    Whenever i see this video, i remember of a few quotes that go surprisingly well.
    "The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."
    - General Douglas MacArthur
    "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."
    - General George S. Patton
    "War is delightful to those who have not yet experienced it."

    Travis, as a fellow Marine, I share your pain at the loss of our brothers. There is nothing I can say that will ease that pain. But I did want to give you something to consider. Your survival, by pure chance, allows you the honor of keeping your squad alive. In memory if nothing else. No one is ever gone as long as someone remains to remember them. That someone is you! And now, me as well. Keep moving forward, cause we never retreat. Only regroup! Semper Fi my brother!

    My father was drafted by the US Navy around the beginning of the Vietnam War and flew co-pilot for the medivacs. He told me how bad he had it; ignoring the screams of dying men which almost always were louder then the Huey's engine and props; getting shot at because of the red cross on his bird; dropping those dead-in-the-eye special forces guys off and picking them up covered in blood and mud with prisoners... I respect any man who's served in our military as well as those who serve in honorable militaries from other nations.
    I may never serve, but I'll never disrespect those who have and those who will. Better men then I have died to ensure I don't live in a worse world, so I make sure to always talk to those who came back and remind them that there's always a new dawn shining on our flag because of them.

    "When they're looking down on you, they don't want you to be living in the moment that killed them. You made it. You got home. You should honor their memory by living the life that they didn't get to live." Wise words to live by, sadness and regret are natural feelings the can arise from the death of a loved one. But I have found comfort in the quote to move forward after the death of someone near and dear as I go through those feelings in the grieving process.

      ولبنائها استعبدتم ملايين المواطنين الأفارقة
      ثم رحتم تبحثون عن دول اخرى لتستنزفوها، ولفقتم لاهلها التهم
      باكستان، صنعتم بلادن لتجدوا ذريعة لاحتلالها
      العراق، لفقتم تهمة النووي لصدام ذريعة لاحتلالها
      ولو كان مع صدام نووي لما كان حال العراق كما هو اليوم
      تريدون تجربة قنبلة جديدة، لا بأس إذًا من قتل وتشويه وسرطنة وتعذيب آلاف اليبانيين من الأطفال والنساء والشيوخ والمدنيين العزل
      هل فلسطين كذلك تمثل خطرا على حريتكم المزعومة حتى تمولوا اليهود بثلاثة مليار واكثر سنويا لقتل الفلسطنيين الأبرياء
      ألم تر ذلك المقطع الذي يهاجم فيه الجنود اليهود غلاما من ذوي الإعاقة وإطلاق الرصاص عليه
      أم الطفل الرضيع الذي كان يبكي على كتف امه النازحة من فلسطين فقتله الجندي فورا برصاصة في رأسه لأن صوت بكائه أزعجه، ثم سمح لامه بالمرور وهي تحمل رضيعها الذي كان حيا منذ ثانيتان
      كل شيء موثق بالمقاطع إن كنت لا تصدق
      أنت تدفع ضرائبك لتذهب لليهود ليقتلوا الحرية والأحرار في بلد اخرى
      مهما ادعى شعبكم انه ذا علم ومعرفة فأنتم اجهل الناس بحكامكم وما يدور في العالم من حولكم
      ولو قال لكم حكامكم ان الشمس تشرق من الغرب لصدقتموهم
      مهما كان وضعنا الإقتصادي والسياسي متدهور فعلى الأقل نحن نعرف حقيقة حكامنا، نعرف الخونة منهم، ونعرف العملاء منهم
      نعرف كذبهم ونعرف الصادق منهم

I’m glad that I haven’t had to have an experience like this in the past 5 years. All of my friends are still around. Some of them are still serving with me today along with all the new friends I’ve made. With me switching to Combat engineering and going active I hope I don’t have to lose anyone. And I hope nobody has to lose me. Really touching story, I’m empathetic for him and his experience. But glad it grounded me once again to the reality of the job field I’m in.

    Reminds me of the story of my uncle when he fought in the Vietnam war. One part of the story that I would never forget was the part where my uncle was sleeping in the bunker with his squad and something told him to wake up and sleep somewhere. While he was in the process of getting in a fox hole and falling back to sleep, the bunker where all his friends were located died from a bomb being tossed from a aircraft. Because of that day, my uncle wasn't the same to the point he turned to alcohol as his coping mechanism. Truth be told, no one is fit for war.

    I am 58 years old. I listened to my Uncle's and my Father-In-Law's My Nieces Husband's. It's not easy, to even hear. To listen to hear agony in their voice, to see the pain on their faces, or the tear that falls from their eye. But always needs to be witnessed. Then written down, for Like my Uncle, and Father-In-Law, it goes from a living memory to only written.

      People who bash our military typically don't know what they are talking about. Granted, I'm not saying we are perfect as we have made bad decisions in the past, but when I look back at the Vietnam protests and how people spat in our soldier's faces after they sacrificed so much to keep us safe, it makes my blood boil. Our soldeirs deserve the utter most respect.

      HansMario818 You have to understand if everyone took your philosophy of just "get a safe job". The would be no military which means no government which means no authority wich means no safe jobs. These men and woman put their lives on the line and some give their lives so that we can have "safe" jobs. So that we can be and feel safe. So that we can go to school so that we can be free. Don't think for a moment that if we all just had "safe" jobs there will never be war. There will always be terrorist and those who are too ignorant and prideful to supmit and respect authority. So there will always be war and you have to understand that. In the next few years I plan on joining the Marine Corps. The reason I feel I should join is not for me, but for you, for my family for my friends for country. See, I understand the importance of a military and those willing to give their lives for others. I hope you will too.

    Lol i was 1st squad 3rd platoon. Just a different one and in the army not marines. But i got hit by an ied and walked away. No one else did. I totally get this. 20 minutes earlier when rolling out the gate i asked my buddy(the gunner) if he wanted to drive instead cause i know he's tired of being gunner. He didn't want to swap. I was lead convoy driver and we were hit with an EFP type ied. He got his legs blown off. I never felt survivors guilt though. Just excitement for life, especially since i was sparred. I lost my religion on that day along with a good friend.
