I just recently found your Channel, and I love it. I am from Germany but I moved to the United States around 7 years ago. I love it here.
Oh ty so much. Welcome to the channel. 🙏
@@european-reacts Glad to be here!
Welcome to America. Hopefully you love it enough here to become a citizen
Welcome and glad to have you😊
@@TomCat777 Actually, I am already a citizen. I got it as soon as I hit 5 years with a green card :)
We have 373 million firearms in civilian homes. That should deter any enemy of our country
Amen
Your true enemy is the corrupt Biden the Terrible Administration
And 350 million citizens, that means everyone can have at least one.
If there was ever an invasion, people could gather together in some of the homes and form 24 hour patrols.
Working hours are only 26% of the week. You need a team to keep alert at all times.
I'm thinking get a block of 10-12 houses and get at least 40 people who can shoot. They would work shifts. One house with 4 hunters will topple eventually.
The country is big enough that sections not currently being invaded can form groups like this beforehand.
Some women would be fit for patrol duty, but nearly all are fit for grocery duty. A militia must be fed.
Children can learn as they go, and perform some minor lookout duties, wake people for shifts, stuff like that.
I'm sure there are other things that come up. Everyone will need to pitch in to make it work. You would also want to coordinate with other blocks. Facebook could be utilized for this. You want to know if the invaders are coming from the east or the south. Very important to know where and when.
“Not by might, not by power, but by MY Spirit, says the LORD”.
I love that the second biggest air force in the world is the US Navy.
And the fourth largest is the army I think 😂
And 7th is marines.
So... what you're trying to tell me is that the only country that would stand a chance against America would be...
...
... America.
@@rogerscurlock2927 pretty much or a coalition of the next 20 countries in terms of military strength.
@@davidkeese3372 the best part is that coalition would likely still be outclassed and outgunned. Lol.
There's a story about the F22 in Iran. The Iranian Air Force was tracking a US Drone, getting ready to engage with two or three planes. While obtaining a radar lock on the drone, the F22 pilot ended the engagement with four words by coming right up behind them undetected and simply saying over the radar "You should go home"
I saw that video! Watched it 4 times because I laughed so hard.
I saw that too.
@Belegalorleave where can I find that video?
I saw that and had to share with my family. It was awesome, and I had to watch it several times😆

The M1 Abrams is a beast. I drove one for 4 years including when I was in the Gulf War. That tank is battlefield tested!
thank you for manning that beast sir.
And consider that all this is declassified information. Imagine whats kept secret.
Exactly... we not tellin you nearly everything we got.. fafo

Yeah nobody’s ready for our new tech waiting for someone to f around & find out! 💯🤣
*cough Skunkworks *cough
@@Subtronical Remeber that tech can be used on anyone not only foreing countries.. considering how corrupted the states are becoming..
Army vet here. Our miliary members understand that each task, no matter how small, is needed for the overall victory. Yet each member is ready to pick up their weapon and do their soldering at a drop of the hat. Another reason....we do not react well to having our freedom or our way of life infringed upon. We will pick up shovels and pickaxes if nothing else is available to defend ourselves. We are a very patriotic lot.
Well said 👏 ❤
No one with a lick of sense has ever suggested otherwise.
Amen.
Welcome Home. God bless 🙏🏼
Very well said ! Americans might argue amongst ourselves but have a non ally country try and change our way of life and we come together like a pack of wolves to defend it.
The helmet alone for the F-22 costs around $400,000.
Just found your channel I served from 1997 to 2006 in the U.S. Army as a combat medic . I was with the 101st airborne division. You won't hear the gun sound when it fires cause if you're the enemy, you are dead by the time you hear the sound in the A-10 Warthog
Thank you for your service
Forget "controlling" the Kraken, we ARE the Kraken. 🐙
Your love of the USA is very apparent and very touching. Thank you, from this Navy mom.
Coast Guard mom here.. Bless you squid mom.. from puddle pirate mom.. xoxoxo
You ladies wanna go boating😉
Thank you for your families sacrifices. I true was a navy brat.
From an AF mom- Thanks for your service too. We smile in public & worry & cry at home. But a Mom is a Mom is a Mom.
That's another important fact, the U.S. is an all volunteer military force, a very motivated force.
Seal Team 6 are a group of absolute physical beasts. They are the best of the best and extremely intelligent. They withstand every type of pain and deprivation you can think of, and still achieve their missions. As far as someone sending an atomic weapon here, I'm sure there is technology the general public here isn't even aware of. If this is what we are actually showing people.....imagine what America has that is top secret!!!!
Top secret until trump came into office
US military spending is why the world now has PCs, cell phones, GPS, microwaves and a bunch more modern tech.
gps was literally originally a military system. the modern internet was originally a hybrid military-academic partnership. large scale long-range wireless connectivity was pioneered in the us military. modern computing owes its early existence to modern cryptography, and modern cryptography came about due to the west's need for extreme secrecy (and the fact they at the time just figured out how to break almost all prior forms of encryption). and the list goes on.
@@dead-claudia - thanks for expanding on my comment.
But you forgot miniaturization.
and all that technology is pretty oldI can only imagine the stuff that's going to be Declassified in commercialized in the future
And paying 50k for an ambulance..

Don't apologize for pauses. This is why we watch your reaction videos, to get your viewpoint.
You’d be surprised, I just replied to a comment on his recent upload of someone saying he to “pause less.” That genuinely confuses the shit out of me lol. If you’re watching a REACTION channel but have the audacity to type a complaint instead of watching the original video, I think all hope in this world is lost for you 😂
@@H4GS Ye, he said in beginning the link to original video. Imo, opinions of low IQ people shouldn't be considered.
Agreed
As a U.S. Navy veteran, and a father, I super appreciate you sharing information like this, I seriously don’t want any other country to try us, we know how get violent better than anyone else.
The F22 apparently has the radar cross section of a small bird, but the F35 has the radar cross section of a bee. Much more effective stealth!
Got those backwards:
F 35 has a RCS of 0.005 meters squared.
F 22 has a RCS of 0.0001 meters squared.
Both are very stealthy, but the F 22 is a (even more expensive) ghost.
The original stealth F 117 has a RCS of 0.001 meters squared. But it carried fewer and smaller bombs than either of the other two.
I was in the USAF when we were flying the F 111 and transferring to the original F 15s (RCS 10.5!).
@@dking1836 That seems very counterintuitive. The F35 is newer, one would think it was designed from the ground up to use newer stealth technologies. Also doesn't it do a better job of certain things that help with stealth such as carrying all of its armaments internally?
Thank you to every service person protecting our freedom..
Happy Memorial Day. God bless our fallen 🙏
Older American here. Probably one of your best videos. You've got a great personality for this media. You get what you pay for. The people who serve in our various military branches are the most amazing people. All of us average citizens should honor all those who serve & thank them for their dedication & professionalism. They & their families sacrifice so we remain free. It's a shame to see how so many parts of our country are being turned into lawless third world slums by corrupt politicians.
So totally agree with you. Also an older American.
Sadly, most of our military spending doesn’t even go toward personnel or VA services. It goes towards stockpiling more equipment than we can ever use.
It's also the corrupt politicians who don't respect the military, especially veterans. Their motto, "what have you done for me lately?"
My children learned when they could walk to always go up and shake hands with and thank a soldier/ or marine for their service. They are in their 20s and have always. I'm the daughter of a Marine #semperfi
Unfortunately a lot of our sacrifice is our family. I am disabled but I would give a lot to get back time with my kids. And my son in law gets very little time with his kids even though he is out of the service now. His job is as a guard on an army post. They are refusing to fill empty slots for other guards so he is doing ridiculous amounts of over time. Gives me a lot of time babysitting my grandkids but I wish they got more time with their parents.
I agree with you about the A-10. I'm from South Carolina, USA, and have seen the A-10 flying overhead several times, and it is every bit as impressive as it appears in the videos. I've also seen Harrriers hovering over the eastern coastline, the Thunderbirds F-16's flying over my house on the way to a local air show , F/A-18's (you really need to check out any video that explain why the F-18 got the /A added to it), Apache and Blackhawk helicopters on the ground where I got to look inside them, and all kinds of cargo planes flying overhead just about every day or so. When you see these machines on a regular basis, it reinforces just how strong our military really is. It was just a few weeks ago when I saw an F/A-18 flying low, and I hear fighter jets flying overhead on my afternoon walks on a regular basis. You'll know the difference between the sound of a commercial jet and a military fighter after just a few listens to the sound they make.
Thank you to every man and woman who protects our country!!
Our Military budget is not the reason for us not having Healthcare. The real reason is the pharmaceutical industry and insurance industry making great money and they use it to lobby our government to oppose Healthcare. People love blaming Military and military aid but it's simply not true.
💯🎯
Well said
and everything the govt touches eventually turns to shit
This exactly. Thank you for saying that.
Indeed, although it is a kinda funny joke
Brother, everyone loved the Warthog, especially grunts on the ground
I love the A-10 as well.. as well as some of the many WWII aircraft.
Except those who know any caught in it's friendly fire (something the warthog excells in)
@@Yuki_Ika7 The A-10 Thunderbolt II has been involved in ten U.S. troop deaths in friendly fire incidents between 2001 and 2015. The next highest is the B-1B bomber, which killed five soldiers last year in one incident. Friendly fire deaths are exceptionally rare. There have been 45 total friendly fire incidents out of about 140,000 missions flown by the Air Force, Navy and Marines.
12:58 Your choice of aircraft is spot on. The A-10 is damn near indestructible. Who cares about stealth when you have these around.
ICBM = Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile
Something to note, the US is the ONLY military that uses MIRV (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) warheads, meaning that 1 ICBM... 12 nuclear warheads... meaning 12 cities can be destroyed with one launch.
Even though the Chinese and Indian armies have more men, 35% of the Chinese soldiers are conscripts and 50% of the Indian army are conscripts compared to the US having 0 conscripts. The US also gives better equipment to each soldier. The Chinese soldier costs about $1,500 to fully equip, the Indian soldier costs about $900 to fully equip, and the US soldier costs $17,500 to equip.
Also, other than privileged high ranking officers, military members in China & North Korea are known to suffer from moderate to severe malnutrition. Heart breaking to me, as the daughter, daughter-in-law, aunt, sister-in-law, wife & Mom of either active duty or veterans of the US military.
It's only $17,500 to equip American soldiers because everything is overpriced by about half because prices aren't capped like they should be and because of that things get overpriced by a lot.
@RFredrickPhotography regardless we are still equipping even our lowest troops with good equipment, especially compared to China or India. The other fact is in a war we would never rely on infantry in the first place, not like Russia is doing which China and India would both have to do. The US would just do what we did in desert storm, air strikes for weeks to take out infrastructure and supplies and communications and THEN roll in with tanks and IFV, absolutely nail everything with artillery and himars and cruise missles, still bring in more airstrike and attack choppers as the tanks roll forward which are basically impossible for most nations to destroy on the field, obviously they can destroy one singular one if it's just sitting there but when a whole convoy is rolling up covered by IFV and attack copters and air support it ain't happening so kit of the average soldier doesn't matter much when we will just use machines
True, only thing china has on us is hacking which is really a big deal cause most our stuff runs through WiFi & gps, they’re 50x ahead of the US & every other country combined…
We have the supply, china does too but it’s cheap reversed engineered crap, everyone else is buying rockets from North Korea & half don’t work… Crazy a NK soldier said they were getting 5 bullets a piece for a yr! Idk how much that’s changed since but that’s crazy!
The sound an A10 makes when delivering close fire is epic.
It can't be replicated on a recording.
Brrrrrrrrrrrt
I used to live really close to an air force base and the super scary thing about the B2 spirits is its silence. It will fly over you without a sound, you only hear it after it's already passed you some distance. But by the time you hear it, you're already dead. It looks like a bird in the sky and you only realize what it was after it's already gone. Absolutely terrifying.
I'm a Navy vet, I can assure you that you do have a fitness test every year. Of course, the Navy's fitness test isn't as comprehensive as the other military branches.
I’m active duty Navy and I can assure you we have a fitness test every year unless you have a medical condition which prevents you from taking one.
100% the A10 Warthog as air support for the guys on the ground is a solid choice. There is NO comparison. Its literally a flying cannon that saves our troops lives.. and you're right.. the sound of the cannon alone is enough to scare away enemies.
Something I have only heard China's s leader XI Jinping say once during a NBC, ABC or CBS interview back when he first became China's president.
1) Xi stated that any country, not just China, but any country who would try to invade the United
States it would be suicide for that invading military because if you somehow got past the U.S. military there is in effect a second citizen military because just about every single home owner has several guns and plenty of ammo.
Also many people don't know the fact that Xi Jing went to College in the U.S. and lived with a family in Iowa as he attended college
People need to know that XI jipok
The A-10 Warthog is the most iconic air to ground aircraft that was ever created, agreed... We Americans love that plane... There is nothing in the world like the feeling you get knowing that weapons systems is in the air looking out for you and your people while causing fear and devastation to your targets. Just hearing that gun fire off in flight is amazing...
I am friends with an airforce veteran and he says that when the planes are in formation to take off it makes you realize how much power America has and what a big job it is to take care of such power
All those F16's on the Taxiway is called an "ELEPHANT WALK"
It took my neighbor 2.5years to get into the army. He kept failing the entry test due to his weight. He finally hit the necessary goal and hes in the service now.
Both the A10 and B2 are air to ground. A10 is close air support. The B2 is used for large-scale bombardment. Both are amazing at what they do. Although at the time the video was talking about air superiority.
This doesn't even include the fact that a third of American civilians have guns
I would say more than a third. According to the numbers there are more guns in the US than people by a few million.
I lost all of my guns in a horrific boating accident.
*that they know of * is a big stipulation too. Its far greater than that.
It's fair to say there are more guns in America than people so technically we could supply the entire population with just civilian firearms and have more than enough to go around.....
@@DankRy23 allegedly
No one person can launch Nuclear Missiles, especially the U.S. President. There are multiple safeties in place, but ultimately it comes down to two people with keys and they have to work in sync.
Not true that would be Russia Putin had to get permission form 4 people but in the USA if the president says launch they launch no one base the authority to say no
And the two keys are for a solder can’t just launch a nuke without permission form the president but yes the president can just say launch nuke and they have to
2 soldiers for every missle silo, the highest ranking infantry soldier is charge, grunts usually are officer school qualified, superior athletes, we don’t need officers
I’m commenting on a bit of inaccurate information someone posted. The Marine Corps is not 500,000 strong. Currently they are 172,577 strong. They are not Soldiers, they are Marines. A quick way to cause a fight is to call a Marine a Soldier. Soldiers, Army. Sailors, Navy. Airman, Air Force. Guardians, Space Force.
The Marine Corps does not have ships as they stated. The Marine Corps falls under the Department of the Navy. Therefore, the Navy transports Marines and their equipment by water anytime it is needed.
Army - 453,551
Navy - 332,322
Air Force - 318,698
Marine Corps - 172,577
Space Force - 8,879 (Organized under the Department of the Air Force.)
All of the branches have Reservists.
I have 14 Veterans in my family whom I’m so very proud of. My Dad, husband, son, brother, uncles, cousins. Countless friends as well. My career was on a Navy base, and a Marine base. I love our country beyond what mere words can express. God Bless The USA, and all of our courageous selfless military who protect us 🇺🇸🦅❤️
So fun watching you review this.
I grew up with my father working at Lockheed and Northrup with Top Secret clearence so he was on the B2 program for a little bit before returning to Skunkworks and then building the prototypes for the F22 and F35 before retiring. I sure miss him.
As for the cost of these advanced weapons we go back to the old adage, Freedom Isn't Free. Whether it is in monetary cost or the cost paid in lives
We proudly & courageously protect the world. God Bless & Protect the USA 🇺🇸🙏❤️🦅
Wish we wouldn’t anymore.
The B-1 bomber's great, great grandfather was a propeller plane. 1948, 1950.
This video is referring to active duty personnel. We also have a National Guard and Reserve Units for backup, and all (Active Duty, National Guard, and Reserve) are volunteer forces.
Some of the biggest aspects people often forget about when comparing different military’s from different countries is experience and training. The United States has been involved in wars and other military conflicts pretty much since it’s been established. lol
yeah our first major overseas intervention was in the very early 1800s against a country openly working with pirates to extort other nations. and we forced their hand so hard and fast, myths started spreading as a result.
and before that, we were involved with stuff going on in canada, too.
Over the history of the United States (1776-2024), we've been involved in far fewer wars/conflicts than the other "Great Powers". However, since World War 2, we've become involved in more than most countries, a result of our auperpower status, just as the British during the 19th and early 20th centuries when they were the world superpower. Our current military is completely professional and volunteer-based, unlike the conscript militaries of most other countries, and vastly experienced due to the U.S. military being deployed somewhere continuously since 1990.
The U.S. military in WW2 was the largest military in history over 16 million .
That was then. Not now
What's your point?
@@tomdowling638 that before ww2 American army was 200 thousand and in less then 1year it went up 2 million and after 2 years 16 million troops. We can grow an army quickly
The soviet union army was largest in history. Not USA.
A-10 is a grunt's best friend. Politicians do not fight. They seek to divest /retire things that work to suit their own political agendas.
my husband was in air force for 35 yrs... i loved being on base watching all the aircraft but my favorite are the F22 Raptors and the C130 which was what my husband worked on... they're huge beasts that carry massive amounts of weight n you feel like an ant standing under it
Retired Air Force here.
Thank you for your service 🙏🇺🇸❤️
Damn Andres channel is exploding! Seems like it was about a few thousand subs just a few months ago..... im so happy for this awesome dude, a great human being!🤘🔥🤙
fr like his channel is exploding
This is the kind of love we need tho. Everyone is quick to put the US down and point out our flaws, but nobody talks about why we are the “land of the free, and home of the brave..”
The US ARMY has a fitness test every six months and sometimes even less than six months. You have to pass the fitness test. You get other chances to improve, if you don’t pass. Also , you have to advance in rank. By taking college courses and studying to take Primary Leap Development Course (PLDC ) . They don’t want a dumb soldier. So it’s a challenge to be an American Soldier. That’s why they are one of the best.
The reason we don’t have universal healthcare is a combination of lobbyists, insider trading, stupid spending practices, and monopoly. Insulin is a great example as it’s super cheap to make but someone has a patent on the easiest way to make it. Military may be a part though. You also gotta think there is 0 promotion of good health practices so who wants to finance that issue.
A friend of mines cousin was chosen for the Navy Seals along with 99 others. When training was done only 2 passed and made the seal team. The training he said was sheer torture. He said they kept ringing the bell everyday saying I am done. Luckily he made it and is US Seal team member. Proud to know him. My cousin was a fighter pilot during Vietnam war, and my uncle was a tail gunner during WWII anthey got shot down in enemy territory and he was a POW for 3 yrs in Germany. Last but not least my dad was a medic during WWII and my father in law was an airborne medic during Korean war.
As for our Aircraft Carriers, yes we have 11 Super Carriers, but we also have 9 smaller Carriers for helicopters and the Marine F-35 variant since it has vertical take off and landing

Good Afternoon,
From the state of TEXAS in the USA
It wasn't only the Iron Dome, American ships and aircraft also helped shoot down the drones and missiles shot at Israel
And just to add to your point @Tomcat777, the U.S. was also not the only one helping. There were also British and some others. Without all of them (and us of course) a lot more of those drones and missiles would have gotten through.
Israel’s Iron Dome is short-ranged. Israel also has David’s Sling, Jericho (still classified), Arrow-2, and Arrow-3.
One of the MAIN reasons the U S Military is so STRONG we have GLOBAL REACH! No other Country can move it Military personnel and Hardware like us, plus we have Equipment FORWARD DEPLOYED all over the World
This is one of the most overlooked aspects of our military. We have the capability to project our force.

I have being watching you for awhile.. I love your content and enthusiasm. I also like your delivery of content. You keep it up and Portugal is a beautiful country.
I was in the USAF and we took annual fitness tests also. Not as intense as other branches
The stealth technology is so good even the US struggles to detect them. On September 17th, 2023 a Marine Corp controlled F-35 had a malfunction during a training flight over South Carolina that force ejected the pilots. The F-35 could not be detected on radar and they didn't know where it was headed when it ejected the pilots. It took the US almost 2 days to find the missing jet. It was found 75 miles away from where it ejected the pilots and since it crashed in an unpopulated area, no one saw the crash to report it.
Hey, Andrë, my husband is a US Army veteran, was tank crew in the mid 70's. His brother served for 20 years on an aircraft carrier.
Our eldest son served almost 10 years in the US Navy, Submarine Service.
One thing I can tell you is that the US Military invests incredible resources in education & training of its members -- my dear, late father-in-law was a Marine.
While serving, he received 2 Masters Degrees.
Also, all equipment is CONSTANTLY maintained & upgraded. I was shocked when I learned how often resources are put through detailed inspections & also modernization.
So for the PT test, as an Army Infantry, we actually do PT everyday and we test every 6th Months. Our test is higher than the Standard Army Test.

André, you are almost to 50k members!!! Congrats!!!
There is no such thing as free healthcare ..... You pay taxes or you pay insurance premiums.... Either way you pay.
Plus we defend most of the planet.. So they pay less for defense. Aka money to spend
What is a Charge Master?
Amen darling!
This is true. Portugal seems to have taxes between 37% and 48%--exact rates depend on your income. Compare that to the US rate of 22-32% + state rates of 5-9% + separate health insurance of 15%.
Now consider that the various national systems pretty much guarantee coverage, while American insurance companies are notorious for weaseling out of most claims, and you have to ask which is worse: 48% of your income for full coverage (literally everything except parking), or 56% for probably nothing.
It can be more patient friendly to have a national health insurance pool that is payed in advance thru taxes.
The A10 & the B2 are my favorites planes as well. One old but classic, another cutting edge tech. Both completely badass.
The B2 is a flying wing, the earliest versions flew during WW2.
You're right about the Portuguese past navy. I'd forgotten about it until you said that. In fact one of the more we'll known ships was developed by the Portuguese. The "man-of-war".
If you think about it, a good military is some quality healthcare.
It's been many years since my time in the service. However, I can say that as an army recruit, they trained me in a very short time to work with my fellow soldiers. Taught me that my success depended upon their success and the unit's success and to this day,I can still remember how to perform many basic tasks that any person on a front line is expected to be able to do even though my job in the service was not "front line". I went from a person who did my job, to making sure we all did OUR jobs and making sure that we ALL succeeded. IDK of any other training in civilian life that compares.
Yes, it is true. Been there done that. Was in the Infantry 4 year and M1 crewman for 2 years
Let's put it this way: the US military budget, is 3.5 times the size of Portugal's economy. $877b vs. $255b. The navy spends almost the entire annual Portuguese budget.
California's GDP is larger than all of Russia too. If it were it's own country, it'd be I believe no.4 or no.5 in the world, right behind Germany.

The A-10 Wharthog was based out of my city for a couple of decades! It was moved.
My uncle was on the original team that developed the coating/outer layer for the B2 #mueller
I am an American, and I served 6 years in the U.S. Arm, and then joined the U.S. Air Force for another 6 years before going to work for the Federal Government. All service branches have an annual fitness tests, although it is a lot easier in the Air Force (it was about half the requirements of the Army, however I heard they changed the test to be more like the Army)., The A-10 is a great bird, however according to friends, the B-2 breaks every time it takes off and every time it lands.
The A-10 was almost retired. It took overwhelming support from military people with boots on the ground that saw it in action to keep it flying
I agree with you on the A-10. They're awesome.
The ICBM's in the US have a range that is greater than the circumference of the globe. They could fly all the way around the world and hit the base they launched from.
The USA does not have "universal healthcare" for a variety of reasons, and it's not about the defense budget. Note that NOTHING is "free", and that includes healthcare.
Unless you are poor or disabled. Most states have a state funded medicaid program.
@@OkiePeg411 I recall reading that about 85% of Americans are covered by private health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.
@@barryfletcher7136 More than that: the 2022 (latest) stat is 94%, with a good push due to the Affordble Care Act.
If we spent as much on our citizens as we send to other countries we could have free healthcare
Yes, you are correct nothing is free. However, at least with Universal Healthcare you get something for your money. Ask any foreigner if they would give up their Universal Healthcare to go with private insurance like the US and they will laugh at you. I have Canadian, British, and French friends and they all say yes there are things that could be better with their system but they would never want the US system.
If you saw where they use the toilet in a B-2 you would change your mind about the alien tech comment lol
In the first Gulf War in 1996 the United States used the Paveway series of smart bombs. These are so accurate that instead of just hitting a building the plane dropping the bomb can choose which window to put the bomb into. And they can do this from up to 15 miles away.
I feel safe living in America.
Hahaha, you must not live near major cities. I’m a former Marine and my spidey senses tingle when I go to some cities. Some places in America feel like 3rd world shitholes run by warlords.
@@charlesbryson7443 There are a handful of places in America that are really unsafe places to be, yeah. All of them[1] are densely urban. The southern half of Los Angeles. Large parts of Detroit. Parts of San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, New Orleans, Miami, and New York City (but not nearly as *much* of NYC now as 30-40 years ago). A couple of small areas in Chicago (particularly the Washington Park neighborhood). I'm probably forgetting a couple.
Footnote 1: Well, all of the ones where the danger comes from human sources, are densely urban. There are also some places with natural danger, e.g., there's a spot in Hawaii that's extremely unsafe to stand in because you might get sprayed with lava; but it's fenced off, and people stand a few yards away and gawk, which is fine. There are cliffs and canyons where you could fall to your death. And so on and so forth. But that's not the sort of danger we were talking about.
That's because just like Rome, our end will be at our own hands
@@TokyNeon Yeah, that's a fairly common pattern in history. Not universal, but common.
As soon as Trump goes to jail you should feel safer.
Andre, what the video neglected to mention is that in Desert Storm, America lost only 27 airplanes lol. To give you a sense of scale, UK, France, Germany each have give or take 500-600 aircraft. The U.S. has nearly 16,000, and of course, not unlike those 3 European countries mentioned, ALL of our aircraft are fully functional and ALL are bleeding edge technology. This means any one of the most advanced Western European countries has at most about 3.75% as many aircraft as USA.
The SR-71 Blackbird was pretty cool too.
You should find the video telling how old the B2 and other equipment is. It’s amazing. A friend from my high school was a B2 pilot.
Freedom is not cheap. I still feel that our Military Men and Women should be paid a lot more. Proud to be an American especially when I watch these videos. ❤
Dude, just started watching you. Love the videos so far. And even as a US local, the A10 and B2 are my absolute favorites. My grandfather was Airforce, my father was Army.
Im an american and can confirm people have said for a long time that we dont spend enough on healthcare . I kind of agree. There are ALOT of people not necessarily poor but middle class people who cant afford or qualify for healthcare
Blaming the military for not having universal health care is lame. The military is still a small part of the budget 4-15% depending whether you count the VA, homeland security, border patrol, etc.
Yes. Navy seals has a high drop out rate during training
Watching the video, I can see why...just that little bit I saw looked very difficult.
Any city in the world. It's true.
Lets go here old subscriber from the Soccer Study channel, great job matee!!❤
I was in the army and the pt test was taken multiple times a year.
21:35 yes it's way harder. also, the whole process is entirely voluntary and you can exit the program at any point without consequence. in fact, there's a >75% dropout rate just to get into the navy seals at all.
it just carries so much prestige and respect, people will all but move actual mountains to try to get in.
Military spending has nothing to do with our healthcare. That statement is political!
Yeah, I know and what the hell was that End section there about assassinating Biden? That turned dark real fast! Tell me he’s a Trump supporter without telling me, he’s a Trump supporter.
I grew up in Tucson Arizona and the A-10 Warthog is based out of Davis Monthan Air Firce Base there. I love them and use to see them regularly. The plane was built around the huge Gatling Gun and is a bad ass plane. The call ot the Tank of the Air.
I was with the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne. Physical Fitness Testing was every three months. 5 mile runs every day. Men & women but men & women of iron.
Your humor really reminds me of one of my family members. Sometimes it’s hard to pick up on but when you do it’s f*cking hilarious
As a former Navy guy. I agree that the Navy Is the most powerful branch of the military. All the U.S. military branches are always picking on each other. We all also realize that every branch plays a vital part in the countries and the world's safety. It takes all branches working together to be the most powerful military in the world.
First off, thank you for your service. Second, I've always wondered if the Marines are a complete separate branch. Why do they fall under the Department of Navy
@@KingNubs1 agree that they should.
I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO SAY A-10-- I LOVE THE WARTHOG❤❤❤
