I'm a 25-year veteran, pilot, Colonel. Every time I hear this song and watch this video I feel guilt, shame and sorrow. Not for something that I've done but for the struggles and solitude that is prevalent in many as they try to find their place in society and put their lives back together following their very honorable service. The lifetime sacrifice that many have made is really inconceivable. They worked incredibly hard, faced unbelievable challenges, endured so much mental and physical pain and served our country and its people to the absolute best of their abilities. I come to tears every single time I hear this and I am crying as I type. FFDP are such a strong supporter of our military and I love them for that (plus their music and message is so good). I post this video on my Facebook every single memorial and veteran's days. If you could, please don't just thank a Vet but try to help a Vet when able. It makes a difference.
That is kind of you to say. Unfortunately, there really is no way to quantify the impact it has on individuals. I went to Basic Training in 1984. A time of relative peace in America. Turns out, that wasn't a correct assumption on my part. There is conflict everywhere all the time. I joined to get free college. I served to keep as many people as I could alive. Two very different things.
I’m crying just reading your testimony. I’m a combat vet is tragic and says maybe all of us who are capable would do it all over again. Thank you for sharing your story. And please, please above anything else get rid of that guilt. You don’t deserve that. Your dedication and selflessness to our country for 2 1/2 decades your better than that please get rid of it and thank you so much for your extensive dedication and commitment.
As a disabled combat veteran, thank you for this reaction. I wish more people could see these statistics. I lost more guys when we got home than in combat. So far it hasn't gotten easier. Thank you to all who my fellow soldiers.
I think being a 70 year old suffering vet every day no one understands or cares. Thank god for the VA and country music and people like you.god bless Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou
I'm only 42 Kevin but you know that myself and thousands of others got your six brother. I'm retired Coast Guard. All my dad and his brothers were Vietnam veterans. They all made it back.
Thank you sir for your time fighting for this country..I salute you. Dont know what side you fall on but I'm ready for Trump to take the wheel again.! He actually cares about America! And or you... five finger death punch is such a great band in that they not only raise awareness but also donate alot. They are truly supporting the troops more than our government! Wtf ?
No shame in that. It just profs you are a human being with empathy. This song is so deep and hard hitting, that it transfers from the realm of music, into gut punching reality check ...
"GONE AWAY" by Five Finger Death Punch is another great military tribute. "COMING DOWN" by Five Finger Death Punch is another great song with a powerful message.
@@davidward9737 I agree, I grew up with the original version, it's still my favorite. I think FFDP did a great job with the video and message of what our soldiers go through.
@@scanau1 they did a amazing job. I think the original should be given props, especially when I was choosing to chop white power going to a Metallica concert when they sing about Master of Puppets
Hardest two years of my life was when I separated from the army after 10 years, suicidal and suffering from PTSD (still do, always will) but my girlfriend at the time; wife now, convinced me to seek help and I urge my brothers and sisters to also seek help.
You bro thank you for your service not many people think you guys enough or do enough for you guys I have a friend Jojo she's deployed right now we all miss her so hopefully she comes back safe
As a danish veteran I want to thank you for sharing the message. We have a lot of the same problems here ind Denmark, thought on a smaller scale than the US.
I loved the Danish PX at Camp Bastion/ Leatherneck. Best candy available in Afghanistan! Not to mention the axe throwing games they would hold. Take care.
Never matters where you serve or the perceived scale of service or sacrifice, if you've served your country and the cause of freedom you're a hero, PERIOD!! God bless you my friend, from another Yank!!
IT'S OUR DECEPTIVE GOVERNMENTS & ELECTED OFFICIALS CAUSING THESE WARS. It say says so in the Good book if you know what I mean. ? They are putting us in harms way Not Theirs!!!!
Thanks Sabina! As a vet, this MV draws tears every time. I count myself lucky to have survived my career largely intact? But have known and seen many of my comrade brothers suffer, fall and succumb. This video shines a bright light on our country's failed promise to care for our vets. The saying goes... "All gave some. Some gave all." We give away our personal morals for "the greater good" of our country and our democracy. But when we move past our military service, reconciling our actions in and for the military with our personal morals, often highlights the contradiction we cannot resolve. We suffer for our actions by our guilty conscience and become a prisoner to that contradiction. We struggle to block out the images that we helped create and relive the horrors over and over. The nightmares make us uncomfortable to be around and the mental health conditions that result make us intolerable for the community. We become bitter, homeless and volatile...and often take our own lives to escape the pain of a broken soul. Broken and used up by the country and military, we're cast aside as an expendable commodity and rarely referred to until election cycles begin again.
I am so proud of our heroes, and so ashamed of our government, for how they have not taken care of our broken warriors. Politicians send our soldiers to fight in wars but never have an objective, and then no exit plan. This video breaks me every time. Love your heart.
War is hell. And those who step into hell and come back out of it are scarred. Much respect to you for your reaction and to the band for their message and support.
thank you so much for your reaction. i'm a combat veteran and have lost my marriage, my house and everything to my PTS. I've been fortunate enough to be able to start to build my life again over the last couple of years but every day is a struggle. Again, thank you for your heartfelt reaction to such an important song. "You saved my life, Brother" will always get me. That's real. The statistics have only gotten worse. there are many more homeless vets on the streets and the number of veteran suicides has about doubled to about 1 per hour. this has to stop
Thank you for watching this video. This message should be seen by everyone. I lost 2 brothers while I was in and 3 more after we got out and it never gets easier. Semper Fi to all my warrior brothers and sisters out there. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC
My father served 23 years in an anti-terrorist force and has been in different wars, I have been living with his PTSD problems since I was a child, and I know how hard it is for the family unit, it was broken 20 years ago losing my mum, friends and colleagues took their lives, but he despite everything, he continues to fight, we really continue to fight, even if sometimes it is hard. Thank you for this sincere reaction Sabina, men also need to cry sometimes. Your video makes me feel like I don't do it alone.
As a U.S. Army veteran, pre-9/11, this is one of my favorite songs and videos. I can't watch it without feels and tears. I know how much of a brother/sisterhood the military. I feel deeply for all of those coming back, messed up by service related issues, both seen and unseen. There is nothing that I would love better than to pick every one of them up and help them stand on their own, but I've had trouble keeping a job, too, and for the last 9 years I've been relying on family and I have been so blessed to have them. I wish and pray blessings and love on all my brothers and sisters out there, no matter what country.
This is powerful. From what I hear, this song describes the less than respectful way in which army veterans who have served are treated post discharge. Many soldiers suffer from PTSD or have difficulty in adjusting to life outside of the armed forces, and end up homeless. Overall, it seems to be a description of how badly some soldiers are treated. We have a similar problem here in the U.K. A song packed with emotion. Great choice of song for the channel…a bit of awareness never hurts. Looks like you received the message loud and clear. Nice one.
@@sabina1118 what particularly irritates me (assuming that this happens in every country and therefore also in mine) is that it never happens that politicians and administrators have economic problems while citizens often have ...... for the first ones the funds are never lacking
actually its veterans in general, look at the ending where one vet tells the other "you know me, you saved my life brother" and then picks his brother up and helps carry him. This is fundamentally what every veteran does for his brothers and sister regardless of branch of service. As a Marine I consider every Soldier Sailor Airman and Guardsman my brother or sister, we have always had each others six both in uniform and out of it. In the states our nation has a habit of brushing aside its veterans and their needs both during service but especially after going all the way back to the civil war were Soldiers Sailors and Marines literally had to camp out in front of the Whitehouse and Capital building to force the government to uphold the promise and obligation it made to those who served and Veterans have had to take similar actions after almost every war or conflict the politicians got us into. The citizenry either doen't know or doesn't care and it shows in their ability to tie a yellow ribbon around a tree one day and like the government forget about us when we are no longer viewed as needed.
Thank you so much. It's no different around the world regardless what nationality you are.. I have served my country/UN and I suffer from PTSD, all I got was a pat on the shoulder and was told that you'll be fine. All my brothers in arms around the world fight for you and your kin... for your peace... Would I do it again? Yes! Without a doubt. That's our love for mankind. A few years ago I met a US vet from Vietnam while working security in a pub, he came up to me and rather bluntly asked where and how long.. I guess it takes one to know one... I cried when I got home that night.. We still to this day keep contact. Again thank you.
A Soldier Sailor Airmen or Marine recognizes a brother in arms regardless of nationality, Especially those who have walked through the fires of hell. Semper Fi brother God speed and God bless
Thank you for your reaction to this song, and for letting the organizations show at the end. I know that it means a lot to me and I am sure that it does for other veterans as well.
This message is universal. All veterans from around the world suffer the same way. Being a combat veteran who suffers from ptsd this hits hard. God bless to you and my brothers and sisters around the world
Thank you for reacting to this song, Sabina. I am a military vet, as well as my brother. We both have dealt with suicide and depression. My brother, a US Marine, also deals with PTSD. I have saved my brother's life, as there was a dark time where he wanted to pull the trigger. Too often, my brothers and sisters who serve take their own lives, because of the pain they've gone through. I hope that one day, we can truly help those that have given everything they have to serve, so that those that come home have the help they truly need. Again, Sabina, thank you for reacting to this song. It means more than you know. #EndThe22 #EndThe5000
Sabrina I’m a Australian Veteran who has for many years from War I have PTSD your reaction to this was astonishing and made me cry not because of my issues it’s your response was so raw and so beautiful to see you think in that moment of truth and hit you in the heart, beautiful beautiful beautiful reaction ❤
My uncle was a hard, hard core alcoholic. After WW2 he started his own bakery. Told my Aunt that he was a cook in the Army. That’s why he wanted to start a bakery after the war. She always just thought he was a drunk. After he died, my brothers helped her go through his things. We found out he had been awarded the bronze star for bravery. His own wife for 53 years never knew he was a combat veteran.
FFDP music is literally about bringing message and awareness to everyone that people need help. Another very powerful one you should check that they did is called, "Coming Down". It hits home for me because of what it's about. When you have time, watch it :)
I tear up every single time I see this videos!! We do not recognize our veterans enough. They give everything to keep us all free!! This is a big reason I live Five Finger Death Punch!!!
I´m not a veteran myself, but plenty of my relatives served in WW2 , Vietnam , Irak etc, so let´s never forget the sacrifice and the service they´ve given and just be kind to them , all of them always support vets , greetings, thankyou for your service
My great grandfather, who I've not been able to meet before he passed away, fought against the Russian Soldiers in WWII. But since World War 2... I don't think we had any soldiers going to war. I feel so lucky being in such a country, but also feel helpless seeing what happens in other countries. I hope it'll get better. Wishful thinking, I know, but I have no chance to actually help. I cried a lot during this MV

Five Finger Death Punch are huge supporters of the military and first responders. The do a terrific cover of “Blue On Black” and the video they made is in support of Gary Sinise’s foundation for first responders. FFDP are first rate guys. 🤘
Your reaction was so eloquent and on point. Thank you for doing this and helping to get the word out about what can be done to support veterans. Not just US vets but any vets around the world. Our training differs from nation to nation, but the impact of combat is the same. The effect that this video had on me was somber and poignant at the same time. I did have the benefit of living this reality for quite a few combat deployments as an Infantryman, so the subject matter is easily identified and related to. God bless.
Beautiful and emotional song. No other country in the world respects their veterans better. We are not perfect, never will be. There is only one perfect. Articulate and sincere analogy. Dry your tear, there still are many warm and giving hearts.
I have seen this video 50+ times and I cry every time. I was in the Navy and never faced combat, but I have lost brothers after and during their time in the service. It will never make sense to me. We need to do better for our veterans. Thank you for letting the numbers run at the end of the video.
Remember everyone if you meet a veteran thank them for their service. If you made a veteran who served in Vietnam. Thank them for their service and welcome them home.✊🙏🇺🇸
Loved your reaction. This is a powerful video that everyone should see. It’s awful that the best and bravest members of humanity go through what they do with little to no support from the rest of us. It’s absolutely disgusting that so many people out there play the victim card over the pettiest crap out there when they don’t understand what REAL pain and loneliness is.
This is the most if not one of the most powerful music video/ lyrics combination I have ever seen. I’ve watched this video and listening to this song probably over 100 times over the years and I still get just as emotional.
Wooooow! This video describes every feeling post war. As argentinian I feel it ,and it hurts. Days ago, some veterans from Malvinas war talked about their experiences in schools to commemorate 40 years of Malvinas war. They commented on every lived moment as it is shown in the video. There is a special scene, the girl with the flower and her mother's attitude. It reminds me nearly 1986, 87s when I was child and saw some veterans from Malvinas war asking for money in the steeets, they have no Jobs. Indeed they were desciminated not only for their mental condition post war, but also becausr they werenot protected. As a young girl I considered that situation awful and sad. Today my feeling is that war had no sense. Many young unexperienced kids, were sent to an useless war without any suport from our government and moreover , the state has abandoned them post war , and THAT hurts more. I am so proud of our heroes, and so ashamed of our governments and Politicians. God bless to those heroes who died in battle and their souls stay in the Islands, to those Who commited suicide after the war because of the cruel polítical system in our country which hasn't given them protection and support , and to those who came back from war and tought us that life continues, still when the results were not in justice. Thanks to them because they show us the way to stand up, face the World, enjoy life, smile again, and choose the peace. I'm proud of them.
This song hits close to home, two siblings served in our military. One worked in a hospital that took care of soldiers with PTSD & other problems. The other was an officer in the US Army. I have friends that still suffer from PTSD from Vietnam! Glad you chose to feature this song!
I am not a veteran, I suffer from PTSD and was looking for songs that spoke to what I was going through. I was a witness to an active shooting, was three feet away from the gunman when he fired six shoots. I almost didn't make it through this video the first time when I saw the soldiers getting shot. It kind of brought me back to the shooting I had witnessed. It has now been nearly eight years since the shooting and this is one of my go to songs when I start to go through a PTSD attack. I can't watch it without tearing up. Shalom.
Wow. All I did was stare at your eyes I've seen reactions to this video countless times. But I saw a empath right from the start and waited to see when you would cry in empathy. Bless you sister! You are not alone. This is our calling for this life. It's always hard but it's always worth the lives you help!
just wanted to say thank you for showing the ENTIRE video, i am a combat veteran, was an 89D for 22 of my 25 years in the U.S Army, know many brother and sisters who never made it home, watch the video Gone Away, by Five Finger Death Punch, this will also explain where a lot of veterans are in their mind set.
A "Reaction Video" done right - The fact you didn't pause at any point to put your two pence worth in and break the immersion, but put it in subtitles made the reaction SO much more genuine. Thank you for that
Thank you for your very real reaction. The numbers are greater now then when the video was made. I can not ever get thru this ever without tears. Mr wife and I are army vets and 8 years ago my wife took her own life, it was two weeks after our youngest graduated high school. She just couldn’t deal with the pain anymore. 22 veteran a day and my heart breaks everyday from it, there is not a day in 8 years that, not one that it isn’t thought about by me. I am proud of her service, broken that she is gone, and will never forgive myself for not seeing some sign that day that could have stopped her.
I am a Irak veteran...and like my comrad Jerry miller said....a lumb in my throat......i had to deal with PTSD.....been in a mental hospital for two years... re-entered normal life....and am working doing a normal job.....most of the organisations in holland realy help....(forgot to tell ...original from holland..now living in belgium)...but i also had so much help from my friends and family..... thank you for this reaction Sabina.....
Hi,guys and vets all over the world!I'm speachless and everytime i cred when i see this video!For all of my heart and soul ,thanks FFDP!I wish the best for all vets all over the world!!!
welcome home and thank you for your service. I served (and learned a lot of important lessons) with Nam vets early in my career. Had it not been for the Nam vets those lessons would have been learned the hard way. I owe Nam vets a lot.
@@oif3vetk9 You really don't owe us anything we both served and in a way said im giving you my life don't waste it. Thank you we both did the honerable thing
When I was at Ft. Lewis outside Seattle, every other weekend was a march for the troops or a march slandering us as killers and oppressors. And this was in 2013. We felt like garbage men. Only noticed when we failed or some group of uneducated (scholars) wanted to wait until war was in the USA. I agree that the band has used the platform well, and you help keep awareness alive. We are truly thankful!
This was my first visit to your channel, but certainly not my last, as I hit the sub button the moment your video was done. As another person commented, Gone Away would be an excellent choice for another 5FDP song. Assuming you do wish to donate to one of the organizations helping veterans, may I suggest looking at the DAV (Disabled American Veterans). My father, a Vietnam vet, got a great deal of help and support from them and now works with the guys from Iraq and Afghanistan.
What really got me was the mother who jerked her daughter away from the vet when she was handing him a flower. He was holding the picture of his own daughter he lost to divorce. I am a 20 year retired veteran. I was in during 'Nam and Iraq. My second son went to Afghanistan and is on disability now and his daughter, (my oldest granddaughter) went to Kuwait and other parts of the middle east. She is now a government contractor. My dad served in the tank Corp in WW2 and ended up medically retired, and I had an Uncle who spent his whole life in a Veterans Hospital due to traumatic brain injury from WW2. I have PTSD and depression. I was gone for the birth of two of my 4 kids. Divorced after 18 years.
One of the FFDP Band members fought in the U.S. Military. They're are a Great supporter of Military Vets served. Listen to their version of "Bad Co."!!! It's Awesome!!
I am a fan of five finger death punch, I love this song, but I cried twice when I saw your reaction, it's beautiful to look at a woman as sensitive as you. New subscriber to your channel.
@ sabina Thank You for reacting to this video. I'm a veteran and used to be homeless myself (not any more. I got a good job and doing well). The issues in this song are real. Music reactors like You bring awareness to this. Those of you who read this if you know a veteran one of the best things you can do to help them is be a friend. The military is a brother/sisterhood. If is deliberately trained into you from day 1. Veterans miss that deep connection to their peers when they leave the military. Provide that for them and many of the problems addressed in this video will be solved. Thank you again for reacting Sabina. It raises awareness.
thankyou for this video. my grandfather is a vet. he was shot in the shoulder like in this video, but other than scar he came back and carried on (he just turned 80). His brother (my uncle) also came back but ptsd got him...he took his own life.
You are very inciteful and compassionate in your reactions. I love the fact that you use text on the screen to communicate your thoughts. And your breakdown/analysis/reaction after each video is from the heart. I sincerely appreciate what you do. I'm new here and have only seen a few of your vids. I will see many more. Thank you. Subscribed!
My wife and I are vets. While we were in, I had one friend end his own life, and another give it his best try. The MP who arrived kept him alive by brute force until they got him to a hospital. He's one of my best friends to this day. The shit is real.
Thank you wery many! FFDP has many great veteran videos. I was In the military but fortunately on peaceful times but both my grand fathers fought twice against Russia and once against the Germans and they never recovered. Back then there were absolutely no help for a whole generation of Men and families. Hundreds of thousand people had To leave their homes for ever.
The stories told in the video are powerful. If you think about it, the guy who lost his wife and kid (to divorce) is the saddest of the lot. The one guy was recognized by the cop... that might become an avenue for help. The one guy's wearing a suit, he's getting by. The leader's been found by his old brother, the one he saved.... but the poor bastard still holding his daughter's photo. . . he's all alone.
If I remember correctly at least one of the band members is a military veteran. The whole band is supportive of the military and the veterans. The video of a song that they cover is also done with soldiers. It is called Bad Company. The song was originally done by a different band but Five Finger Death Punch did their version of it and made the video of them spending time with the military
I'm right there with you. I cry Every single time I watch this! And Gone Away. For you to react this way shows you're a caring compassionate person. And watch them Live I gave great Show! They tour near you I'm sure.
One of my favourite songs of theirs, thank you for reacting to this one. The message this song brings needs to be spread the world over, to bring attention to these poor veterans who gave their lives for their country.
You are awesome. I am a man, standing over six feet and I felt the same as you the first time I watched it. Yes, tears as well. this video is a wakeup call for all. I will click like on this video.
This song is an emotional punch in the chest but it's message needs to be blasted from the roof tops. Our Veterans deserve so much more. We are failing them, when they sacrifice all the have for us.
Great reaction. Liked. The detail goes further than you think. They portrayed the 4 types of citizen that typically joins the service in the USA besides just the common 'serve your country' that they all have. The guy with the beard is special forces. That's why he has different attire & facial hair, to blend with the area he's deployed. He's the team leader, the specialist. Jacoby, the black guy, joined to advance his life. Schooling & other things to get ahead after service. The father with the need to make a better world for his child & the gung ho guy that joined to be a part of something & see some action. They work closely with soldiers & veterans on these to make them as real as possible. They use all veterans & veterans families in these as well. They never hire just any actors for these. They have to be military or former military. Ironically, none of the band members have served but have family that did.
I did 6 years in the Air Force as a PJ (pararescue). I saw the worst of humanity in Afghanistan and I saw the worst of humanity when the United States government dumped us off like trash after they used us up. The only reason I’m still here today is because my my wife who stuck it out through the alcoholism, the violent outbursts, and the long recovery after war. PTSD is a bitch and my wife saw my struggles and now works as a private psychologist who helps veterans come back home from war since she saw how helpless I was. This song is so powerful, and I’ve seen three of the men I’ve served with, 1 of whom took a bullet, on the side of the road in a tent and 1 of those men took his own life. The population of the United States had zero understanding of what war is and what war does to you. I thank god everyday that I came home with all my limbs.
Hello beautiful souls, as a Vet to all the Men and Women who served in the Military Living Or Died.. I would like to tell you all I love you and thanks for your Contribution and God Bless You all for being my Hero
Im a Vietnam veteran and ended up being devorced losing touch with my 3 kids spent 4 years on the street where people talked to me all the time to get help but took me 40 years before i finally did at 72 im still fighting it
These guys are amazing. I will always support 5FDP as they support our country and military. Big thank you to anyone who has served🤘 Gone Away is another epic song 🤘
I was in the army 12/11/1999 to 7/19/2010... I served with the best group of people I have ever meet. 3rdbat... I feel our service went unnoticed.... Ffdp honor's us. Past present service members
I was luckier than most. I had an old home I could come back to so I would never end up on the streets. It still took me a long time to adjust back to civilian life. 7 years and a destroyed marriage before I was finally able to even hold down a job for longer than a month. I've lasted almost 4 years now. I work at a VA hospital and the number of Vets who come into the ER waiting room just so they have a nice place to sleep or even someone to talk to makes me sick to my stomach. People understand the idea of serving your country but they don't really comprehend the full weight of it. I wish there were more people who cared about the real heroes who truly matter and not about the fake "heroes" that don't. Thank you for sharing your emotional reaction. It was beautiful.
Loved ur reaction young lady...yra war is horrible takes a toll and music will invoke emotion...hits hard..I love all your reactions..cheers from a 58 yr old old school metal head kansas city..
Former homeless combat veteran. I now work for the Veteran Affairs as a case manager for homeless Veterans. We have to take care of each other or nobody will
Thank you so much for your emotional reaction you have shown here. A society should define itself about the fact how they treat the weakest ones. This video shows, that the United States are having a general problem not only how they treat their veterans. The immense wealth of some in opposite to the poverty show the obvious problem. The list at the end of the video indicates that the americans are aware of their problems and how they are trying to solve it. When i saw the video i was really overwhelmed by the informations given to the viewer. I was at the german army but i never joined a war (i am grateful for that). I never was in war because of countries like the united states or the united kingdom. And when i see what they are doing to those veterans who sacrificed so much to protect our freedom. I can't even imagine how the situation in the ukraine and russia will be in the future.
Thanks for the recommendation, Henning 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 It was extremly powerful and important! Also I agree - it makes me Think about whats going on now in with Ukraine 😟
As a veteran, this truly breaks my heart. I have three videos you should react too. Hurt by Johnny Cash. Wolf Totem, feat Jacoby of Papa Roach and Song of Women feat Lzzy Hale.
Strong song, powerful words, great reaction! The problem of adaptation in society after participation in military operations revealed in the clip is rather inherent in psychological traumas that interfere with living in peacetime. I haven't heard such problems for a long time, we respect the military and veterans.
As a veteran who deployed 6 times to combat zones and suffers from PTSD, I thank you for reacting to this video. I suggest listening to trace adkins empty chair or table.
I have never served in the army, and I'm absolute no army person either. But this song, that I have heard several times, breaks me everytime, and with tears in my eyes I try to continue to watch and read the text in the video ... It is just so powerful. My heart goes out to veterans all over the world, who is giving everything and in so many ways are getting nothing back ... Sadly enough, also in my home country Denmark. It just so unjust and wrong.
“You saved my life brother” gets me every time…😢
Yes that hit home
Every.fukn.time.
Tears me up
It's the mom yanking the little girl away that gets me.
@Atrum Phasmatis:
Same thing here, regardless of how many times I'd watched that video, that scene still gets to me
The actors playing in the clip are real veterans
Amazing
I've been listening to this song for many years and had no clue.... Thanks for the information!
Only the one with the beard is from what I've heard
@@willl84 thay all are vets in the video
Will Lyon They are vets.
I'm a 25-year veteran, pilot, Colonel. Every time I hear this song and watch this video I feel guilt, shame and sorrow. Not for something that I've done but for the struggles and solitude that is prevalent in many as they try to find their place in society and put their lives back together following their very honorable service. The lifetime sacrifice that many have made is really inconceivable. They worked incredibly hard, faced unbelievable challenges, endured so much mental and physical pain and served our country and its people to the absolute best of their abilities. I come to tears every single time I hear this and I am crying as I type. FFDP are such a strong supporter of our military and I love them for that (plus their music and message is so good). I post this video on my Facebook every single memorial and veteran's days. If you could, please don't just thank a Vet but try to help a Vet when able. It makes a difference.
That is kind of you to say. Unfortunately, there really is no way to quantify the impact it has on individuals. I went to Basic Training in 1984. A time of relative peace in America. Turns out, that wasn't a correct assumption on my part. There is conflict everywhere all the time. I joined to get free college. I served to keep as many people as I could alive. Two very different things.
I’m crying just reading your testimony. I’m a combat vet is tragic and says maybe all of us who are capable would do it all over again. Thank you for sharing your story.
And please, please above anything else get rid of that guilt. You don’t deserve that. Your dedication and selflessness to our country for 2 1/2 decades your better than that please get rid of it and thank you so much for your extensive dedication and commitment.
As a disabled combat veteran, thank you for this reaction. I wish more people could see these statistics. I lost more guys when we got home than in combat. So far it hasn't gotten easier. Thank you to all who my fellow soldiers.
I think being a 70 year old suffering vet every day no one understands or cares. Thank god for the VA and country music and people like you.god bless Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou
❤️❤️❤️
i care and respect u brother
I'm only 42 Kevin but you know that myself and thousands of others got your six brother. I'm retired Coast Guard. All my dad and his brothers were Vietnam veterans. They all made it back.
I'm 70 and did a tour in Nam. There are fewer and fewer of us every day. You aren't alone, I've got your 6.
Thank you sir for your time fighting for this country..I salute you. Dont know what side you fall on but I'm ready for Trump to take the wheel again.! He actually cares about America! And or you... five finger death punch is such a great band in that they not only raise awareness but also donate alot. They are truly supporting the troops more than our government! Wtf ?
This old vet is not ashamed to admit that the tears flow every time I watch "Wrong Side of Heaven". Thank you for posting this reaction video.
As the years go by, I shed more tears. And I don't care a fig for others' opinions or judgments. Screw that, and them. Period. Full stop.
No shame in that. It just profs you are a human being with empathy. This song is so deep and hard hitting, that it transfers from the realm of music, into gut punching reality check ...
I'm a British veteran and i really appreciate the importance of this video being shown. Your a true inspiration. Thank you.
I'm a Vietnam veteran and everytime I see this, I get a lump in my throat and tear up.
Thank you for your service, Jerry.
Welcome home Jerry
welcome home brother IGY6
your not alone on that was in Afghanistan and Iraq
Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
"GONE AWAY" by Five Finger Death Punch is another great military tribute.
"COMING DOWN" by Five Finger Death Punch is another great song with a powerful message.
Gone Away for younger folks might also want to listen to the original by the Offspring
@@davidward9737 I agree, I grew up with the original version, it's still my favorite.
I think FFDP did a great job with the video and message of what our soldiers go through.
@@scanau1 they did a amazing job. I think the original should be given props, especially when I was choosing to chop white power going to a Metallica concert when they sing about Master of Puppets
@@scanau1 Offspring version. The original. There wasn't UA-cam at the time but the original hits hard
@@davidward9737 Haha, yeah Metallica's early stuff was badass for sure!
Hardest two years of my life was when I separated from the army after 10 years, suicidal and suffering from PTSD (still do, always will) but my girlfriend at the time; wife now, convinced me to seek help and I urge my brothers and sisters to also seek help.
Thank you - very glad you found help
It takes strength to defend one’s country and family. And it takes an even Greater strength to admit when you need help glad you have the strength
You bro thank you for your service not many people think you guys enough or do enough for you guys I have a friend Jojo she's deployed right now we all miss her so hopefully she comes back safe
Glad you didn't give in to the demons brother. It's a struggle
As a danish veteran I want to thank you for sharing the message. We have a lot of the same problems here ind Denmark, thought on a smaller scale than the US.
I loved the Danish PX at Camp Bastion/ Leatherneck. Best candy available in Afghanistan! Not to mention the axe throwing games they would hold. Take care.
Doesnt matter where you served, Thank you for your service! (from a Yank)
Never matters where you serve or the perceived scale of service or sacrifice, if you've served your country and the cause of freedom you're a hero, PERIOD!! God bless you my friend, from another Yank!!
The size doesn't matter. The sacrifice does. This is every military, friend or foe.
IT'S OUR DECEPTIVE GOVERNMENTS & ELECTED OFFICIALS CAUSING THESE WARS. It say says so in the Good book if you know what I mean. ? They are putting us in harms way Not Theirs!!!!
Thanks Sabina!
As a vet, this MV draws tears every time.
I count myself lucky to have survived my career largely intact?
But have known and seen many of my comrade brothers suffer, fall and succumb.
This video shines a bright light on our country's failed promise to care for our vets.
The saying goes...
"All gave some. Some gave all."
We give away our personal morals for "the greater good" of our country and our democracy. But when we move past our military service, reconciling our actions in and for the military with our personal morals, often highlights the contradiction we cannot resolve. We suffer for our actions by our guilty conscience and become a prisoner to that contradiction.
We struggle to block out the images that we helped create and relive the horrors over and over.
The nightmares make us uncomfortable to be around and the mental health conditions that result make us intolerable for the community. We become bitter, homeless and volatile...and often take our own lives to escape the pain of a broken soul.
Broken and used up by the country and military, we're cast aside as an expendable commodity and rarely referred to until election cycles begin again.
on point my good sir
I am so proud of our heroes, and so ashamed of our government, for how they have not taken care of our broken warriors. Politicians send our soldiers to fight in wars but never have an objective, and then no exit plan. This video breaks me every time. Love your heart.
War is hell. And those who step into hell and come back out of it are scarred. Much respect to you for your reaction and to the band for their message and support.
thank you so much for your reaction. i'm a combat veteran and have lost my marriage, my house and everything to my PTS. I've been fortunate enough to be able to start to build my life again over the last couple of years but every day is a struggle. Again, thank you for your heartfelt reaction to such an important song. "You saved my life, Brother" will always get me. That's real. The statistics have only gotten worse. there are many more homeless vets on the streets and the number of veteran suicides has about doubled to about 1 per hour. this has to stop
I'm not a veteran, and I cry every time I watch this😢
Thank you for watching this video. This message should be seen by everyone. I lost 2 brothers while I was in and 3 more after we got out and it never gets easier. Semper Fi to all my warrior brothers and sisters out there. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC
Semper Fi, my brother.
Amen brother. I lost 3 brothers while I was in.
Army infantry. I'm probably out soon. Do what you can for those left
From one squid to a Devil dog, semper fi and bravo Zulu brother. No matter the shit we squids talk about you devil dogs, we love and respect you all.🫡
Aussie combat vet
To all my brothers/sisters stay front sight focused & push forward
LEGIO PATRIA NOSTRA🇦🇺🇺🇸
My father served 23 years in an anti-terrorist force and has been in different wars, I have been living with his PTSD problems since I was a child, and I know how hard it is for the family unit, it was broken 20 years ago losing my mum, friends and colleagues took their lives, but he despite everything, he continues to fight, we really continue to fight, even if sometimes it is hard. Thank you for this sincere reaction Sabina, men also need to cry sometimes. Your video makes me feel like I don't do it alone.
As a U.S. Army veteran, pre-9/11, this is one of my favorite songs and videos. I can't watch it without feels and tears. I know how much of a brother/sisterhood the military. I feel deeply for all of those coming back, messed up by service related issues, both seen and unseen. There is nothing that I would love better than to pick every one of them up and help them stand on their own, but I've had trouble keeping a job, too, and for the last 9 years I've been relying on family and I have been so blessed to have them. I wish and pray blessings and love on all my brothers and sisters out there, no matter what country.
This is powerful. From what I hear, this song describes the less than respectful way in which army veterans who have served are treated post discharge. Many soldiers suffer from PTSD or have difficulty in adjusting to life outside of the armed forces, and end up homeless. Overall, it seems to be a description of how badly some soldiers are treated. We have a similar problem here in the U.K. A song packed with emotion. Great choice of song for the channel…a bit of awareness never hurts. Looks like you received the message loud and clear. Nice one.
Thank you🙏🏻❤️ indeed a powerful and important message!!
@@sabina1118 what particularly irritates me (assuming that this happens in every country and therefore also in mine) is that it never happens that politicians and administrators have economic problems while citizens often have ...... for the first ones the funds are never lacking
actually its veterans in general, look at the ending where one vet tells the other "you know me, you saved my life brother" and then picks his brother up and helps carry him. This is fundamentally what every veteran does for his brothers and sister regardless of branch of service. As a Marine I consider every Soldier Sailor Airman and Guardsman my brother or sister, we have always had each others six both in uniform and out of it. In the states our nation has a habit of brushing aside its veterans and their needs both during service but especially after going all the way back to the civil war were Soldiers Sailors and Marines literally had to camp out in front of the Whitehouse and Capital building to force the government to uphold the promise and obligation it made to those who served and Veterans have had to take similar actions after almost every war or conflict the politicians got us into. The citizenry either doen't know or doesn't care and it shows in their ability to tie a yellow ribbon around a tree one day and like the government forget about us when we are no longer viewed as needed.
Thank you for your Reaction Sabina. Just lost 2 awesome friends due to PTSD. it's a Damn shame out government forgets about them. Thank you so much!!!
Its disgusting !
Thank you so much. It's no different around the world regardless what nationality you are.. I have served my country/UN and I suffer from PTSD, all I got was a pat on the shoulder and was told that you'll be fine. All my brothers in arms around the world fight for you and your kin... for your peace... Would I do it again? Yes! Without a doubt. That's our love for mankind. A few years ago I met a US vet from Vietnam while working security in a pub, he came up to me and rather bluntly asked where and how long.. I guess it takes one to know one... I cried when I got home that night.. We still to this day keep contact. Again thank you.
A Soldier Sailor Airmen or Marine recognizes a brother in arms regardless of nationality, Especially those who have walked through the fires of hell. Semper Fi brother God speed and God bless
Thank you, for caring. I’m a vet and I appreciate people like yourself for bringing this kind of message forward.
Thank you for your reaction to this song, and for letting the organizations show at the end. I know that it means a lot to me and I am sure that it does for other veterans as well.
As a Marine vet and once homeless myself, it's still difficult to deal with the many things that haunt us. Thank you for your concern.
I love you sweet spirit Sabina. Thanks for shedding light on this situation.
🙏🏻❤️
This message is universal. All veterans from around the world suffer the same way. Being a combat veteran who suffers from ptsd this hits hard. God bless to you and my brothers and sisters around the world
Thank you for reacting to this song, Sabina.
I am a military vet, as well as my brother. We both have dealt with suicide and depression. My brother, a US Marine, also deals with PTSD.
I have saved my brother's life, as there was a dark time where he wanted to pull the trigger.
Too often, my brothers and sisters who serve take their own lives, because of the pain they've gone through. I hope that one day, we can truly help those that have given everything they have to serve, so that those that come home have the help they truly need.
Again, Sabina, thank you for reacting to this song. It means more than you know.
#EndThe22
#EndThe5000
Sabrina I’m a Australian Veteran who has for many years from War I have PTSD your reaction to this was astonishing and made me cry not because of my issues it’s your response was so raw and so beautiful to see you think in that moment of truth and hit you in the heart, beautiful beautiful beautiful reaction ❤
My uncle was a hard, hard core alcoholic. After WW2 he started his own bakery. Told my Aunt that he was a cook in the Army. That’s why he wanted to start a bakery after the war. She always just thought he was a drunk. After he died, my brothers helped her go through his things. We found out he had been awarded the bronze star for bravery. His own wife for 53 years never knew he was a combat veteran.
FFDP music is literally about bringing message and awareness to everyone that people need help.
Another very powerful one you should check that they did is called, "Coming Down". It hits home for me because of what it's about. When you have time, watch it :)
I tear up every single time I see this videos!! We do not recognize our veterans enough. They give everything to keep us all free!! This is a big reason I live Five Finger Death Punch!!!
I´m not a veteran myself, but plenty of my relatives served in WW2 , Vietnam , Irak etc, so let´s never forget the sacrifice and the service they´ve given and just be kind to them , all of them always support vets , greetings, thankyou for your service
As a Veteran this hits hard each time I hear it and I think of the brothers and sisters lost or out there struggling.
Sabina thanks so much for your emotional reaction to this very real problem for our veterans. God bless and protect them.
🙏🏻❤️
My great grandfather, who I've not been able to meet before he passed away, fought against the Russian Soldiers in WWII. But since World War 2... I don't think we had any soldiers going to war. I feel so lucky being in such a country, but also feel helpless seeing what happens in other countries. I hope it'll get better. Wishful thinking, I know, but I have no chance to actually help. I cried a lot during this MV
Five Finger Death Punch are huge supporters of the military and first responders. The do a terrific cover of “Blue On Black” and the video they made is in support of Gary Sinise’s foundation for first responders. FFDP are first rate guys. 🤘
Your reaction was so eloquent and on point. Thank you for doing this and helping to get the word out about what can be done to support veterans. Not just US vets but any vets around the world. Our training differs from nation to nation, but the impact of combat is the same. The effect that this video had on me was somber and poignant at the same time. I did have the benefit of living this reality for quite a few combat deployments as an Infantryman, so the subject matter is easily identified and related to. God bless.
Beautiful and emotional song. No other country in the world respects their veterans better. We are not perfect, never will be. There is only one perfect. Articulate and sincere analogy. Dry your tear, there still are many warm and giving hearts.
I have seen this video 50+ times and I cry every time. I was in the Navy and never faced combat, but I have lost brothers after and during their time in the service. It will never make sense to me. We need to do better for our veterans. Thank you for letting the numbers run at the end of the video.
Remember everyone if you meet a veteran thank them for their service. If you made a veteran who served in Vietnam. Thank them for their service and welcome them home.✊🙏🇺🇸
Loved your reaction. This is a powerful video that everyone should see. It’s awful that the best and bravest members of humanity go through what they do with little to no support from the rest of us. It’s absolutely disgusting that so many people out there play the victim card over the pettiest crap out there when they don’t understand what REAL pain and loneliness is.
This is the most if not one of the most powerful music video/ lyrics combination I have ever seen. I’ve watched this video and listening to this song probably over 100 times over the years and I still get just as emotional.
Wooooow! This video describes every feeling post war. As argentinian I feel it ,and it hurts. Days ago, some veterans from Malvinas war talked about their experiences in schools to commemorate 40 years of Malvinas war. They commented on every lived moment as it is shown in the video. There is a special scene, the girl with the flower and her mother's attitude. It reminds me nearly 1986, 87s when I was child and saw some veterans from Malvinas war asking for money in the steeets, they have no Jobs. Indeed they were desciminated not only for their mental condition post war, but also becausr they werenot protected. As a young girl I considered that situation awful and sad. Today my feeling is that war had no sense. Many young unexperienced kids, were sent to an useless war without any suport from our government and moreover , the state has abandoned them post war , and THAT hurts more.
I am so proud of our heroes, and so ashamed of our governments and Politicians. God bless to those heroes who died in battle and their souls stay in the Islands, to those Who commited suicide after the war because of the cruel polítical system in our country which hasn't given them protection and support , and to those who came back from war and tought us that life continues, still when the results were not in justice. Thanks to them because they show us the way to stand up, face the World, enjoy life, smile again, and choose the peace. I'm proud of them.
This song hits close to home, two siblings served in our military. One worked in a hospital that took care of soldiers with PTSD & other problems. The other was an officer in the US Army.
I have friends that still suffer from PTSD from Vietnam!
Glad you chose to feature this song!
I am not a veteran, I suffer from PTSD and was looking for songs that spoke to what I was going through. I was a witness to an active shooting, was three feet away from the gunman when he fired six shoots. I almost didn't make it through this video the first time when I saw the soldiers getting shot. It kind of brought me back to the shooting I had witnessed. It has now been nearly eight years since the shooting and this is one of my go to songs when I start to go through a PTSD attack. I can't watch it without tearing up. Shalom.
Wow. All I did was stare at your eyes I've seen reactions to this video countless times. But I saw a empath right from the start and waited to see when you would cry in empathy. Bless you sister! You are not alone. This is our calling for this life. It's always hard but it's always worth the lives you help!
I'm a Vet...tears flow every time I see this video!!! THANKS for your reaction and thoughts!!
just wanted to say thank you for showing the ENTIRE video, i am a combat veteran, was an 89D for 22 of my 25 years in the U.S Army, know many brother and sisters who never made it home, watch the video Gone Away, by Five Finger Death Punch, this will also explain where a lot of veterans are in their mind set.
Thank you to the warriors. They give everything and often receive nothing. Thank you
20 year service member with multiple deployments. This song is one of many that tell the story so well.
A "Reaction Video" done right - The fact you didn't pause at any point to put your two pence worth in and break the immersion, but put it in subtitles made the reaction SO much more genuine.
Thank you for that
Thank you for your very real reaction. The numbers are greater now then when the video was made. I can not ever get thru this ever without tears. Mr wife and I are army vets and 8 years ago my wife took her own life, it was two weeks after our youngest graduated high school. She just couldn’t deal with the pain anymore. 22 veteran a day and my heart breaks everyday from it, there is not a day in 8 years that, not one that it isn’t thought about by me. I am proud of her service, broken that she is gone, and will never forgive myself for not seeing some sign that day that could have stopped her.
As a veteran, this song always brings me to tears!
I am a Irak veteran...and like my comrad Jerry miller said....a lumb in my throat......i had to deal with PTSD.....been in a mental hospital for two years...
re-entered normal life....and am working doing a normal job.....most of the organisations in holland realy help....(forgot to tell ...original from holland..now living in belgium)...but i also had so much help from my friends and family.....
thank you for this reaction Sabina.....
Hi,guys and vets all over the world!I'm speachless and everytime i cred when i see this video!For all of my heart and soul ,thanks FFDP!I wish the best for all vets all over the world!!!
I am a combat veteran ( Vietnam ) you can not possibly know the good you have just done. Thank you for this and God bless you
welcome home and thank you for your service. I served (and learned a lot of important lessons) with Nam vets early in my career. Had it not been for the Nam vets those lessons would have been learned the hard way. I owe Nam vets a lot.
@@oif3vetk9 You really don't owe us anything we both served and in a way said im giving you my life don't waste it. Thank you we both did the honerable thing
Welcome home sir from Mcpo benson retired usn
@@jamesbenson4758 Thanks buddy and thank you for your service
When I was at Ft. Lewis outside Seattle, every other weekend was a march for the troops or a march slandering us as killers and oppressors. And this was in 2013. We felt like garbage men. Only noticed when we failed or some group of uneducated (scholars) wanted to wait until war was in the USA. I agree that the band has used the platform well, and you help keep awareness alive. We are truly thankful!
This is the best reaction I have seen to this video. The use of captions so you don’t interrupt the power of the video was perfect. Keep it up!
This was my first visit to your channel, but certainly not my last, as I hit the sub button the moment your video was done.
As another person commented, Gone Away would be an excellent choice for another 5FDP song.
Assuming you do wish to donate to one of the organizations helping veterans, may I suggest looking at the DAV (Disabled American Veterans). My father, a Vietnam vet, got a great deal of help and support from them and now works with the guys from Iraq and Afghanistan.
What really got me was the mother who jerked her daughter away from the vet when she was handing him a flower. He was holding the picture of his own daughter he lost to divorce. I am a 20 year retired veteran. I was in during 'Nam and Iraq. My second son went to Afghanistan and is on disability now and his daughter, (my oldest granddaughter) went to Kuwait and other parts of the middle east. She is now a government contractor. My dad served in the tank Corp in WW2 and ended up medically retired, and I had an Uncle who spent his whole life in a Veterans Hospital due to traumatic brain injury from WW2. I have PTSD and depression. I was gone for the birth of two of my 4 kids. Divorced after 18 years.
Beautiful reaction ❤😢 - The video often makes me shed a tear - I've seen this hundreds of times, each time it gets me. - Much Love, Peace & Respect
One of the FFDP Band members fought in the U.S. Military. They're are a Great supporter of Military Vets served. Listen to their version of "Bad Co."!!! It's Awesome!!
I am a fan of five finger death punch, I love this song, but I cried twice when I saw your reaction, it's beautiful to look at a woman as sensitive as you. New subscriber to your channel.
@ sabina Thank You for reacting to this video. I'm a veteran and used to be homeless myself (not any more. I got a good job and doing well). The issues in this song are real. Music reactors like You bring awareness to this. Those of you who read this if you know a veteran one of the best things you can do to help them is be a friend. The military is a brother/sisterhood. If is deliberately trained into you from day 1. Veterans miss that deep connection to their peers when they leave the military. Provide that for them and many of the problems addressed in this video will be solved. Thank you again for reacting Sabina. It raises awareness.
thankyou for this video. my grandfather is a vet. he was shot in the shoulder like in this video, but other than scar he came back and carried on (he just turned 80). His brother (my uncle) also came back but ptsd got him...he took his own life.
You are very inciteful and compassionate in your reactions. I love the fact that you use text on the screen to communicate your thoughts. And your breakdown/analysis/reaction after each video is from the heart. I sincerely appreciate what you do. I'm new here and have only seen a few of your vids. I will see many more. Thank you. Subscribed!
My wife and I are vets. While we were in, I had one friend end his own life, and another give it his best try. The MP who arrived kept him alive by brute force until they got him to a hospital. He's one of my best friends to this day. The shit is real.
Thank you wery many! FFDP has many great veteran videos. I was In the military but fortunately on peaceful times but both my grand fathers fought twice against Russia and once against the Germans and they never recovered. Back then there were absolutely no help for a whole generation of Men and families. Hundreds of thousand people had To leave their homes for ever.
This is probably the most honest and beautiful reaction I have ever seen.. Thank you. xo
The stories told in the video are powerful. If you think about it, the guy who lost his wife and kid (to divorce) is the saddest of the lot. The one guy was recognized by the cop... that might become an avenue for help. The one guy's wearing a suit, he's getting by. The leader's been found by his old brother, the one he saved.... but the poor bastard still holding his daughter's photo. . . he's all alone.
If I remember correctly at least one of the band members is a military veteran. The whole band is supportive of the military and the veterans. The video of a song that they cover is also done with soldiers. It is called Bad Company. The song was originally done by a different band but Five Finger Death Punch did their version of it and made the video of them spending time with the military
I'm right there with you. I cry Every single time I watch this! And Gone Away. For you to react this way shows you're a caring compassionate person. And watch them Live I gave great Show! They tour near you I'm sure.
One of my favourite songs of theirs, thank you for reacting to this one. The message this song brings needs to be spread the world over, to bring attention to these poor veterans who gave their lives for their country.
I am OIF OEF OND vet.
...got tears of blood in my soul...and tears in my eyes every fucking time when I see this.
God Bless!
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇹🇩🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
This is the best reaction to a video i´ve seen. Tears still run down every time.
You are awesome. I am a man, standing over six feet and I felt the same as you the first time I watched it. Yes, tears as well. this video is a wakeup call for all. I will click like on this video.
This song is an emotional punch in the chest but it's message needs to be blasted from the roof tops. Our Veterans deserve so much more. We are failing them, when they sacrifice all the have for us.
Great reaction. Liked.
The detail goes further than you think. They portrayed the 4 types of citizen that typically joins the service in the USA besides just the common 'serve your country' that they all have. The guy with the beard is special forces. That's why he has different attire & facial hair, to blend with the area he's deployed. He's the team leader, the specialist. Jacoby, the black guy, joined to advance his life. Schooling & other things to get ahead after service. The father with the need to make a better world for his child & the gung ho guy that joined to be a part of something & see some action. They work closely with soldiers & veterans on these to make them as real as possible. They use all veterans & veterans families in these as well. They never hire just any actors for these. They have to be military or former military. Ironically, none of the band members have served but have family that did.
This song hits hard every time I play it esspecialy after reading a lot of military history books and I totally understand how it was so hard for them
I did 6 years in the Air Force as a PJ (pararescue). I saw the worst of humanity in Afghanistan and I saw the worst of humanity when the United States government dumped us off like trash after they used us up. The only reason I’m still here today is because my my wife who stuck it out through the alcoholism, the violent outbursts, and the long recovery after war. PTSD is a bitch and my wife saw my struggles and now works as a private psychologist who helps veterans come back home from war since she saw how helpless I was. This song is so powerful, and I’ve seen three of the men I’ve served with, 1 of whom took a bullet, on the side of the road in a tent and 1 of those men took his own life. The population of the United States had zero understanding of what war is and what war does to you. I thank god everyday that I came home with all my limbs.
Hello beautiful souls, as a Vet to all the Men and Women who served in the Military Living Or Died.. I would like to tell you all I love you and thanks for your Contribution and God Bless You all for being my Hero
Im a Vietnam veteran and ended up being devorced losing touch with my 3 kids spent 4 years on the street where people talked to me all the time to get help but took me 40 years before i finally did at 72 im still fighting it
Thank them for their sacrifice. Thank you for a REAL REACTION
These guys are amazing. I will always support 5FDP as they support our country and military. Big thank you to anyone who has served🤘
Gone Away is another epic song 🤘
Thank you Sabina for your emotions. Your tears show that you care.
I was in the army 12/11/1999 to 7/19/2010... I served with the best group of people I have ever meet. 3rdbat... I feel our service went unnoticed.... Ffdp honor's us. Past present service members
I love how five finger death Punch not only creates beautiful music but educates us as well!
I was luckier than most. I had an old home I could come back to so I would never end up on the streets. It still took me a long time to adjust back to civilian life. 7 years and a destroyed marriage before I was finally able to even hold down a job for longer than a month. I've lasted almost 4 years now. I work at a VA hospital and the number of Vets who come into the ER waiting room just so they have a nice place to sleep or even someone to talk to makes me sick to my stomach. People understand the idea of serving your country but they don't really comprehend the full weight of it. I wish there were more people who cared about the real heroes who truly matter and not about the fake "heroes" that don't. Thank you for sharing your emotional reaction. It was beautiful.
You are a beautiful soul... with much heart.... truly one of the best reactions I've ever seen. I subscribed and I thank you for being in this world.
Loved ur reaction young lady...yra war is horrible takes a toll and music will invoke emotion...hits hard..I love all your reactions..cheers from a 58 yr old old school metal head kansas city..
Former homeless combat veteran. I now work for the Veteran Affairs as a case manager for homeless Veterans. We have to take care of each other or nobody will
Thank you so much for your emotional reaction you have shown here.
A society should define itself about the fact how they treat the weakest ones.
This video shows, that the United States are having a general problem not only
how they treat their veterans. The immense wealth of some in opposite to the
poverty show the obvious problem. The list at the end of the video indicates
that the americans are aware of their problems and how they are trying to solve
it.
When i saw the video i was really overwhelmed by the informations given to the
viewer.
I was at the german army but i never joined a war (i am grateful for that).
I never was in war because of countries like the united states or the united kingdom.
And when i see what they are doing to those veterans who sacrificed so much to protect
our freedom. I can't even imagine how the situation in the ukraine and russia will be
in the future.
Thanks for the recommendation, Henning 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 It was extremly powerful and important! Also I agree - it makes me Think about whats going on now in with Ukraine 😟
Sorry it made you cry. Thanks for caring about us. EMDR is helping get on top of my PTSD
As a veteran, this truly breaks my heart. I have three videos you should react too. Hurt by Johnny Cash. Wolf Totem, feat Jacoby of Papa Roach and Song of Women feat Lzzy Hale.
PTSD can never be cured only managed. Peace upon all my fellow Vets
Strong song, powerful words, great reaction! The problem of adaptation in society after participation in military operations revealed in the clip is rather inherent in psychological traumas that interfere with living in peacetime. I haven't heard such problems for a long time, we respect the military and veterans.
As a veteran who deployed 6 times to combat zones and suffers from PTSD, I thank you for reacting to this video. I suggest listening to trace adkins empty chair or table.
I have never served in the army, and I'm absolute no army person either.
But this song, that I have heard several times, breaks me everytime, and with tears in my eyes I try to continue to watch and read the text in the video ... It is just so powerful.
My heart goes out to veterans all over the world, who is giving everything and in so many ways are getting nothing back ... Sadly enough, also in my home country Denmark.
It just so unjust and wrong.
FFDP also did a song called Gone Away! It is also a great song. It digs deeper into the mindset of a veteran.
