7:25 I'd say one of the most important things I learned in army officer training is one of the biggest reason why NCOs despise officers is that they're not held to the same standard as the enlisted. Second most important thing is basically the same: rank doesn't put you above anyone, it just puts you in front of them. Officers are supposed to serve the enlisted, not the other way around.

[@flackob6940]

I’m wasn’t a grunt when I was in but I have an immense respect for what you do for our brothers. It’s truly amazing

[@rafaelviscash]

I saw you on vice news, and I was impressed on how composed you were during the interview. The girl was trying to gril you and you just brushed it off and out classed her. That was a while ago, and you are the real deal. You spoke of vet tv's humble beginning and where you saw it going. You knew that it wasn't perfect or for everyone, but one day it would have its respective audience, even kids. Unlike so many phony motivational speakers, you are the real deal. Your creation is proof of real purpose and motivation.

[@brantleysteen478]

11B army right here dude I appreciate everything you do!

[@Darth-Nihilus1]

I’m a firefighter and it was always my dream of being a Marine but life had other plans, I got injured trying to rescue a kid off the side of a 15 foot high cliff. My sorry ass slipped on some leaves while tying my rope off and jacked my neck and shoulder up really bad and had to go to physical therapy just to be able to turn my head left. I went in and signed up for the corp after and they said no 😢 now 8 years later I’m still fighting fire and doing my best. Grunts life with it’s dark humor honestly has brought a lot of humor that I needed. It have seen shit that I will never unsee or un smell. I respect the military and love this nation and if humor brings us together then thank god for it

[@gregswope4629]

You Mr. O’Malley are a genius, I seriously love all of your content. I’m not in the military, but I love why you do these videos. You do them to save your own and it’s amazing. I am a paramedic who sees some shit, but nowhere near what you gentlemen have seen in combat. us EMS people have a very dark sense of humor to help cope with the things we see and just watching your videos and the dark humor just clicks with me and helps me cope with the stuff I’ve seen and I have turned a lot of my fellow co workers to VET TV and they all love it. We all have subscriptions to VET TV and if we are having a shitty day on duty we play your shows on the TV. Thank you for what you do and please continue to do so.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Got a couple buddies who are EMS/EMT's, that's some raw shit y'all deal with on the daily even without being shot at or having that combat experience, they should make a show themed around y'all on the platform, it'd be some good stuff, definitely relatable.

[@Cynane27]

I love Generation Kill and I'm definitely going to see this

[@paulsecon4889]

Cynane ME TOO!! Read it three times and bought the dvd set and listened to the audio book at least once. Just awesome!!!

[@brow276]

Love this Donny. Thanks for making me feel like a 19 year old 0311 again.

[@glenquagmire7724]

Exactly. I never thought watching something could make me feel like I was back on fob again. Remember the the piss tubes and mud butt.

Huge shout out to harbor freight for the hardy gloves.

[@kingcobra7183]

Haha, harbor freight tools lmao funniest joke ive heard all week

[@motocross_cooper]

Fellow Devil Dog here: I FUCKING love it when a motivator see something that’s “A DARN SHAME” and they go out fix that & replace that shame with something to be proud of (Like VETtv & Grunts life especially). It gives me a ragging hard on that I have beat 3 or 4 times to get rid of, Every time I see that happen.

[@noerknown]

Be honest, I pay the 5$ subscription even if i don't personally enjoy all the jokes and comedy 😂 y'all being bold and hilarious in your own way during a culture of pc and shunning 'controversial' humor is enough to warrant my support. You guys rock, and Grunts Life on KZbin really hooked me in to the channel and VetTV as a whole

[@evanabbott2737]

[@AWallgren]

Not trying to gobble your knob.....vet tv and the content you guys put out: truth with a spin of our sick humor in it. Fuckin love it. Keep doing good fuckin stuff.....defining irreverent....fuckin priceless

[@kirstensledge4107]

I come from a military family and I’m about to enlist. My cousin was a sniper in the Marine Corps and is battling ptsd. I show him these clips and it makes him feel like he can remember the humorous side and balance it out with all the bad times he’s currently fighting. Keep it up. From the part family that is trying to balance civilian life, it’s nice to see a little humor in the tragedy.

[@biserker1delta61]

Thank you for telling the true story of everything. Love you bro

[@gunslinger1911a1]

Generation Kill was toned down for the overall public to be viewed. This, however, is raw, real and reminds us why we did it and how we made it through. It's the same reason I subbed to Vet Tv, the same reason I showed the series to my ex who was disgusted but said she understood. Rahh Donny, keep making gold.

[@sam8742]

Gen kill was also very dramatized like the night time airstrike on the fake tanks never happened

[@randya2308]

Not an Infantryman but still enjoy everything you produce. Our generation of warfighters are a different breed.

[@surq0784]

Sir, I might've been Army infantry but I would've been proud to fight alongside you. Good leadership was harder to find in my experience and the deterioration of trust led to a lot of disobedience and complacency. I love Vet TV and I respect the fuck out of you for doing that you're doing.

[@DonnyOMalley]

[@surq0784]

@@DonnyOMalley Seriously, thank you! What you're doing for the entire veteran community speaks volumes about who you are and what it really means to lead from the front. Your content got me to laugh again and not be afraid of my depression, feeling totally isolated from everyone, and even other vets. Thank you, from the very bottom of my heart!

From what i've learnt about the army, this is what it looks like when intelligent and good person joins.

A Vietnam vet once told me the difference between soldiers and women and children is, you don't have to lead women and children as much. There's a certain irony to that statement.

Love your show, not a combat vet but I did earn my eagle globe and anchor then graduated SOI as an 0311 reservist...I was medically discharged right before we invaded Iraq and part of me really wishes I had gone active and to war. So it’s nice to hear the stories and even though I only did 2 years that sense of humor you always talk about is so legit. Oorah

You truly talk the real shit as it is for those front line grunts. I spent time in a military hospital and I got to meet and talk with hundreds of guys wounded in Vietnam. They were and are, the real heros of our country. I have the biggest respect for the men & women who are out there being the boots on the ground at the tip of the spear.

I think both the concept and content is awesome Civilians if u like it cool but if ya don’t it’s not for you anyways... it’s kind of a different world in the Military, and it gets more unique when u talk the Marine Corps, then more unique in the infantry community and more unique for the grunt combat vets. Honestly I wish I could do something like this for MY Marine Corps experience ... For air wingers who are actual mechs and hats on the depot

I want nothing more but to be over there in that helpless shit hole with them. Glad they came across your show! I know for a fact it makes their time over there better.

Big appreciation and respect from an active duty infantryman haven’t been deployed yet but can relate to your vids funny as hell

I have tried to "leave that mindset behind" and it is either one of my greatest failures or the greatest thing I have maintained in life. 11B3V, 77'/88'. The morbid skewed sarcastic humor though, it will be with me until the day I am laid in the ground. Sua Sponte.

[@Motherofchicken]

You know, I wanted a video for the small MOSs, like Fisters, combat divers, firefighters, army/marine Aviators, I think that would be pretty fun to watch/make, cause I know a lot of us small MOSs would also like that stuff. I already love vet tv, and honestly it’s helped me get through my wife leaving on deployment, someone I was married to before the army, it helped with my PTSD and depression to know that people have experienced things similar or have been in the same situation on killing another person or having to be put in a situation where you might have to, it makes it an easier pill to swallow. Thank you for all of the laughs and help you’ve given me. I love you guys.

[@jw985032]

I was an army infantry nco, we did the same shit. If you couldn’t joke or make people laugh they would be fighting with each other. The roe was a joke. Our haa as hands were tied even when we see a shooter or ied implacer, we had to get permission to engage. A good friend of mine was facing possible criminal charges for doing our jobs. We were some of the last actually trained soldiers. When crossing an objective, we were taught double tap the enemy, dead or alive (it’s called clearing). Kiawas killed 2 ied implacers were shot with 30mm rounds. One guys head completely gone, the other may have been alive. He double tapped, they said we could’ve got information he shouldn’t have shot. Since all the other ncos had the same training we could prove he did his job. But because they (battalion) wanted promoted for info they tried to press charges. This buddy was an e5 he’s now a company 1sg. Don’t screw over your brothers for praise. AIR ASSAULT

[@GetsumJ]

Never stop..... this is a life lesson as well as a vets lesson. Shit's gonna happen. your ability to laugh at it is a gift.

[@Skobutny37]

Donny you’re doing God’s work, bless ya and thank you. Even from a civilian, this shit is rediculous you funny. I’ve got PTSD from things unrelated to military service, but the source involves death, and frankly a good way to deal with it is humor. Making others laugh is therapy for myself, and i feel I resonate with you in that sense. Thanks brotha

[@nelsonolf4161]

I was a career Marine O and in my career did command five different Companies,I loved to hear my Marines, bitch and joke about some of the things we had to do. Their sense of humor , and irony was priceless. Marines put up with shit and never lose their sense of humor. No one knows what its like to be a Marine but a Marine. Mother Green has an irreverent family

[@paulrevere2379]

Eight promotions, Private to Captain, fifteen years of sevice, and nothing whatsoever tangible to show for it, but knowing that my young Marines knew that their lives meant more to me than my own and infinitely more than some stupid career (pthew...hate that word!), that makes it worth it. I often go to sleep hungry, but I sleep well because a clean conscience is the best pillow.
