Hey everyone!! I'm Elliott from this video :) I see a lot of comments wishing a female Veteran was involved. PSA......they did invite a female Veteran to be a part of the episode but she couldn't make it to the filming the day we filmed so we were forced to film without her. If you'll notice, there is only 5 of us in the video. The 6th seat was for her but she couldn't make it. Don't get mad at Jubilee. They TRIED to include a female Veteran. SHE couldn't make it. Not Jubilee's fault :)

Hi all! It's Mahadi from the video :) Wanted to address another thing many of you have brought up as to why this is a middle ground episode when we're all just veterans, because our branches of service aren't that relevant to the questions asked. Originally, the episode was more in line with current and former military (younger vs older, etc). Casting changed a lot last minute, but the producers felt that the conversation and questions asked were still valuable to bring up. I appreciate all of the love and support since this episode was released!

Drone warfare SHOULD scare anyone and everyone. Imagine an army of desensitized soldiers who have been conditioned to dissociate the emotional (physically pulling the trigger) and destruction (loss of lives), whom may put warfare vis a vis video games, and not be able to genuinely feel the consequences of their action behind the screen. That's a solid recipe for massacres from unfeeling killers.

@Are You Going To Do The 'Ora Ora' Thing? drone pilots do realize what they are doing. The same as any pilot. They're saving the lives of their brothers and sisters and keeping them out of harms way. But many drone pilots also suffer from PTSD. They know what happens when they pull the trigger, especially when a civilian gets caught in the blast. So don't call them cowards when you're just typing away from your computer not putting anything to the cause. What's cowardly is the use of IEDs, the use of kids carrying bombs, the use of hiding behind civilians.

Drone strikes take out the self affecting cost associated with war and without cost who is to say we don't become more daring.

Their job literally requires them to look at people on a high definition camera for hours, blow them up, and then stare at what's left for a few more hours. Trust me, they feel the consequences of that, even when they are only killing terrorists (and worse so when they are not).

Not rlly a fine line. And even then, the US has crossed that line and is 10 light years past it. The amount of money we pour into the military could have this country at the top by shredding off a couple billion. But no, we “invest” in wars we have no businesses being in, technology we don’t use, and a broken “healthcare” system for equally as broken veterans.

Preying on 18 y/o who don't know what to do with their lives or were poor, sending them to war, and using scare tactics to keep them in. Seeing this among the numerous other issues that got people killed made it easy for me to leave; but I worry for the ones I'm leaving behind.

When the Marine spoke about helping veterans navigate the VA "gauntlet", I so wish I had someone like him where I live. I served a little over 5 years, active duty Army, and I got out in June of 2011. I'm writing this in March of 2022. I still have not received my disability benefits. I have applied numerous times, told I need to wait because it's a "process", be patient, etc. Then when I call to check on it again, I am told I never applied in the first place. I have now taken my gigantic box of medical records to a Staple's or Kinko's and made copies of the entire thing at LEAST 5 times. I was medically discharged, even though I wanted to stay active duty. I had PTSD and didn't tell anyone. I had three surgeries while I was in, and those surgeries started to take their tolls and make it so I couldn't do PT anymore. I still wanted to stay in, but I couldn't. I have been on the verge of homelessness for the last 8 years straight. If it wasn't for my family letting me stay with them, I would be on the streets. Every time I call an organization to help me, it's always the same thing. Friendly people who are willing to help, but the effort I have to make on my end is too much for me to handle. The day of my appointment, I'm having a super bad pain day and can't get out of bed. Or I have no transportation (there are no VA affiliated companies anywhere near my city so the closest one I know if is about a 20-25 minute drive). Or my PTSD is making me incredibly paranoid. Or I just straight up don't have the money to get gas. These things are all my fault, I know, but I just wish there were other options. I have moved and been kicked out of so many places at this point, I don't even know what happened to my DD214 anymore. The VA now owes me 11 years of back pay (although I know I won't get that because you only get backpay from the date you apply for disability, which they claim I have never done, even though I have applied and had 4 different physical examinations for the process).

The Philippines (where I'm from 🇵🇭) and a handfull of other countries in asia, are currently under threat by the CCP, and the US military's presence alone is effective in mitigating that threat. Maybe one of the reasons why NASA gets less funding is because they don't have to deal with increasing threats 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'm not disagreeing with what these vets/service members had to say, I'm simply providing a bit more nuance as a Filipino citizen as to one of the reasons why I think the US militay gets too much funding.

This is all extremely expensive and often leads to some of the ridiculous penny pinching you see when you serve at the grunt level.

He said something once like he did the statistics and the average percent of accuracy was around 20%. That is absolutely terrible. I feel terrible for them but I know I need to be proud of how brave they are. Me feeling proud, however, does not mean I am patriotic. I hate war. What is does to people is just wrong.

I’m late to the party but… I served 10 yrs, my family has had members in every war since wwII, all in parachute infantry regiments (bct now). I have been to iraq 3x and Afghanistan once. My plan was for my son to continue this tradition but after the way it has been for me after coming home…. Absolutely not. I was screwed by the unit when I said I was not reenlisting. They took my squad from me and made me report and sit in the training room office all day, everyday until 48 hrs prior to my ets. I gave them 10 yrs and that is how I repaid. They “lost” my jump log so I had to randomly pay back years of jump pay out of the leave I sold back to the army. I performed my last jump 2 weeks prior to ets because… why not? But there was no record of me jumping in years, although I literally jmpi’ed the 1sg. I had to sell a lot of my stuff just to have money to get home. Upon returning home, I was severely depressed and had horrible anxiety. It took over 18 months for me to even get into the VA, and I was already much worse from self medicating. I could go on all day but why bother. Make your own choice, but my son’s decision is not his until he is no longer under my roof and I only need to tel him the truth to discourage him.

We spent a lot of money to try and get best value.

This brought tears to my eyes for two reasons: -I’ve had ptsd since I was 7, and I’ve been medicating for 6 years with cannabis. Watching and hearing what they feel/experience with ptsd makes me remember what it was like before and why I smoke so much I can barely walk straight. The alternative is so much worse. -I also came from a poor family with military members in it, and didn’t serve. We should give people an alternative at home, have a way to build OUR communities, instead of having to go overseas or serve just for an opportunity. That’s how the world will heal

Here’s my take on this, the borderline point of this all is the VA benefits and mental health institutions. The mental and physical scars incurred in battle are then forgotten amongst their entrance back into society. If the military’s budget seems extravagant might as well help those after the fight is over for them. Depression and PTSD don’t go away but there should be people who help them work with it. Congress’s inability to come up with a bipartisan agreement and pass a congressional order to help those even though they sent them to war in the first place makes me lose hope. Vietnam vets still say they see demons every night because they have no help of calming down their mental blemishes. That you for your service guys.

They talked about their experiences overseas and seeing the poor living conditions the people there had, but there doesn’t seem to be any verbal recognition of the fact that those conditions are a direct result of US imperialism that hinders economic development in those countries.

Afghanistan has been the way it is ever since the Soviet occupation, and even before that... Iraq was thriving in the '70s and 80's, and right before Iraqi Freedom the people were living pretty decent, not under "poor living conditions" for the most part, as you stated. Vietnam was dirt poor from the Japanese occupation, and the splitting of the country to North and South, not cos of the US, and look where they are now. A very decent not poor, not exactly rich developing country. So how was it that the countries that the US military has set foot in, were in "poor living conditions" as a direct result of US imperialism?

“We often think of peace as the absence of war, that if powerful countries would reduce their weapon arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapons, we see our own minds- our own prejudices, fears and ignorance. Even if we transport all the bombs to the moon, the roots of war and the roots of bombs are still there, in our hearts and minds, and sooner or later we will make new bombs. To work for peace is to uproot war from ourselves and from the hearts of men and women. To prepare for war, to give millions of men and women the opportunity to practice killing day and night in their hearts, is to plant millions of seeds of violence, anger, frustration, and fear that will be passed on for generations to come. ” - Thich Nhat Hanh
