@Black Pegasus, Thank you for reacting to this video. It is very powerful and as a Veteran it hits home with me. The one part that really got me is were the officer is arresting the Veteran and noticed they have the same tat, which is from their unit or platoon. This has happened to me. I have issues with potholes and man holes due to PTSD, when I was driving on the road I was serving to avoid them. A police officer pulled me over. Now on the back of my car I had the Screaming Eagle from Fort Campbell and a sticker that said Retired Veteran. Well when the officer approached my window, he asked for my license and registration and all that. Then he looked at me and said the most awesome thing ever. He said I got you. At that point I started to weep because it meant a lot to me, then I noticed that he has the Screaming Eagle tat on his arm which represents Fort Campbell. So he asked me where I was going, I told him I was going to visit my mother and had about 30 miles to go. He then told me to follow him after I gave him my mother's address. So he put on his lights and I followed him as he swerved the pot holes and man holes I did the same. When we finally arrived at my mother's house, I got out of my car and he did the same and gave me a big hug and said I am safe. So of you who may read this will know what I mean.

I’m a 3rd generation soldier (now out) and my son is in the NG. One of the most alarming statistics is that only 1% of our population serve and of those that do 70% of new recruits come from military families. 60% of veterans under 40 come from military families. The US has always had professional soldier families within the services, but these have mostly been in the Officer Corp. We are quickly creating a Warrior Class in our society. That means we are ever more dependent upon the same families, and then we see our brothers and sisters treated like this. We as a society have to better.

Agreed, though a large part of it is that society sees what happens to soldiers when they retire from service, the amount of pay for potential risk and probably a dozen other things and goes "Yeah, no." It doesn't help that going in to the army is being seen as more and more of a 'poor person' decision. The kind of mentality of 'oh you can't get a good job or make a decent wage, then go to the military' type of thing. Which I find to be disgusting honestly. And that we're just glorifying things like actors, high-paying jobs and the like instead of soldiers, astronauts, firefighters, police, etc. Less kids grow up wanting to join the military sadly. (or any of the other things) Or you can be like me, who basically tries tearing down a recruiter's office to join the military and gets told, 'No, you're just 10lbs too fat and we no longer take in high-school dropouts." Which I wouldn't be surprised if there's a decent chunk of people wanting to join the military, but we just don't meet the requirements 100%.

My dad has secondary issues arising from the Peripheral Neuropathy he got from AO. He absolutely refuses to go to the VA for anything serious. He had a bleeding ulcer caused by taking too much ibuprofen and aleve and it almost killed him. The VA wanted to take a wait and see approach. Thankfully my step mom basically said FU and quickly worked to get him transferred to a "regular" hospital. Since then he hasn't gone back. He's still working at 75 to pay for health insurance so he can keep it that way.

It's such a great song. I wouldn't call myself a ffdp "fan" but I am a fan of this song and their musicianship. They really are a good band that a lot of people love to hate.

FFDP has some of the most heart wrenching lyrics of any band I've heard, and it is ALWAYS shocking because they do sound like just hard rock, but then you listen and it just hits deep in your soul.

Both my father, my oldest brother and one of my cousins are Marines. While my father never saw combat, my brother and cousin were sent to Afghanistan. My brother came home alive, but my cousin would be victim of a IED. I detest war. No matter the reason it happens.

Trace Atkins has a sound called Til the last shots fired. He performed it at one of the award shows and a vet introduced it. What he said was 100. It's not about the war but the warrior. They risk their lives to protect others. They deserve the respect and appreciation above anyone else

I joined the army in '04. I was stationed at Ft. Carson for 5 years. I am an OIF vet also. This video is one of the reasons I love FFDP so much. They are my absolute favorite band. I've been homeless and also struggle with addiction trying to cope with my PTSD, anxiety, depression amongst other things. It destroyed my first marriage. Getting help from the VA can be an absolute nightmare. They are building places to house people who aren't from here. Not any for veterans. Like WTF. It's really sad that we put our lives on the line and then are just thrown away. Thank you for this video and your support. It means so much.

They fight for veterans and first responders with their music and other projects. They use veterans in their videos, on tours, etc. Please consider reacting to the collaboration between Five Finger Death Punch, Kenny Wayne Shepherd(who wrote the song and original band), Brantley Gilbert and Brian May. It's a tribute to first responders. Also Gone Away Coming Down

I was never a metal fan until my son introduced me to Five Finger Death Punch. As a Veteran, I appreciate their love and acknowledgement of Veterans and their service. I promise you there isn't a single one of us who doesn't question the Government and its handling of Veterans vs illegal invaders. It takes Years of battling with Burocrats for a Veteran to even get into the VA system, and even longer to get approved for those Disablities acquired during our service. But foreigners can come here illegally and get Medical care, Housing, Education, money, all without doing a thing to earn it, save for a pledge to vote Democrat if given a chance to illegally vote. Its disgusting how our Government renigs on its promises daily. When my son became old enough to serve, I discouraged him in every way, because I didn't trust Obama and his Department of Denfensless. I certainly don't trust Biden. No way I'd want my son to go through the things I have, only to be discarded afterwards. Anyway, sorry, getting too political now. FFDP has a few other great Veteran type songs you should check out.

VA no longer cares about our veterans. Our veterans are not given the medical care they deserve. They do not have the access they deserve to proper medication or health care. Our so called government actually care more about the invaders taking over our country than the veterans who gave it ALL to protect our country. 😢😢

I've watched a few of your reactions and I enjoyed them all. I come from a long line of veterans. However, my maternal uncle followed this storyline to a T. He was reunited with the family, but ultimately CHOSE to go back to the streets. I come from along line of military based family, including my daughter that is serving in the USAF. This song touches me in a way that few realize, unless they experience it in this day and age ... We are PROUD OF OUR MILITARY HERITAGE! And we will stand united no matter what.💕. God bless the men and women that serve in our Armed Forces., and give their families security during these troubled times.

Thank you so much for your input on this video. I am a Staff Sargent of the US Marine Corps. I have been in combat and this is pretty much to the truth as you can get. I have lost several of my brothers during my time in service. When you are in war your brothers and sisters that you are stationed with are the only family that you have, and losing one of them is just as bad as losing a real family member. The VA doesn't like to help veterans because of funding. But no matter what those service members signed a contract to serve and protect the United States of America. No matter on their discharge the United States of America should be taking care of them. I myself have been out of the Marines for 23 years now and I still have been having issues with the VA. I've had 3 strokes and 3 craniotomies and have been left with having uncontrollable seizures that can kill me. I've been shot, blown up in a Humvee ( do to an IED) lost hearing in pretty much and suffer from PTSD. But I wanted to thank you for your review on this song and, because I am glad that someone sees it now.

My son was one of those veteran's. He was a Marine. At times homeless. He was too proud to ask for help, so when we tried to help, he would push away. We were able to help him through some of his rough times and thought things were much better for him. He became a helo flight instructor and had a great setup. He was living in the bunk house of a very wealthy family of farmers in Missouri training them to do their own crop dusting. He was helping them to start a flight school to train other farmers in the area. Then things took a bad turn and he took his life. Left his 6 year old son and a family who loved him more then he could ever believe. People just don't understand the pressures veteran's have reintegration back into society when they leave military service. This song always touches me. I have been wanting to start a veteran's village in Tampa Florida for some time. My plan would to help them be self sufficient by receiving much needed counseling, job training, a wood and auto shop, and grow their own community garden. If you want to help make it a reality, I would forever be grateful.
