The Fat Electrician left out a significant part of the story. The American and South Korean working party were not heavily armed due to the rules of the JSA. So when they pulled back, one of the two U.S. servicemen killed, 1st Lt Mark Barrett had fallen into a small ravine 15ft (4.5m) deep and was the left behind. The ravine was tree filled and also because of tall grass, could not be seen from the road or Observation Post. The OP could observe the North Koreans acting strangely. Over there course of 90 minutes, they were observed going into the ravine with an ax for about 2-3 min before coming back and handing off the axe to the next North Korean. After those 90 min, it was determined that 1st LT Barrett was missing. He has been hacked to death by the North Koreans at the bottom of the ravine.

I was in the Army at Ft. Riley Kansas at the time. That's the 1st Infintry Division, The Big Red 1, motto; Always 1st. This became so huge, we were out on the town, the MPs show up with cattle trucks and immediately take us back to the barracks. We were mustered into formation and told what happened and we were going to Korea. We were on our way. We packed our duffle bags, received our orders to go to Korea, hopped on busses and proceeded to Salina, Kansas where a ton of C-130s were waiting for us. We barely got off the buses when they told us to get back on the bus , the N. Koreans appollogized. That was it, over and done

The Fat Electrician ALSO left out that President Gerald R. Ford served in the U.S. Navy during WWII (1942-1946) and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. This is also why the newest class of U.S. aircraft carriers are named after him. By U.S. law all carriers have to be named after a person to have been connected by service in the U.S. military, preferably the Navy, but ultimately any branch, if named after a person.

Also not mentioned about Gerald Ford: in 2001, the Kennedy family awarded him a "Profile in Courage" award for pardoning Nixon. This act lifted a shadow off of the office of the President, allowing the nation to heal. It also may have cost him the 1976 election due to the pardon's initial unpopularity.

When I was in the Navy, I had do a courier run to the DMZ. Another female sailor had to go with me. We get to DMZ, our American soldier asked if we wanted a tour. YES!! So we go into the UNC building. Inside we’re being showed the side. All of a sudden, in my side vision, I see three North Korean soldiers coming towards the building. Our guide noticed too, then he said “if I tell you to hit the deck, will you”? We answered “affirmative “. My other sailor was blond and they were very interested in seeing her hair. As soon as they started coming down, two American plus one N. Korean soldiers came down immediately facing the N. Korean soldiers. My heart went to my throat. Then Lopez told to calmly turn around and leave the building. As soon as we did, the N. Korean soldiers left, so did the DNZ soldiers.

It wasn't the evac that was impressive; it was moving 130,000 people 3,000 miles in a week. (From "he's awake") All the firepower in the world isn't of any use if you can't put it where it needs to be when it needs to be there.

Okay, here's what happens with those rolls. You fail."

What Nixon was impeached for was nothing compared to what various world leaders are up to nowadays, but the old school Presidents did a lot worse. Back then the press also was made to cover up a lot of things. JFK's various affairs made Clinton's game of bobbing for apples under his desk look like frat boy shenanigans. President Johnson would often whip out "Jumbo", a nickname for a certain body part and wave it at journalists asking questions he didn't like, right there on the White House lawn. Half the stuff FDR did during the Great Depression would have gotten him multiple impeachments. Lincoln tried to get a federal judge imprisoned because the judge wrote an opinion that certain things Lincoln were doing were unConstitutional. They didn't have a 24/7 news cycle with the Internet backing it up, so politicians could get away with stuff like that. Nixon, in his defense, started peace talks with mondern (Communist) China, the first president to succeed. To make it "Hard Mode" it was during the Vietnam War, which was backed by China and Russia. Only Reagan could continue his work a decade later, but he had "Easy Mode" because the Chinese knew the USSR was about to break up. Nixon also didn't have it easy because he was handed the Vietnam War and he started the process to end it, Gerald Ford signed the papers Nixon wrote, basically. I liken Ford's presidency to a WW2 vet fighter ace taking a private jet on a trip with his buddy who's flown in planes but doesn't know how to fly and then halfway to the airport, the guy says, "You got this? Good!" and bails out, leaving the unskilled average dude the controls as his friend jumps out the window yelling, "Good luck, you're going to need it!" and then tries to work the radio to figure out how to land and not crash.

Mostly political realism, rather than any legal theory. Ford saw the likely outcome of prosecution of a president was years of political balkanization of the US, followed by eventual 'reprisal' prosecutions and impeachments, turning into a reciprocating, repeating mess of political conflict that would suck in the courts and in turn politicize them, too. (Not unlike today and our near future, in all likelihood, actually.) So, given that he didn't care for the presidency himself, he more or less resolved to (1) politically fall on his own sword and make himself a villain by issuance of the pardon, precluding himself from re-election (but he didn't care about that, anyway), so that (2) it would halt that cycle of seesawing political prosecutions from ever spinning up in the first place, and (3) bonus- if Nixon accepted the pardon he would be *criminally* sanitized but it would be *politically* tantamount to an admission of guilt in accepting it. So, Nixon's politcal opponents get a political scalp- they're satisfied- but Nixon doesn't go through a criminal prosecution- he's satisfied- the country doesn't get a tit-for-tat cycle of partisan impeachments and indictments out of political reprisals- the stability of the government and nation is satisfied- the public gets to politically and historically move on- the people are *mostly* satisfied- and the cost is Ford can't ever muster up enough popular political support to be president again- but he didn't want to be president anyway in the first place, so *he* is also satisfied. It was a big damn mess, and he gave everyone most of what they wanted at the cost of something he didn't care about himself anyway. The epitome of political compromise. You can interpret this as simultaneously the greatest example of principled and pragmatic political leadership in American history, and the worst. It's fit for an outstanding case-study of the concepts of politcal realism (or, classical political Machiavellianism, which gets a bad connotation, but is ultimately just pragmatism, unlike the clinical term).

America spends about 400 billion dollars a year on their military which is more than all other countries combined. We don’t fuck around! Plus, Americans themselves carry weapons (I have several myself) so if anyone decided to attack us in OUR soil? They would be completely screwed because we’re all locked and loaded and would defend our country against a military attack before the military had a chance to respond! There’s a reason why we all fly the Stars and Stripes on our lawns. We’re very patriotic and have fought for our freedoms since we signed our Declaration of Independence. And we won. Watch this dudes video of the navy that America created for the sole purpose of taking down the Pasha of Whatcgamacallit, known now as Iran. This guy is great at telling stories of American history and makes it interesting. If they okayed his videos in our schools, maybe our kids would actually learn about American history. (And yes, we know that “America” is a continent, but we call the USA “America” and refer to ourselves as “Americans” because that’s just how we are. lol!

Nic (the Fat Electrician) was slightly less than accurate when it comes to 2 things in this video: 1.) If I had to say what event was the single biggest case of "F**k Around & Find Out" in history, it would be when a man named Inalchuq, who was a governor of Otrar in the Khwarezmian Empire, decided that it would be a good idea to first kill a trading party from the Mongol Empire, and then to confiscate all their trade items. Genghis Khan then sent an ambassador to discuss the issue, which was when Inalchuq decided to take it to truly epic levels...and had the ambassador beheaded, with the body being sent back to Genghis Khan (the head, according to stories from the time, was in a basket tied to the saddle that carried the headless corpse). Now, if there was ONE THING that Genghis Khan NEVER overlooked, it was when _anybody_ harmed his ambassadors. Even a bruise given to one of them could be an issue punishable by death. For what Inalchuq did, Genghis Khan actually marched his forces to the Khwarezmian Empire and removed it - _and all those who lived in it_ from the face of the planet. 2.) The United States actually "yeeted" (as Nic called it) TWO manhole covers into space. The first time, nobody knew what happened, so the guys running the underground nuclear tests at the time set up another manhole cover like the first one, detonated another nuke, but this time there were high-speed cameras filming the cover. Only one frame of film actually shows the cover moving, and from the shutter speed and the change in position over 3 frames (one showing the cover firmly welded over the shaft it was covering, the next showing the cover being launched, and the third frame showing the cover completely out of frame) they were able to determine that the blast imparted a velocity of roughly 125,000 miles per hour (200,000kph). There is some debate which is still taking place as to whether that outrageous speed, coupled with air friction, would have resulted in the manhole cover actually melting before it reached orbit, but we'll never know. Since the escape velocity to leave earth is 25,168.75 mph (or 40,270kph), it can safely be said that if it made it out of the atmosphere, then it was never coming back to Earth.

For that closing bit at the end about the manhole cover, a video about it from him will probably never happen. This is because while it is a fun story, it is actually not true, at least not from what evidence there is. To start, calling it a "manhole cover" is a bit misleading. This is not his fault, it is just how it is always described. What happened was that an underground nuclear detonation was being performed, and this thing was a plug for one of the ports that led down to the bomb (not where the bomb was lowered through, more like an exhaust port). It was a massive construct of steel and concrete that was meant to keep any radioactive material from being blasted out and forming fallout. When the bomb was detonated, more explosive force than was expected went up through the port that ended with this plug. That force was enough to punch through the plug. Fortunately, hardly any fallout was formed, so hardly anyone suffered any ill effects from it. However, that plug was just gone with not even a trace of it remaining, meaning that even the housing that held it in place was also gone. The truth is that nobody actually knows what happened to this plug. The most common narrative is how TFE described it, but there is no evidence to suggest that this was the case. There was no radar track, no piece of debris, nothing. It was just gone. Sure, one could say that it was far too fast during the initial bit of the supposed launch for it to be tracked on radar, and that certainly could be the case. However, even back then, radars were able to track objects at high altitudes regardless of their speed, and for something made of concrete and _steel,_ there was no possibility of it not being noticed on radar, whether it was a whole piece or broken up into however many multiple pieces. So why is the story that it was a manhole cover that got yeeted into space? Because the more ridiculous-sounding stories are the ones that tend to persist and, in most case, turn out to be true. That said, this is one of those other cases where, as all evidence (or I suppose if you want to get technical, the complete lack of it) points to, it did not happen. To be clear, the event behind the story absolutely did happen. It is just that the result that the story is about did not.

I can tell you for a fact that this incident is 100% true. Anyone who has served in the 2nd Infantry Division knows about this. One of the American bases in Korea is named after one of the dead Americans from the incident. Camp Bonifas. When I was stationed in Korea in the late 90s the actual stump had been moved from the JSA to outside 2ID Headquarters. I have seen the actual stump.
