The battle of Iwo Jima as recounted by aliens.

[@ryanpiercy3390]

that was my thought, dragons being the japanese imperial army.

[@JeffreyHiggins-s7t]

The nuke was the large crater

[@xBruceLee88x]

Hmm... Thought the Bismarck was German 😅

[@downunderprepparedness]

​@@xBruceLee88x reference is to the USS Bismarck Sea

[@RikkuEcRud]

I was about to ask if this was a fairy tale-ified recounting of Iwojima

[@paulbooth3953]

An interesting take on Iwo Jima. As a boot at MCRD San Diego, we were taught about the Pacific campaign. The betrayal of the Marines at Iwo Jima are a part of our lore. History is alive in this story. Good job.

[@ronellis9710]

My dad a navy radioman was both here and Okinawa. He rarely spoke of this and never when he was sober.

[@RADIOHFY]

My greatest respects to him. I hope the story honors the memory of all those that served in that battle.

[@TheJadeFist]

Something strange about calling one side the Terrans and the other the Dragon's when both sides would still be Terran.

[@Radio-hfy]

This was told by aliens thousands of years after the actual battle took place by a species that has not experiences inter-species warfare in millions of years. The terrans likely changed the story for many reasons maybe they are trying to hide our bloody history from the universe...

[@Netro1992]

Mythologization and dehumanization of the enemy is as old as humans themselves.

[@CarlGorn]

The quotes make me think they're interpreting the John Wayne film "The Sands of Iwo Jima." Which would be hilarious, the Saurians thinking it's a documentary.

[@mountainman5173]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[@DarrylCross]

Kinda like Mathesar in Galaxy Quest, thinking TV shows were Earth's "Historical Doucments"

Oh man, I love the old guy voice, Gotta send this to my Ute frens, Its a Perfect Native American accent and cadence. My Mothers side is Cherokee, I have experience and often have the same accent when telling the stories of my adventures in my Youth. I love this channel, the stories are very good and Your readers character voices reminds me of my Grandpa reading us bedtime stories, Sound effects, and incidentals like if a cat appears there will be a meow, or a dog then a bark bark, Horse a winny, Wolf a howl. I know you guys dont do that, but it reminds me of how good a story teller he was, he would meow at Grandmas Cat and it would turn around and be all, why is there another cat in my house. 😂

[@JMM33RanMA]

No offense intended just curiosity. One of the usual [AI?] voices that sounds like a young American, sometimes uses a stress intonation that I have heard from Native Americans. I might be mistaken as the only Native people I've talked to were Onondaga and Mashpee. It might just be a tone that many people occasionally use but these are the only contexts I've encountered. BTW When I revert to my family's accent I sound like a TV/movie actor faking a Boston accent badly. When I speak German I sound like a movie Nazi. 😓

[@davidcliatt1314]

Wonderful story telling voice 😊.

[@darkguild69]

I can't get over how much this narrator sounds like Ron Swanson lmao. I could see him sitting at his desk in city hall writing HFY fan fiction.

[@michaellinnet6095]

I loved this! An imaginative retelling of the battle for the island of Iwo Jima from the perspective of an alien whose story is colored with a mixture of factual information and the embellishments of the old John Wayne movie "The Sands of Iwo Jima". Well done 👍👍!

[@Fiddler455]

Great story, but I'd listen just to hear Guardbro narrating. Great story teller and has several of his own.

[@gryphenicedancer8796]

Nice, but for history I like The Fat Electrician. He does war and battle stories.

[@JMM33RanMA]

I recognized the source in the first few minutes, but I wasn't sure if it was Iwo Jima or one of the other hard fought battles in the Island Hopping Campaign. Given that the Dragon was one of the symbols of the Tenno [天皇] and the nature of the battles I was fairly sure of the fictionalized source. I have lived in Japan and taught many Japanese students there and in the US. Fortunately peace and even friendship now reigns between the Dragons and the Terrans.

[@RADIOHFY]

Imagine the horror when Kora realizes Terrans were fighting Terrans and not some extinct mythical beasts.

[@JMM33RanMA]

@@RADIOHFY The video does mention that there were heroes on both sides. That is a topic in need of exploration. Every human is capable of good, bad and heroism [including its negative].

[@RADIOHFY]

100% I tried to make it as clear as possible that humans tend to embellish and dehumanize the losing force. There were good people on both sides to be sure.

[@JMM33RanMA]

@@RADIOHFY Agreed, and specifically in this case I lived and worked in Japan and some other places. I know from experience that People are people, having the same potential everywhere. I wasn't suggesting that the content of this video was lacking, just that there is a topic hinted at there, that would make a good video. I congratulate you for your work on this channel.

[@roberttanguay8532]

There is nothing like taking a historic event and turning it into a piece of sci-fi 🫤 the narration was well done

It makes me so proud, remembering the day when the Bismark joined the battle of Iwo Jima!

@@LiveFreeOrDieDHIt was actually the USS Bismarck Sea which was sunk off Iwo Jima by a kamikaze attack - not to be confused with the more famous German Bismark.

[@robertescalante1154]

Ah'm gonna have to map out the Starbound Universe one of these days. Also, everyone knows tanks are made out of Gummi Bears and easily damaged by black sand (or sneezes). ^_^

[@RADIOHFY]

Keep in mind each writer writes their own universe. I’m not sure there is any crossover between us but that would be cool.

[@TheRealAaronSmith]

I can't help but point out that no matter how coarse your sand is, it's not wearing out tanks or armored vehicles quickly enough to make a difference. Now, the weight of them? That CAN be a legitimate concern, but they arent going to wear themselves out of an operable status that quickly. Even our oldest tanks should hold fine.

[@chrissouthgate4554]

Pebbles however can do a number on tracks. I am thinking the Canadians & Dieppe

[@RADIOHFY]

The sand on this wwii island was notorious for its black sand beaches of volcanic rock which did a number on the landing forces including tanks being stuck and broken on the beach.

[@ericsanders3977]

2v​@@RADIOHFY

[@TheRealAaronSmith]

@@chrissouthgate4554 sure, full on pebbles and small rocks can absolutely get caught in between the track and sprocket drive and throw the track. My point is mainly about the writer's idea of the sand physically damaging them enough. Stuck is one thing, and if you try to dig yourself out incorrectly, THAT might break something, but the sand is not going to wear them down that fast. Though it will eventually.

[@TheRealAaronSmith]

@@RADIOHFY my complaint is mainly about the idea of the sand wearing them out. Treated steels aren't going to be worn down that quickly. Eventually? Sure, but not immediately on contact. As I mentioned about the weight, getting stuck is a very possible scenario. That's the gamble with heavy, armoured vehicles.

[@Val_da_Shark]
