I noticed, when editing my videos recognizing ANZAC Day, that I never once mentioned the Kiwis. I never meant to slight their sacrifices, and I want to recognize them now. They stood shoulder to shoulder with the diggers and fought bravely.

A soldier can never leave his post. Crippled, disfigured or both, mentally or physically, if you don't have a supportive family, you will always be alone. The fight never ends, just the battlefield changes. You can cry, you can scream, you can rage at the whole world, It doesn't matter, no-one will help you, there is no silver lining, it only exist in fairy tales. You are just dead weight. Though you put your body trough the meat grind for reasons that you thought was justified, still people will look at you funny, some will literally spit on your face just for fun. Never expect mercy from anybody, humanity has lost that kindness.

i'm in the UK, i'm not a 'vet' but my uncle is (Iraq, Kosovo, and Ireland) Tanks, Kings Royal Hussars, I remember going to Orlando about 18 years ago and being in Seaworld, before doing a show the person doing it asked veterans to stand for applause in recognition of their service. My uncle refused to. he doesnt want all that, it was just a job he did to him. And i know there must be things, memories in his head from what he saw during those years he served but you wouldnt know it if you saw him, i think he is, outwardly at least, one of the most laidback people i know.. That thing you said about the fact that there are organisations set up to help veterans shows that our governments dont give a shit is something i absolutely agree with and can relate to, i was born with a disability, can't do that walking thing, 'my people' are another group with these organisations designed to help us because our governments won't, although they think they are.

I've done a few soldier genre stories on a website, and I do so not only because I generally wish people would stop treating our veterans like garbage or that I'm grateful we have soldiers to protect our country, which I do wish and I am, but because my elderly uncle was also a Vietnam veteran and my other uncle I believe is still a soldier today. My latest story as of right now is a faith-based story about a widow who goes out of her way to save countless veterans. Consider that story as a second thanks from me for the service of our vets.

To break this video down is it details a fog of war friendly fire incident where the one guy lost his mind and shot two of his fellow soldiers if you watch closely. So the guy shot the black guy then then bearded guy & got jailed. This is what the video is saying. Watch it again you will see what I saw.
@benetnasch20968 ай бұрын
That's an interesting take for certain but it's definitely far from correct. The song and video are about PTSD and its effects on veterans. It also shows that it effects people differently. Early in the video you see the black man get shot and the bearded man drags him to safety and places him in the vehicle. Later in the video you see the same black man dressed in a business suit find the now homeless bearded man. Or the scene of the homeless vet being arrested only for the cop to see that they have the same unit tattoo, indicating they served together.
