    Thank you for watching this video. I'm a Marine combat veteran I lost 2 brothers while I was in and 3 to their own hands after we got out. #22 a day is a number that haunts me. We had a saying in the Marines "freedom isn't free but don't worry the Marines will pay your share" all we ask of our civilians is that they vote people in that won't send us to stupid wars. We live by a warriors code " stand behind me and I will protect you, stand beside me and I will respect you, stand against us and we will show you no mercy. We Marines know what we do means we proably won't make it to heaven so we would all say we will meet and drink a horn in Valhalla. Semper Fi to all my warrior brothers and sisters out there until we meet in Valhalla. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC

    They are VERY strong supporters of the military. But, they are also very much against bullying. Check out the song "Lift Me Up" that they did with Rob Halford of Judas Priest. Very different feel from this one, but it is very inspiring, while being very in your face. Absolute banger while meaning something to people who are being bullied, held down, etc.

      Dude, you joined the army (signed a contract) of your own free will. You could have gone to a normal job like the others (warehouse, salesman, policeman, fireman, etc.). You chose to shoot and be shot at and now you're talking nonsense about how it was hard, bad and even BOOM! You made your choice, live with the consequences (action - reaction). Or maybe you should stop feeling sorry for yourself, how you made your bed is how you sleep now.

I've had regular cushy civilian jobs both before and after my time in the service. I don't regret my time in, for the most part I enjoyed it, even the shitty parts. It's people like you that contribute to the deaths of my brothers. It is shameful the way that so many of those served treat those that serve them.

I'm also part of the stop soldier suicide program. I've been in that mindset. I've lost brothers after coming home, and a few overseas. This song always hits home. Also look up gone away by Five Finger Death Punch. That one is very emotional.

    Thank you 5FDP for pushing this to the forefront in with the creation and release of this great song. Thank you Rosalie for bringing this to light again. This song is sooo good to the point it hurts so much. Every time I watch it, my soul and warrior spirit bleeds.
    As a Veteran that has had his body broken by the Army and has to endure the VA, Government, and People abusing, exploiting and shaming us, words cannot come even close to being able to express the pain and trauma. Due to luck, bad and good, cause it is both, I was not able to deploy due to the injuries so I dont have to endure the additional mental anguish that most do from Combat. I deal with varying levels of pain, was almost homeless multiple times, and still cannot get medicine to help tolerate the pain when it spikes. I say all this as there are days and weeks that I barely hang on without that extra pain so I cannot even fathom how my Brothers and Sisters that are hurting from Combat and possibly disabilities are enduring. Too many of us can no longer endure or just give in for a fraction of a moment... all to a tragic end. If you see this comment and are not a Veteran but are able to, please Pay it forward for their service to protect you and help them anyway you can. If you are a Veteran, keep helping your Brothers and Sisters as you can. If you are a GOV official, help pull heads out of dark caves and try to get something in place to help and if you dont, you are just a tumor causing helping to cause the issue or numb those around it. To many lives have been lost from doing nothing.

    Rosalie, first of all, have a good and fine 2023!
    Always like your comments, very fitting to the music and the vocals.
    This is a very emotional song for many people, even those who didn't serve their country.
    I have been in the military in The Netherlands and worked as a psychiatric nurse there.
    That time there was a big conflict in the Lebanon and I've seen some young guys (serving as a Blue Helmet) as we called them. Coming back from service, completely broken and needed treatment for PTSD.
    This song however gives me tears every time I hear it, but also angers me very much.
    How in effing world is it possible the government of a country, so rich and strong and supposedly advanced as the USA, is capable to let them guys rot and do nothing to help them.
    It sometimes seems as if they (governmental nono's) don't care what is to become of the poor guys, while they sent them to conflict areas.
    Shame, massive shame on those who just look away as if nothing is wrong.
    By the way, it's special that God is referred as a she and the devil as a he.
    Greeting from The Netherlands.

      I agree. Very sad indeed.
      I noticed the “she” reference and forgot to comment on it but found it interesting too.

      Oh we are hideously advanced in military tech, the reason why more isn’t done, os the cost of advancement and technology and remaining the sole super power. So no one can oppose us, militarily. That’s why, we spend as is $700- a bit more, billion dollars a year on defense/military. Most goes to base maintenance, maintenance of current equipment and R&D, getting new stuff, like the B-21 raider, etc, and things you never dreamed of. Is that always right? Not at all, but is how it goes. How you stay on top. Former cog here in the machine. USMC vet, 2005-2010. Iraq twice. Helmand province in Afghanistan once, can be. Was messed up at times, discounting the rest as a whole. It’s the price of being on top, sure I got some problems, but have paid and would pay the price again, if needed.

    This was really difficult to watch, but thank you Rosalie. I grew up as an Air Force brat, joined and served in the early 80s, so the military is a huge part of me. I was aware of the difficulties that veterans are faced with, but having the numbers in your face was really disturbing. I have always thought that if you put your life on the line for your country...your country owes you for life. A veteran should never be hungry, never lack shelter, never lack physical or mental care. To those veterans who saw combat, I know I will never really understand what you went through, but you really are heroes and deserve so much more. To the friends and families of those who didn't return or were lost due to the struggle after returning, the best i can do is say I am sorry and thank you for your sacrifices. I know it is not enough, but I hope is helpful in some small way.
    @Rosalie Elliot I love your channel and thank you for having the courage to react to this and draw attention. Thank you!!
    I realize my comments are not really about the music, but I felt that I needed to speak up about the bigger picture.

    Unfortunately this is an worldwide issue, it’s very wrong that people who have put their lives on the line are not looked after when it’s needed. My father was one such person, he served in the Navy in WW2 onboard a Destroyer that went into engagement with a well known German battleship. He was retired out due to an injury to his legs from shrapnel and was basically left in poverty with no proper support. It was just unfair that people who this happens to don’t get proper help then!
    Sorry for a bit of a rant but it had a huge effect on my life, I ended up being brought up by my grandparents because they had me and couldn’t afford to keep me!
    It was a great track that I hadn’t heard and you reaction was first class 🤗🤗🤗

    This band also does a cover of an Offspring song "Gone Away" which deals with veterans and survivor's guilt. Survivor's guilt is that often unspoken cause for Veterans on the streets as well as many in our Healthcare system that dealt with the deaths from the epidemic.

    Thank you for reacting to this video. I wish everyone in the world could see this video. It is so powerful and so important. Wonderful reaction to it. Without getting political, you shared just a few of the many different problems connected with just this issue. The problem is that the people who can make a massive difference cling to one viewpoint, of one of the issues, and uses it to gain power, not to truly help the situation and solve the problem.

    First time watcher, enjoyed listening to your commentary, pretty accurate which was pleasant to hear. A good example of one country being peaceful is Tibet, which is still under Chinese control. The Dalai Lama has never seen home since the age of 15. Like you said, it is unfortunate, but a very needed thing... the military.

    First time here and glad to see so much support for veterans! FFDP is a great band with loads of message in their music, so definitely keep listening!
    Having looked through some of your previous reactions, most notable NF and Tom MacDonald, and you are trying to branch out more with Metal music, I would suggest giving Falling in Reverse a listen to. Do Zombified first and then Popular Monster for a good introductory to the band that has quite literally changed my music outlook within the last year!
    I will be searching through your reactions to see what else you have going on in here, but based off of this reaction, I’d say keep it up!

    Another melodic type of metal band to check out would be Unleash The Archers! They're a fantastic band with a female singer who has a crazy range, able to belt high notes, and they even sound great live. Their albums tell a story as a whole, if you dive deep into their albums. She (the singer) and the drummer just had a baby and the band is recording for the newest album. They also play DnD together haha

    As a combat Veteran. Having 3 of my brothers fall to combat and 7 when we got home. Its difficult a lot of days for me. I have a hard time just opening up and talking to other people. Even when I'm at work I keep to myself like I'm scared to let people in but when I do kind of open up and answer questions people don't know what to think. It is so hard not to break down or tear i up when I talk about some of the things I've been through. Thank you for playing this and helping get this information out there

I praise our military for doing things and accomplishing missions I couldn’t even begin to believe I could do

    Check out 'Blue on Black'. It's a cover that was an original from Kenny Wayne Shepard from 1997. FFDP does 2 of them. One with just them, and then a collaboration they did with Brantley Gilbert, Kenny and Brian May of Queen. They used to support the Gary Sinise Foundation. Good stuff there.

    Many in my extended family have served in the military. I have friends who I have cried with because another person they served with committed suicide. They don't decide where they go to serve, so lets lay that blame where it belongs, with the ppl who decide where they go. Regardless of what you think of war support the troops. SHARE THIS VIDEO.
