Marine Veteran / Country fan reacts!! Five Finger Death Punch - Wrong Side of Heaven.

[@roguemerlin1969]

I'm a Viet Nam vet and we were treated like shit when we came home. Our own government just swept us under the rug like we weren't even worth thinking about. I lost so many buddies over there and even more when we came back to drugs and suicide. To the few of us still alive after all these years, you aren't alone buddy, I've got your 6. The black dude at the end always tears me up. He is saying "Bill, Bill, it's me Jacoby. You saved my life brother."

[@twiztidwhiskeyreactions358]

Thank you so much for sharing that! I've got you covered!

[@mattblatchley2061]

Hey Merlin. I know it doesn't make it right, but when our buddy came home from the Gulf in the 90's we were keenly aware of how you were treated and made sure to meet him at the airport and cheer him home at the top of our lungs. I wish we were there for you guys too🙏

[@LCDR_Dan]

Welcome home, brother!

[@kryptichands968]

Welcome home brother from this Army Iraq vet, my father served in the Marine corps in Nam during the Tet offensive

[@AnnaLykins-i5f]

Hey there, bumped into this. I’m a woman, did 6 yrs in Navy in the 70’s. Thanks for your service ❤❤

[@SgtAwesome97]

That last part always gets me. "You know me. You saved my life, brother."

[@southtexaslife3555]

I've watched a lot of reaction videos to this one. Very few of them catch the fact that Jacoby is the one that helped him up at the end of the video.

[@the1eloboss592]

He best part of this song was the fact the donated 75% of revenue profits to help veterans and it still pays in to that account every time we listen to it

[@angelabennett-engele1977]

New subscriber. So, the song makes me cry every single time i hear it. But this time... YOU made me cry. The way you expressed your frustrations (especially around Veteran's Day) brought me to tears. I'm not a veteran. My Dad was a pilot in the USAF and was killed in Vietnam while flying a mission in the OV-10 Bronco. He was posthumously presented the Medal of Honor. Capt. Steven L. Bennett. I am the president of the OV-10 Bronco Association, which does business as the Fort Worth Aviation Museum, in Ft. Worth, TX. It is my honor to work alongside many veterans, and I try so hard to make sure they are made as whole as I can. But im just me...I cant fix as much as I truly want to fix. We have to find a way to serve our veterans in ways they deserve. Thank you for your service and the service of your fellow service members. Combat or not, you served. You signed on the dotted line that so many of us did not. So, thank you. I see this song hit you to the core. Im so sorry it caused that reaction, but I also am so proud of the reaction....it means you take service to heart. I appreciate that. God Bless.

[@twiztidwhiskeyreactions358]

Wow thank you so much for that. I really appreciate your work and all the kind words.

From what I understand, they hire vets to be in the videos. Thank you for your service sir! Godspeed

[@twiztidwhiskeyreactions358]

That's awesome. They seem like a great group

[@Vrtlancer21]

Yes they do. They hire them as set up people, photography and security.

[@bengray4105]

The band itself is not in the video..all the men shown are veterans.

[@KairiPrime]

They also hire vets for their shows to be stage crew and set up/tear down and things like that. They have always tried to support vets however they can.

[@tacym09]

This song & video gets me every time. I lost my younger brother 01/26/15 to suicide. He'd spent 5 years in the Army & deployed twice. He was out barely 6 months when I got the call from the police saying he was gone, forever 25. He'd spent the day before at my house with myself, my son/his nephew, and my now ex-husband (who was a Marine Corps veteran himself who still dealing with PTSD). The guilt we both still feel not seeing the signs is still something we struggle with. My ex deployed to Iraq from 2006 to 2007 when we were 20, married less than 6 months. It took years for him to open up about even a little bit of what he experienced. But he also said they were there to protect poppy fields for heroin more than for an actual war against America, which made what both sides of innocent lives loss that much worse. Many died for no reason. The things he saw, what they had to do to try & keep fellow brothers & sisters in arms alive still haunts him almost 20 years later #22TooMany

[@augusttrucksess329]

All the people in the video are Veterans and not actors. I love this video. It makes me cry every time

As a divorced fourth generation vet, with TBI and PTSD, that was homeless for three years and now existing under a program for homeless vets, that wakes up thinking shit another day. Yeah, this song always hits hard. It is what it is.

[@twiztidwhiskeyreactions358]

Hit me hard. It's crazy to see the numbers

I'm not a vet, but I know the feeling of "Yay, another day, just what I need right now!".

I want to thank you sir very much for your service, this video made me cry my eyes out, our vets are treated like garbage here and it breaks my heart to this day. Both my folks served in the R.A.F. In we two. I married a marine. I’m soooo very sorry sir of plight, with my utmost respect sir. I pray you find inner peace. Keep listening to FFDP.

I thank you for trying to listen to this, I’m not a fan of country at all. But you dove in, I respect that sir. This song is about the shabby way we treat our returning vets. Your a very…you know! Hats off to you sir! ❤

As a 23 year vet who went to trashcanistan multiple times, lost 5 friends and such..5FDP uses videos to tell the stories of their lyrics. They have several other songs that you will probably come across, “Gone Away” and a more. I have watched hundreds of reactions to this song and it’s always the vet reactions that take it the hardest. Amazing reaction and you should listen to more of them. Semper Fi brother. 8 years Marines, 15 years Army.

You are a warrior. Thanks for service❤

[@twiztidwhiskeyreactions358]

[@Treasacello]

I just wanted to say, thank you for noticing some of the things I've seen many other reactors miss. To this day, this band still does a segment at each of their concerts where they honor vets and during a different song, cancer survivors. They get a lot of flack in the press sometimes, but their hearts are in the right place. (and yeah, USAF 1989-1993, so it matters to me)

[@PeterMinoz-px3kx]

20 year retired Air Force veteran. I was not in combat but serving overseas I learned to freeze when I heard a rifle being charged by "friendly" forces who would shoot and ask questioned later. One of my troops missed being bayoneted when he surprised one of the friendly soldiers. Being in so called friendly areas could be hazardous. Foreign troops. When told to guard an area and kill trespassers, they did it.

[@Proudtman]

This song always makes me cry! It's heartbreaking how many past veterans are suffering! I actually think not showing your emotions and admitting when you need helpis hurting you more than showing them😢

[@ChefDeCuisine_Bubba]

I get emotional every time I hear this. While my dad was spit upon when he returned from Nam, I was celebrated but then forgotten. Don't know which was worse. Yet night frights and insomnia still are a daily thing decades later. Joined #VeteransHelpingVeterans, it helps, once a soldier always a soldier (or Marine) and we are still a unit. We must rely on each other as we did before. #Hooah to your #Oorah!

300,000 is a huge force when you consider it in a military way. I hope they stop disregarding us soon. And to you personally TW, never hold yourself as weak or failing in any regard!

It came out last year that one of FFDP's roadies is a trans woman. Some absolute manlet tweeted "How can you stand to have that...bundle of kindling (if you know you know) in your inner circle". Lead singer responded with "She's not the (bundle of kindling), you are". I fucking love this band man.

100% Every Vet should get a paid holiday on Veterans day. Mandated by law. They (you know who they are) all start these wars, but we fight and finish the wars. (even tho its never over, and never forgotten) We get no help when we get out, and if we aren't the lucky ones that are able to make it work, we get lost and forgotten in the system. (and the unlucky ones (the ones the video is talking about) don't even get lost in the system. They just end up lost. Until the next war. (BTW this song and video is 11/10 years old. The song is from 2013 and the Video was first released August 11, 2014. Those numbers are 10 YEARS OLD!!!! Imagine what they are today....

[@Arkryal]

While this song hits closer to home for a lot of modern veterans, you should check out Motorthead's "1916". It's a gut punch along the same lines, and Lemmy's vocals are just wrenching. It's about a WWI British soldier. I won't spoil it, but it's a mindfuck. Beautiful song, but hard to listen to.

[@tachyon8317]

Sabaton did a cover of 1916. Powerful rendition and vid. It was also a tribute to Lemmy, featuring appearances by Motorhead band members Mikkey Dee Phil Campbell marching with a picture of Lemmy.

[@kila4]

I just lost my father back in October, he was a marine, he was discharged right before they froze them. So he missed the Vietnam war by the skin of his teeth. I’m thankful he did. His father was also a marine, he did not miss WW2. I grew up knowing the phrase, once a marine, always a marine. I joined the Navy, my father and grandfather teased me endlessly about it, always called me a swabe! I’m 55 now, but as a 19 yr old girly girl, I told my father I didn’t choose the marines because I still wanted to be a girl. He liked to tease, but I think he was proud that I served. Anyway, Semper Fi!

Five Finger Death Punch has written quite a few songs like this. Very powerful lyrics and videos like Gone Away, which I saw you reacted to it, When the Seasons Change, which has to do with policemen, Remember Everything, and Coming Down. There are others, but these songs are amazing. Songs about mental health issues, you can listen to Amity Affliction and songs like All Fu**ed Up, Like Love, Don't Lean on Me and Not Without My Ghosts. Another group mentioning is Dream Theater and they have s song called The Enemy Inside, that talks about soldiers and PTSD they deal with. They even interview military persons before the song starts and gives updates after. Appreciate you listening to this song.

Hey, my dad was on base in camp lejeune when 9/11 happened to. he said he was teaching a class when someone came running in saying that the towers have been hit. the guy was known for making jokes so no one believed him until my dad turned on the tv and it kept replaying, and out of the corner of the tv, he saw the 2nd plane and everyone's hearts dropped. i remember it like it was yesterday, because he sent me to live with my grandparents (i was 6) and he got shipped off to fight. you may have met him in your time in Lejeune. his name is Christopher Marlin, at the time i believe it was "Sergeant Marlin", before he picked up Staff Sergeant. Also, i was born in the naval hospital by Lejeune.

[@wileycoyote3404]

I appreciate the real response to your experiences. I can honestly say that this song cuts to the heart of our nation that we need to find ways to support the citizens that have supported our natin, combat or not. I was not in combat but felt the impacts to my family and seen it in others and as others family members that have experienced combat its shocking. U cant know unless u have experienced this, and we should put those that have sacrificed on the highest pedestal. God Bless America and those that sacrificed all to protect our freedoms. Remember leaders should not say these patriots are "Suckers and losers" " I only like winners" .

[@robert_5974]

Semper Fi brother! I went to a warzone twice but never saw combat. I was a supportive role and I know Marines who ended themselves after they got out. The adjustments to civilian life is giant depending on many factors. I've experienced both sides of the employment landscape when i didnt work with military (in & out) and when i did. Its night and day and it actually helps being around coworkers who were also prior military. Lastly id like to tell everyone that in my experiences, one thing I've come to realize why there may be so many issues with Veterans becoming homeless or just not adjusting is that usually in some capacity you leave a job where you are in charge kf others to having to start over again from the bottom per se. Thats an adjustment in itself. The leadership structure is differently arranged and even how its earned. I think you had an authentic reaction and explained yourself really well.

Im not a veteran. I wanted to serve my country, but was rejected due to having epilepsy. I did marry into a military family though. A goal i have is to independently open housing facilities for all veterans with aminaties, free meals, free healthcare by nonbiased Dr's, and anything else that can help our vets adjust to life. By doing it independently that means absolutely NO involvement from the government, because they have failed our service men and women. I've had this goal for awhile and will continue to work towards it. Considering what it would take to accomplish it, i still have a lot of work to do.

I grew up around vets. One of the most psychologically damaged ones I met was a WWII Army vet who fought in the Pacific. I don't know the details or what campaigns he was in, but he experienced some really, really bad stuff that he couldn't move past. He died in the mid 1970s, a shell of a man whose eyes and skin were yellow from a failing liver caused by decades of drinking himself into oblivion.
