Royal Marine Reacts To The Most Disturbing Human Experiment Ever

The Geneva Convention is weird, indeed. In WWI the Germans were using mustard gas, but felt the Americans were brutal using trench guns.

[@colbunkmust]

That had nothing to do with the Geneva Conventions, they didn't take place until after WWI. Also Germany's use of poison gas explicitly violated the Hague Convention which they were a signatory of. In that case, Germany was complaining to a non signatory, the USA, about violating rules that didn't exist, while the Germans were explicitly violating the rules they did sign they were going to adhere to. It was a hail Mary to shift blame after from Germany for the devastation and destruction of the war, but it failed miserably when the US military called their bluff and stated there would be reprisals if the Germans started executing US prisoners.

[@crazyivan1745]

Also something to consider. The basis was also to prevent "inhumane" acts in war. Keeping casualty counts higher than death counts. It is kind of weird, but when you had things like soldiers throwing canned foods into occupied enemy trenches, later followed by live grenades.... yeah that's pretty cruel Canada lol. War is straight up awful, but chemical weapons were proving to be terrifyingly affective, and not just at injuring soldiers, just outright killing in large quantities. A line really had to be drawn somewhere.

31:20 There are absolutely militaries that are “better” or “more moral” than others. The US has a hellfire that instead of exploding has blades that fan out and is exclusively to hit only 1 person and have as minuscule of collateral as possible. This is not to claim at all that it’s done nothing wrong, but it’s far more moral than something like WWII Japan, Germany, or USSR. Far better than those who kill indiscriminately. Far better than those who seek out civilian casualties. Far better than those who torture en masse for funsies. It’ll never be perfect, as war never is, but there are moral and honorable ways to wage war, and there are dishonorable ways. There are militaries that are far better at that than others, and no matter how cynical you are about war, that’s objectively undeniable. Sorry about the tone of the comment, but I just felt like the wishy-washy way you’re talking about the morality of wars is a weird take. Especially given the video you’re watching and the evils committed by certain militaries that weren’t even considered options by the other militaries during the same wars. Tone-shift: There is an idea about levels of consciousness or levels of thinking. Like the idea of think about what someone else considers about how people think. These kinds of meta-thoughts often only occur when your basic needs are met, the culture encourages individuality, and allows people to think about others over themselves (as individuals or as collectives). Worth looking into because it puts a lot of context into history as to why people treated each other the way they did. If you’re low enough on the chart, then you only really have the capacity to think about yourself and whatever you need to do to ensure your survival. Once I learned about it in a tiny bit of depth, it really helps me better analyze both historical actions as well as the actions of those around me today. Most people at most times are at levels 3-5 (max is 9 which basically no one is at for any significant time in their day/life). Enjoying the react so far, just felt like ADHD ranting about morality in war and levels of thinking/consciousness since it was on my mind when you were talking about “people in history were just as intelligent but knew what they were doing was icky”. It’s true that they were basically just as intelligent, but their level of thinking was lower due to environmental, economic, societal, and cultural factors. It didn’t allow them to consider things the way we can because our food comes cheap and easy, our housing is comfortable, and our culture is considerate of other people’s rights and well-being. 👍👍

The Japanese did a great many things during WWII that were covered up. They were doing atomic bomb research at a facility in North Korea. The last cargo submarine to leave Germany before the surrender carried several tons of uranium and two Japanese Naval officer who were associated with atomic weapons research. When the Russians captured the Japanese atom site, it has been theorized that they learned more from that site than they did from the atom spies in the US. North Korea was carrying out atom bomb research in the same location.

i come from Singapore, Churchill said that the loss of this island was the greatest embarrassment to the empire ever, the battle itself is tragic and you'll probably have alot to say about it, its the main thing all students learn about here early on. it justifies our national service and why we dont have a choice about it, but something less talked about is the sheer brutality. some students learn of the death march, but its only parents and grandparents handing down knowledge and memory of the beheadings and bayonetting of babies. there was a research facility set up as well, connected to unit 731, but because they burnt all the documents and the US covered up alot of warcrimes by Japan, we know nothing of what happened there. you should check it out, the war in the pacific is a horror story far worse than any fiction could ever come up with, and it affected everything, from north korea to the southern tip of java, it changed everything here. edit: unit 731 was just one of the biggest actors in the "research efforts" of imperial japan, i do wanna just highlight that there were hundreds of facilities with other units that, like the one here in Singapore, we have no data on what happened there. that, to me, is the worst part of this story.

none of it was worth it and most of it was useless, but the brutal methods at unit 731 did actually accelerate some areas of research. Human experimentation is brutal but in some cases it really does speed the process up. That never makes it alright but it's just a brutal reality. Again though, most experiments were pointless but there were a few things they did that sadly propelled medicine forward faster than humane research could have.

Just goes to show how the americans viewed the lives of the victims, they were non american, no worse, chinese, asian people, the americans see them as less than human the same way the japanese did and thus never considered them as humans in the first place, if one single american was tortured for that data, the americans would be singing a different tune. And the americans are worse than the japanese in the sense that they pardoned the perpetrators on top of matching the brutality and evil of the japanese.

Japan rewrites history. Their textbooks about WWII are WILD with how much they play the innocent victim. And it's standard curriculum. Bushido is looked back on positively as being an era of honor rather than horrors, POW treatment is ignored, the pacific Islands are still looked down on along with most other Asian countries, and they truly believe the a-bomb was completely unjustified... Stuff like that has worked its way into the US too with Common Core and other versions across the country replacing our old knowledge with softer and more curated/interprative information. At least a lot of Americans are very skeptical about our government and are aware of some of the horrors we have committed. Even moreso with Germany seeing it's responsibility to see history remembered... it's so important, lest we forget and find ourselves treading familiar ground in the future

It is unfortunate but true that ethnicity and religion must come into play here. Everyone is NOT the same. Yes, everyone from every period has the same level of intellect; HOWEVER, they do NOT share the same mentality. You, as a European, have a mentality based on the Philosophy of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as Judaeo-Christian morality. Those influences, to a very great extent, do not exist in the Far East. Their mentality is entirely different. What persons of European ancestry might regard as hideous cruelty, Asians may simply regard as neither good nor bad but merely necessary. Parts of Asia still haven't changed. You need only look to North Korea under the Kims, Cambodia under Pol Pot, or China under Mao to see the continued evidence of ruthless cruelty.

From the scientific perspective (16:30) you are thinking too small, these tests account for that variable by using larger sample sizes and taking an average, yes every individual is different but that all falls within a certain range. (17:47) They achieved a lot aside from torture, a large portion of our current knowledge of disease and its methods of spread both internal and externally comes from those experiments or ones similar. The Germans are the reason we know about hypothermia and how long it takes to set in and even recover from.(22:16) Yes, the more you find out the worse it gets, so much worse.(26:40) Most of the information on grenades and conventional weapons lethality comes from this experiment, and prior to this there was insufficient information to create accurate relevant testing types that don't involve living subjects like we have now. An example of which is pressure discs used to test the lethality of explosives pressure waves at certain distances, or ballistics gels that simulate human tissue for testing projectile weapons.(27:37) Morality is much softer now than it was then, the testing of weapons on animals was done by nearly every nation involved in weapons production, UK and US included. Of course these events are terrible but objectively speaking much of our medical knowledge and procedure today is based upon the outcomes of these atrocities.

16:10 yes you can if you starve 10000 people and average out the data. Which is what they did. Thats how scientists do it all the time, use a large batch and average out the results. Obviously not alive, but a large batch system has always been the case for scientific studies.

[@robinmayr5265]

Mengele was the german equivalent. I don't want to write what he did but it was on a similar level. And yes we learnt a lot about the human body but at a terrible cost. Sadly you can learn a lot with enough "material"

[@Ateezwooyoung]

You really should also give rotten mango a chance, she is awesome. Some say she is the female mrballen. To start I would watch either the burning sun triology or the triology around the Sewol accident. Which is first the „Korean "No Face” Billionaire Mysteriously Linked To PILE of 32 Dead People In Attic“, then „ The Sewol Ferry Tragedy - Coward Captain Left 350 Students To Die“ and the third part „His 10,000 Brides - Korea's Biggest Cult With Over 100k Members (The JMS Church)" Also I told for so long to react to this, because when even the Nazis are shocked, it’s quite telling…

Wendigoon react?!?! 😩 Sorry, I had to goon. It’s obligatory.

[@ryantromp9152]

Eventhough it was cruel, most of the works helped and are being used afterwards to further studies etc.

[@johnathancoker8671]

interesting moral question just thought of. what of the research notes the documents the knowledge gained in this hainus way? would it be moral to just burn it all? or would that be like all these ppl suffered and died horribly for absolutely no reason? should we keep the knowledge already gained so that these people at least died for something? what yall think?

[@aviator2252]

Its taught to you in school, what percentage of the human body? Only 1/2 way through so dont know if its brought up

[@lazy_titan1582]

I don't care if Hitler himself wrote down the notebooks. If that information will save lives in the future then we use it. Is it horrific that this happened, YES, but we can't change the past we can only learn to be better and not make their mistakes.

Wendigoon is a teacher for Sunday School so he's 100% intentional about how he expresses a topic and then gives opinion/perspective.

[@Cu-sith7]

I'm not comfortable with how I I find these things interesting.

[@masterbaiter4935]

Can you watch (OPLAN EXODUS: The SAF 44 Documentary) by: TrageDiaries pretty please

[@jvillain9946]

Whats the big deal? I don't see the problem. I do these kind of studies all the time on "people" if you consider them people. They're just subjects to me.

[@NottiOne]

Thus sounds bad, but just do some research in how much Nazis advanced medicine, surgery and medical technology. It's horrific but modern medicine was born out of that tragedy.

[@mattb2583]

Yea but the issue with a lot of this is that it is useless information they are gathering on some of the later experiments, but also the only way to confirm treatments and theories like this is to do repeat testing. Which you can not and should not do

[@NottiOne]

@mattb2583 oh I agree, seemed idiot unnecessary and not focused. The opposite of what the nazi were doing. That's why 50 plus nazi were candidates for the nobel prize within 20 years of ww2. I've been in rhe Healthcare fields for 30 years and modern medicine is based and advanced by the atrocities of the Nazis. Not justifying it, just stating facts. A hell of a lot of modern surgeries instruments haven't changed since they were created and modern surgery's haven't changed all that much either.

[@EatDatBitchAwp]

Very true but the video is about unit 731 not the nazis

1,000 years ago, people where rather dumb. They literally believed your stomach was an oven that would continue cooking the food you ate.

[@grantschlabach8127]

And today people believe that men and women can change their gender by mutilation and drugging themselves. So what's your point? How are people today any different?

[@aj897]

What’s your point? This was during WW2 and their experiments were far more intelligent than anything you’ve ever come up with.
