[@reshpeck]

I ETSed only about 5 months before AC must have enlisted. I signed up in March of 2001. I did not anticipate deploying to war only two years later when I signed that dotted line. Anyone who enlisted after September 11th knew what they were getting themselves into, I would think, but most of my fellow basic trainees were probably just as mentally unprepared for the future as I was. I know I would have taken the training a bit more seriously if I had.

16:32 Is a amazing piece of this video. If I am correct I think its a missed cut from editing and your clicking to your next page of "script" or talk points and info. I just absolutely love how perfect the camera goes out of focus, you fix the hat, hit next page and get right back into it. I love to see snipits of life like this as I find it always reassuring I'm not the only one who does it and also I think it gives a good look behind how much goes into this. Being a videographer and also theater nerd the beauty of your acting, story telling and genuinality of it just makes for one of the best creators out there. Thank for all your hard work and phenomenal breakdowns. Its truly is a inspiration let alone your other achievements!

I never served, but that ending, when you spoke about how many might have died, all I could think of was, "They are God's soldiers now." I bet you've heard it plenty but I can't be more sincere about it, Thank you for your service Hy.

@@christianpinion3350 No, he's the one that takes reports from snitches and then eventually from losers as they try to lie their way out of charges that may or not be pending, depending upon the evidence that has been gathered and of course, "their statement".

Totally guessed delta. This was when the Army had serious balls. The utmost respect for you and your peers in this video AC.

[@liquidbraino]

Yep, wasn't this before they brought back the "stress cards"? I was there at the same Battalion seven years earlier and remember the Drill Sergeants telling us about them. We all laughed.... then they brought them back. It's sad, seems like the Army is getting weaker and weaker every year. No more "shark attack" etc. Hell that was the best part for me! Remembering back on it anyway - I was pissing my pants at the time. But thinking back it was hilarious.

@@jnoutdoors268 not to mention Biden just basically gave all our natural gas and oil to Russia when he cancelled the tens of thousands of jobs to have our own resources. You noticed how gas has increased over 150% in most places? If he kept the keystone and other places we planned on digging for oil gas would likely be almost as cheap as before 2008. Ya know, like $1-2 Max, because we have more natural oil and gas than the entirety of the Middle East.
