The Mongols supposedly used sparrows to burn a town in 1207. They demanded 1000 sparrows to spare a town they were besieging, promising that they'd leave if this tribute was paid. Instead, they tied burning strings to the legs of the sparrows and released them. The birds flew back to their roosts (mostly in the eaves of homes) and the city was soon fighting so many fires the Mongol army was able to breach the walls. The Icelandic historian Snorri Sturluson tells of a similar tactic used by Norse raiders against a town in Sicily in his tale "Heimskringla". Birds with burning materials released to set a town alight. Both stories are dubious, but you never know, perhaps the American inventor of the bat bomb had heard those other stories and thought..."It just might work!"
Olga of Kiev kind of did the same thing as the Mongols. But instead of burning string, she used sacks of sulfur, and she and her men just sat back and watched the town burn.
I love this guy. His videos on the different military occupational specialties (MOS) are absolutely hilarious to us Veterans. Look up his video on the Last War Chief, Joe Medicine Crow. He is the last man from the Crow Tribe to earn that tribal honor of War Chief. It was a big deal when he died, he was from Montana.
FDRs letter was addressed to "Wild" Bill Donovan, head of the OSS. Office of Strategic Operations, the predecessor to the CIA. So, yeah, FDR thought that this might work.
You would love the story of the African queen whose husband, the king, was murdered by a neighboring kingdom and she laid siege to their capitol city. They told the city that she would end the siege, if they gave her a pigeon, or sparrow from each household. They readily agreed and she then took the birds and fastened sulfur to them, lit it and let them loose. They all flew home and started fires that burned the city to the ground.
Just to clarify, he says "bombing run" referring to all planes attacking one target at one time. In the case of the atomic bombs, it was a single plane dropping the bomb. On Mar 9 (Japanese call it the night of the black snow in reference to all the ash) over 250 planes participated, but it was 1 single "bombing run".
Would it? I feel that the reason firebombs were effective out of proportion was because Japan was largely made from wood and paper at the time. Would European and Russian areas be as susceptible? I'm not saying it wouldn't be deadly, just perhaps not as deadly as other weapons that we have now.
There are bat species that grow to be as big as dogs, one is even bigger than that. The vision of it arriving overhead would have been hilarious & terrifying.
Because I have always been a history fan I knew about the bat bomb and that the incendiary bombs were deadlier than nukes. Also the idea of the bat bomb eventually evolved into the cluster bomb
You might like the habitual linecrosser. He does face on maps, and planes, and boats lol. They are short and usually current news. But you might like him. He and TFE even did a collab recently. They are friends i believe.
In WWII, the Russians trained dogs to put bombs under tanks. And they sure did. When released they ran straight under the *RUSSIAN TANKS* just like they were trained to do.
Can I believe this if I didn’t already know this? I would say yes. You should see what else our government spends our taxpayer money on. They “study” a lot of weird stuff.
its like the Red Army dog bombs in WW2, they trained the dogs to associate tanks with food, but they trained them with Soviet tanks not German so when they set them loose on the battlefield they headed straight for the Soviet tanks
i know how to keep peta happy AND keep this bat bomb project going AND make it EVEN DEADLIER. now we have small robots, now we have artificial intelligence, now we can take an AI teach it all about bat life and mannerisms add some coding that dictates only so many batbots can roost in 1 spot at a time and put that ai into bat-like flying robots, robots that wont get tired cause theyre robots. robots that will spread farther and roost in MORE nooks and crannys cause we told it only so many can be there at once. and when the bombs detonate no actual bats are used. and to the enemy it still looks like a swarm of bats and even if they new whats up what are they gonna do about it? go areound trying to swat these lil bots that are flying eratically in bat like fashion oh and theres millions of them. then boom. the whole dam nation bursts into flames. local firefighters cant even pretend to get all those fires under control. now picture a few squadrens of B52s each plane with like a hundred of these bombs on bord
The atomic bombs were actually developed to terminate the Nazi part of Germany. They were tested late in June of 45. Germany had already surrendered in May. The first week of August Hiroshima was hit.

The Pres in question did have Polio. He was on some real meds. He also died as the Pres. before WWII was over.
Please react to Admiral McRaven's motivational speech. It is one of the best speeches ever.
@@scottcrosser1220 I agree. It was fantastic.

I love it.
Marines smell fear, run on anger and alcohol, and love crayons
No 'sort of' about it. If we have time, we can be quite creative. 😁

As I have said before Merica, lol. "cant be done,... watch this".
Yeah that was a "Hey hold my beer" moment for sure. Lol

Sometimes I like how the rest of the world looks at my country with pure confusion and disappointment.
I don't usually see disappointment more confusion a healthy dose of "what the heck is wrong with you"
@@rebel11201991 That's the kind of energy I aim to live my life by.
You should watch his video on the USS No Go. "A concrete battleship". Also known as Ft. Drum.(not the one in NY.)
It took the Seabees to cripple it but it's still standing

😂😂😂😂😂😂
Military has a long history of using animals. Bats, dogs, sea lions, dolphins.
Pidgeon-guided glide bombs,.. nuclear chicken roosts,.. you name it
Otters.
We don't talk about the dolphins
there was the whole cat guided bombs thing
Don't forget the pigeons.
as a pennyslvanian can confirm the dentists here are crazy enough for this to be normal here

I've seen that same book. It was real. It was tested on a mock-up town constructed on an airfield and burned the place down.
Never heard of this one before, but it is pretty interesting. Never underestimate American ingenuity and creativity.
Why don't we have Fried Chicken vending machines now? That sounds like an amazing idea.
I never thought before his video that a bombing run with weaker bombs could be more powerful than a bombing run with a stronger bomb.
In America we like to make things go BOOM! 💣
I highly, highly recommend The Fat Electrician's video about the Berlin Airlift. It is an incredible story.
The weird thing is, that type of weapon would be wildly effective today. Hey Ukraine, take notes on this one! Seriously.
Would it? I feel that the reason firebombs were effective out of proportion was because Japan was largely made from wood and paper at the time. Would European and Russian areas be as susceptible? I'm not saying it wouldn't be deadly, just perhaps not as deadly as other weapons that we have now.

2 out of 3 inventions?... Not too Bad!!! (Or, too BAT!!!) 😮💨...I know, I know 😞
a little correction the atomic bombs are the deadliest single use bombs

It was about the USS Wisconsin and the Korean war. All I can say is... TEMPER TEMPER
So this guy tried to invent drone mail before the drone.
Love your content, keep up the good work
Not only did it work, it worked too well…
Funnily enough not the only times animals were used in war. Lol i'm pretty sure various armies used different ones. Also the obvious dogs.
Good point 💯
In WWII, the Russians trained dogs to put bombs under tanks. And they sure did. When released they ran straight under the *RUSSIAN TANKS* just like they were trained to do.
@@nautifella Yeah i've heard about that. Not all ideas are good ideas. Lol
Watch his nuclear chicken video, that's real too
Infographics has a good video titled
Weirdest World War 2 Weapons You Never Heard Of
Can I believe this if I didn’t already know this? I would say yes. You should see what else our government spends our taxpayer money on. They “study” a lot of weird stuff.
some dentist held a seance with Gengis Khan.
Reality is often stranger then fiction
its like the Red Army dog bombs in WW2, they trained the dogs to associate tanks with food, but they trained them with Soviet tanks not German so when they set them loose on the battlefield they headed straight for the Soviet tanks
Believe it my friend it exists.
I checked the pinned comment and the video description and can't find the link to the other channel.
If you mean the original video. Type in the fat electrician. You wont regret it. If not, I'm sorry. Just trying to help.
This is known buddy!
My guess is bats use echolocation echolocation you can “see” what you can’t like an x-ray. 0 idea if it’s true just thinking out loud.
so, what is your other channel?
André reacts. Go to my profile. I have the channel on the Bottom. 🙌
The movie wanted with Angelina Jolie the guy put bombs on rats then let them loose in the base
Rosevelt was a great president everyone loved him.
You should watch The Fat Electrician, America blew up a whale.
Whats your new channel called ?
Thats insane why didnt batman use this

True story
All stories are real
Larry bird ultra mixed tape you won’t believe it.react to this video

@EuropeanReact. Is there something I can help with?
Most UA-camrs lie i would check on this i dont believe this one at all
Did you check on this yourself before commenting? Or are you just telling someone else to do it without doing it yourself?
If it wasnt for snowflake peta we probably would have used this at some point
I think i prefer bat bomb sounds like a batman gadget seems like this is a joke being a veteran this seems like bull crap
Thats insane why didnt batman use this
