At some point, we just have to accept that we are only leftover NPCs from this guy's main story
dude was playing Assassins Creed.
@@himmelblau2126 Or he was starring in his own prequel of the Mechanic. Lordy have mercy.
pfft. guy was a useless lush for the first few decades of his life. then he gets shot every time and spends most of the remaining time in hospital. the only period of his life that was filled with courage and determination would be ww1. then after that back to being a lush, and prisoner. i tell you, all you need is to be known by the elites to and smooj your way into luxury. unearned and uninteresting. however, as a whole, his life was not uneventful... and worth a few minutes of my time (i watched at triple speed). yeah, thats right, if i'm not going to worship gods, you can bet your arse i'm not going to 'ooh and ah' over a person, especially when most of their life is spent so idly.
Yeah you seem happy and accomplished. Good for you. But why that rant?
@@nooper007 haha. too much faux accomplishment claims in real life, causing too much suffering and destruction. sometimes i just, unfairly i'm sure, feel like laying into some poor innocent commenter whose just trying to make a joke. youtube is a dangerous ground, don't you know :)
If the only thing you can find to complain about is an AI thumbnail, Id say Thoughty2 is a big success.
What's so wrong about the thumbnails? They're not bad
Ah so that's what these thumbnails are, I thought 42 had started using an artist or something like that for his thumbnails. I love his videos though!
@@CD-lx6sc Nah, just AI thumbnails. This one isn't half bad but others he used are terrible.
@@soundscape26 ah ic ic, good to know, I'm way behind the times.
This particular thumbnail wouldn't be particularly complicated to make without AI though, it's VERY basic. And T2 already uses art in his videos, I don't think it would harm it for the thumbnails to also be done by a person. Heck, it's so simple, he could do it himself with a few license free stock photos and a copy of GIMP2 (I say this in part because GIMP2 costs nothing). Heck, I'm sure there's editing software on phones that could pull this off.
Frankly, if you gotta choose between a glass eye and a patch, go with the patch.
Unlike glass eyes, patches don't go wonky, and the pirate look never fully dies
Chicks dig scars and glory lasts forever!
@@dansullivan8968 depends. Burn scars can get hard to stomach

Been a long 3 weeks waiting for you mustache man
I think he’s just man now
@@deez0690I think of someone else when someone says “mustache man” lol
Yeah why is he taking so long now? What’s happening?
And is he dropping on Patreon at least?
@@RedYankee45that's the little moustached Austrian
@@RedYankee45 if you lived in baltimore, you'd think of someone else, thats on the watertower (used to be anyway)
Telling off Mao Zedong is what made me a fan the most, out of the 20 awesome things he did in his life!
What a legend
Yes that was crazy how he pulled that one off I loved this story and happy I saw this.
A life well lived
Assuming it ever happened. What are the sources for all of these thing, his autobiography? I think these stories are about half true. But if your plane does an emergency landing on the beach, why not tell people you crashed in the ocean and swam two miles to shore with one arm, dragging two unconscious companions with your teeth.
@@BrettonFerguson Then why do you watch there are many UA-cam channels to choose
I knew of this guy but this is the first big summation i have seen. If you wrote a script based on this guy, it would be rejected for being too implausible.
The movie about Audie Murphy (starring Audie Murphy) was toned down for that reason.
Yeah lmao.
If someone made a character like him, it would be considered bad writing with FAR too much backtsory and yet he existed.
Into the fire through trenches and mud
Son of Belgium and Ireland with war in his blood
Leading the charge into hostile barrage
By design, he was made for the frontline
STUDIED LAW WITH A THIRST FOR WAR
Fought in Africa, wanted more
how they try
shot through the eye
never surrender however they try
how they try
shot through they eye
he'll never die
Sabaton squad, I was hoping that someone will quote thos songs and you delivered
Came here looking for this
He's 1 of the 2 most interesting people I've ever heard about. The other was Cristopher Lee (the same bloke who played Dracula a load of times & Count Dooku) who was a Nazi-hunter in the precursor to the SAS & had a heavy metal band when he was at least 80. You should do a video about him.
A fellow Count Dankula fan, I see?
Sauron?
@@Slowp0w Saruman.
And he also witnessed the last ever public execution by guillotine in France in 1939 I think. Just a little bit more pointless info for you 😂
The Most Interesting Man in the World didn't always play a Redshirt on Star Trek, but when he did he lived through the whole episode...
That's a main character if I have ever seen one 😎
He's not human... he's a CARTOON!!!!!!
My great uncle lost his eye in ww2 driving an officer in a Jeep. They took a mortar round and flipped... the officer didnt make it and Bill lost his eye. When I was about 5, I met him. Not knowing the story, i asked him why he always kept one eye closed. He said, "I sleep in this eye half the day and switch the second half. That way i can stay up all the time." I tried to do that for a long time before asking my dad how uncle Bill did that. He just laughed and then proceeded to tell me the real story. I met the man once, at 5 years old, and I will remember him forever. Legend.
These videos are fantastic. Where on earth do you find these wonderful stories. You definitely have a talent for telling them. Great job as always. Thank you for sharing them wight us.
After all that, I'm not convinced that he's dead now
'es just pinin' for the fjords!
And we all think of General George Patton as a badass. General De Wiart makes him look and seem like a baby kitten. Can’t imagine going through those injuries and still wanting to fight.
Sabaton's "The Unkillable Soldier" is about him. It's a really good song. I'd say one of their best, but they just don't miss a single song! Every one is 'their best'.
Right? Plus, a glass eye made back in 1919 probably didn't fit very well and was super uncomfortable!
@@TheStrykerProject You'd be surprised. Glass eyes have been made for a couple hundred years. Prosthetics in general have been made for thousands of years. I'm sure it fit pretty well, might not have been perfectly comfortable, but probably looked pretty good. But, an eye patch is WAY cooler!
@@zackmarkham4240 Hmm...quite so. If I were to have a glass eye, it'd have to be like Mad-eye Moody's, though.
@@TheStrykerProject Glow-In-The-Dark reptilian, purple. Purple is my fave color, I have a pet leopard gecko, and I love reptiles in general.
@@zackmarkham4240 Nice!!
plot armor ngl
fr
Big Boss gotta have a backstory.
I wonder how old he was when he realized he had plot armor and knew he would survive every battle
nah just them belgian genes 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🍺🍺🍟
@@molratah those Belgian genes of letting your Country turn into Africa
Been 3 weeks. Hope all's well thoughty2.
I feel like we should get an explanation video as to where his tash has gone
Huh?
Hasn't had one for ages.
He didn’t have one in any of his early videos either. Nor the suspenders
lost in battle
As a child, I had hoped for an interesting life. At 41 I feel like I’ve done well in that regard. From stealing a truck and driving to Mexico, to living in the jungle mountains of Haiti, studying art in Paris, working a classified job with nuclear weapons, getting a pilot license and now living in a war zone, I’ve seen quite a lot. I’ve lived in five countries and eight of the US states, been married twice, and traveled the world. You only get one life, have a blast.
Just become a gold hungry pirate with your experience sir.
You're ALIVE?!!!!!!!!!
You have no idea how much I've missed this channel and your wink❤️
he uploads shorts regularly
@@okidoke4822 yeah I checked but for some reason I didn't get any notifications from this channel for a long time even tho I have the bell notifications turned on.
@@YOURBAEQUIN What about the subscriptions tab?
You have outdone yourself in your clever and intricate narration. Thank you for this fascinating (and well told) tale of the undying soldier!
5:10 If you've never heard of the English public school boy game 'Soggy biscuit' under NO circumstances should you google it. Especially if you're eating. Don't say I didn't warn you!😁🤢🤮🤮🤮
This is (alleged) the sort of Thing Boris Johnson, David Cameron and Nigel Farage used to get up to at expensive public* schools Eton & Dulwich College. Which explains a lot.🤔😐
*For any non-Brits public' schools are expensive private schools. NOT state schools.
They're called public schools because these early schools were set up by members of the public, not the government, long before education was compulsory and when usually it was only available to the children of the rich.
South African private schools called it "Soggy Marie" after the Marie biscuit....
Same rules applied if I'm not mistaken..
It's also a prison activity in some places. This alone is a reason never to land there 😂
It’s a myth. Plenty of disgusting things have been perpetrated by bored British public school students, but not this.
I have to Google it now!
As someone who went to a boarding school, I can confirm that this was as much of a myth to boarders as it is to the rest of the public. Aso, people who go to boarding schools are **shocking** normal, not depraved deviants, as you seem to think 😝😝
I basically, by accident, created a character with pretty much the same injuries he obtained back in the days. I patched him up with magic for the present time, but still thought of nerfing him because i thought it might be a little too far fetched that he survived at all to be there for the story events. Then I found Sabaton's Unkillabe Soldier song and now ma boy stays the way he is :D
Now this would be an action movie that needs 3 hours !
NO, it should be a ten episodes series! I'd binge watch it!
'Sitting on the sofa in your pants watching gardeners world' I feel personally attacked.
Glad I’m not the only one
I'd be a bit concerned if my neighbours were sitting on my sofa watching "Gardeners' World" sans pants.
If I may be so bold as to offer you a soldier from lets say 250 years ago who was pretty unkillable and she was a female soldier.
Marie-Therese Figueur. She served in the French Revolutionary Army and The Grand Armee for 22 years. She was known as
an extremely tough woman and despite being wounded several times and having several horses shot out from under her she
went on to live a long life. Lets not forget being take prisoner of war a few times.An incredible lady who is often overlooked
when it comes to great warriors.
Also, before his retirement in Ireland:
"En route home via French Indochina, Carton de Wiart stopped in Rangoon
as a guest of the army commander. Coming down stairs, he slipped on
coconut matting, fell down, broke several vertebrae, and knocked himself
unconscious. He was admitted to Rangoon Hospital where he was treated."
Dude! Someone stole your mustache!
They do that once in awhile 😃
@johnjackson8709 is there a reward for it's return?
@@davidlancaster8152 not sure but he always seems to get it back
@@johnjackson8709 must be scent dogs...blood hounds! Tally ho!
Mumbo Jumbo
I love the storytelling every time
I just read that not only did he get the most highest award for the British military he also got the highest award of the French and Polish militaries what a hero.
I have never in my life heard of an easier box office layup than making a movie about this guy
Thoughty2 without the 'stache and the suspenders... CERN anybody?
Hearing about these heroes is absolute badasses of history is what I come on this channel for because what you cover isn't anything like anything I've ever seen
Finally! After 3 weeks of waiting for a new video, you have posted another! Not to mention, it is about history, which is my favorite topic. Thank you so very much, Arran.
Anyway, I thought something bad had happened to you during those 3 weeks of waiting, since there was no new video. Thank goodness I was wrong. Take care. Keep up the great work.
Ive been watching your videos for years now... And Ive always liked the dry humor in them. But this one had me cracking up more than usual. Love your videos, you do good work.✌😎
Only Aran could put out a video good enough to make a week’s work of delirium tremens, mad hallucinations and soaked bed sheets well worth the wait. What a story! Thank you sir 🫡
the AI thumbnail is FOUL
A lot of thumbnails are ai now sadly
Your own profile picture is AI generated.
Get over it..
Go away….this is patently irrelevant. Some d level animator won’t improve anything.
22rom27 - shut up. Stop crying!
what a fabulous topic to talk about. great Channel !
As always, very interesting and very well told and shown. Thank you very much!
Screw 'Saving Private Ryan'..this is the war movie the world deserves
Bro is literally big boss
Am I the only one who enjoyed it more when we got weekly videos and less shorts vs monthly videos and basically daily shorts
@Thoughty its been sad not seeing you post as much latley, hopefully everything is well in your daily life.
(Also, it doesn't really bother me what thumbnails you choose to use, im here for the videos) 👍🏼
What if....all of these "people" complaining about AI thumbnails. Are actually AI trying to annoy people. Tricking real humans into defending AI thumbnails therefore embedding the first seeds of trust for AI in humans 👀
Now that you bring it up, I'm sure both sides of the argument are AI lol
Great story. Well told. I've followed you for years and enjoyed the steady quality increase of your work.
Excellent video, Arran!! You never disappoint & you've even outdone yourself with this one! And you're right -- Until you shared this incredible man's story, I had never heard of him. Your research & hard work is deeply appreciated. Thank-You!!
Plot armor in real life.
Sabaton did a song about him
OMG Yes :D
I was looking for this comment. Didn´t have to scroll for long.
That is as metal as it gets 😂
Bro you deserve a channel on the tele. I’ve been following you with every account, new phone, etc for about 5years now. Never gets old. definitely amazing content
Your graphics are among the best! Thank you Thoughty2 for all the great stories. 😊
5:11 we know all about soggy biscuit in America too
Does Limp Bizkit have any connection with this?
Wow at last, a video that's longer than 4 seconds. I'm sure it'll be good...let me watch it. It's been weeks and weeks since a full length vid so I wonder what the issue was, Maybe vacation. Will there be another in a week's time? Another long video i mean. One hopes such will be the case. Now it's time to prepare my spicy noodles and settle down to watch the Thoughty2 treat. ...........I have seen it..what an amazing guy that soldier, certainly a war junkie but a fascinating and brave man. Very interesting and indeed I have learned something. Keep these longer videos coming please. I beg. Maybe we should all become patreons. I will consider. Well done and release another one in a week from now. Thanks.
Are you good dude, wtf was this?
@@TrentonCSI'd presume it's a translator, but one might beg to differ. Regards comrade, for whatever it was, it had been worth the read.
@@almogxchq5282 i dont think so. Its good english but what in the fk is that, he did a before and after he watched it and everything
Is this a journal entry?
So good to watch your videos again. I was missing them a lot. Hope you had a nice and relaxing holiday)
The "Mambo no5" jibe made me proper chuckle 😂
Yeesh and I thought having 4 names was insane.🤣
Get over the fact he chooses his own thumbnails. They aren’t obscene. You don’t watch the thumbnail. You click his videos because of the title and because he made the video. You only see the thumbnail for a few seconds at most prior to watching the video. Grow up!
Yea for real. How petty can people get
Thank you so much for the hard work you obviously put into these videos!
You tell it all so well!! Sure do enjoy your story telling, and tge style is so entertaining! Thanks, I really loved this one.
Seriously mate, your content is excellent but the AI thumbnails you've started using make your channel look like cheap bot clickbait
I disagree
Right?😢
i couldnt even tell they were ai compared to what hes been using for ages lmao. i swear some people now attribute everything they dont like to ai
@@WillVroono, that’s not it, not in this case. This was no attack, it’s constructive criticism from a fan and you guys freak out. You know nothing has to change right? It’s a suggestion.
Agreed. I haven't been able to finish the last 3 vids because of the irritating animations. And that's a shame, because I've thoroughly enjoyed this channel for years.
L A.I thumbnail
And tha people agree
Cut it out
No one of significance agrees. Bye, bye now!
Amazing life. Great vid. After watching I was going to suggest you do a video about Jack Churchill but wanting to confirm you had not already covered him I was pleasantly surprised you already did.
Always interesting and informative, love your channel.
Wow look at all these whiners in the comments.
I love your content. But i feel like you should stop with the AI images and put the actual historical images like you used to do before
Was his mustache AI?
Such a crybaby mentality right there..
"uhh an image done by ai hurts my fragile feeling, it ruins my life completely" LMAO pathetic af
Sane person will come for the content not for staring at thumbnail.
Perhaps you should leave the pathetic complaining in the past.
Always glad when I see a new video get posted on my feed 👍
Happy to see your new video 🥰 I love the way you tell the stories ☺️
People complaining about AI thumbnails - stop.
Right? ‘I’m unsubscribing because I don’t like your AI thumbnail!’ LOL wow
Then one dude complaining has videos like this on his channel
ua-cam.com/video/ZVA6wvDZgA0/v-deo.htmlsi=-L_XJz7wkaF8rJBj
And THIS ISNT UNSETTLING??? Lmao
Just petty AF
People supporting AI - STOP!
creepy ass AI thumbnail. How cheap do you have to be to use that xD
It’s his choice. Don’t look at the thumbnail if you don’t like it. How immature do you have to be to nitpick over something so inconsequential?
Glad to see all is well. Was starting to think something happened with the less frequent videos
I recommend his autobiography "Happy Odyssey". There is an entire chapter devoted to the customs of the aristocratic social circles he revolved in during his stay in Poland.
A favorite of mine.
Brother, I have supported you for many, MANY years.. I even bought your book.
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, please stop using these low quality AI thumbnails. This one in particular almost makes me want to unsubscribe because I think it reflects a lot more about the channel than you might think.
You just keep redoing videos that you have already done and changing the title
Please provide an example
@@mato7740he won’t.
I love the longer format! Great video
Another man that ended up losing his eye at war but refusing to go back home and finally ended up having the most unbelievable soldier career is *Leo Major* .
I like your videos, but could you stop using the ai thumbnails
No. Now stop complaining. Seriously. You come off as pathetic.
Aww, did the big mean thumbnail hurt you??? 🙃
Maybe leave the video thumbnails to the people with over a million subs... would you suggest he hand draws them for you?
Or you could just grew up and stop bitching
The content should matter more than the thumbnail. I don't even take in the thumbnails I just click once I see a new Thoughty2
There's nothing more off-putting than an AI generated thumbnail. Seriously, AI is great for many things, but creative endeavors are ALWAYS better without AI.
Love your work, Arran! I've read your book and found it great fun, and your stories are riveting. Keep up the wonderful videos!
If you made a movie about him, it would have to continiously show the text: "Yes, this actually happened"
Hey! Love your videos.
Not seeing as much of you as of late.
I hope you're doing and keeping well!
If you're not, there's people all over that you can reach out to!
Hoping these amazing videos continue!
Keep up the always, amazing work!
Very interesting Aran, I like your style. One little detail about about Carton de Wiart's career that you missed out was his brief involvement in the Israeli War of Independence. He was literally just passing through the area when he went ashore with a borrowed rifle and did some sniping on the front line . . .
About time you uploaded a new video 42 been age's waiting ☺️ Keep up the good work 👏
I very much prefer these full length videos. This is one of my favorites so far. God bless
Where you been dude I ain't seen a new vid of yours for ages, good to see you're still alive and kicking 😂
Sabaton made me share this mans legend with my whole country while driving.
Great video! Thank you for the great effort you've put into it!
Dude, absolutely love your channel. Always looking forward to a great story. Keep it up
I am so happy when I see a story on UA-cam about something or someone I never knew about. Not the same regurgitated stories that sites flood with and copy. Great story Thoughty2. I will remember this and his name!
Chuck Norris has been real quiet since this dropped.
I love these long videos lately, keep them coming
utterly insane around the escape part
Fantastic video...your work is brilliant..thanks
Very good episode! Always enjoy your content! Keep it up
I really do love your content, and happy that you make it. Thank you 36:46
Amazing story! Never heard of him, and i thought I knew a thing or two about history. Cheers Thoughty2
Nicely done. Actually very good. One of your best. Thanks. Poulsbo, Washington
Yay! A full video and not a short!!
Great as always. Think they also featured him on Simple History but not with the same amount of detail. That said I would have liked a bit more info on how and when he got his VC.
Love your work lad long time follower
I'm loving the thumbnails, it's what caught my attention along side it being a thoughty2 video
Finally been waiting so long for this vidoe
