It's fucking wild that they actually toned the movie down because Doss was even MORE badass irl.
I remember reading about him in the book “medal of honor heroes” (i can’t remember the exact title) and damn his story was absolutely wild in theatre. God was truly watching over that man
They had to do it cos people wouldn’t believe it and say oh it’s Hollywood bs magic
Doss had God on his side so he could do anything. Doss was an absolute hero through and through ❤
Yeah they did that with Audey Murphy as well and it still took a movie like Jaws to outdo his movie in sales at the time.
@@kitfisto1847 you listen to “to hell and back” by sabaton? Pretty good song for Murphy
Andrew Garfield should’ve won an Oscar for this role. Hands down.
Desmond Doss was actually in the war hero handbook that was handed out to every trainee at basic. This was fort benning in 2019.
you still have it?
@@josiahtitus Unfortunately no. But what’s interesting is they tell us not to be heroes but they give us the war hero handbook
The blue book?
@@CowboysCreed that sounds familiar
@@attriter
I'm pretty sure I know why. They want heroism to come of its own accord, organically. Because if a soldier goes fishing for citations he might get himself or his buddies smoked and dead.
So they're giving you an example to think about in between learning to obey orders and follow your seniors. I'm no soldier myself, but that's what I would do if I were training new recruits.
I was actually surprised you didn't call attention to Doss' CMoH Citation, because you would see that he performed so many heroic acts over and over again. For instance, in the scene where he was being carried on a litter due to grenade injuries to his legs, he insisted that his litter bearers leave him behind to take another injured fighter to the aid station. During that time, there was a tank attack, and while he was assisting the injured, he was wounded again, now with a broken arm. After tending to the other wounded, he dealt with his own injuries, used an abandoned rifle stock as a splint, and crawled more than 100 yards under fire to the aid station. Oh, and during that time, he had tuberculosis, which caused him to later lose a lung. During the excarpment saves, Doss guessed he lowered about 50 people, but multiple witnesses claimed he lowered over 100 wounded men, so they "settled" at 50.
75. But yeah he was so badass and movie is in my top 3
Us Seventh Day Adventists are Out of this World awesome. We are different than anything you ever will find. Totally badass but in a Godly way. You will likely never meet cooler people than those in the Seventh Day Adventist faith
Hacksaw Ridge is easily one of my all time favorite war films ever made. It’s violent and graphic and depicts war realistically and doesn’t sugar coat things either way. I love this film. Lol
@MyFaceIsYourToilet😮🤤 ?
@TopG371 The fuck? Absolutely not, how do they portray him as an SJW?
@TopG371 God forbids someone being a caring person in your world.
My top 5
A belt did saved my life 30 years ago by a tow truck driver who happed to have a military belt on him . I was ambushed by a gang on patrol and the officers at the scene just froze. So yes that belt did it’s job well enough for me to text this today . Great job brothers . Trooper JB ((ret)
Shhhiiieeet
I do appreciate the day and age we are in where you can buy a box of tourniquets if so desired. We waste so much money in our lives I'm not sure why they along with chest seals are not a common household first aid kit staple. If every home and car had them I can only imagine what that would do for the modern mortality statistics
Best line in the whole movie that gets me cracking every time:
“The Army doesn’t make mistakes”!
Even Mel givson said, He knew everyone was going to think the movie was going to be so fictitious that no one was going to believe it really happened. He also added, that the truth was that Doss did so many heroic things that they had to leave them out of the movie. In fact you can search his own story from his own lips here on youtube. I recomend it. I love that this channel takes the time to give honor to the greatest generation. Thank you.
I love that he stood by his beliefs. That took balls, when so many were after you for it. Let alone what he did during the war. Legend. Much respect Sir.
So True, my father was a corpsman during WWII..he had multiple purple hearts and marines visited him when I was growing up; It wasn't until years later when he signed off on me joining the Army and told my mother.."Let him earn his spurs." I went off to enlist as a 17 year old and double volunteer in airborne and serve in Desert Storm..when I came back..my mother didn't understand me and my father was just like yeah...that's what happens in war.
I met Desmond Doss at an adventist church when i was dating my (now) husband. He is an Adventist hero. He told stories and toured the SDA churches. He was an impressive man. I would've taken the gun.
It’s amazing how this movie transitions from an hour long drama to a gory, horror-like war film in a matter of minutes.
That's Mel Gibson for you.
If you ever watch the documentary, there's a Japanese soldier who had Doss in his sights and pulled the trigger but the rifle malfunctioned.
I didn’t go through all the comments, but it’s important to remember that absolutely and categorically Doss’s actions were driven by his faith in the God he knows exists. The Bible clearly teaches that “there is a time to kill“. The sixth commandment means you shall not murder though it is often translated simply as kill. That certainly does not reduce any of my incredible respect and amazement at his deeds and resolve to follow his convictions. His book was one of the first books I had my oldest daughter read back in the 90s.
Appreciate you guys.
Let me know if you guys are ever in the Houston area and I can put you up. I believe we would have some stories to share and to do a little hand to hand training. I have some sons and daughters that live in town as well. Godspeed
The reason he would not take up a gun was not just his religious beliefs but because he made a promise to God he never would.
@@ronniemaclaine5234 I understand what you’re saying, but even a promise is a Religious/Christian concept. If Desmond wasn’t a Christian in real life, this True story movie would never have been.
Bruh, I saw this in theaters, and that part where they first get up the cliff and are encroaching towards the enemy where the unconscious guy jumps up screaming bloody murder scaring the other soldier before getting shot up freaked the hell out of me. They wanted maximum shock factor for the first battle, and they achieved it.
I saw it for the fist time at my home and it still scared the shit out of me.
There's a reason I find Vince Vaughn is actually somewhat true to life. He's not a Drill Sergeant. He's a Veteran Sergeant. He's been recalled from his unit to help train the next wave of its recruits. So he hasn't actually been trained as a drill instructor, he's just bringing his experience and giving them the basic experience of serving under a combat NCO.
I'm sure you're probably aware, but the US Army Drill Sergeant program didn't exist until, I think, about Vietnam. I think it was actually President Kennedy who first instated it. Veteran Sergeants used to be how the Army trained its new guys, but the results that it produced were found to be unreliable. Which is why centrally-trained drill instructors were introduced.
My moms father was in the pacific theater and he never talked about the service. She never watches war movies but I wanted her to see this one, and she loved it. What an awesome guy and crazy story. Rip Desmond Doss.
I have been to hacksaw ridge and in one of the tunnels the room where the commanders killed themselves there is a sign that explains that only the head commander used the sword, the others killed themselves using frag grenades and if you look at the walls parts of the frag are still in the walls. It gives you a real early feeling.
I wanted to share another thank you. To all the cast and crew at FNG.
I served, did my best and unfortunately due to my shit ankles, I couldn't get into SF selection.
I truly look up to you Buck. You're a man of honor, respect, value, compassion, and heart. The things you have been through. Your ability to share it all. I cannot express the amount of respect and gratitude I have for you, as well as Kurt.
You both are incredible people. I wish I could go back and try harder for SF selection. God didn't have it in the cards for me for it in regards to being a Green Beret, but I'll never look at you, Kurt or others without anything but utmost reverie when listening to you.
HOOAH my brother.
Thank you for your service sir.
@kylefam9356 thank you brother. Always appreciated!
thank you bro!
“We won’t get political”
10 minutes in “okay fuck this woke bullshit”
😂😂😂😂😂❤🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🇨🇦🇮🇱🇺🇸
lol I find it amazing how many people fall for this foolish made up explanation a word that always meant you were the opposite of asleep. So it sounds like they're defending the "tough" ones who bully people to the point that the people being bullied go out and kill themselves or go to school or work & take out a bunch of people with them.
being anti-woke is not politics, it's just common sense.
Similar to being anti-commie.
@@adrianalexandrov7730 Unfortunately, the "woke" topic is political. It may not be in the sense you're thinking of, but social politics is politics.
I really enjoy seeing combat vets or serving members give their advise, expertise, and general outlook on topics and sharing it with the world. It's beyond fascinating to know the thought processes, ideals, morals, values, wisdom and experience of military members, because your insight gives understanding to so many others, in a way we rarely would be able to know in any othr format except for the internet.
When, me and my uncle saw this movie. We were in awe and teary eyed the whole time. I'd love to see "Patriots Day" starring Mark Wahlberg. Showing the tragedy of the Marathon Bombing and the heroic first responders. Keep up the great work!
Man the soldiers from WW2 and Vietnam were real men. I served in 2011 to 15 but my service is nothing compared to those guys. The stories from Normandy Beach like how would people live threw that. They did that not for Americans to not live up to our fullest. They did that for us to live and chase our dreams
I don’t know if people tell you guys this enough but you guys are absolutely awesome. I’m not a vet but if I’m having a bad day or dealing with stress I’ll always watch your content and it helps get my mind off all those stressful/bad days. You guys are truly truly helping people including me. So thank you and keep it up!
To me, the best scene was the Doss in the military court. It was what you said to stick with your conviction. As Doss was in front of a General or military judge, he could easily take back what he said, take the rifle, and head to war. But in the monologue, Doss gives why he is willing to serve but not take a rifle. He lost some friends from suicide cause of 4-F, and he could easily, as a civilian, apply conscientious objector war (not easy as you think to acquire). Lastly, he explained why he enlisted in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. His father served in WWI, and Doss saw the effects of war on men. He knows there's nothing he can do about the carnage of war. The best he can do as a medic is to save as many lives as possible and bring them home. He lived up to his conviction in the movie or real life, even intercepting the grenade as it could have killed him, protecting his comrades from harm. As always, Buck keeps Beers and Break Down going; yeah, the censorship sucks, but sometimes you got to play the game. It's possible your Joe Rogan threesome tentacle corn reference got you, but it was hilarious. Movie Request Police Academy movies (you don't have to do all of them).
Thank you all for this. Whenever I face personal adversity and challenge (no matter how painful), I know better men have done much more. This is some of my inspiration to endeavor to persevere and keep my progress to heal / be better. It really reminds me that my challenges and obstacles are really nothing and strengthens me to persist until I can overcome. For this, I am grateful.
During pre-deployment training for Afghanistan in Mississippi, one guy in my platoon made an off-hand remark about hoping to get "someone" in front of his .50 cal on the wheeled gunnery range. He got snapped up and every NCO was there to search his belongings and watch him pack, out-processed him from active-duty that day, then escorted him to the airport and shipped him back home to wait out his contract while we were gone. Got himself an ineligible to re-enlist RE code on his DD-214 too.
With the japanese "not making it", I had a medic who worked with the marines in the war in Iraq as an RDC, and he said that you learn sometimes there's a choice you have to make between helping enemy troops and helping your own, since sometimes you dont have enough supplies for both. You can help them as much as you can, but with a battle like Okinawa, you can't always be sure you will be able to save all your troops if you try to also save the enemies. And i know that there is a hell of a lot of medical supplies that they had, but with the amount of casualties in Okinawa, plus how many more they could have possibly had, you can't be sure.
I love the story of Desmond. I love how the movie ended up. Definitely one of my favorite wwll movies
man, you guys gave me life lessons today. i appreciate it
I think the dad 2as a great character too...he's the perfect opposite to Desmonds spirit, faith and optimism. He went to a largely pointless war, saw his friends die and had his youth and innocence shattered. The expression when thry tell him that only military members are allowed while wearing his uniform and medals...you see the anger and distrust of both the govt and military and how he doesn't want to see his son experience that. I thought it was really powerful.
always look forward to seeing what video reactions you have on Sundays, thanks Buck! keep up the great work 👍
Cheers to both of you men for being brave enough to lay things out as they really are in life, not just military or law enforcement life, but everyday citizen life. I've watched every beers and breakdown you guys have done, in my humble opinion this is by far your best yet. 👍 👍.
Abel’s comment, that it took someone with such strong personnal commitments to overcome the Samurai inspired Japanese Commander, sums up the movie !
And what was even more amazing about Doss was that he did all that stuff on Okinawa on one working lung, as he had already contracted tuberculosis by that time. (He wasn't diagnosed with that until after the war, and his bad lung was surgically removed, I believe.) Talk about sheer grit and focus, man had it in spades.
Love the content guys keep it up!!
Been watching your vids for a few weeks and i love the content and you guys helping out the community. Mad respect to what all soliders, airmen, sailors, marines, SF, etc... Do and what ya'll have to go through. The reactions and breakdowns are dope. I just subscribed and would be cool to see other movies like Expendables, From Paris with Love, Shooter, Lethal Weapon and Equalizer. Obviously all use movie magic but should be fun vids. Cheers boyz!
Such a great movie and a unbelievable impressive soldier. I would have liked more scenes in the reaction, but I fully understand the "rules" you have to comply to. 👌
Thank you for the breakdown, I waited for this one! 😊
I really liked your monologue on not compromising. Everyone compromises in life, one way or another, but whenever there is that little sacrifice, it is important to be aware that you are destroying part of yourself.
These are one of the best parts of my Sundays!
we appreciate you bro!
This movie to me, as a civilian, makes me appreciate the faith that soldiers can have when in dire situations. 'Hold on. Do what you can. Someone will come for you.'
Excited for Beers (Screwdrivers) and Breakdowns!🖤💚
Love this movie!
Another dang good show brothers! I can't wait for the next show. Whether it's beers and breakdowns or wines and rations they are all great!
I was taught to use the belt issued in boot as an effective tourniquet, and had that reinforced as a Firefighter EMT, it works.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
I love the brews and breakdowns, and honestly I won't watch them if Sean's not in them, you got fans out here brother!
The one scene I really enjoyed was when his father who was abusive and definitely suffering from what years later would be know as PTSD, came in to stand up for his son in court. I'd like to also know if his brother made it back home since I don't think we really saw him again after the war. I also absolutely loved seeing the real Desmond Doss being interviewed.
Old Ranger, class of Feb '85, good to listen to your views today. Take a look at Siege of Jadotville, true story of Irish unit A/35 IN in Congo 1961, made into a movie in 2016
The ritual the High Ranking Japanese did was called "Seppuku" and it's such a fascinating ritual of the old japanese culture and religion.
You asked what line in the movie was most meaningful to me…”Lord..help me get just one more”. Tons of takeaway from that one line
Watched this movie for the first time last night. My grandfather served at the tail end of WW2 in the South Pacific on the island of Peleliu with an Army infantry unit. He was drafted when they were drafting 25 year olds with 3 kids. I’ve only heard a few stories from his time in the service…this movie gave me some perspective of what he possibly experienced and then some.
You could describe me as pretty woke-ish but I never in my life would have gotten that "toxic masculinity" vibe from the scene after he got jumped.
On the contrary he got beat up cause ppl saw him as liability and wanted him to leave, which is totally fair given his character has no way to defend his brothers in arms. And him not snitching on anyone shows again that he's persistent in his believes and determined to proof the rest wrong/show them that they are in the same boat. None of those are "toxic" traits especially not given the setting of the scene/movie.
The take on Vince Vaughn as a DS is kind of funny, because my grandfather told me stories of when he went through Basic in 1942; his exact words were , "they either beat the shit out of us, to show how to 'be tough', let bullies run the barracks, or just talked shit for 6 weeks, because we needed to only know how to shoot, march, and take orders."
I love this movie , have a good one Buck!
Maybe it's Mel Gibson's personality or upbringing, but he consistently delivers movies that we vets/active duty love. His movies are badass and don't sugarcoat anything about war. It's a true honor that Mel Gibson's return to the industry is the telling the story of a TRUE hero.
Some of the first issued body armor was heavy steel plate and segmented armor in WW1. If memory serves it was mainly issued to snipers and machine gunners since they were the ones in fixed positions and vulnerable to counter sniper fire
Thanks Buck! I just did a proper application for an improvised tourniquet with your good instruction ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My dad was born in 1935 and could literally order a Thompson machine gun from the Sears catalogue and have it delivered to his house growing up. Loved that man....went out and bought me BB gun growing up even though my Mom didn't want me to have one.
If you want to skip their long talk about the program and stuff to watch where they start to break it down go to 6:30
You need to watch the washing the blood out of his eyes scene.
The actor that playing the wounded soldier so nails it.
The way he reply’s to the question “can you walk?” Is spot on and truly captures his state of mind.
When I was at WLC in the National Guard, I did my Oral presentation on Desmond Doss. He was an amazing man and hero.
Love you guys
Its awesome to look you guys. I look around world that is lost itself while redefining words and ideals. People who are completely lost and countries that refuse to look facts. This channel gives me hope though. Thank you.
This is a good one. Beers while reacting to "Soldier" with Kurt Russel. I watched this with the team after my third deployment to Bosnia. Just pure entertainment.
Desmond Doss is interred at the Chattanooga National Cemetary. The top of his marker is usually overflowing with coins. He saved much more then 50 or 100 especially over the course of the war. Imagine having saved 100 men, now multiply that by their kids and grandkids. There's a lot of people to stop to show their respect, and to pray. His Grave is a temple. I've known some tough dudes, absolutely real life GI Joe characters....but none of them would say they were as BA as Desmond. Everything I have read shows they actually toned down what he accomplished in the movie to make it more beleivable. Thanks to every medic, corpsman, PJ etc.....you are God's answered prayers.
You both are very sound people , much love from Canada brother
Glad y'all did this pineapple vodka breakdown...felt different walking out of the theater after that one. Some movies just stick with us for whatever reason...Hacksaw Ridge, 13 Hrs, and The Little Mermaid...wait what? Love this channel fellas!!! 🤘🤘🤘🙏🙏🙏
M-1952A vests began reaching U.S. Army troops in Korea in late 1952, and remained in service through the Vietnam War. The Armor, Body Fragmentation Protective, with ¾ Collar, better known as the M-69, was fielded during the Vietnam War. The Doran plate, made from a strong fiberglass laminate, was first used by the US Marines during World War II.
Buck nailed this. God bless you man.
Movie starts at 6:30
Great to hear your insight on tourniquets. I like the one handed tourniquets, hopefully you know what I mean.
All it takes is one good as whooping, 2x recycle, and the patience to hit white phase for that recruit to turn a blanket party into a shoot house lol🤣
Desmond Doss had tuberculosis at the time of hacksaw ridge so he had to stiffle his coughing so as not to give away his location while finding injured soldiers he was diagnosed while in the V.A hospital and lost a lung to it .Truly a incredible human being.
Patton is a great movie to watch...love the content
Desmond was a soldier of the lord. It takes a whole different level of faith
Yep an amazing video about the medic Desmond Doss during the Battle of Okinawa, Japan 🗾 in 1945AD
THE WILD GEESE
Vince Vaughn can’t choose how he plays the character because this is based off of events that happened in real life. he’s playing a drill sergeant that was intense like that
About suggestions, I only watched first episode about Generation Kill. It deserves much more IMHO. One of the best series about war I recently saw
I know I'm late to the game here but Doss was one of the reasons I became an Army medic
These videos are great.
Keep it up boys 🍻
1 of the things thay get me every time is how scared the parents are. From the dad being in the first Great War and being scared for his son. To the mama knowing how it was for her husband and what war did to him and turned him into and seeing her son sign up for the same thing
I waited so so long for this video finally THANK YALL but also I can't wait tell ya'll react or if ya'll react to Hamburger Hill because this is another Vietnam good war movie that is based on a true story and realistic
Hey, just a note on TQs from someone currently working through EMT certification, improvised tourniquets are actually a bad idea most of the time, with a belt or a shirt you are likely not gonna get enough pressure.
Additionally, inadequate pressure to prevent perfusion can actually Increase arterial bleeding. The time to improvise a TQ would be better served using a shirt to pack the wound. Prep Medic here on UA-cam has a very good video on bleeding control that highlights what I'm saying.
Great content though, keep it up!
I love this movie. I think the biggest takeaway (for me anyway) is that no matter what you go through and what you have to carry with you, your Faith can help carry the load of the demons you battle.
I love the scene with his dad at the court marshall...and the basic training scene where Vince has the guy fall out naked is exactly how he should have played the entire role.
The nice guys with Ryan Gosling and Russel Crowe, you guys will make a funny movie even funnier
Siege of Firebase Gloria. Siege of Jadotville. Platoon.
Just for interest, look up an old HBO series: Vietnam War Stories.
A dark one about old old school SERE school is Opposing Force.
Old school medical, before things like the CAT, was immediate bandage, pressure bandage. And that buys time to rig a windlass TQ. I have had to bind stab wounds. It does work.
As far as fun stuff, knot tying is great. Most of the time, I just use a series of bend and hitches. But it is fun to learn a Flying Bowline. It's also a cool trick for kids, too.
Gentmen, first and foremost thank you for your service. My father retired from navy, chief petty officer. I took a much for destructive path. Spending 7 years in Florida prison system. In that environment, mind your own business! Have seen things, in my option is more severe. Guards saying FIGHT and no medical. Apologize for being morbid but that’s reality
It’s really hard to even understand the mindset of someone like Doss and absolutely be committed to his vision of service. My guess would be that coming home and enduring the nightmares he had was a heroic in itself
If you want to watch " The Last Full Measure" a true account of a USAF PJ mission ( in Vietnam )and the politics of war.
Great video. I lived in Okinawa a few years ago. I recommend the movie Siege Of Jadotville for St Patrick’s Day on Beers and Breakdown.
I just recommended the same movie.
Truly awesome and true life are always the best.
The way they were treated at the end of it was a crime.
I really enjoy your commentary on the movies. This is one of my all-time favorites movies. I actually signed up in 88 in the delayed entry program. I hurt my back in between before I went in and still went in anyway. Did not last more than a few weeks of basic with my back. But I signed up to drive tanks. There was no way I wanted to be infantry after seeing these types of movies.
Great video
Good as always! Do one on Heat please? thanks
There were 40 in my class at Parris Island in '63 After 88 days graduated 28. Of the 28 of us graduating we were all infantry 90 days of advance infantry training, If you didn't pay attention you got your ass kicked because the guys your training with are the same guys
your going to be serving with in the RVN. You were a unit once you finished AITR. It wasn't until '65 that basic was cut to 8 weeks When you go from 13 weeks to just 8 weeks somebody made a mistake. Like to see you're reactions to the film 'Tigerland' [ Colin Farrell]
Sean Rogers fits Colin Farrell's character in that film.
I had absolutely zero interest in watching this movie. Finally decided to check it out. Immediately kicked myself in the nuts after it was over. So much better than I expected.
Thin is actually a bad thing. Too wide is better than too thin. NAR requires 1.5" or more for TQ qualifications. A belt would actually make it worse because it's tight but not tight enough causing the blood to be squeezed and flow faster. Just a little info on that.
Hamburger hill and platoon.
Private Doss was one of the four men who volunteered to attach that rope ladder! With it they actually had a better way, alternate way, to fall back.
