[@joebenson528]

9/11 was the greatest propaganda piece in history. Americans were done with fighting after the decades of meaningless wars from WWII to Gulf War. Just like Pearl Harbor the only way we were invading two sovereign nations is if we were attacked by people not of Egyptian Origin that were also not recruited, trained and funded by the CIA/SOG, NSA, Saudis and Pakistanis. We really did a great job bringing peace to the world since 1942. I'm so proud to be a NATO member. A 100% defensive alliance and 0% offensive alliance. Saddam should not have built those 100% CNN confirmed WMDs. And the Taliban should have worshipped the right gods aka President Cheney and Secretary of -War- Defense Rumsfeld.

I was a Senior in high school and in Senior study hall when I heard about the attack. Similar experience they called us all to the auditorium and we watched the news on the big screen. A bunch of guys I know went and signed up after that. My one buddy was a helicopter pilot during Iraq and unfortunately my other buddy took his life when he got home. I love listening to these stories. I'm 38 and got to listen to some good stories from my family members and friends. I also meet my Uncle(by marriage) parents when I was younger who were survivors of Auschwitz. They showed me their tattoos with their serial numbers. My dad was born in '35 and joined the Army after high school in '53 said you did that if you couldn't afford college or had a job lined up. He almost thought he might have to go Korea but he never had to go overseas. My great uncle was in WWII and apparently when he came back he refused to sleep inside the house and instead slept outside in the backyard. Also, don't get pissed at the dude maybe leave the woman cheating on you. He might not have known. Also now a days wouldn't be surprised if they just use CGI to make guys look bigger and ripped.

Not sure which deployment you were commenting on, but I know that when Chris was there with Jocko's Task Force Bruiser - it was all HVT missions I believe (from what Jocko, Johnny Kim [who was a sniper as well as medic] as well as others from Jocko's team) - with elements of two SEAL teams. With all respect to Chris, there's some pretty interesting silences when guys from Jocko's team are asked about Chris. From friends at SOCOM, it sounds to me like Chris didn't exactly make himself super popular with the people he worked with. He was obviously a pretty brilliant sniper, and it's never really explained what it was, but he did seem to rub some people on the teams the wrong way

[@HeywoodJablome]

He was kind of a racist, and a douche and took joy in killing poc. He wasnt really well liked as a person. I've served and worked with a few guys like that.

@@smrtnik4313 A serial killer has no moral obligation to anything. We have several examples of text book serial killers matching a frequent pattern of complete disregard for, and the key word being, INNOCENT life. And doing so in a manner that defiles the body and memory of the individual, or integrates personal control over the victim. And in a serial killer is a developed pattern, with developed tastes for his/her victims, and the frequency in which they do or not do their crimes... Chris Kyle was a team sniper with a job to perform overwatch and eliminate sensitive targets/targets of opportunity. He just happened to have fought in some of the most target rich environs that would allow him to have such a count of enemy combatants killed by his hands. Ramadi, Fallujah and Mosul. Getting angry with Chris Kyle performing his duties exceptionally well, is like getting angry with your student for performing math exceptionally well... He joined the service, and the service involves killing people. That's how you win wars. When did killing motherfuckers become such a taboo thing that entails being called a serial killer, for a line of duty that's sole purpose is to stack bodies in the name of one's country, its interests, and its defense?

How a known liar got a movie made about his is still crazy to me. Apart from the story of his attack on Jesse Ventura, Kyle stated his involvement in a number of incidents, which were unverifiable, and some commentary has called into question, saying that they were unlikely. In 2016, the Navy clarified the number of medals Kyle was awarded for his service. Kyle had claimed in his book that he was awarded two silver stars and five bronze stars. At that time, the Navy noted that he had actually been awarded one Silver Star and four Bronze Star medals. Kyle has also claimed a higher number of sniper kills than the Navy has officially attributed to him. While Kyle claims to have killed roughly 320 enemies as part of his service in Iraq, the Navy says he killed 160.

Love the channel guys. I was in 8th grade German class (1st period) and very similar story. Our German teacher was called to the door by another teacher. Whispered something. Then our teacher went over to the TV, turned it on, found the news and the 1st tower was smoking. About 3 or 4 mins in we all saw the 2nd plane hit live. No one said anything for a clear 30 secs. Just sorta stunned, not sure what was happening. An 8th grader is old enough to understand what they are seeing but has zero foresight as to what whas actually happening in the moment. Our German teacher just sat at her desk watching it with us. And yep, every period for the rest of the day had the TV on. We didn't end school early, but tons of rumors about school going to a half day, and parents just coming off work to get their kids. By 7th period, most of the school was a ghosttown because most everyone had been picked up by their parents by 2pm. It was just a surreal day. Fast forward 10 years and I found myself in Kandahar. Definitely wise words from his teacher to say, "this is going to affect you and change your lives forever." To realize that in the moment... strong foresight. I can truly say in 50 years when I'm 85yo, that the biggest moment that changed the trajectory of my life (and the country) was 9/11. I'll remember a pre-9/11. And a post 9/11 world.

I came home and drilled a whole in the roof of my van a hung the biggest American flag I could find from it! 911 is still thought about by those who know what they were doing and where they were at on that day. Sad how far this country has fallen in the years after!

I really think they should read the books that some of these movies are based upon just so they can give us context for what the movies are showing. Because tbh I've read the books to black hawk down, we were soldiers, 13 hours, American Sniper, not Lone survivor, I really should tbh. Anyway. Those books gave me more of an appreciation to the movies. Like some of the scenes in American Sniper makes no sense to what Kyle said in his book while other parts made more sense. Just a thought

[@snowroaches]

You mean like in the book he said he would have let Marines die before killing a kid?

[@dawsynlarson696]

@@snowroaches or where he said during hurricane katrina he sat on top of the dome and sniped people robbing businesses and gas stations

I was in community college on 9/11. English literature class. I had been a high-school dropout, but had just gotten my first merit based scholarship. So, I was getting my S together. I came into class, heard what was happening, and saw the video when I got home. Saw a recruiter that next week, swore in January 2022. Not sure what my life would look like had I not enlisted, but I'm sure I'd be a very different person. Forks in the road, man. The path not chosen. Trippy to think about.

[@davidburleson4812]

I was standing duty driver watch at NAF Atsugi. I watched the 2nd plane hit the tower, and told everyone standing there to get ready cause we were about to go to war.

That shoulder brush pass bit is hilarious😂😂😂

4th grade Social Studies class. The teacher mentioned there was an attack, but for the most part they kept quiet around us. Didn’t understand fully what happened till I got home and watched the news.

[@lawrencerenew9415]

I was in second hour health class and the teacher had it on the TV. Then they dismissed us to go home. Once I hit 18 I instantly joined the marines.

[@theeroyaltgaming]

I still remember that day vividly! I was suspended from school so I was having the time of my life playing with my stuffed animals having wrestling matches. I saw the news and went to change the channel to watch cartoons but it was on every channel. I was 11 years old and has no clue what was going on but I knew it was bad. RIP to all the souls lost that day and afterwards because of this.

[@lpacalypse]

I was on my way to work; I remember before I left the house, my father-in-law was watching TV and I saw both towers on fire. I thought he was watching a movie. Got to work and that is when I heard about the attacks. At the time our company was doing upgrades for a military barracks, but because of the attacks, they (Army) weren't letting anyone on post. So, I got the day off and went surfing.

[@psychopompous3207]

These types of movies never really capture the experience. I love their perspective!

[@The-Canon]

Watched the 2nd plane go in during Home room. My biggest memory that day was football practice being cancelled.. my mom coming to pick me up and while waiting it was the first time in Chicago I looked up and the sky was absolutely quiet. The most eerie quiet where you don’t hear any planes or jets going over the city and then I believed everything had changed.

[@myselfactual]

Makes sense Kyle was cool embedding. I believe Jocko was their OIC at the time, and it was part of their culture to integrate w the bigger units

[@ceeKay007]

I like how you guys broke down the shoulder brush thing 😂🤣

[@wnose]

23:07 I think that's quicklime, to reduce the odor of decomposition

[@furthurondown]

ditto, watched second plane hit. work was a little weird that day. AF recruiter called a few times after that day since i'd done ASVAB a few weeks prior. weird place to be at 20y/o. closing sentiments on this vid were real bro, good finish

[@BeardR6S]

Something that always caught me when I was in places my dad had been in a decade or more before me, Doing the same stuff he did. It's a chilling realization, It is also sad to see how much more he struggles and it makes me feel guilty that I don't struggle nearly as bad, I even did my senior project in high school on PTSD (now PTSS) due to watching him struggle throughout the few times I had lived with him growing up as well as my grandfather who was an LRRP Marine in Vietnam. Don't get me wrong, I saw some terrible things but I think when I kinda became numb when I was forced to watch the Jordanian Pilot who was burned alive (early 2015) for 10hrs over and over by my command to the point where I can still picture it so vividly in my mind 7+ years later (I was in a recon squadron at the time and they wanted us to see how evil they truly were since we were on QRF at the time). It numbed me so heavily to everything to the point where when my mother passed a few months later, I cried for maybe 20 minutes and then buried the feelings, until recently when the new medication my Doc's put me on forced the emotions to come back. I still don't think I am completely okay after that but I feel for our brothers and sisters that are going through their own struggles by themselves. If you are going through tough times please don't think you are alone, you aren't. We all have our own battles but we also have a bond many will never understand. Reach out, I'd rather hear your story or even just game with you to give you support, than see you as a statistic. Please. Much Love to everyone and keep driving forward, we are a special group of people who have so much to offer to others even if you don't believe it or see it yet. YOU MATTER.

I had just got to my unit in the Army 2 weeks prior to 9/11 we were on a training in the field. Our Sgt kicked us all awake and loaded into trucks back to base.

[@maxmorris7025]

I was in fifth grade on 9/11 it was the first time I remember adults admitting they didn't know what was happening. Absolutely terrifying.

[@haveaday1812]

That’s because up to that point, most adults lived a very insulated, protected life. Meanwhile, their government was out seeding terrorists worldwide. They had already tried to blow it up before. They blew it up for a reason. And it wasn’t because they hated our “freedom”. 9/11 really happened in the 80’s when we trained the very man who carried it out. The real history doesn’t make America look like the victim.

[@grandmaoil2079]

@@haveaday1812 We "trained the very man who did it.."..? Lol no, those Kuwaiti hijackers were Mossad trained. Bin Laden was a CIA asset named Tim Osman, look it up. That's a super naive take. Waco and OKC also happened in the 90s. Lastly, you STILL believe the official story? lol....smh.

[@BiblicallyAccurateToaster]

The summer after graduation just ended & was living right outside DC by an international airport when 9/11 occurred. Got woken up by a phone call from my dad to turn on news & then right after the Pentagon was hit he called again & said he'd be to me in 5 & get ready. The silence overhead was deafening except the rare fighter running afterburners. We had family friends inside the Pentagon that day. Took city buses my dad managed over there & helped conduct evacs. The smell, the injured & ppl just walking in shock, but most of all the strange heavy feeling that hung in the air. Hard to explain. Don't think I'll ever experience that feeling again. Several of my friends lost family that day with one friend who lost both his mom & dad

[@WasabiSniffer]

It’s crazy how many cliches there are but this movie is still a lot of fun. The more SEAL movies come out and more I learn about that era of SEAL going into OIF, the more I’m starting to see the “household names” in this and other SEAL movies. Marc Lee, Jocko, Jonny Kim, David Goggins. Weirdly not as many SEAL reveals as I thought there would be though. Nice shoutout on Godfather and the other Generation Kill dudes showing up.

[@unitedstatesofamerica9948]

If you really want to know, you should instead go to documentaries, podcasts, books or better yet talk to veterans themselves

[@LowKickMT]

goggins wasnt even deployed afaik

[@henriksenlaw]

“When is the wedding?l. Funny as hell. One of most real scenes in a war film, when Kyle returns and instead of going home he is in a bar at 2:00 pm and you can feel that he isn’t back in US, but his mind and emotion are back in combat.

[@juicev25]

I read the book shortly before the movie came out. There was NEVER anything about another sniper he was battling against. In fact the whole book is just his retelling incidents while at war or back home. It even has his wife’s perspective. When I found out a movie was being made, based on the book, I was confused. I couldn’t see how they were going to turn a series of unrelated events into a traditional movie. That’s where the fictional rival sniper comes in. Hollywood has to do its thing too.

[@syskusa6512]

“Steroids are awesome”! I love you guys 🤣. I was at PT formation at Ft Irwin on my way to a Levy brief, watched the second plane hit, then they shut down the Levy brief and sent us to our units when the plane went down headed to Camp David. I invaded Iraq with the 82nd about a year and a half later, crazy times.
