For real. What others have said, the Mexican guy who fabricated the front fenders, regardless of what he’s paid give him a raise. Those aluminum welds are impressive.

[@zfilmmaker]

How do you know he’s Mexican? Or are all Latinos Mexican to you? It’s more politically correct and less insulting just to say Latino. Just sayin.

[@garthjensen245]

@@zfilmmaker if he would of said latino you would of still complained, Latinos are from latin america/and or MEXICO aka mexican. Politically correct would to say he is chicano. The man cant give any credit without someone ragging on him? I agree though, the chicano does great work.

[@zfilmmaker]

@@garthjensen245 there’s a checklist podcast of Hans talking about being bullied at school and feeling insecure and hurt by jokes and insensitive things others said. My point wasn’t to insult him, just question his actions.

[@garthjensen245]

@@zfilmmaker I understand that 100%, and I don't promote bullies. What I'm saying is is the man was giving the Chicano/Latino/Mexican props for his good work. No bullying. We don't know where the dude is from. I live all around Mexicans, I love them all, and they love me lol.. they embrace being called a mexican because thats where they are from is mexico and they wear it proudly. Chances are.... He's Mexican

[@zfilmmaker]

@@garthjensen245 No, he's always insulting them in some way and they just laugh it off. You can tell the latinos aren't completely comfortable with it. Anyway, it's not really important to keep discussing, I just made an observation based off things Hans has said about himself. It's obvious he's incredibly sensitive even today. He wouldn't like someone joking the same way to him.

[@davidgillard4995]

What an awesome build guys. I love the way that Americans treat their Veterans. I am an Australian Military IRAQ Veteran. We don’t get the support that your population gives to your Vets. Outstanding job as always from the Sparks team. 👍🏼🇦🇺🇺🇸🤘🏻

[@RRRIBEYE]

This is how *WE THE PEOPLE* treat our Veterans. Sadly, our government would rather stifle, censor and lock up our Veterans lately!!!

[@torxxx1]

the veteran support in the US is far and few. Its private individuals going out of their way that make stuff like this happen. As far as the government and public goes, its literally non existent which is sad. Thank you to the veterans! We appreciate the sacrifices y'all made for our freedoms

[@robc5736]

We should all do better for our vets! Thank you for your service wherever you are from!!!

[@rpetersen2]

As an American veteran, definitely not the case as what the US acts like they support us well. But that is horribly wrong in real life. Most vets end up with mental breaks and/or homeless from drinking or drugs to self medicate because they don't take care of is worth a shit with all honesty and I've had family legit killed by their health care system and we won the malpractice suits against them as proof as I lost a 2nd cousin and my grandfather to their mistakes and negligence and I myself have gotten what i feel is the worst care but hey, its free because I risked my life and almost died 15 times. Yay (written in sarcasm)! Plus you gotta love waiting months to get something resolved to the point the entire process is such an inconvenience its like they want us to not use their care system.

[@davidgillard4995]

@@rpetersen2 all true and our government in Australia is very similar. My comment is to do with the people of America, not the government.

[@user-xb5zs2gr4h]
