you should look up an American named Audie Murphy; "Lieutenant Audie Murphy was the most highly decorated soldier in American history." he went from warrior to actor.
Actually the record was most decorated for combat action. It was not branch specific or war specific. There are several, that if you count all of their various and sundry non combat related decorations including unit decorations, wear a lot more than what he had.
The Reason Jake didn't get any blisters from his ruck march was because he grew up running around without shoes as a kid. He had calluses on his feet that would make Fred Flintstone envious.
I'm a military veteran I was born in '77 and I was a '80s kid and you're exactly correct I have so much calluses on my feet I can run on Rock Streets and not even hurt them and that's what he did he had all the calluses from barefoot just like I was as a kid in the '80s
@@Majorpain32677 People don't get that you're actually stewing your feet and making them softer when you wear shoes all the time . I had to slow down ... but I used to walk barefooted across parking lots outside of bars that were made out of broken oyster shells . If I stepped in batch of sandspurs, I felt it, and it would hurt enough to take them out ... Other than the potential parasite problem ... walking around barefooted indoors or out is a healthier option . You can always switch to boots when you need them 👍
I used to run around barefoot on oiled roads. I'm pretty sure I killed the nerves on the bottoms of my feet after doing it for so many years. I'm 58 years old I still hate shoes but if I am going to wear them they better look good and they will be boots.😂😂
My grandfather was in Okinawa and he had a deal with the guys who transported the supplies up to the field hospital to “accidentally” drop a 5 gallon jug of pure grain alcohol off the truck on the way there and him and a couple buddies would cut it down with grapefruit juice so they could drink it. 😂
This man was the epitome of what being an American means, along with being superhuman😂. Fat Electrician is a great person to watch if you want to learn about American History the fun way. Love your videos man🫡, from the 804.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr McNiece a few years back. He is the perfect example of American exceptionalism. He was the most normal, laid back seeming guy you would ever meet, but when placed in a tough spot he excelled. You see everyday super heros in any culture, but in the American military it is common. We have so many stories just like this, you could fill an encyclopedia with Medal of Honor stories.
@@dgpatter I'm an old man. I remember when that movie first came out. That's when I first heard that it was based on a true story. I heard the Fat Electrician make the comment after I made mine.
My friend, this is one of my favorite guys on here. His storytelling is impeccable, and I love showing him to my friends. I think you see why. Keep it long-form on the videos. Worth every second hanging out with you.
Brother I love this story. I hope you didn't get too much rain. I understand Spain has had record flooding and I've sent prayers over your way...just in case.
@@european-reactsYour comprehension and analysis are excellent! Thank you for your reactions. Nic speaks very quickly, I’m impressed with your understanding. First bar story: Jake said his friend couldn’t hit the floor with his hat in 30 throws.
Fat Electrician "22 vs 500 - America's Defiant Stand at Lanzerath Ridge" Fat Electrician "The Real Rambo - Roy Benavidez..." Fat Electrician "America's War Horse Marine - Sergeant Reckless"
I love these stories too!! I even love watching different creators cover Fat Electrician. I have seen them at least once! I never get tired of his wit, humor, historical research, and the way he pulls it all together in each episode. 😂👏🙌🙏🇺🇸 I’m from a multiple generation military family on both sides parent’s sides. I love hearing these type of unsung heroes in particular. 🥰
Yes Andre, I'm with you until the end! I've watched this before but you make it so exciting, I enjoy watching you very much! I can't wait until he gets to the part about the German officer at the bridge and then the eggs, you are going to say no chance and I'm going to smile! I love this story too! I especially love the way the fat electrician tells the story! He would make a great history teacher! Thank you for letting me watch with you!
I was waiting for you to do this video for a long time just for the fact I got to meet him when I was a kid in the 1980's. The relatives I was temporarily staying with apparently knew his family. But he was a character. And when he told stories of the old days he always got this grin on his face that was just priceless.
Nic brought up that there were people who commented who were actually delivered mail by Jake. The general consensus was nobody had any idea that the friendly old man was just incredibly badass.
The reason they didn't know about the movie is because it wasn't made until 1967, just a bit after WW2 and Korea and most of Vietnam. Nick definitely has some of the coolest stories anywhere. A few facts may not be completely correct but the stories are great.
There was a comment on nicks video of a guy that apparently lived in the area that jake worked for the postal service, and said as I was growing up he had no idea that his mailman was such a badass
Great reaction! I live in Ponca City and most people don't know anything about this guy. Its sad really because he truly is an American hero and should of been recognized a lot more.
Jake wasn’t crazy or unstable. He was what was called a rugged individualist,; focused, resourceful, strong willed, stubborn and tough. The type of person others would naturally look to for leadership.
There were two movies about the Thilthy 13: "The Dirty Dozen" and "Inglorious Bastards." Both movies actually downplayed the true story because Hollywood felt no one would believe all that happened on military records. As to Nick "The Fat Electrician" he has a lot of great UA-cam videos about American military members who should be remembered.
Wow! I loved watching that man's amazing story with you. Thank you Andre. You're my favorite UA-cam personality... Eric from Tennessee, living in Seattle.
Yes, look up Audie Murphy not only fid he recieve ever valor award given by the US in World War II. He also had to get his olfer sister to lie about his age begsuse he was too young. Look up the candy bomber, another great this time post war story. Lastly look at the Fat Electricians video from last night.
I got to meet Jake, i grew up in Tonkawa Oklahoma 15 miles from ponca city 1986 9th grade history class Jake came and told us some stories he was great!!!
Great reaction, you gotta check out he story on SERGEANT RECKLESS, THE AMERICAN WAR HORSE, If you haven't already. These stories are all amazing & makes this American proud that we have such bada**es on our side ❤🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
I went to Tank school in Fort Benning and spent a few months as part of a parachute packing Platoon lol. I'll be honest though, I'm a Marine and didn't even know that's where Airborne was.
Two of my uncles were in the 101st Airborne in World War II. When they came home people didn't believe the things they had done their own brothers and sisters called them Liars to their face who could believe Farm boys from Mississippi driving around in Hitler's limousine and reading Herman Goering's wine cellar.
I love Jake, some of this story I had never heard. Thank You for sharing. Story is Amazing and am happy he married, had children and found God. Truly a HERO. This was a man with a spine and a lot of intestinal fortitude.
LMAO- @26:19 "is this Jake?" Nope, just a stock photo of a RUSSIAN soldier. BUT..... you asking is hilarious due to all the confusion over YOUR accent .
That's how we fished sometimes an M80 and we threw it in the water. Hours of fishing in 5 minutes. We were 9 , 10, and 11. We scared the crap out of people in 5 different houses. 😂😂 Goodtimes
Keep in mind that Jake and his family were living in The Depression and a lot of children had to go barefooted because their parents could not afford to buy their children shoes. AND Jake being part Choctaw Native American Indian we go barefoot more than wear shoes, even while hunting.
If you're coming to the United States next year, I would love to host you in Las Vegas. We have three guest rooms in our house. We also have Las Vegas which is a spectacle to see. There is a drive from LV to California that will take you through Death Valley where you can see the lowest elevation in the western hemisphere (86 meters below sea level) and Mt. Whitney (the highest point in the contiguous U.S. at 4400 meter) 200 kilometers away. Lone Pine, California in the shadow of Mt. Whitney is a place where hundreds of movies, mostly westerns were filmed. 400 kilometers from Lone Pine is Sequoia National Park. All breathtaking things to see. I would even be happy to host you on the drive (but I'm retired! I can't pay for all the travel but you can stay at my home for free!). Love your videos, love your positivity and enthusiasm. Would love to meet you and share some of my country with you.
I have watched The Fat Electrican and am glad you watched the video all the way through. But you should watch more of his vids. Especially the one with SGT. Reckless, that is if you haven't yet. Thanks again my friend.
I completely enjoyed your reaction to one of the greatest legends of the Greatest Generation 💖 I will watch any other reactions you do from Nick, AWESOME storyteller! Lafayette “War Daddy” Pool is an excellent one , a movie was made about him starring Brad Pitt called Fury. Tried to watch the movie and then stopped and watched Nicks version again.

He was the highest decorated soldier of WWII for the army, not ever.
Actually the record was most decorated for combat action. It was not branch specific or war specific. There are several, that if you count all of their various and sundry non combat related decorations including unit decorations, wear a lot more than what he had.
@@dirtygruntI actually checked to make sure that he still had the record after posting my reply below.
@@PAT8888-is2pd yeah I posted that quick before bed last night and did not really check it, like y'all did.

Great depression helped too. You had to work often with barefeet all day every day if shoes were too expensive
I cackled when he talked about the guys fishing with explosives. My grandfather was a medic in the Pacific & they did the same thing 😆🎣

You should get Jake’s book. You can find it online. It’s a great read. It covers many more of Jake’s exploits than the fat electrician covered.
This man was the epitome of what being an American means, along with being superhuman😂. Fat Electrician is a great person to watch if you want to learn about American History the fun way. Love your videos man🫡, from the 804.

He's both an Unstoppable Force & an Immovable Object rolled into one.
I think this is what inspired the movie "The Dirty Dozen"
You are correct.
Was your first clue when the fat electrician said that they inspired a movie called The Dirty Dozen in the very video you’re commenting on?

Great that you are reacting to the Fat Electrician!
I do suggest that you look at older ones for the Revolutionary War.
Yes he did steal the train.
And English food does S&ck

And we can blame the Marines for gender reveals. 😂😂😂

Nothing better than a history lesson from TFE. ❤
Is that Adam Enticnap?

I love the fat electrician, and love you reacting to him, great video as always man
Love TFE! Check out one about Trucks and eggs. That one explains about the Big American Trucks.
I can listen to Jakes story all day!!!

Nick definitely has some of the coolest stories anywhere. A few facts may not be completely correct but the stories are great.
I have a movie suggestion for you. Uncut original version of blazing saddles by Mel Brooks. You'll never look at America the same way.

What a great story. Thank you for sharing it and remembering the "unsung heroes". Thank you, the fat electrician. great storytelling.

This is absolutely true. I was 101st Airborne Air Assault Division. This story is in the 101st Airborne Museum.

Look into mountain man John Colter and the Blackfoot death run. American mountain men were bad ass
Jake is so cool! He’s got warrior blood running through his veins.
loved this video and your reaction to it.
I love these Military stories. These were MEN. Amazing to hear.
I love this! Do more of these!!

Check out "America's War Horse Marine - Sergeant Reckless". American try's to honor our service Vets.
...or in this instance, honor a Vet with a vet?
The artwork though...I see a piece that's Starry Night by Van Gogh...with Goku and Vegeta about to connect their blasts in battle...now THAT'S art!

Barbary Wars vid is the best choice of his.
Batman is the bravest superhero because he is not a superhero he's human. So ever since the early 60s I've admired Batman for his bravery.
