I’m a Veteran, Army 5 years active duty with 2 deployments. This one hits hard and is a great depiction of both the honor and horror of being a soldier on and off the battlefield.
Five Finger Death Punch did a tremendous job with this song and video. More people need to watch this and understand what our soldiers deal with. God bless you Michael and thanks for serving our country brother
I am a combat veteran ( AMERICAN ) I just was reading that allied veterans from the last wars we Faught together are killing themselves also . Thank you for the good you have just done and may God bless both of you for the rest of your lives
Five Finger Death Punch did a great job with this song and video. Alot people don't realize what are soldiers go through and the sacrifices they do for country.
Great reaction you two. I love seeing girls who are so empathetic towards the issues stated in this song. It is truly a blessing knowing that there is a couple out there that shows their true emotions and doesn’t hide their feelings. Jasmine you are a truly beautiful, empathetic, caring young woman, don’t ever change. Loved the reaction, keep it up you two ❤️🙂
5:17 the black says "you know me. You saved my life brother" then picks him up, the exact same way one would pick up a wounded soldier. Yes, he was wounded when it showed him getting shot. But not all wounds are visible. One 30 second part of the video says so, so much.
service connected disabled veteran here too every time the song comes up, I hit it, and share it a permanent solution to a seemingly unbeatable problem, isnt a solution. Its temporary, WE are stronger. and any vet who claims they dont wonder what a 1911 or m9 or 226 tastes like... is a liar, and its okay ❤
It's not only trauma. These people are thought to be disciplined and to do whatever they're told, to the point that getting a task to do, to complete alone or with your company, brings you purpose. When they're veterans, they lose that purpose. There is no one telling them to do anything, leaving them feeling lost. And yes, there's also the trauma of losing men and survivor's guilt. It's a whole package that is not being supported enough by governments. This song deserves at least 3 listens to fully grasp. 1 for the tekst 2 for the video 3 for the song I love this band. In my opinion, they aren't getting enough attention from UA-cam reactors. This song is an outlier, along with the song "Gone Away," which do get some reactions. Other than that, they have so many other awesome songs that I never see anyone reacting to.
I’m a lucky one as a son of a 20year Canadian veteran. My family is still together and never homeless. My dad served in Bosnia in 93 and came back with PTSD. Suffered alone until 2007 as it wasn’t recognized as something wrong in 93. When you hear your mom say “The man that left didn’t return” it hits you like a Mack truck. My dad’s been getting better thankfully but mental health stuff is so hard.
As a U.S. Army veteran let me say thank you for reacting to this. Please react to another song of theirs Gone Away. Keep in mind this powerful video was released 9 years ago. Those statistics have only gotten worse, for example the video states there was 1 suicide every 2 hours which equates to 12 suicides per day in 2013 when the video was released. That number is now 22 suicides per day.
This song is such a classic - one I've played so many times - still upsets me to watch to be honest, even now, watching it again after quite a long time. Cheers for the reaction guys.
I really love this song. I didn't know that it was about the American veterans though. Both the music and lyrics are very powerful, and they can apply to many situations. Life can be a struggle and none of us are really heroes. We're not made of stone, but we do our best to stay strong and fight for ourselves and for others.
Another song that’s worth listening to is I Was Only 19! Originally done by Redgum & the remake by The Herd. Different takes on the same song but both amazing in their own right!
Such an amazing song brings a tear to my every time I watch it I'll who am I kidding I'm over here crying lol so sad to see the thing of it is what civilian is actually going to know how to help a veteran as a civilian you can be nice to them you can do everything that you can to help them but only a veteran can help a veteran because they know they've been there and went through that flashbacks are terrible yeah kind of hard to understand if you've never had them
Twenty two veterans take their own lives every day. That’s twenty two too many. To all past and present military service members, thank you for your service.
Excellent reaction this song hits hard so sad how veterans are treated but listen to it again without reading the song is killer they also did a remake of The Off Spring’s song called Gone Away it hits hard also worth a listen to later my friends.❤️😎🇺🇸
I’m an old Submariner who’s 1st command did almost all SpecOps, I got on board her in ‘79 and there we many a time we almost didn’t make it home, and the problem with that….it’s we all make it back to the surface or home port or we all don’t. I served from 78 to 91 and was homeless for a time….not fun.
This actually is a big thing now. They have done a lot of new programs and expanded the VA. In order to take care of soldiers like this. No, they do not capture them all, but they have put a lot of money into trying to get better at diagnosing these soldiers and getting them the help they need
The average number of Veteran suicides per day rose from 16.4 in 2001 to 16.8 in 2020. It was highest in 2018 (18.6 per day). Of the on average 16.8 Veteran suicides per day in 2020, approximately 39.7% (6.7 per day) were among Recent Veteran VHA Users16 and 60.3% (10.1 per day) were among Other Veteran
If u guys liked Five Finger Death Punch and the message and subject matter they are talking about within this song, i highly recommend checking out Sabaton, all there songs are about specific military historical events or the individual incredible stories of people that don't get told enough
Most of the money in the Defense budget goes to Corporations of the Military Industrial Complex that makes the weapons, vehicles,aircraft’s, ships and other supplies that make the rich shareholders richer and the actual soldiers are left with the scraps which is why other organizations have to help veterans
Мой отец год воевал в афганистане с 80х у него пулевые ранения о осколки от гранаты на которой его подорвали удалили в 2014 году. Он их больше 30 лет носил.
Well. Done! Any student of history will recognize this reality. I am still actively walking the homeless camps. Looking for vets, and helping All in need. If we, the US veterans, can not care for our brothers and sisters at home like we did downrange, WE are failing ouselves. Period. Full stop. Really nice react. Please continue! Cheers rl 🤘👹🤘
England is the mother country As a Polish Jew I should run and hide. No.. was on a church/Jewish group In NY when 911 happened. Went on 3 tours and just came back from Ukraine. I'm not sorry I have seen things. But I can love you from across the pond

Thank you for your service!!!
@@michaelwalsh7359 and your not homeless, some or most homeless chose to not care. Just saying
Five Finger Death Punch did a tremendous job with this song and video. More people need to watch this and understand what our soldiers deal with. God bless you Michael and thanks for serving our country brother
Absolutely get you. Please, step up and be part of the solution!
If WE don't, who will..?
@shannonherb2048 super shallow analysis. Do better! Step up. Or be more quiet. Tell me where I'm wrong...
Thanks for reacting to this video. The more people who see it, the more help veterans can get.
I've watched over 50 reactions to this song and every single time I'm brought to tears.

"Is this going to make me cry" Much of my family are veterans including my brother, it's a shame how our system has failed our brave warriors.

I did tours in Persian gulf,somilia,khandahar in 92-2000 PTSD is bad and real for sure makes me think back when I hear this keep it up you two and ty
Love this band. Got to meet the bass player. He is from the same town as me

Remember how old this song and those statistics are. Those numbers have risen significantly.

As someone who served and still serving thx for watching this
stay safe
best advice given to me - two ears, one mouth, listen at least 2x as much as you speak.
gets me every time
Twenty two veterans take their own lives every day. That’s twenty two too many. To all past and present military service members, thank you for your service.
Thank you for allowing the end credits roll. I hope it helps these warriors. one of my biggest fears is the day I retire.

Gone away is a great song, very emotional. Wash it all away is a more upbeat song. Jeckyl and Hyde is fun
This video gets me every time.
Gone Away ❤🎉

Just like the sandwich of death from the regular show
thanks for the reaction
Thank you for letting it play out. Too many people don't.
Well. Done!

Gone Away is a great song by FDP. should check it out

it's EXACT how it is: wrong side of heaven righeous side of hell
Check out gone away by them it’s also a good one
you seem like nice Kids....... you ill weep. I do every time I watch
You should react to more Linkin Park, especially songs like from the inside,liyng from you
If you watch this and don't feel anything, you didn't pay attention
England is the mother country
As a Polish Jew I should run and hide. No.. was on a church/Jewish group In NY when 911 happened. Went on 3 tours and just came back from Ukraine. I'm not sorry I have seen things. But I can love you from across the pond
🤘🏼🤘🏼🪖🤘🏼🤘🏼
are you guys going to be reacting to sleep token every Wednesday ?
We’re expected to give everything, for what? Just to be discarded like an empty mag.
lets hope dictator Putin doesn't take over all of Europe! This is why we must help Ukraine.
1 fact interesting.... All the actors in this video are real veterans.....
