I'm surprised they haven't reacted to, "The Most Gangster Politician of all Time", by The Fat Electrician.

Let's hope that's coming up in the future!

Always watch the videos to the absolute end. TFE adds clips of interviews with people from the actual story to most videos. Others have him making personal commentary, usually funny or sarcastic, as he shuts down his gear. Worth watching!!

[@nigwardmyguy]

Yall keep skippin the end clips

[@bodenmaddoxmain]

Yeah, he almost always has a fun bit at the end that's worth watching... after the Quack-Bang-Out bit.

Henry Elrod "Hammerin' Hank", the pilot at the beginning of the story received the Medal of Honor posthumously since he was KIA on Wake. He was defending a position and covering his men when mortally wounded.

[@AniwayasSong]

As a USMC Veteran, I totally agree that Marines are a very special group of people. Harnessed mayhem is about the politest thing I can claim, and it's well deserved! Once unleashed, there is nothing we're not willing to face/attend, and even if it takes all of us, we're going to leave an impression. Leonidas and his famous Greek warriors are a perfect comparison!

[@yugimotobutjacked3231]

Real comparison, just like the greek warriors they all have gay sex as well

[@TowGunner]

Sorry, don’t know the names but the dude on the left stated by surrendering, many lives were saved. The way the POWs were treated, they would have been better off dying in battle. There’s a great Wake Island documentary where former POWs stated if they could go back in time, they would never have surrendered. 98 construction workers were kept on Wake to perform forced labor. In 1943, Captain Shigematsu Sakaibara ordered all of the construction workers killed. They were taken to the northern end of the island, blindfolded and executed with a machine gun. One of the prisoners (whose name has never been discovered) escaped, apparently returning to the site to carve the message "98 US PW 5-10-43" on a large coral rock near where the victims had been hastily buried in a mass grave. The unknown construction worker was recaptured, and Sakaibara personally beheaded him with a katana. The inscription on the rock can still be seen and is a Wake Island landmark.

You guys need to start watching to the end of TFE videos as there is often a post credits clip.

[@CinesterCharlie]

There's usually an ending clip in these videos. Just a heads up.

[@Darth_Lunas]

Love The Fat Electrician!!! Superb storyteller.

[@Koyotito20]

You guys need to check out his videos on Cassius Clay The gangster politician, and Joe Medicine Crow, the last war chief

[@midknight9715]

It's a shame you guys never watch till the end. There's some good stuff in there that you're missing.

[@frankbolger3969]

It's a fantastic story. The defenders of Wake Island were simply amazing, but the fact is they would have lost by attrition over time. The aftermath of the Wake story sad, in that two officers, Devereux and Cunningham had hard feelings between them after they returned home because of the way the defense of Wake Island was misreported. Cunningham was actually in command, but in press accounts Devereux got much of the acclaim.

[@RubyGB]

At the beginning of WWII, the U.S. military was contracting out construction projects to private companies. Unfortunately, civilian construction workers were under orders to not fight back when attacked. Under international law, they could be considered guerrilla fighters and might be executed when captured. The Naval Construction Force (Seabees - CB for Construction Battalions), was born on March 5, 1942, to meet the Navy’s need for construction workers who were also trained (by the Marine Corp) to fight while involved in building advanced bases and airfields in combat zones., Due to the need for seasoned skilled tradesmen physical standards were waived and they accepted men up to age 50 (or who could successfully lie to pass for 50) with the average age of a Seabee being 37.

Marine doctrine is every marine is a rifle ma 1st. Artillery, medics, chow hall cooks, ur a rifle man 1st. Just how they get down. Utmost respect.

[@865style]

Nobody fights harder than free men.

[@user-ty5di3ku6o]

The problem was that those brave men would've died than surrendered. They were ordered to surrender. It was out of their hands.

[@firefighterchick]

Please consider reacting to his video of Virginia Hall the Deadliest Spy of WWII. I can all but guarantee that you guys will love it. The Marines do not have any medical personnel. They are all Navy assigned to Marine units.

[@abnr1983]

The audio from the mics are a little low, guys.

[@patrioticz2858]

1:00 Come on no laugh at that? It is a play on words with sense and cents

[@WilliamCoyle-ll6bq]

It might have saved there lives but I believe them Marines would have done a lot more damage before they went I don't think given the option they would have surrendered

[@michaelszczekot8729]

I’m surprised they can hear so much badassery and the first thing we really hear out of them is about how a flag looks like another 😴

Fun fact the US got the idea for the Social Security Administration from the small mustache crew, as their files had a nine digit number as well and were later tattooed on a certain demographic. That's why your SSI# has three section, the first three digits are your AREA # the next two are your GROUP # and the last four are your SERIAL #, which served the same function as the small mustache party on files dating back to 1933-34, SSI came about in 1936.
