My father was 2nd Armored, 82nd recon from Sicily to berlin. Served from North Africa. Silver star. Took him to see Saving Private Ryan in 98. After the movie ended he just sat there, my mother at his side, for quite a while. People walking out just looking. Went for ice cream after, my wife asking if the movie was real. He looked down and said, yea the most real was the sounds of rounds bouncing off steel BUT he said, when the soldier was stabbed bothered him because at that time in the war he carried 2 .45's, a carbine and at least one grenade and there's no way that he would have been in that position Plus when you had no ammo you moved, as simple as that. Even before, once your pos was discovered you moved Days later my mother said after the movie, he told her the hardest part was him hearing "earn this", "tell me I lived a good life" She said after returning home from the war he would awake screaming at her in German in his sleep for a few years My father was a good man, raised 8 kids, and never said a word about the war. Always told his sons to not enlist, not trust the government.

[@flokejm3904]

A scene that was overlooked was when the German soldier sees norm under the tank when he shines the flashlight on him. It was such a beautiful moment of, yes we’re enemies but we’re still both human.

[@GLevario12]

It was a young soldier, i wonder if they were trying to put across that Norm wasn't an exception in this war. Both sides were throwing in young men some of which maybe didn't want to kill anyone. He did what Norm at the start would have done or that Polygot from Saving Private Ryan did with the German Soldier that came back in the end.

[@lethalchocobo1886]

Doesn't fit their narrative and would clash with their appallingly dumb "I would shoot unarmed NaZIs in the back without a second thought" stance, forgetting that not every german soldier was a convinced one and out for blood. The one Norman had to shoot was a regular soldier, not a Waffen SS.

[@KumaBean]

@Geoff Your comment and that scene in the film remind me of this, stick it into your search engine if you fancy a read; ‘ World War One: The British hero who did not shoot Hitler’ Basically, a British Soldier was in his trench and he could see someone approaching, when they got closer he could tell it was a German, neither shot at each other and the German turned back to find his own trench. That German soldier was Hitler. 🍻

[@ThunderChunks]

But shooting the german POW is ok, I guess?

[@prestonasher32]

@@GLevario12that’s probably what the film is going for, but it’s somewhat hard to believe someone like that would exist within an SS battalion. By that point in the war, the only people left in the ss battalions were some absolute diehards who fully drank the kool-aide. He was far more likely to just kill the enemy soldier than let him live.

[@jojoemcgeejoe457]

I think what a lot of people miss is that where they're at in the opening scene is because they're the only tank in their platoon to survive a battle with a Tiger tank. When they're in the first camp and the tank commanders are talking, one says something like "I thought there were no more tigers left" and Brad Pit replies with "tell that to the rest of my platoon". The tiger they fight in the field later in the day is the second time they were the last tank standing in the same sort of battle... that day. The entire movie was one full 24 hour day. Sunrise to sunrise.

I did not go that deep into the egg scene in my mind I'll be honest. You guys just opened up a whole new side to something I've seen a dozen times. Holy shit.

[@TheCoolwhipped]

Ya I definitely didn't see it that way. I saw it as Shia being jealous that the kid still had some innocence left and he was pissed at Brad Pitt for feeding it. Like "I can never go back to that because of the things I had to do to keep you alive, and now you're gonna sit here and exercise that civility with the kid, knowing full well that we can't anymore? Fuck you. If can't have it, no one can." Especially since right after that, the mortar round hits the house, killing her, and, metaphorically, everything she meant to him.

Dude, really connected w/ the dinner scene in the same way Buck described - trying to tap into a sense of normalcy in a war zone. Case in point - saw this flick in my down time in Afghanistan while trying to chill out. The part where the young girl starts to sing with the playing of the piano actually made me close my eyes bc it sounded so beautiful, and I was instantly removed from where I was. I rewound that part 3 more times to do the same thing bc it was access to one of the only parts of the world I left behind that seemed right at my finger tips. We do what we have to to feel normal at times. Keep up the good work guys.

[@dingchavez7]

As a current M2A1 50 gunner. He's effectively using the weapon system as an indirect weapon. He's utilizing plunging fire to put rounds down range. Your commentary and explanation was 100% correct.

[@rocc_the_proof8540]

The dinner scene in Fury may be the best scene ever filmed behind the “you think I’m funny how” scene from The Goodfellas. Or Vice versa. So gritty. So beautiful.

[@jodyhannah5931]

For me, as a veteran tanker, the best scene was the battle with the Tiger. Pretty much accurate for how a mixed M4 group would have dealt with a Tiger. For reference the original squad Fury had was 2 M4A2, 1 looked like an M4A3 with an M4A2 turret and "Fury" is an M4A3E8. Only 2 of the 4 tanks had the 76mm gun while the others had the more common 75mm. None of which could reliably penetrate the front armor of a Tiger. I've had so many people say that charging the Tiger was stupid, but the fact was M4s were faster and more agile, but had shit armor compared to the Tiger. Getting to the sides or the rear was the only option.

[@ajjohnson3497]

I don’t know their doctrine back then, but I agree with you. You’re presenting your thickest armor to his gun, you’re moving and forcing him to move his turret and both tanks know that the Sherman is faster. Even if it was their doctrine, I know that it’s a movie and I loved it.

[@Hi-how-are-you-today.]

[@rodeorockr9]

I think you guys nailed the interpretation of that scene. You can’t be normal after seeing and doing the things required of you in combat. Especially back then. This was such an underrated scene

[@chrisc.2591]

Ok, I have to say I stumbled onto this probably because I've watched other Veterans do a reaction video to movies and just sit there and do nothing poop on the movie. But what what I love and what this channel does so well is the "why" something is happening and the incredible insight and stories shared makes it so much more engaging. BTW, thank you for your service!

[@hinds90]

The tank commands and vehicle movements as a team are 100% spot on. Brought a tear to my seeing how well the excuted that. Was a Bradley gunner and commander for a little also.

[@youngwildcat08]

Really? I was under the impression that taking a Tiger head on was pretty contrary to the actual tactics. Maybe I’m wrong though…

[@zoch9797]

@@youngwildcat08 Also, it is standard doctrine to shoot the lead tank in a column, not the rear. Fury is a very entertaining, if somewhat hollywood-ized, film.

[@politicallyinsensitive4200]

@@zoch9797 I think it was Rommel who developed the tactic of liking the lead and trail vehicles to cut off escape

[@politicallyinsensitive4200]

@@youngwildcat08 iirc Sherman was lighter and faster so the tactic was to get around the Tiger sacs shoot it in the ass where the arbor was thinnest. Had to do that from 800yd or whatever it was so they had to close the distance. Personally, of the trees weren't too thick I'd have drove through them using them for concealment and tried to flank the field.

[@iKvetch558]

@@politicallyinsensitive4200 The Fury had the 76mm high velocity gun, and so could defeat the Tiger from the front at range of 800m, even further since this was later in the war and they had HVAP rounds available...so there was not much of a need for them to close the range. On the flip side, the long barrel of the 76mm made Fury even more of a target...so the fact that the Tiger did not shoot Fury first was very unrealistic. And the thing is, they did not have to be unrealistic to be dramatic...they could have just had Fury be a Sherman with a regular 75mm gun, and it would have made multiple historical issues just disappear. In fact, had Fury been a regular gun Sherman, the movie could have been even more dramatic. IMHO Anyway, it is a great movie in many ways, but there were quite a few things they got wrong that probably would have been better if they had tried to be more accurate and...it could have been so much better. ✌

[@alexandermcdowell4755]

The crew dynamic is 100% on point for how tank crews behave around each-other.

[@tenhauser]

The scene with the captain also shows how an experienced officer interacts with an NCO, as opposed to the new lieutenant.

[@raymondsmith7993]

Yes the lieutenant was spouting orders and using hand signals that are for use in combat when your men can't hear you because of all the noise in battle when they were 3 feet from them and no shooting or artillery going off. And the captain just lays out the situation and objective to Wardaddy and says I know who you are. Meaning also that he knew he was a seasoned tank commander and said now go paste them hard and get my men out. He also tells his platoon leader of his men that he sent as support that you are working for him now. Letting him know with out a any question who was in charge of the operation.

[@twoheadedboypt2]

The take on the egg scene is enlightening. As someone who tried to serve, wasn't able to and always has a huge regret and I guess shame, hearing stuff like this that feels it comes from personal experience and being able to relate as well as friends who did serve telling me they're glad I didn't , having not to go through that change, that loss of innocence/humanity.

Thomas Guides were AWESOME. It did take some getting used to, I'll admit, but I used them heavily from '98 to '01, all over the US. The front of the book had the high level map for the area (Mine were usually states, but some were more focused), on the high level view were squares that were labeled with pages that hold the detail. On the edge of a detail page the adjacent detail page is identified.

[@robblume3082]

Thomas Guide sounds like the Mapsco we used all over Central TX (78-82)

[@madcat3525]

Great show.The Tiger tank used in the movie was the last operational tank. The tank was on a straight concrete strip to protect it from getting damaged. Thats why you see it only going back and forward. Looking forward to more videos.

[@Rufus6540]

What's interesting is that most of the negative reactions to the tank battle state it's completely unrealistic tactically speaking (in terms of how the respective tank commanders act, who/how they choose to shoot, tactics involved, etc.). Knowing the Tiger could only move back and forward helps clear up, for me, a lot of the decisions the filmmakers made.

[@conamer6738]

Tiger tank would not leave it's cover and concealment, and Fury would have been targeted first as the greatest threat with it's 76.2mm high velocity gun. It could defeat the frontal armor of a Tger I at 500yrds

Thank you for your service, i love watching you two break down movies from the unrealistic to the real. With this movie I felt that Brad Pitts character connecting with the younger solider at the dinner scene was my favorite part of the movie, so many emotions in that scene. The part that i most appreciated in that scene is when Jon Bernthal licks the egg from that girls plate but Brad Pitt switches plates with her and starts eating the egg not giving a shit about someone else's saliva being on it, almost like he was saying "You're my boy but fuck you! You're not ruining this moment for me!" And then of course after that everyone on the team starts to open up to each other... brilliant moment of that movie.

As a fan of history I could not watch this FAKE ASS movie. Every scene is so inaccurat that it would take 4 hours to go over everything they got wrong. This is worse than Pearl Harbor.

[@ajjohnson3497]

It’s a movie. There isn’t actually a place called Narnia. I’m a veteran and Abrams Gunner, the filmmakers were telling a story about a tank crew and they did a damn good job at it.

Let me ratchet up my pants and tell youins a story... I was a M60 tanker at first, then transitioned to the M1 in the 1980's. I agree that the M60 was a steel coffin, but not an M1. Your only real fear is from aircraft overhead, but they are now carrying stingers on the M1 in some units?. An infantry man can possibly take out a track, but you are safe inside. He'd better run for his life after firing. The WW2 M4 Sherman in Fury was a steel coffin for sure. The soldiers and marines fighting in those had some real cajones. Going up against those German Panthers, and Tigers, oh shit! Worse even still, the Jagdpanther. This was a tank destroyer. It had that wicked 88mm gun, and was really fast. They could really reach out and touch you. We, Americans enjoyed air superiority in ww2, so we did not have to face the stutka bombers like other armies had to.

That portion where you talk about that green beret getting med evaced was one of the most touching parts of “Rising Above”. when u speak of that moment i recall it immediately.

Love the options analogy ! 👌

As an EMT a few years ago, we would use a Thomas guide to route to a call. The mobile data terminal had a Thomas guide grid reference in accordance with the call. It was relatively easy once you got the hang of it. I made sure every new hire was proficient in it because it was the last resort to find the location. Abel, the Thomas guide still exists.

Loving this it went from making me genuinely laugh to real talk fast i like that also tunk

21:00 Lol Yeah I remember Thomas Guides back in the 80s getting around Los Angeles.

My father was 1-1 of Team Iowa CCC in Vietnam and I had the chance to meet his LT 1-0. I had a chance to sit down and talk to him about being an special operations team leader as an LT. I learned more about leadership in that one hour than I did in 4 years of officer training.

[@sargoodwin]

Thomas Guides were a part of every road trip as a kid. They used to be on all our fire apparatus until they stopped making them. Miss those things

[@pointermom7641]

So happy to find this channel. Those damn glory hounds, the Navy Seals, get all the publicity. As a former Army officer, I know the Green Berets are better. I am an old lady - almost 70 - but a marathon runner. I want to do more strength training and will follow some of your links. Also, I loved “Fury”.

[@JSp4wN]

I had to use the Thomas guide for the first 10 years of my career in construction. I'm glad I learned how to use one because when shtf I'll still be able to navigate.

[@willm708]

Great content, I have seen a few of your vids so far (Lone Survivor, We were Soldiers, and this one). Keep it up and ty for your service. My brother did 2 long tours in Iraq. I used a Thomas Guide when I worked for a propane company in SoCal. It was for both San Diego and Riverside counties. It was the best thing ever, super easy to use. It didn't have actual addresses, just streets/roads. Grid system on each page, index to look up the street on whichever page and grid on that page. The addresses were up to you to find. Pretty much between that and the delivery job I had before for years, all I ever need is a map, a crossroad, and the address.

[@zachcd390119]

Fury is a movie that, when it the showing finished, everyone was silent as they left the theater. It is fantastic. Imperfect, but so well done.

[@jeremygegogeine5865]

Great video informative and entertaining!

[@bommie]

Happy new year dudes! 🎉 I really hope you'll eventually watch Triple 9! Dying to see how you critique the breaching/room clearing as you have experience on the Teams as well as in LEO and I want to see how well it was portrayed. Never seen anything that intense in Hollywood. Cheers from the 501st in Alaska, AATW! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@darthjoo8896]

On roadtrips as a kid I used to love using the old flip maps that the Dept of Transportation would send. You could send them the start and end address and a check. You would get a bound custom flip map that took you through the whole route. Your route was highlighted yellow. But if you missed a turn you have just a small area of map around your route to get you back on track.

[@rsmith7292]

I always had a Thomas Guide in my truck! Used the grids! Great review!

[@brendonford3838]

The second I saw a trailer for this movie I was worried that it would disappoint, and when we got to the end of this scene I knew I could leave satisfied. Superb performances, casting, writing, etc.

[@Dannywhittle257]

That story you told about keep feeding nades to that cowboy😅sounds like me playing medal of honor warfighter 😂I've had to do that to end up completing on veteran difficulty ,kept asking voodoo for nades against the technicals on the level shut it down ,literally right at the end of the game ,my advice is bring your own nades to that cowboy ,its like turning up to to gunfight with a catapult and a rolling pin ,like "dude, what you planning ?"

[@muddyboots1881]

I remember using a Thomas Guide (similar) and the big maps at the border of every town to try and navigate to the address... When GPS came along it saved us two hours a day!

[@terrys2735]

I loved my Thomas Guide! I was a motorcycle messenger in Los Angeles in 1987 and used it multiple times per day.

[@caspertoo]

my department issued Thomas Guides until like 2014, the rural part of our county was outside the guide and all we had out there was state wide maps and forest maps.

[@christineshotton824]

The map comments are hilarious! I grew up in the 1970s and map reading was just one of those things that everybody knew how to do. You needed to if you drove a car. If you didn't, you would never be able to go anywhere you weren't already familiar with. Out in the country, for camping or hunting trips, we used a compass and topo maps. Clearly, modern tech has made that skill set rare in younger people. PS I love your movie reviews. The stories you tell when you get side tracked are awesome.

[@harmonyintegration6612]

lived by my map book! being able to go from page 43 following a road in the corner that skipped to page 37 then immediately to 22 just to figure out it didn't go through to the neighborhood you're trying to find... loved those days when just driving around town was a challenge. if we ever loose gps most people are going to be so screwed in very short order
