RAD MAN!

[@saltyaussie7702]

Gallbladder might be the issue with the bird. With emu's avoid the bladder because it spoils the meat when butchering.

[@IdleAndHungry]

Ruben had me laughing so hard I fell off my chair when he was talking about that poor bird.

[@FNGACADEMY]

The Ruben will return!

[@angelinasecatero7507]

Reuben is funny af. I haven't seen Buck belly laugh so much during the seagull sequence, except for the Tropic Thunder episode. I enjoyed the humor, it was an awesome movie with great commentary. Keep it up guys.

[@guyperson6417]

Mike ? Mike? Mike?

[@JayDubb3BCT]

At first I was like damn Abel looks different!? 😂 Good episode guys! 🤘🏼🇺🇲

[@larrypeterson1227]

I did not realize how much SERE school entailed. Huge eye opener. Thanks again for teaching me.

[@FNGACADEMY]

You bet!

[@felithehero4506]

Ruben is dope asf and more guest too for sure

[@jacobcoryell8258]

Every time I think I'm a badass I remember these heroes and I just get humbled

[@10Cnote]

The film is awesome and so is the review, Ruben is hilarious. Also the Japanese actor didn’t spend any time with Jack O’Connell who played Zamperini because he wanted to able to really act hateful without knowing him because that would cloud his mind during his performance.

[@egraseidannogew]

Thank you Ruben for your many years of service and congrats on the DD214. Hope to see you on more Beers & Breakdowns... possibly in place of Abel? p.s. Some movies I'd like to see ya'll react to are The Great Raid, U-571, and Hunter Killer.

[@clarencebryant8292]

Love the concept of guests across the entire military spectrum. There are so many awesome troopers in so many MOSs (sorry, I'm speaking for the Army) & not just the special ops community. Coolest dude i ever met was a diesel mechanic from Montana while i was the stereotypical kid from Brooklyn...

[@Convoycrazy]

I think having guests come hang out and speak a little is a great idea. I like you three *in a platonic way* but I think differing guests will make each episode vibe differently and I think it would keep things fresh and it might attract more viewers too. I always joke about my “production value” in a sarcastic way but you guys have a really good thing going here. Hope it continues & grows

[@FNGACADEMY]

I totally agree!

[@squeakysneakers6685]

I would love to see you guys breakdown "The Kingdom". Thanks for all you do. Ive watched nearly every breakdown vid and you guys crack me up. 🐭 You also drop really good information.

[@Aniwaya]

Loved this movie, the book, and this episode. Thank you everyone for your service.

[@FNGACADEMY]

thanks bro

[@johnnyboy6707]

Good review guys. Don’t know if you’ve seen it, but there’s an old movie with Gregory Peck called Twelve O’clock High that, I believe, is still shown to cadets at the Air Force Academy to this day for leadership instruction. It’s about the WW2 Army Air Corps side of things. These guys had it bad, worse than I would’ve thought. These guys were assigned a fixed number of missions they had to complete before being eligible to return home. The chance of surviving all of them was slim. Check it out when you get a chance..great movie.

[@RobSandman]

@Johnny Boy That's a great Movie!, Catch 22(Book and Film) make a heavy mention of the Missions "flown and needed to be flown" aspect of Piloting being gnarly as hell and rough on people too. There is a strange perception that Air Force people had it easy in comparison. All areas of War have their own unique and common difficulties!.

[@WordToMomsYo]

Ruben is cool as hell! Definitely enjoyed having him as a guest, and would totally have him on future episodes. Generally speaking, I think it's a really great idea to have rotating guests, especially veterans, as it keeps the show concept feeling fresher.

[@ConservativeTeacherReacts]

I got the privilege of meeting Louis Zamporini ar Sgts course at 29 Palms when he discussed his whole life for a. couple hours, the .Oviedo is good, the book is great, but hearing his story from the legend himself is life changing.

[@Ir0neye]

When was this?

[@ConservativeTeacherReacts]

@@Ir0neye 2004

[@gmaqwert]

Read the book. It was far, far superior to the movie.

[@maverickslastoddworld6476]

Same here such a good book

[@Antares-rt5ub]

I thought the movie was really good

[@gmaqwert]

@@Antares-rt5ub it was good. But the book is much better. Goes into much more detail.

[@andrewwebb-trezzi2422]

Arguably one of the greatest books of a generation

[@gregfeelynegsyourfavoriteverse]

Read it my senior year of high school, it’s one of my favorite books ever.

[@dorianwylie9000]

Awww man this was one of the funniest videos i have seen with you both in tears over the seagull scene 😂😂😂 both of you gents are absolute legends 🤣🤣

[@tvushington6994]

Ruben was such a dope addition to this amazing channel! Hope to see more of him for sure 🤙🏽

[@jameskastle599]

I really would like to hear more Police stories from you. I think that's why you should make more criminal-movies breakdowns.

[@aarone1981]

When do we continue the Band of Brothers series? In the Unbroken book, the sharks were a huge part of the story. He was constantly fending off Oceanic Whitetips with his paddle, and at one point a massive great white shark came to investigate his raft! The book is so much better than the movie...

[@kjef8834]

yup - also wld love 2c more BOBros

[@matthewconrad4728]

There is definitely a difference in landing style when your flying on a plane that’s flown by naval aviators as opposed to air force pilots. Air Force definitely seems to float the plane down where as naval aviators put the plane down on the ground hard and fast and keep it down. Difference between runway training and carrier training for sure

[@oldman9110]

I was pretty sure in the special features or commentary, they talk about it in the elbow to show Louie Zamperini the film before he died

[@michaelmcclung407]

WWII Bomber crews actually did have exit strategies- "bail out procedures" and WERE issued parachutes, the problem is that parachutes are bulky to wear, and it wasn't practical to wear in the tight small spaces. Imagine trying to wear your rucksack inside a tank. So many kept them under their seats and prayed they'd be able to still be alive and put it on and follow the bail-out-procedures.

[@Canuckbeaverton]

I got a buddy who graduated as an aerospace engineer. Knows the physics of flight and the rigorous safety precautions better than the average person. And he fucking HATES flying. He thought if he became an expert, he'd conquer his fears. 5 months into working at an aerospace firm, he realized "naw, this ain't gonna work" and is a lawyer now lol.

[@FNGACADEMY]

lmao that's awesome

[@RealismAndHonor]

Rubens the man! Stand up guy from what I've seen so far

[@warhammer312]

Bruh, Reuben is fucking awesome! He definitely has the Army thought process and humor for everything! loved this episode!

[@kjef8834]

"What happened 2 Abel? - we upgraded" - - ha ha ha, my guy. Great episode boys . . . not sure but did we have a look at Hurt Locker? - great movie and wld b interested in ur special forces take and some of the potentially sketchy tactics in that 1. Another review that I'd love 2 see - - 'Aliens' - the one with the Space Marines . . love the movie and think it would be great to hear UR views on their tactics too ("Keep it tight people") ;)

[@nothingnewtome1]

Hurt Locker SUCKS. Bro. Go watch saving private ryan or something. Hurt locker isn’t “sketchy tactics” it’s just all out Hollywood fantasy. It’s valuable only for a lesson on how to not make a war movie.

[@kjef8834]

@@nothingnewtome1 Well . . . (yawn) . . Ur entitled 2 UR opinion bla bla bla but will let the professionals give their take on the Hollywood fantasy; the boys asked 4 content ideas so that's wat I'm givin - mayB U shld stop yappin, Go watch something & give URS

They’ve done Hurt Locker already. But them doing Aliens would be a blast!

Great movie! Great review,always really enjoy your content! 🤘🇺🇸

[@604Maffia]

love the FNG, good shit!

[@samuelvaldez4963]

Great breakdown! Great movie!!!

[@juanbriandoyle]

I read about a group of german soldiers who were made prisioners when Stalingrad front surrended and they were separeted in 10 men groups. Each group got a cabbage to eat every day, so, if a man died in the group they got less cabbage. So a german doctor came up with the idea of making the dead stand in formation every day to be counted as living so they could still get a whole cabbage per group. It was freezing cold in siberia so they kept the bodies in pretty good shape and they hold them during formatios. Russians werent very thorough counting, they just wanted to get in to their own cabbins and go to drink vodka. Greetings from Argentina.

[@MonumentToSin]

This movie absolutely deserved more praise and attention. The academy didn't even consider it for any awards just because they have a personal vendetta against the director.

[@FNGACADEMY]

I agree

[@indiandeuce]

If you’ve ever been inside one of these WW2 bombers you’ll know why they didn’t have parachutes on. They are very cramped and they couldn’t move around inside with a chute on.

[@stephencouch4830]

Good job on the breakdown. ,👍 FNG Ruban your ok I'm sure we will see more of you

[@Moredakka123]

If you decide to do a 2023 highlight reel the seagull comments need to be in it 😂

[@WC15-g9r]

There are probably so many similar stories out there and they all need to be told to remind us of the living hell that so many endured so we can be free and safe.

[@dsumner1234]

At some point I'd like to see you guys react to the Great Raid, and a few older films, namely A Bridge to Far, the Dogs of War, the Final Option/Who Dares Wins, and the Wild Geese.

[@nothingnewtome1]

Dirty Dozen

[@nothingnewtome1]

Big Red One

[@nothingnewtome1]

Hamburger Hill, Firebase Gloria, 84 Charlie Mo-pic, Platoon Leader, Tour of Duty (show)

[@DSToNe19and83]

Is the great raid the one about the prisoner rescue and mucci’s raiders? If so that’s a good one. 84 Charlie mopic is a great one as well, a uncle was a mopic officer and had me watch that long ago.

[@dsumner1234]

Hamburger Hill would also be a good one. There's a 50's war movie called Pork Chop Hill that's pretty good as well.

[@ScttTee]

Been here since the first beers and breakdowns ....can you guys do a breakdown of an episode of Southland

[@vigilantelul4713]

Thanks for all the videos you all do. This one was amazing. I haven't belly laughed like that in ages! Thank you for that. One unlucky seagull. Lmao!

Are you going to continue with Band of Brothers?

yup! doing all the shows beginning to end The Pacific, BOB, Terminal List, Generation Kill

[@BajaJonny]

@@FNGACADEMY Great! Looking forward to it!

[@markborromeo1001]

The scenes with Japanese imperial soldiers' brutality is something. Feels like its going to happen again soon but this time with the Chinese. Hope you guys review The Great Raid with the 6th Ranger Battalion.

[@Christopher-cr7pw]

Love the guests

[@tayvencook8619]

Love you guys so much, but could you guys please post more content other than beers and breakdowns. I think vlog or range say videos would be fun. Maybe even reactions to police videos. Thanks guys, again, y’all are awesome!

“That’s a cool landing spot!” 😂😂😂

[@spencerfong1088]

Great commentary great guest haha

[@FNGACADEMY]

thank you!

[@kvl505]

Louis Zamperini was a complete bad ass hero. After all the torture and mistreatment he forgave his Japanese tormentors. He was an exceptional human being. But the coward prison guard, 'The Bird", Mutsuhiro Watanabe was a cowardly little puke, not worthy of the human condition. Many Japanese soldiers like the bird actually enjoyed seeing people suffer till they died( sadists). There should have been more war crimes trials for these poor excuses for humans from Japan WWII.

[@animula6908]

I read this book to my grandmother while she was on hospice. I was vividly afraid she would pass away with that man still in Japanese custody or all messed up from it. It was a whole new victory for America when I got to show her the picture of him in his 80s on a skateboard.

[@toddgermain3858]

Those warriors in the POW camps had it especially rough in far east camp's it seems. Just abhorrent treatment of another human being. Even when a kid & hearing so much about Vietnam war POW's horrible treatment it just didn't make sense to me. My family and I have been involved in K9 rescue for over a decade now and the cruelty humans are capable of is just sickening. Gobless & have an excellent rest of the weekend Gents.

They did have parachutes. They just did not have ejection seats. They had to actually bail out, if they were able to.

[@aa-ron6718]

Aircraft crews had a number of missions until they could retire since they were shot down so much. You were more likely to live fighting on the ground than the air. But I belive that Stat was for Europe not the pacific 🤷‍♂️

[@jimholmes4729]

Love all the additional stories, and love the idea of guests on the show. The single criticism I have is the cost of tier 3. I’d love to support you folks, but 25 bucks to hear the uncensored versions is just too much a month. Regardless, you guys are awesome.

Im gonna go watch this right now. I kinda freaked out when the stranded men were discovered by Imperial Japan 😮 my first thought was that unit 77-or something that did insanely cruel and inhuman experiments in the pursuit of science like the Nazi's did. Scary shit!! Just verified, it was Unit 731 of the Imperial Japanese army. 😬
