17 years active duty, 4 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. This song and video hits so freaking hard. I love this band so much for bringing awareness to the terrible and ignored issue with Veterans.
17 years in the Army and all I have to show is no longer having my right leg , I re visit this video many times a week and it helps me in ways no other can. Thank you FFDP , you’ll never truly know the good you e done for Veterans like myself .
Брат сейчас по всему миру такое же происходит на Украине русские и украинцы. евреи с Палестиной и черт пойми что там они не могут поделить .ты живи главное не сдавайся ты солдат
Thank you for your service and sacrifice. Just know whether or not you see us in real life, that there's people out there who wholeheartedly appreciate what you've done for us, and those words have meaning.
+Ian Vanderpool real life .. Hits hard .. For sure ... Just know choices were made .. They made there's.. And we made ares ... Unfortunately we not fighting as hard enough as they did for us .. .... It's are fault ... Middleman
I can almost guarantee that this song alone has done more to help raise awareness and money for veterans and homeless vets than our government has in 50+ years
I'd agree that it may have raised awareness, but the money to help has been sadly lacking. I am one of the many veterans that have experienced homelessness, and I'm soon to be in that same damn boat again. Our government has been so interested in enriching themselves that the ones who have kept their freedoms alive are merely an afterthought. It is sickening, and a sad commentary of this country.
I agree with that and like I've said before. There is absolutely no reason for any of our veterans to be homeless. Cold hungry, whatever this country should take care of our veterans, till the day they pass for free. We need to take care of our own first and stop worrying about the rest of the world. Take care of our own first cause. I aint nobody out there taking care of iris. That's something we should do. I'm an army veteran and then I'm blessed because I have a home. I have good insurand that is such a blessing. And it's a miracle in my life. I can't stand the fact that. I've entrance around the street. Some of them in the cold. Someone emptied it arms andelete some of them's brain. Are not right. There's a lot of things and they should NOT EVER BE WITHOUT. People don't realize this country without our soldiers and veterans. It's like heaven with no angels. A lot of good men and women stand up for our way of life and everybody. We have now and our military branches are all volunteers. There's not been a draft since Vietnam. And I must say Vietnam veterans are not treated fairly. They're not treated right and that's a shame .
I thank you for your service and I just gotta say it's a d*** shame there's no reason ever for vete trains are elderly and are children to be hungry cold homeless wild people from other countries and nations come here. We take care of them. But what better own I'm a veteran as well. But I'm blessed that I do have a home. I have good insurance where I can do medical. And that is such a blessing in my life. I could not imagine not having some more light in my head. Not having a blanket to cover up me. In my little Fur baby, it's a d*** shine. Veterans should be taken care of 100% free for the rest of their life. Shouldn't have to worry about d*** thing. But as you said, our governments to worry about other s*** to worry about the ones who stood up. I still stand to protect our way of life. Thank you for your servi. Don't know where you're from but if I could help you I will
This song hits home hard. After Desert Storm I came home and went on with my life as a civilian, husband, and now a grandfather. I was walking one day and stumbled upon an old shipmate living on the street. I helped him get back on his feet and now he is doing the same for other Vets.
Luis Baez Okay, guys. Just stop. Are you seriously fighting over This? It's stupid. And Michael, you're probably just an immature ten year old who's trying to pick up fights. So just stop.
Yet I think I saw on Facebook a few months ago or last year a veteran said, unlike what Trump claims, Veterans haven’t had it any better (support wise for any of the problems listed in the video: homelessness, PTSD, etc.) then the past few years.
I Just cant understand ALL of this nonsense, If someome is that stressed and fearful of death injury and losing friends, why does he volunteer to do Exactly that in war????? Crazy thought to me
To any veterans or current serving members of our military reading this, thank you. Regardless of how debated our presence in the Middle East has become, I for one will always support people that are willing to lay down their lives for others. Especially in this day and age where you receive so many insults from people sitting behind computer screens.
it doesnt matter where you stand politically, our troops/veterans need our support. the men and women of the armed forces are the most selfless and honorable individuals on the planet and have earned that respect through blood, sweat, fire, and tears. everyone needs to remember that freedom isnt free. Thank you Jade Hudson for your support.
wraith502 selfless, honorable? Yeah, right. I guess you forgot how the armed forces used to make fun of Iraqi's and piling them up naked and torturing them everyday right? Honorable my ass you deluded fool
TheSoufiane you sleep all safe and sound under the freedom that you are provided by these heros then criticize the methods by which it was obtained? take the oath, grab your gear and do the time, then you can criticize. ive done my time and would do it again. until you have walked in a soldiers boots, shut the fuck up troll!!
Weather your ptsd is from war or from violence same difference we battle the same problem so let's work together at understanding each other through respect 🙏
Tread Lightly. PTSD is only scratching the Surface of the Totality of Veteran's Affairs and Issues! I worked with a group of Veterans Also opened my Home to watch over some whom needed the reassurance of a Friend Friend to watch over them during the difficult. Moments! You don't understand what Veterans have gone through.
PTSD, it scars all of us. What ever horrible thing that happen to us that caused us to get PSTD, it kills us all the same. It eats us inside, sickening us, angering us, the more we feed it with what caused it stringer it gets, the stringer it gets the more we focus in it and feed it more. It will eat us until we are but a husk.
You are never the same when you come back. I had a horrible time adapting to civilian life when I got back. People who’ve never been to war can’t understand how you don’t just shut it off like it never happened.
Coming home has been the scariest thing for me, I gave 6 years of my life and was thrown away like a gum wrapper. Atleast while on duty we had a purpose
@@aeromedical6750 how are we supposed to? We were trained for years to kill and survive and then get put into the civilian world with no help. My family is the only thing that keeps me going every day. You got this brother
My papa was in combat, and he struggled for years. Once the army was done with him when he got hurt he had no one. His mom had passed away, he never knew his dad. Years later and a wife to help and kids then grandkids he got better and had a family of his own. Once his wife died of cancer, his son, and a daughter his stress brought back his ptsd. Watching my papa play out memories of his battles, crying for men that he held while they died. It was utterly heart breaking. The army did nothing to help him, noDr's, no treatment, no help. They threw him out like a dog that lost in a dog fight. The army, navy and more only care about the person that can get the job done after that they are trash.
Every day I walked to work wearing a suit and tie thinking how much my job sucked and how much I wish I had a better life, Then one day I sat down beside a homeless man who didnt have his hand out. Imagine how absurd I felt sitting there in a suit, then I listened to his story, and every day for two years I sat down beside my homeless friend Rowl. Rowl would not let me give him money. He wanted me to just listen. So I did. One day my friend wasn't there. I haven't seen him since. I miss my friend, and, more importantly I really appreciate his sacrifice for us. Thank you Rowl. I miss you brother... You have tough me that a simple act of kindness is the least we can do and often what we owe the people we ignore... We can be better....
+Jim Akeson I cried watching this video.... ten minutes later, i calmed down.... then i cried AGAIN reading this comment.... i hope Rowl is in a better place yeah? (im not american btw)
+Jim Akeson Thats all veterans want is someone to just try to understand what they saw and had to do. I have befriended many vets and some dont want to talk about their experiences andd some do. The most important thing is just being there as a friend. God bless you for your simple act of kindness, we need more like you.
Suomalaane i’m not trying to sound mean to you I want to tell you a thing the US treats alot of veterans like a animal if the animal can’t be handeld then kill it don’t help it just ignore it I wish the US can get it’s brain cells together and treat their vets like gods and all countries should do that too so you respecting US to 100% maby you shouldn’t I mean it’s up to you but I wish vets are treated like gods because they are trying to eliminate the absolute mentally retarded people such as IS and many more criminal army organizasions that thinks killing and such is good so vets deserve so much more
This song flipped my life and really immersed me in metal, I was sad depressed and in dissonance with myself and my identity 3 years ago, I was in car sitting on the backside and seeing a compilation of calisthenics workout and this song just had what really hit me home and I literally felt this grounded energy and zest towards life again, the will to fight for myself and everyone around me, ffdp gets a bad rep for this hard bro energy and lyrics but for me this is exactly what I needed to connect with my masculine core in this comfortable and emasculated world. All the love to these guys
That brought tears to my eyes. I am a Vietnam vet and was homeless and living out of my car. I met a man who owned a Chinese restaurant that fed me and encouraged me. Priceless. I am so grateful for my life, now.
You are a hero man. How you guys were treated when you returned home was disgraceful. It is understandable how your health could easily deteriorate after being called baby killers etc. You're a patriot and I love all the Vietnam vets. Real bad asses. Thank you for your service.
My Brother, there are still people that love you and appreciate you and so many, many others answering the call for Our Great Country and for ever single one of all of us. You all are HEROES!!!!
I'm at pains to point this out but I think he says 'You know me', not 'Look at me'. Still a fucking amazing song, I'm not American, nor have I served, and this still hits me hard
As British vet of 23 years I thank you all for your commitment, I've been there, all the emotions, thanks for your recognition. We have a massive issue over here in UK same as you guys..... this really hit hard.
$oldiers, wrong side of Heaven righteous side of Hell......... Paid mercenaries in the end, tormented by the same barbaric Slave/Servitude nature of the beast - $old, the World doesn't need $oldiers, it needs Warriors
My grandpa served his country. He was one of the forgotten veterans. He took his own life in 2016. I hope and pray he is at peace. I love and miss you Grandpa 💙
My father is a desert storm vet, not the same man. Never looks for a pat on the back but will never talk about the things he did or seen. Thankful for the men and women that do what they need to so we can live this life
Same about my dad. The most he has told me was how they would have to put down the dogs because of rabies. That's pretty much the extent he is willing to talk about.
Tom Johnston - Im from Brazil and im a volunteer in a warship museum in Massachusetts, we are a group of 30 ppl, most of them are Vietnam veterans, they do my Saturdays precious! I admire all of you veterans!
@@johnarango9145 you couldn't be more wrong.We don't fight for government's or politicians they just send us we fight for our brothers and sisters alongside us determined to bring them home safely sadly a task that weighs heavily when you fail
@@NoNo-ng3nx if no one was there to protect you the biggest and strongest would take everything from you.Its called assurance of mutual destruction.Throughout time that's happened and if you think it wouldn't you're incredibly naive.An awful lot of people in power down the centuries were the archetypal schoolyard bully just on a bigger scale and the military are people who will stand up to protect people In the British army we are a long way from being brainwashed.We have to think for ourselves at the lowest rank and are expected to understand the law of armed conflict along with a lot of other things that are integrated into core values In the Balkans we stood between civilians and people carrying out the most awful atrocities during a civil war.What were we supposed to do just leave them to it?The things carried out were horrible,and we didn't stop everything,but we made a difference.Even in iraq the human rights violations by the regime were horrendous.I don't trust politicians anymore than you do but the only thing needed for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing
@@NoNo-ng3nx it may sound like that. But why do governments send soldiers to mali for example? Because local war and local terrorists destroy local civilians lifes and terrorists spread all the time. We send soldiers because other governments ask for our help and also if we wouldn't send troops out they would spread around the world more and more and it wouldn't be safe for you to be in home no matter where u live. See this is the thing. If we wouldn't send troops there wouldn't be noone to fight u said right? Well not all other countries are as civilised and Well organised. Some ppl are full of criminals and terrorists and u think they would stop spreading and killing just bc we don't sen troops there? No. That's the point
@Benjamin Picton its the same narrative trotted out over and over but no one ever seems to actually understand how the real world works mate I joined as it's a family tradition and I was truly proud to have served and made a difference l,however small,in some of the worst places
And after that, between the moment he says "you saved my life, brother" and when he takes his handkerchief to wipe the tears, what does he say? Sorry to bother you with that, but I'm no good at reading lips.
You are not the only one that gets choked up. This my first time watching this video. I've replied to 5 people already and I'm still crying Happy because there are men and women willing to do the unthinkable for our country You have my utmost apologies and a big thanks for your service
+GamesGone Wild me too, i wanted to do the same like those people, wanted to make sacrefice, but i can't cause of my f**king kyphosis....i think a lot about them, and can't get rid of the pain what i feel
"the nation who forgets their veterans, will be the nation that is forgotten" who forgets about their veterans most? americans, because they are not fighting for freedom. They fighting for politicians. Were they fucking ever invaded? fuck no. Everytime Americans are the fire starter...sry guys. I have nothing against you, you dont even know about it that you are being moved like chess pieces all over the world. Remember my words. You have nothing to do with it, you just the poor people that will be affected the most when rich men in your country will start everything. Mark my words for that. The war is coming ...maybe not to your country because you away but war is already on middle east, you taking part in it for resources , you do not fight for freedom there. BULLSHIT. War is in europe as well...not officially but is there. And war will come to you as well...once you wont be able to fight you will be forgotten because we are all only a pieces in rich people game. God Save the world !
I don't know who said it or what the EXACT quote was , but i remember hearing something just figured i'd share it. *"Real soldiers don't fight because they hate what is in front of them, they fight because they love what is behind them"*
im on the spectrum too , but i dont like violence sooooo... also because you said that for a split second i thought your name was "Clutch gods AUTISM trentham" not Austin ha
The way we handle veterans who need our help in this country is pathetic. I believe any veteran who has seen combat, should get there healthcare paid for, or at least a very very good plan, and a large amount of housing paid for as well. But at the same time, it's horrible that young people don't know exactly what they are signing up for.
They fight for US interest,real veterans are iraquies,vietnamese,koreans,pakistani,syrians,cubans,libanon,lybia,ucraine people,serbs and croats and many others...becouse they FIGHT and RESIST for their MOTHERLAND and FATHERLAND againts imperialism,againts terrorism,againts colonialism,againts opression....today there is no patriotic veteran,just poor people used by imperialist Goverment.
This made me cry. I recently lost my father, a Vietnam Veteran. He was a good man who quietly struggled with PTSD all his life. Uncles, cousins, nephews - all veterans. All struggling. Most making it, some not. Pray for them all. God bless them.
Sorry for your loss. My grandfather was a WWII veteran. My dad is a Vietnam veteran and my uncle who passed away was also a Vietnam veteran. I'm a veteran of the Afghanistan and Iraq war. PTSD is very real with no real help for it.
Sorry for your loss but this song/video should be broadcast on every single TV channel across America and then you and your American counterparts might do something about the problems and lies "the greatest country in the world" actually face,the statistics in the video are shameful,how can the richest country on Earth treat their veterans and citizens so poorly,wake up the only people in America getting anything from the richest country on Earth are the richest people
Lost a friend two days ago to suicide. A Navy vet with severe PTSD and depression. May Joe RIP! This song spoke deeply to my heart and what Joe went through. M own father was a Korean War vet who had nightmares the entire time I was growing up. War is hell and we owe our veterans so much more.
I feel your pain cuz I've lost friends the same way. My father was a a vet and his ptsd from Vietnam turned him into an abusive sadistic human being. He finally got a handle on it a few years before his death
I'm on my Dad's account. He volunteered for the Marine Corps during the Vietnam war. He passed on May the 13th of 2021. I dedicate this song to you, Dad...Ooraah.
your Father was and is a HERO , anyone coming back from Vietnam alive was just very lucky... Oorah ! to your father, I recently lost a friend who also served with 82 airborne , he was an amazing man and I miss him dearly...
I was a homeless vet for 3 years until I was rescued by an old flame. We broke up after living together for 7 years, but we're still living together and we're still best friends. I'll never abandon her. I'll never not take care of her. She's recently developed a severe disability and can't navigate down stairs or even take a shower without someone there to help her and I'll forever be that person as long as she wants. I'll never forget that she was there for me when I was at my lowest. I have a wonderful career and 2 college degrees because of her. All I needed was a helping hand and she gave me that and more.
damn my dad was 17 when he got into military he's going to finish his job in about 2 or 3 more years he is 36 now 20 years in military had a divorce but still comes home happy each and every day just to make me feel better I really love and appreciate him After two years of posting this comment I got it all wrong. My mom is the one suffering and my dad is the piece of shit he doesn't treat us right and we have over 7 dogs. He buys shit food all the time when he can afford to feed us better and a lot of other very horrible things my dad really sucks. But I still have major respect for other veterans because they risked their life to protect. I have to take back what I said again. I feel he cares about us he is just struggling, I talked to him today and it made me feel better. As bad as I think we have it over here at least we got a house and food. I'm unsure of his character but he does want me succeed in life.
God saved your ASS ! Keep humble and appreciate what you got...Good on you son ! I have lived with a visually impaired person most of my life and i am proud for what i have given...She gave me a healthy , happy son who i adore and respect, for him being the great person he has become. Life is precious and enjoy your moments ! Merry Christmas and may God grant you a Happy New Year !
Where ever you are Sadhbh, whatever your doing, I think about you every time I listen to this song and I always hope you are okay. Thanks for opening up to me brother, your always in my thoughts. Much love, your fellow guild mate
A lot of people say the saddest part is the end, but I really think when the vet is getting arrested and how is he on the verge of tears (accompanied by captions saying ``A veteran doesn`t understand why his sacrifice went unappreciated) was what nearly got me. It`s also sad how the father Veteran never got any justice, the arrested vet gets empathy from the cop (who was also a vet or atleast served with his unit), the black Vet (no better way to describe him, unfortunately) meets up with the vet that saved his life, and might have helped him get his life on track. The father veteran is left sitting in the street, crying over his lost daughter.
"You saved my life brother", and then "you're going to be OK". Roll back in the video... both men say the same words to each other at different times. Also, operater grabs Jacoby by the lbv and moves him. Jacoby grabs operator in the same way and rescues him!
A man with a pure heart is not frivolous person. Truth,justice makes people much stronger and obliges them to do what they must to do. Only fools hesitate.
As a combat veteran I can honestly say the lyric "I'm no hero and I'm not made of stone" hits so hard. People have called me a hero, I'm no hero and sometimes my PTSD is so crushing I cry so the "I'm not made of stone" lyric is spot on.
That part does hit hard. When people assume you have no emotion, it's easier to assume we don't need support. To me that line is saying in essence "I hurt". Which is something no one wants to admit. The fortunate side is acknowledging the pain leads the way to finding a way to heal. I never saw combat but as a sailor and fellow veteran, I'd like to thank you for your service.
I think people have a lot of respect for the sacrifice made by service men/women. For them saying you're a hero is, maybe, an inadequate way of expressing a profound gratitude of the self sacrifice that you chose for everyone else.
Brother from one to another I thank you for your service to the world. Our own government and some of our own citizens may not care. But your brothers and sisters in uniform appreciate what you gave up and sacrificed to keep the world a little safer.
You stood strong for all of us who needed you. Thanks for your service. No one is stone god bless you for being strong enough to stand for us. Also to all who served best wishes!!
If u can tell me what does an American ,, warrior " protect behind his back , I'll be more than happy to be enlightened . They never had any wars on their territory ( except the civil one , which doesnt count cause its between them ) :/
I just got one thing to say to the people who say our military cares about each other and they care about our country so have respect for our military they are not making decisions our government is. So show respect for our soldiers and our flag. Go ahead and hate me I don't care what you think. I care about our military people!!!
Sorry to break it to you, but your wars are started mostly to protect the US petro-dollar relationship and to maintain USD as the worlds reserve currency, which allows your greed-driven privately-owned banking corporations to print as much money as the need, much of which is used to fund your over-bloated military force. The sausage sizzle is sold to the public in the name of patriotism, and the people that serve in the military are disposable collateral damage.
About a month and a half ago, my boyfriend committed suicide. He was a veteran. He suffered from PTSD. He rarely talked about his time in the service, but it was something his family and I always knew affecting him more than we could ever understand. I’ve always loved this band. I’ve even seen them live. Thank you for this. Veterans deserve better help and support. My boyfriend deserved better help after serving. Thank you for this song. The video was hard to watch, but still worth it.
Sorry to hear about that. I was Desert Shield/Storm and came home broken too, spent a lot of time homeless, hopefully you can resolve this in your life. It wasn't your fault.
It's a quote from a guy two thousand years ago. Here we are today in the modern age. Still holds true. Does it matter where he saw that quote? Everyone should know it.
7711sammy If what you say is true, I salute you sir. As a patriotic beer drinking, gun owning, U.S of A loving American I WANT to see our troops taken care of.
thanks sir for serving in our country.If you are telling the truth i respect you and anyone else that has fought in a war and understand that ppl go crazy of what they see. Even tho my grandpa didn't go crazy i still respect him bc he fought in veitnam war. Thanks to everyone that fought for our country.
Not only your veterans are forgotten... The USSR second world war veterans, Afganistan soldiers, Chechnya's war veterans today living poor and unusefull life. Not all, but there are enough of them. So, lets make pease, no war! Greetings from Belarus!
Damn this song just cuts deep. Not a serviceman or woman. But it gets the tears flowing every time. God bless our servicemen and women. And god bless everyone in the comments sharing their stories!
This song really is deep. I mean, I'm European, so the facts in this video and the listed organizations don't apply, but the message still does come across. We need to take care of the people who give everything up for others.
Joining the armed forces of america was the worst decision ive ever made. If you are watching this and you are thinking of this path, please reconsider.
As a Navy vet, I took this video with great joy, and sorrow. Joy that groups such as FFDP would put it out like that. And sorrow that idiotic networks like MTV and the news group by NOT showing this to the masses and youth and showing them the plight of what is going on with the Vets of today that need help!
+timabuf and that does not only happen at USA....all countries are the same crap with people that protect them...but they have no problems getting some extra funds...as well as it is disguised as a good action......
my dad his dad and most of his friends were veterans who were once on the streets if your a veteran watching thank you for your service and dont give up hope!.
This video makes me cry every time i watch it. Especially coming from a military family, I don't understand how this country is so terrible to the people who risk their lives and give up everything to fight for us and keep us safe. It absolutely breaks my heart.
I am a vet and almost became homeless. If it wasn't for my girlfriend's mom letting me live with them and get back on my feet, I would have became homeless. I listened to this song so many time before watching this video. And while watching this, I had a hard time focusing on the music because the subtitles and focusing on the expressions of these veterans really got to me. I liked the ending because there are a few amount of people that would help a homeless person, vet or not, off the street like that. When those 2 people locked eyes.... Edit: Well sadly we recently gotten divorced(married for 12yrs and together for 16yrs). It’s been rough for me lately. She seems to regret what she did but is struggling financially. I’m only struggling mentally. I didn’t have just my heart crushed….it was shattered. Last few months I’ve been having to pick up the pieces to become what I’ve been training to be. Now all I do is work, workout, play video games and watch anime. Anything to keep my mind busy. But at night….when I sleep….its quiet and my mind wonders 😢😭
they were in the same squad too if you payed enough attention. An ANY veteran out there thank you for all the hard work and all the sacrifices you had to make to keep this country safe.
Thank you, I've never met you but you risked your life for the sake of my safety. Regardless of the abuses our government uses soldiers to conduct, we cannot abandon our own fellow man.
True, sadly enough. Reminds me of a verse from a Tim McGraw song called Beautiful People...."A wrinkled Old man wearing medals that he earned on Omaha Beach, saying good-bye to a grandson that was killed outside Tikrit."
@h Jennings Got ya back Bro XX I am still alive . lol a sure 7.62 round slr is kinda accurate through brick walls . Bless you all and love you . That rifle has my name and number thank you sir . .
I also cry when I watch this. I have known many veterans who were homeless. It's very heart breaking. I knew a guy who was constantly getting in trouble with law and was homeless. Noone didn't help inform him of his VA benefits. He went to mental health hospital constantly and it still makes me sad when I think of him. The non va system failed him.
Thank you for doing this . Thank you from my dad,rip . Thank you for bringing light to the darkest place on earth. Bless all the soul-ders who fight for me ...every single one of you are my heros. in war.. don't pick a side.. nobody wins.
My dad was a big drinker and abuser. I struggled with building relationships after I moved out. Took away my self worth. I soon drowned in the darkness and became my father. I became the man I promised. I would never become. I picked up that bottle and couldn’t let it go. Almost pushing away all my family and loved ones. I put that bottle down 10/19/22 and have made the changes. To being the father, son, and husband and friend my father could never become. I’m grateful that I was able to overcome my addiction. And get the help I needed. Thank you for the song. Really helps keep me motivated to keep pushing. 1 day at a time.
Congratulations Austin! The song that hits me the most is The Tragic Truth. Don't know how many times I woke up on the bedroom floor in my own vomit. My family went through it watching me go through it. I sent that video to my mother and it brought her to tears. She remembers
One day at a time for sure. That bottle is like a loaded M9 with the safety off for me. I can’t do it anymore because seizures have become a common occurrence. Once your body gets to that point, it’s only a matter of time until the liver is past the point of repair. Scary stuff. Two tours Iraq 07-08, 2010. USAF Seccurity Forces, Staff Sergeant.

Sam Sinz have you ever considered e m d r therapy. As ah therapist I got great results, as a person set on fire intentionally at the tender age of 4 all I can say iz...its drug free, hypnosis free, shockfree, and it works! Pioneered in PTSD 4 Vietnam vets, found to work better than the drugz.... Seeking an ease of you pain Thank you for your service And thank you for my life Be well, be free The Butterfly Ki
sam im no kidding , try a mdma pill(ecstasy) it cured my ptsd and my life came back to color You can google it was used back then to treat PTSD , they started controlling it when it became a party drug ... if you're still in that hell this could save your life , greets.
@@kneeguh8464 dude what's wrong with you actually! Your reply is not even an answer.. Im telling you that your army is an invader, utilitarian that carries a killing doctrine, I'm Iraqi and your army has claimed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi innocent lives, not mentioning the fact that they actually invaded the country, stolen the Iraqi treasury, and the oil, bottom line of this is.. Your army is a barbarian one.. And shamelessnes can never be great my friend.
well but personally having firsthand experience with some soldiers/men they can get outta hand and a few of them straight rude/mean but every group has it's bad apples but they do need help to rehabilitate when they come back and sometimes they are not supported correctly upon leaving
I am an Iraqi combat war vet. I did not want to be there, but I held my head high, and drove on even when my battle buddies did not come home. I love this song, every time I hear it the song just hits home. Thank you 5FDP.
+Davey AnR Thank you so much for putting your life no the line i respect you i really do thank you for protecting our country you're very brave ik u didn't wanna be there but u did a great job and have a great day happy veterans day thank you once again for serving for our country god bless you. i know it must be difficult to come home and see all these people disrespecting what you helped keep for them and i thank you for that. GOD BLESS YOU. Have a wonderful day and i hope you enjoy the rest of your life thank you for serving
I just wish we had more out there to show how appreciative we are to our vets, they deserve a lot more than they receive when it comes to peoples respect, I know that from my grandfather.
When the guy in the suit said "you saved my life brother" that shit het me hard. My grandpa just got out of the army after 18 years of service in the army. He was with the 82ed and deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan 8 times he's an infantry men and has horrible PTSD and I ask him why did he do this to himself and every time he's says " for you " and man that shit brakes my heart
As a disabled veteran from the army this always hits home every time. It took me 10 years after separation to finally start getting seen by the VA here in MN. Even after that though I still see my brothers and sisters fall through the cracks of our system. The biggest thing that helps a vet suffering from PTSD and other mental illnesses is just having a simple talk.
Hello Brother Andrew, Viet Nam was beyond hell I was only age 20 killing as my job, I will not talk about Viet Nam to anyone, no one will ever understand what we went through in that F. .jungle The nightmares never end Andrew I am age 72 now I just want to f.. die.
@@ratter531 while I have personally never done any service myself I am very thankful for those such as yourself who have. I have family who have similar issues with PTSD and they’ve had some tough times with those issues but they fought and they got through it all. I believe you can too. God bless you and all of our our veterans. Those who have both served in the past and those currently serving now
Really!!! Tell me why??? Who is that person that keeps forcing Americans to go to war thousands of kilometers away from the home, m? Are you so stupid or what. It's all fake. Just look how many innocent people have died so far. Look at the Irak, Afganistan, Libia, Syria, Serbia... They just go around the world making wars so they can sell weapons and occupied other countries. Where ever the come they made a mess.
Велиша Станишић first off I'm sorry for what our government decided to do with the vollenteers who wanted to serve their country. Second what the fuck you coming at me for I didn't do or say anything.
I lived it, and this helps me. Thank you for making this. I cry every time I see this. I cant say thank you too much. Thank you for giving a fuck about us.
+Miguel Amado I watched this video twice a day for a week straight when I first saw it. I watch it every now and then just because it's such a powerful video, and I love all of our troops. I'm an army brat and have been for my entire life. This video either gives me chills or brings me to tears every time.
It took 5 times but I couldn't hold the tears back. My father, mother, aunt, uncle, grandpa, and a lot more of my family is military. So this song struck deep. My most sincere condolences to all of the homeless vets out there.
It kills me knowing the statistics, I know the head of Navy Safe Harbor and it kills him knowing that there are guys out there that with on phone call could have a world of support from his and other programs, but they're so hopeless that they end it all.
Its sad that the world has stupid fucks like you in it Mauro Maniago. My grandfather served in WWII and didn't kill a soul. In fact he was a neuro surgeon and saved his best friends life. So before generalizing the entire military force (that fights for your freedom and keeps your rights ) think a little bit. Not too hard though your pea brain might burst from new concepts and points of view.
Mauro Maniago Generalization is the beggining of fascism..and I hate fascism. Tomorrow, if China or Russia or North Korea attacks you, the army will protect you. So speak with respect for our army.
I'm not a veteran, but this makes me fall to pieces. For all of those whom lost their life in war, in the name of freedom, freedom for the rest of us, I say thank you. I can't even imagine what you been through, for the sake of the rest of us. For those that falled I say Godspeed, for the ones that lived through I say, forgive us, forgive our ignorence, forgive us for not seeing, forgive us for not listening, forgive me brothers and sisters. You are remembered, not forgotten.
My grandfather and brother are veterans (my brother still serves in the US as a Brigade Command Sergeant Major at Fort Benning as a dual USA/British citizen, and I am so very proud of him) and I too share your sentiments.
wow, i cried! this is a message that everyone needs to see!!!!

17 years active duty, 4 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. This song and video hits so freaking hard. I love this band so much for bringing awareness to the terrible and ignored issue with Veterans.

Why did they fight in Afghanistan and Iraq? Why are they killing Muslims?😪😪😪

Reading his lips as he says “You saved my life brother.” breaks me every time
Big Fact
Follow up appears to be "My turn now." Yup, always seems to be a huge dust storm when I watch this video, especially today. Thank a veteran today.
Always makes me tingle. Then I go cut onions to hide the feels.
My read was "You saved my life back there," followed by, "I'm sorry." Either way, my heart bleeds each time I watch this.
which minute?
I can almost guarantee that this song alone has done more to help raise awareness and money for veterans and homeless vets than our government has in 50+ years
I'd agree that it may have raised awareness, but the money to help has been sadly lacking. I am one of the many veterans that have experienced homelessness, and I'm soon to be in that same damn boat again. Our government has been so interested in enriching themselves that the ones who have kept their freedoms alive are merely an afterthought. It is sickening, and a sad commentary of this country.
I agree with that and like I've said before. There is absolutely no reason for any of our veterans to be homeless. Cold hungry, whatever this country should take care of our veterans, till the day they pass for free. We need to take care of our own first and stop worrying about the rest of the world. Take care of our own first cause. I aint nobody out there taking care of iris. That's something we should do. I'm an army veteran and then I'm blessed because I have a home. I have good insurand that is such a blessing. And it's a miracle in my life. I can't stand the fact that. I've entrance around the street. Some of them in the cold. Someone emptied it arms andelete some of them's brain. Are not right. There's a lot of things and they should NOT EVER BE WITHOUT. People don't realize this country without our soldiers and veterans. It's like heaven with no angels.
A lot of good men and women stand up for our way of life and everybody. We have now and our military branches are all volunteers. There's not been a draft since Vietnam. And I must say Vietnam veterans are not treated fairly. They're not treated right and that's a shame .
I thank you for your service and I just gotta say it's a d*** shame there's no reason ever for vete trains are elderly and are children to be hungry cold homeless wild people from other countries and nations come here. We take care of them. But what better own I'm a veteran as well. But I'm blessed that I do have a home. I have good insurance where I can do medical. And that is such a blessing in my life. I could not imagine not having some more light in my head. Not having a blanket to cover up me. In my little Fur baby, it's a d*** shine. Veterans should be taken care of 100% free for the rest of their life. Shouldn't have to worry about d*** thing. But as you said, our governments to worry about other s*** to worry about the ones who stood up. I still stand to protect our way of life. Thank you for your servi. Don't know where you're from but if I could help you I will

This song hits home hard. After Desert Storm I came home and went on with my life as a civilian, husband, and now a grandfather. I was walking one day and stumbled upon an old shipmate living on the street. I helped him get back on his feet and now he is doing the same for other Vets.
This song has one of the most powerful messages I've ever seen or heard.

Thank you for your service brother.
Thank you for your service brother and to all who lost their lives RIP
Thank u so much for ur service
Thank you for protecting my family and country. God Bless You.
As a vet, this video gets me in my feelings every time I see it. I have to watch it every time it's a suggested video. I can't just pass it.
This was ten year's ago, the number is staggering high today. Bless them all...
Yet I think I saw on Facebook a few months ago or last year a veteran said, unlike what Trump claims, Veterans haven’t had it any better (support wise for any of the problems listed in the video: homelessness, PTSD, etc.) then the past few years.
😢
and its about to get worse.
I Just cant understand ALL of this nonsense, If someome is that stressed and fearful of death injury and losing friends, why does he volunteer to do Exactly that in war????? Crazy thought to me
No matter how many times I see this, I tear up when the dude mouths "you know me. You saved me".
Gets me every time bro
Because deep down. You know thats god .. You know me..
Cryiiiiiiiiing Omg respect 😭😭😭🙏❤️✨
True
Every time I watch and listen I tear up.
To any veterans or current serving members of our military reading this, thank you. Regardless of how debated our presence in the Middle East has become, I for one will always support people that are willing to lay down their lives for others. Especially in this day and age where you receive so many insults from people sitting behind computer screens.
it doesnt matter where you stand politically, our troops/veterans need our support. the men and women of the armed forces are the most selfless and honorable individuals on the planet and have earned that respect through blood, sweat, fire, and tears. everyone needs to remember that freedom isnt free. Thank you Jade Hudson for your support.
wraith502 selfless, honorable? Yeah, right. I guess you forgot how the armed forces used to make fun of Iraqi's and piling them up naked and torturing them everyday right? Honorable my ass you deluded fool
TheSoufiane let us not forget what Iraqis did, and still do to their own people, and any who do not submit to their shariah laws.
TheSoufiane you sleep all safe and sound under the freedom that you are provided by these heros then criticize the methods by which it was obtained? take the oath, grab your gear and do the time, then you can criticize. ive done my time and would do it again. until you have walked in a soldiers boots, shut the fuck up troll!!
RandomHero Most Iraqis liked the laws they were living by and loved Saddam Hussein
As a veteran who served many a year, and a few boat trips to the gulf, this song brought tears to my eyes. Thank you 5FDP, for caring. It means a lot.

You have my utmost respect sir.
Thank you for fighting for my freedom
+Chapterhouse86 Thank You for your service!
+Chapterhouse86 Thank you for your service and dedication to protecting and defending our country.
Weather your ptsd is from war or from violence same difference we battle the same problem so let's work together at understanding each other through respect 🙏
Tread Lightly. PTSD is only scratching the Surface of the Totality of Veteran's Affairs and Issues!
I worked with a group of Veterans
Also opened my Home to watch over some whom needed the reassurance of a Friend Friend to watch over them during the difficult. Moments!
You don't understand what Veterans have gone through.
The soldier can leave the war, but the war won't leave the soldier
PTSD, it scars all of us. What ever horrible thing that happen to us that caused us to get PSTD, it kills us all the same. It eats us inside, sickening us, angering us, the more we feed it with what caused it stringer it gets, the stringer it gets the more we focus in it and feed it more.
It will eat us until we are but a husk.
You are never the same when you come back. I had a horrible time adapting to civilian life when I got back. People who’ve never been to war can’t understand how you don’t just shut it off like it never happened.
Coming home has been the scariest thing for me, I gave 6 years of my life and was thrown away like a gum wrapper. Atleast while on duty we had a purpose
@@aeromedical6750 how are we supposed to? We were trained for years to kill and survive and then get put into the civilian world with no help. My family is the only thing that keeps me going every day. You got this brother

True
My papa was in combat, and he struggled for years. Once the army was done with him when he got hurt he had no one. His mom had passed away, he never knew his dad. Years later and a wife to help and kids then grandkids he got better and had a family of his own. Once his wife died of cancer, his son, and a daughter his stress brought back his ptsd. Watching my papa play out memories of his battles, crying for men that he held while they died. It was utterly heart breaking. The army did nothing to help him, noDr's, no treatment, no help. They threw him out like a dog that lost in a dog fight. The army, navy and more only care about the person that can get the job done after that they are trash.
☹
"LOOK AT ME!
...you saved my life brother"
I could watch that a hundred times and it'd still make me cry.
Amen
The whole song is sad but most can agree that that was the saddest part.
ditto here brother
Me to
Such a powerful part it was perfect!!
Every day I walked to work wearing a suit and tie thinking how much my job sucked and how much I wish I had a better life, Then one day I sat down beside a homeless man who didnt have his hand out. Imagine how absurd I felt sitting there in a suit, then I listened to his story, and every day for two years I sat down beside my homeless friend Rowl. Rowl would not let me give him money. He wanted me to just listen. So I did. One day my friend wasn't there. I haven't seen him since. I miss my friend, and, more importantly I really appreciate his sacrifice for us. Thank you Rowl. I miss you brother... You have tough me that a simple act of kindness is the least we can do and often what we owe the people we ignore... We can be better....
You and your friend give me hope in humanity.
+Jim Akeson I cried watching this video.... ten minutes later, i calmed down.... then i cried AGAIN reading this comment.... i hope Rowl is in a better place yeah? (im not american btw)
+Jim Akeson Thats all veterans want is someone to just try to understand what they saw and had to do. I have befriended many vets and some dont want to talk about their experiences andd some do. The most important thing is just being there as a friend. God bless you for your simple act of kindness, we need more like you.
damn that's a sad story man
That's a very touching story. It's always nice hearing a story of someone actually being nice to the less fortunate. Sorry for your loss.
It's Veterans Day, 2019. Salute.
To all the RVN geezers - Welcome Home.
I wish you all the best,...
Remember the USS Liberty.
It's more depressing that's it's veterans day now
Suomalaane i’m not trying to sound mean to you I want to tell you a thing the US treats alot of veterans like a animal if the animal can’t be handeld then kill it don’t help it just ignore it I wish the US can get it’s brain cells together and treat their vets like gods and all countries should do that too so you respecting US to 100% maby you shouldn’t I mean it’s up to you but I wish vets are treated like gods because they are trying to eliminate the absolute mentally retarded people such as IS and many more criminal army organizasions that thinks killing and such is good so vets deserve so much more
❤
This song flipped my life and really immersed me in metal, I was sad depressed and in dissonance with myself and my identity 3 years ago, I was in car sitting on the backside and seeing a compilation of calisthenics workout and this song just had what really hit me home and I literally felt this grounded energy and zest towards life again, the will to fight for myself and everyone around me, ffdp gets a bad rep for this hard bro energy and lyrics but for me this is exactly what I needed to connect with my masculine core in this comfortable and emasculated world. All the love to these guys
That brought tears to my eyes. I am a Vietnam vet and was homeless and living out of my car. I met a man who owned a Chinese restaurant that fed me and encouraged me. Priceless. I am so grateful for my life, now.
There is people out there like me that believe you are a hero to so many. You're struggles are worth everything to so many. Love you brother!!
Liar
You are a hero man. How you guys were treated when you returned home was disgraceful. It is understandable how your health could easily deteriorate after being called baby killers etc. You're a patriot and I love all the Vietnam vets. Real bad asses. Thank you for your service.
My Brother, there are still people that love you and appreciate you and so many, many others answering the call for Our Great Country and for ever single one of all of us. You all are HEROES!!!!
Me too brother. Me too! Vietnam Era Veteran and not one iotta ashamed to say so.
"LOOK AT ME! You saved my life, brother."
That moment just gets me everytime. T_T
the moment where the officer notices the veteran's tattoo hits me every time
I'm not crying...........I'm just watering my beard.
I'm at pains to point this out but I think he says 'You know me', not 'Look at me'. Still a fucking amazing song, I'm not American, nor have I served, and this still hits me hard
"Eyes on me"
But yea, that must be when they start cutting onions...

@@johnarango9145 you couldn't be more wrong.We don't fight for government's or politicians they just send us we fight for our brothers and sisters alongside us determined to bring them home safely sadly a task that weighs heavily when you fail
@@NoNo-ng3nx if no one was there to protect you the biggest and strongest would take everything from you.Its called assurance of mutual destruction.Throughout time that's happened and if you think it wouldn't you're incredibly naive.An awful lot of people in power down the centuries were the archetypal schoolyard bully just on a bigger scale and the military are people who will stand up to protect people
In the British army we are a long way from being brainwashed.We have to think for ourselves at the lowest rank and are expected to understand the law of armed conflict along with a lot of other things that are integrated into core values
In the Balkans we stood between civilians and people carrying out the most awful atrocities during a civil war.What were we supposed to do just leave them to it?The things carried out were horrible,and we didn't stop everything,but we made a difference.Even in iraq the human rights violations by the regime were horrendous.I don't trust politicians anymore than you do but the only thing needed for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing
@@NoNo-ng3nx it may sound like that. But why do governments send soldiers to mali for example? Because local war and local terrorists destroy local civilians lifes and terrorists spread all the time. We send soldiers because other governments ask for our help and also if we wouldn't send troops out they would spread around the world more and more and it wouldn't be safe for you to be in home no matter where u live. See this is the thing. If we wouldn't send troops there wouldn't be noone to fight u said right? Well not all other countries are as civilised and Well organised. Some ppl are full of criminals and terrorists and u think they would stop spreading and killing just bc we don't sen troops there? No. That's the point

Try blocking out your emotions.
I appreciate this band more than I did prior to listening to this song. As an Army vet, I hope all my brothers and sisters know you are not alone.
the nation who forgets their veterans, will be the nation that is forgotten...
fire nation?
everything changed when they attacked
obi0914 exactly
so Americans will be first.
"the nation who forgets their veterans, will be the nation that is forgotten"
who forgets about their veterans most? americans, because they are not fighting for freedom. They fighting for politicians. Were they fucking ever invaded? fuck no. Everytime Americans are the fire starter...sry guys. I have nothing against you, you dont even know about it that you are being moved like chess pieces all over the world. Remember my words. You have nothing to do with it, you just the poor people that will be affected the most when rich men in your country will start everything. Mark my words for that. The war is coming ...maybe not to your country because you away but war is already on middle east, you taking part in it for resources , you do not fight for freedom there. BULLSHIT. War is in europe as well...not officially but is there. And war will come to you as well...once you wont be able to fight you will be forgotten because we are all only a pieces in rich people game. God Save the world !
I don't know who said it or what the EXACT quote was , but i remember hearing something just figured i'd share it.
*"Real soldiers don't fight because they hate what is in front of them, they fight because they love what is behind them"*
I want to be a soldier but I have autism so I can't but I support them and appreciate them
im on the spectrum too , but i dont like violence sooooo...
also because you said that for a split second i thought your name was "Clutch gods AUTISM trentham" not Austin ha
The way we handle veterans who need our help in this country is pathetic. I believe any veteran who has seen combat, should get there healthcare paid for, or at least a very very good plan, and a large amount of housing paid for as well.
But at the same time, it's horrible that young people don't know exactly what they are signing up for.
He/she gots it exactly right.
They fight for US interest,real veterans are iraquies,vietnamese,koreans,pakistani,syrians,cubans,libanon,lybia,ucraine people,serbs and croats and many others...becouse they FIGHT and RESIST for their MOTHERLAND and FATHERLAND againts imperialism,againts terrorism,againts colonialism,againts opression....today there is no patriotic veteran,just poor people used by imperialist Goverment.
This made me cry. I recently lost my father, a Vietnam Veteran. He was a good man who quietly struggled with PTSD all his life. Uncles, cousins, nephews - all veterans. All struggling. Most making it, some not. Pray for them all. God bless them.
No, he doesn`t. What have your father done? Attacked poor Vietnamese residents? Tyrant!
@@ttemik mate don't even
Sorry for your loss. My grandfather was a WWII veteran. My dad is a Vietnam veteran and my uncle who passed away was also a Vietnam veteran. I'm a veteran of the Afghanistan and Iraq war. PTSD is very real with no real help for it.
@@ttemik Don't blame the soldiers, they fought for what they thought was right. Blame the people who sent them there in the first place.
Sorry for your loss but this song/video should be broadcast on every single TV channel across America and then you and your American counterparts might do something about the problems and lies "the greatest country in the world" actually face,the statistics in the video are shameful,how can the richest country on Earth treat their veterans and citizens so poorly,wake up the only people in America getting anything from the richest country on Earth are the richest people

Lost a friend two days ago to suicide. A Navy vet with severe PTSD and depression. May Joe RIP! This song spoke deeply to my heart and what Joe went through. M own father was a Korean War vet who had nightmares the entire time I was growing up. War is hell and we owe our veterans so much more.
I'm so very sorry for your loss 😢
I feel your pain cuz I've lost friends the same way. My father was a a vet and his ptsd from Vietnam turned him into an abusive sadistic human being. He finally got a handle on it a few years before his death
I am so sorry for your loss! 🙏🙏🙏
my condolences
so ssd
I'm on my Dad's account. He volunteered for the Marine Corps during the Vietnam war. He passed on May the 13th of 2021. I dedicate this song to you, Dad...Ooraah.
Semper fi. Thank you to your father. May he rest in peace.
your Father was and is a HERO , anyone coming back from Vietnam alive was just very lucky... Oorah ! to your father, I recently lost a friend who also served with 82 airborne , he was an amazing man and I miss him dearly...
Thank you both for your kind words.
You're a good person. You're father would be proud.
R.I.P.
Big hug to you,stay strong.
OORAAH !!!!
I was a homeless vet for 3 years until I was rescued by an old flame. We broke up after living together for 7 years, but we're still living together and we're still best friends. I'll never abandon her. I'll never not take care of her. She's recently developed a severe disability and can't navigate down stairs or even take a shower without someone there to help her and I'll forever be that person as long as she wants. I'll never forget that she was there for me when I was at my lowest. I have a wonderful career and 2 college degrees because of her. All I needed was a helping hand and she gave me that and more.
Amen brother (:
damn my dad was 17 when he got into military he's going to finish his job in about 2 or 3 more years he is 36 now 20 years in military had a divorce but still comes home happy each and every day just to make me feel better I really love and appreciate him
After two years of posting this comment I got it all wrong. My mom is the one suffering and my dad is the piece of shit he doesn't treat us right and we have over 7 dogs. He buys shit food all the time when he can afford to feed us better and a lot of other very horrible things my dad really sucks. But I still have major respect for other veterans because they risked their life to protect.
I have to take back what I said again. I feel he cares about us he is just struggling, I talked to him today and it made me feel better.
As bad as I think we have it over here at least we got a house and food. I'm unsure of his character but he does want me succeed in life.
God saved your ASS ! Keep humble and appreciate what you got...Good on you son !
I have lived with a visually impaired person most of my life and i am proud for what i have given...She gave me a healthy , happy son who i adore and respect, for him being the great person he has become. Life is precious and enjoy your moments !
Merry Christmas and may God grant you a Happy New Year !
@@Mrbignutzful No, my roommate saved my ass, not god. She deserves the credit. No one made her save me.
@@mrwahoo9708 You 2 son, Merry Christmas and have a great New Year !
Where ever you are Sadhbh, whatever your doing, I think about you every time I listen to this song and I always hope you are okay. Thanks for opening up to me brother, your always in my thoughts.
Much love, your fellow guild mate
A lot of people say the saddest part is the end, but I really think when the vet is getting arrested and how is he on the verge of tears (accompanied by captions saying ``A veteran doesn`t understand why his sacrifice went unappreciated) was what nearly got me.
It`s also sad how the father Veteran never got any justice, the arrested vet gets empathy from the cop (who was also a vet or atleast served with his unit), the black Vet (no better way to describe him, unfortunately) meets up with the vet that saved his life, and might have helped him get his life on track.
The father veteran is left sitting in the street, crying over his lost daughter.
I agree
yes.
so is life, and the black vets name is Jacoby.
+Hans Abrams i believe the reason they are crying is because he is getting support and help.
+Hans Abrams And it's a fucking music video to, don't think many whould get any justice at all.
I cannot watch this without tearing up.
If you can't then you're a monster.
B. Adams me too
it doesnt bother me
why doesn't it bother you, so many men out there are committing suicide because of poverty, we should do something about it
it just doesnt
" ...DIDN'T YOU KNOW ME..... YOU SAVED MY LIFE BROTHER.." ... the feels
Good job,
yes the feels
+HIchąm BouJąrrą where?
Caineghïs 4:19 read the lips..
ok thanks, now i cry :')
Thks for you work!
The "You saved my life, brother" gives me chills and never fails to make me sob
Kontra, NVa,,,,
I cry every time that part comes up
I love when he says "u know me"
"You saved my life brother", and then "you're going to be OK". Roll back in the video... both men say the same words to each other at different times. Also, operater grabs Jacoby by the lbv and moves him. Jacoby grabs operator in the same way and rescues him!
Your brother is a hero. Always in my ❤
4:39 “Tears shed for another person are not a sign of weakness. They are a sign of a pure heart.”
one of the most profound things i have ever read !!
The truth is in the 62k Dislkes....wow....just fucking wow.. :(
What if a pure heart is a weakness?
A man with a pure heart is not frivolous person. Truth,justice makes people much stronger and obliges them to do what they must to do. Only fools hesitate.
Jó napot vítéz magyar, remélem jól érezzük magunkat.
As a combat veteran I can honestly say the lyric "I'm no hero and I'm not made of stone" hits so hard. People have called me a hero, I'm no hero and sometimes my PTSD is so crushing I cry so the "I'm not made of stone" lyric is spot on.
That part does hit hard. When people assume you have no emotion, it's easier to assume we don't need support. To me that line is saying in essence "I hurt". Which is something no one wants to admit. The fortunate side is acknowledging the pain leads the way to finding a way to heal.
I never saw combat but as a sailor and fellow veteran, I'd like to thank you for your service.
@@skaels Thank you for yours as well brother
I think people have a lot of respect for the sacrifice made by service men/women. For them saying you're a hero is, maybe, an inadequate way of expressing a profound gratitude of the self sacrifice that you chose for everyone else.
Brother from one to another I thank you for your service to the world.
Our own government and some of our own citizens may not care. But your brothers and sisters in uniform appreciate what you gave up and sacrificed to keep the world a little safer.
You stood strong for all of us who needed you. Thanks for your service. No one is stone god bless you for being strong enough to stand for us. Also to all who served best wishes!!
It still disgusts me how we treat our veterans.😿
Agreed
“A true soldier doesn’t kill because he hates what’s in front of him, but because I loves what’s behind him”
A true solder is just a robot programed to kill while the people who started the wars almost never die in battle.
@@brazilpaes you are both kinda right.
If u can tell me what does an American ,, warrior " protect behind his back , I'll be more than happy to be enlightened . They never had any wars on their territory ( except the civil one , which doesnt count cause its between them ) :/
I just got one thing to say to the people who say our military cares about each other and they care about our country so have respect for our military they are not making decisions our government is. So show respect for our soldiers and our flag. Go ahead and hate me I don't care what you think. I care about our military people!!!
Sorry to break it to you, but your wars are started mostly to protect the US petro-dollar relationship and to maintain USD as the worlds reserve currency, which allows your greed-driven privately-owned banking corporations to print as much money as the need, much of which is used to fund your over-bloated military force. The sausage sizzle is sold to the public in the name of patriotism, and the people that serve in the military are disposable collateral damage.
About a month and a half ago, my boyfriend committed suicide. He was a veteran. He suffered from PTSD. He rarely talked about his time in the service, but it was something his family and I always knew affecting him more than we could ever understand. I’ve always loved this band. I’ve even seen them live. Thank you for this. Veterans deserve better help and support. My boyfriend deserved better help after serving. Thank you for this song. The video was hard to watch, but still worth it.
I’m so sorry for your loss 😞
Sorry to hear about that. I was Desert Shield/Storm and came home broken too, spent a lot of time homeless, hopefully you can resolve this in your life. It wasn't your fault.
God bless you people have no idea
You lost your hero and best friend in bravery you caring his life with in with thoughts and prayers for all of you,
Thank you 🙏
Prayers to you and yours.

This video actually made me cry, I am a veteran of the Iraq war and this video is very special. Thank you.
7711sammy thank you for your service, I'm a very much appreciated for what you and others did for the rest of us civilians.
7711sammy i salute you, thank you for your service.
7711sammy If what you say is true, I salute you sir. As a patriotic beer drinking, gun owning, U.S of A loving American I WANT to see our troops taken care of.
thanks sir for serving in our country.If you are telling the truth i respect you and anyone else that has fought in a war and understand that ppl go crazy of what they see. Even tho my grandpa didn't go crazy i still respect him bc he fought in veitnam war. Thanks to everyone that fought for our country.
7711sammy thank you for your service, and for securing a safe free future for me.
This took on a whole new meaning this month. Everything we fought and died for in AFG wiped away in 11 days.
Yup
You fought and died for nothing, congratulations on another lost war thousands of km away from home.
Not only your veterans are forgotten... The USSR second world war veterans, Afganistan soldiers, Chechnya's war veterans today living poor and unusefull life. Not all, but there are enough of them. So, lets make pease, no war! Greetings from Belarus!
That was not in vain, Lori.
the old do the talking and the young do the dying ..................... and the 1% still win
u earned urself a fan from Botswana, Africa. Love this. greatness has no boundaries
This is one of the few things that brings tears to my eyes. I dont normally cry, but this one does it for me
Me too
me to
I was thinking the same thing
Me too!!!! Especially at the end
any real man would..
This makes me cry every time...this is what true music means to me..emotion, truth and fighting for a cause and bringing awareness to people
Right. I wish more Americans felt the way you do :/
true... it is like the green mile; it gets you in your inner core , especially if you was in the war , mine was the balkan war in 92'
This right here. Good discription of great music!
This song make me cry too man I had family in the military t and the military don't treat the people who surved this country with respect
Shut up.
Damn this song just cuts deep. Not a serviceman or woman. But it gets the tears flowing every time. God bless our servicemen and women. And god bless everyone in the comments sharing their stories!
This song really is deep. I mean, I'm European, so the facts in this video and the listed organizations don't apply, but the message still does come across. We need to take care of the people who give everything up for others.
I feel every word
This is one easy way I've lost hope in our people
Joining the armed forces of america was the worst decision ive ever made. If you are watching this and you are thinking of this path, please reconsider.
God bless? Every war its bc of your god.
You guys are my favorite singer you and you guys have the best song ever
As a Navy vet, I took this video with great joy, and sorrow. Joy that groups such as FFDP would put it out like that. And sorrow that idiotic networks like MTV and the news group by NOT showing this to the masses and youth and showing them the plight of what is going on with the Vets of today that need help!
51 million have heard this message :)
Fuck Mtv
+timabuf and that does not only happen at USA....all countries are the same crap with people that protect them...but they have no problems getting some extra funds...as well as it is disguised as a good action......

I would NEVER forsake a Veteran! I LOVE them and I appreciate their commitment and sacrifice for our freedom and way of life!
you say that but have you done anything to help them?

Nah
not every one can do something he might barley be off the streets
So why is he criticizing then?

I am a vet and almost became homeless. If it wasn't for my girlfriend's mom letting me live with them and get back on my feet, I would have became homeless. I listened to this song so many time before watching this video. And while watching this, I had a hard time focusing on the music because the subtitles and focusing on the expressions of these veterans really got to me. I liked the ending because there are a few amount of people that would help a homeless person, vet or not, off the street like that. When those 2 people locked eyes....
Edit: Well sadly we recently gotten divorced(married for 12yrs and together for 16yrs). It’s been rough for me lately.
She seems to regret what she did but is struggling financially. I’m only struggling mentally. I didn’t have just my heart crushed….it was shattered. Last few months I’ve been having to pick up the pieces to become what I’ve been training to be. Now all I do is work, workout, play video games and watch anime. Anything to keep my mind busy. But at night….when I sleep….its quiet and my mind wonders 😢😭
Thank you for your service. Because of your sacrifice I am safe.
You're a great man,sir.
they were in the same squad too if you payed enough attention. An ANY veteran out there thank you for all the hard work and all the sacrifices you had to make to keep this country safe.
Yeah, I already knew they were battle buddies from the same squad.
Thank you, I've never met you but you risked your life for the sake of my safety. Regardless of the abuses our government uses soldiers to conduct, we cannot abandon our own fellow man.
Awesomeness
“In life sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons.”
Ain't that the truth
The truth hurts like a bitch.
True, sadly enough. Reminds me of a verse from a Tim McGraw song called Beautiful People...."A wrinkled Old man wearing medals that he earned on Omaha Beach, saying good-bye to a grandson that was killed outside Tikrit."
Death always finds a way into a broken heart you have to be strong no matter how lost you feel without your father's or mothers or sons or daughters
Its in peace not in life you noob.
6 years later and I still can't watch it without some damn dust flying in my eye.
i cant explain but i feel the same
Yeah, me too mate..
@h Jennings Got ya back Bro XX I am still alive . lol a sure 7.62 round slr is kinda accurate through brick walls . Bless you all and love you . That rifle has my name and number thank you sir . .
Yes... and goosebumps. The song and music video always hit me hard.
:...(
Watching this in 2019 and still getting teary-eyed every time.
I also cry when I watch this. I have known many veterans who were homeless. It's very heart breaking. I knew a guy who was constantly getting in trouble with law and was homeless. Noone didn't help inform him of his VA benefits. He went to mental health hospital constantly and it still makes me sad when I think of him. The non va system failed him.
Thank you for doing this . Thank you from my dad,rip . Thank you for bringing light to the darkest place on earth. Bless all the soul-ders who fight for me ...every single one of you are my heros.
in war.. don't pick a side.. nobody wins.
My dad was a big drinker and abuser. I struggled with building relationships after I moved out. Took away my self worth. I soon drowned in the darkness and became my father. I became the man I promised. I would never become. I picked up that bottle and couldn’t let it go. Almost pushing away all my family and loved ones. I put that bottle down 10/19/22 and have made the changes. To being the father, son, and husband and friend my father could never become. I’m grateful that I was able to overcome my addiction. And get the help I needed. Thank you for the song. Really helps keep me motivated to keep pushing. 1 day at a time.
Congratulations Austin! The song that hits me the most is The Tragic Truth. Don't know how many times I woke up on the bedroom floor in my own vomit. My family went through it watching me go through it. I sent that video to my mother and it brought her to tears. She remembers
gj man .... continue like that , take the full control in your hands
One day at a time for sure. That bottle is like a loaded M9 with the safety off for me. I can’t do it anymore because seizures have become a common occurrence. Once your body gets to that point, it’s only a matter of time until the liver is past the point of repair. Scary stuff.

As a disabled veteran from the army this always hits home every time. It took me 10 years after separation to finally start getting seen by the VA here in MN. Even after that though I still see my brothers and sisters fall through the cracks of our system. The biggest thing that helps a vet suffering from PTSD and other mental illnesses is just having a simple talk.

Srsly u call to murderers "humanity"?
Its sad that the world has stupid fucks like you in it Mauro Maniago. My grandfather served in WWII and didn't kill a soul. In fact he was a neuro surgeon and saved his best friends life. So before generalizing the entire military force (that fights for your freedom and keeps your rights ) think a little bit. Not too hard though your pea brain might burst from new concepts and points of view.
Mauro Maniago Generalization is the beggining of fascism..and I hate fascism. Tomorrow, if China or Russia or North Korea attacks you, the army will protect you. So speak with respect for our army.
The burning sensation in the nose and then the tears that follow, can't just stop, it's so powerful beyond just emotions!
I'm not a veteran, but this makes me fall to pieces.
For all of those whom lost their life in war,
in the name of freedom,
freedom for the rest of us,
I say thank you.
I can't even imagine what you been through,
for the sake of the rest of us.
For those that falled I say Godspeed,
for the ones that lived through I say,
forgive us,
forgive our ignorence,
forgive us for not seeing,
forgive us for not listening,
forgive me brothers and sisters.
You are remembered, not forgotten.
bigbzon Thank you. It means more to us than you can ever understand. To have someone actually give a damn..

My grandfather and brother are veterans (my brother still serves in the US as a Brigade Command Sergeant Major at Fort Benning as a dual USA/British citizen, and I am so very proud of him) and I too share your sentiments.
Thank you
Words often not spoken are not remembered. Godspeed.
