[@LSFA-KrissyL16]

ok it's funny enough that someone else has to do the quack every time too, but you'd think you and I were in the same room. it's always perfectly synced. even if I missed half a beat, eerie how many times you did too. cracks me up EVERY time. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Yo. Late to the party. Good video. Uncle Samuel was a Marine, never over his hate of the Japanese. Nightmares ended when he did.

[@CinesterCharlie]

Thanks. Appreciate it.

[@Irish381]

Beware an old man in a profession where young men die. Very True indeed.

[@CinesterCharlie]

Indeed sir

[@The-Administrator]

First time I’ve found your channel, love your voice man.

[@CinesterCharlie]

Oh hey thanks. I get that a lot.

[@Sarge80]

Actually the way TFE pronounces the Garant is correct.

[@CinesterCharlie]

Lol ok

[@GloriousShiva42]

@@CinesterCharlie Technically speaking both are correct pronunciations Guh-rand is the more American way of saying it, but since he was an expat they (The creator the M1 even specifying) preferred the like French-ish (I guess?) pronunciation? So, technically both are right. Kinda like how some regional dialects will stress different parts of words like some people say washer, and others somehow say waRsher. Hope this didn't come off rude

[@CinesterCharlie]

@@GloriousShiva42 No, it's not rude lol. You good doggie.

[@gk5891]

Different pronunciations are expected. Hyundai (official pronunciation) British - High-un-die American - Hun-day

[@chasemagness6824]

I literally subscribed because you thanked me for thanking your service on another video 😂 That's wild and possibly a power move😂😂

[@CinesterCharlie]

I just feel awkward when someone thanks me lol

[@chasemagness6824]

@@CinesterCharlie you signed up, and whether you saw active combat or not you were ready to play your part. Don't feel weird for it.

Fellow AZ resident here. What’s left of Camp Hyder is still there. Just west of Gila Bend.

[@CinesterCharlie]

Oh ok. I only know of Luke AFB.

[@GreyJedi369]

You know us GWOT era vets act like we wouldn’t want to go back but if we actually enter the FAFO era and our kids(for the older guys) and nephews and brothers and cousins (for the younger era) are being drafted I think we’d find new motivation.

[@charlesbryson7443]

“Lend/Lease” kept the allies in the fight before the US got involved, too. People tend to forget that.

[@twohorsesinamancostume7606]

To the point that Stalin, Kruschev and Zhukov all stated that if the U.S. hadn't initiated Lend/Lease, their military and nation would have collapsed under the German invasion. Food, clothing, boots, steel, gunpowder, money. That's just a partial list of the things that the U.S.S.R was all but completely out of when the first American shipment arrived.

[@iKvetch558]

Fat Electrician is amazing...and the fact that he is so entertaining AND factual is incredible considering he is still early in his history studies. But nobody is perfect, and a couple of things he says in this one are old information that is known to not be true. For one thing, US public opinion towards the war did not stay the same from 1939 to 1941 as Fat Electrician describes ...Gallup polling data proves that it had shifted sharply towards favoring US entry into the war by November 1941. FDR's ability to get the draft passed in September 1940 and then Lend Lease in March of 1941 tracks with the US public's shift of attitude towards doing more and more to help defeat Germany, even at the risk of being forced to actually get into the war. By November of 1941, 68 percent of Americans said it was more important for Germany to be defeated than it was for the US to stay out of the war...sources for this data are readily available on the web. Also...TIK did a great video on why Bitchler had to declare war on the USA that you really should watch. Short version is that Germany already had "touched the boats" by sinking US merchants and warships in the Atlantic, and Germany needed to touch a LOT more of them if they were to have any chance to defeat the British or the Soviets...or anyone else for that matter.

[@Some_who_call_me_Tiim]

21:23 there is sometimes so military about "good news, you're already cold"

[@CinesterCharlie]

That is very old school military grandfather language.

[@gregvanmatre5068]

Hey Charlie, another great reaction man. Love how he had to use me state in his vid. Hope you are staying chilled.

[@CinesterCharlie]

That's pretty cool man.

[@m2hmghb]

@@CinesterCharlie He walked home from cali to NJ after his discharge to get his head on straight. He never really spoke of the war, most of what we know is from his paperwork. The Marine Raider Association put out his obituary - that's how we found out he had been a Raider.

I've seen Heartbreak Ridge. Isn't that enough? Lol yeah, I know. Someday.

People keep saying that. I'll get to it someday.

[@brittanymorris898]

Where did you serve in the Navy? My family is a Navy family, with my grandfather serving in WW2, and my baby brother just completed his Navy service.

[@CinesterCharlie]

I was in a lot of place. Mostly homeported in Port Hueneme though.

[@brittanymorris898]

I bet you saw a ton of really cool places, and some pretty bad ones as well. My baby brother was stationed in Italy, the turd. I hope your day is going well!

@@brittanymorris898 Yeah, my first duty station was Greece. Had a lot of fun there.

@@brittanymorris898 No, ask away. From what a remember the water was nice lol.

[@darrenshoults4620]

I don't know, dead, broken or pregnant? Sounds like us sailors to me, at least for the Fighting Falls. Our ship broke Diego García a little island we were renting from Britain(as a base) plus the sailors from 3 other ships. Plus we managed to spend almost a year in the Persian Gulf in 1988-89. Because the White Stain left the bay and had to return in a hour, and Pier 19 couldn't make out of dock.

[@ParasitikOne]

Simple history did a pretty good video on Desmond.

[@CinesterCharlie]

Oh word up. I'll take a look at it.

[@Maeshalanadae]

Not to mention the fact that the entire time, just about, we were shipping supplies across the Atlantic through waters infested with German U-boats. We weren’t entirely on our ass even before our own bullets started. That said, though, our buddies up north were involved in it from the start… And ah, yes, S.T.E.A.L. Strategic Transfer of Equipment to Alternate Location.

[@CinesterCharlie]

It'll be a cold day in hell before I say anything nice about Canadians lol. Nah, they're ok I guess.

@@TheCanadianGuy56 Eh, it was a draw. And the war crimes in the First World War were on our enemies. Besides, our pancakes just wouldn’t be the same without true maple syrup. XD

[@flea10x6]

Explained Ukraine over the Russians. I believe the average Ukrainian soldier is older with experience - hence the “reconfiguration” of drones for more than reconnaissance- the configuration of kamikaze drone boats that took out the vaunted Russian Baltic Navy.

[@CinesterCharlie]

I mean, Ukraine is running out of young soldiers. Russia has more people.

[@Razgriz85]

I remember doing ROTC in college in my early 20s and they deprogrammed the anti-gun bullshit I'd been fed, since I was in elementary school, from my brain within the first few weeks. My own father is one of those "I support the 2nd Amendment but..." kind of people. The perfect meme for the 77th Division would be the "Winged Hussars" from the Sabaton song of the same name. He has a bad habit of saying "mortally wounded" instead of "critically wounded."

[@DarthDragon007]

Man, when you talk about the extreme shite soldiers go through, the 77th should come out on top since this was all training and not actual field.

[@CinesterCharlie]

Yeah maybe. I wouldn't really know about that.

[@thenakedtruth0205]

right way, wrong way and the military (navy, army, airforce, coast guard, marine corp and now space force way) way!

[@CinesterCharlie]

Something like that lol.

[@allya8028]

Check out sabatons song Bismarck , the Christmas truce , or no bullets fly

[@CinesterCharlie]

I've seen it before. I like Sabaton.

The correct pronunciation is "eM one Grand" trust me bro.

[@CinesterCharlie]

I trust you...for now

[@Crash-042]

​@@CinesterCharlie The way you pronounced it was the way the original inventor pronounced his last name, but apparently the war department decided to change it for easier pronunciation. Would still recommend fact checking, the audio and quote on my source could still be wrong
