@@maggierezac5820 i stand by my statement, plenty of people did USO shows in far more hostile warzones...they just didn't need to make a spectical of it. These guys use the war to sell record. So until they open their big ass houses up or uss their tour bus or any of their other hundreds of ways they could be more active in getting these homeless vets the housing, medical, psych or employment help they need, they are no more effective than a tv commercial. Luke 12:48 - "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more." Plenty of reporters are actually embedded in the shit, not just hanging out back at base, you think they get half the credit these guys get?

My dad served in the navy for 8 years. I’m 25 and there are still things my dad won’t tell me about what happened back there. He’s almost 60 and he only gets 2 hours of sleep at night at most. Any noise at all will wake him up. It makes me wonder if something happened to him back there beyond what he’s told me. I’m about to cry writing this as a grown man because I’ve only ever seen my dad cry once in my whole life. When I was 15 he sat me down to talk about the war, because earlier that day I told him I wanted to join the service. He cried that night. That’s why five finger death punch is and always will be my favorite band.

My daddy was in the Navy in Vietnam. When he got sick with stage 4 cancer when I was 8 is when my brothers and learnt the hard way of what my daddy went through . He was going through chemo and was in very very strong pain meds and couldn't control the flashbacks most of the time and we would be grabbed up and sometimes beat like he was living in those moments when his was in war. He didn't much talk about what he went through but he was a proud Veteran and taught us the march songs, if your on time your late and if your 15 mins early you're still late ❤, pull yourself up by the boot straps and so on. Love your daddy. I miss mine so much.

[@FBI-ju5no]

Whenever I hear this song, I'm reminded of my uncle. When he finally returned from service, he almost immediately was homeless. His wife took his kids, and all of his possessions, and sold them while he was away. For over a year, we could not physically find him. Then one day my mother found her brother living next to a dumpster in some random ally, and called my grandmother to get me and my brother out there to get him home. He stayed with us for over a year, and I had never seen someone so broken and mentally absent before, it took several months before he spoke more than one word responses to anything. In the end, it got worse before it got better, but he, with lots of love and family support, got back on his feet, eventually found his kids, and got his life back together.

[@GhostDrummer]

Dylan Chiesa do you think the Russians were any different once they started defeating the Nazi’s? Or how about what they did to their own people? What about the Japanese as they raped Nankin? Hell, even the British and Americans did some atrocities during that war; but you focus on Nazis. I’m not sympathetic towards any country when it comes to the horrors of war. The people who strap up and head out aren’t always the same as those commanding. Are there some messed up people? Sure. But that’s everywhere.

[@DeadpanVT]

@@dylanchiesa602 Real Nazi's that fought in ww2 are all dead pretty much there was lists of high risk individuals all marked as war criminals most were executed when America came in and raided their camps and bases. All nazi officals and criminals of war were executed on spot when found (soldiers arrested). So even making that argument is stupid because it's actually illegal to be a Nazi in Germany. Any Nazi flags are banned in Germany and idealizing Nazi's is warranted for arrest. America is actually the main issue with what is what we call Nazi's today which are Neo-Nazis new age new generation of Nazi's fueled on outdated toxic and politically unjust mindsets of setting standards that a white male with blue eyes and blonde hair is the superior human and sadly that stance still exists because fucked people raised fucked children that found hitlers ideology. I myself would be seen as superior by that mindset and it digusts me because my family is from Germany originally and fought against Germany in ww2. I still have my great grandfathers gas mask. The hardships the German people faced should have died when that war ended not for some sick individuals to think was good enough to bring into the 21st century in a new country.

[@jennawhite5466]

One of the few songs to break my heart every time I hear it, and to make me get chills and teary eyed towards the end of verse 2.

[@Shiznittlebizbampop1]

Same here. My father was (Is, once you are you never aren't) a Marine. He was a marine for 11 years and then in the air Force for another 11 and now secret service for the past 30 years. So needless to say I grew up in a military home and time's weren't always great, But my dad definitely is instilled everything he learned into me and my older brothers (Youngest of 3 boys) and I can't even put to words how proud and thankful for him I am and the US military because that was his only real father figure. This video always hits me so hard because the stats are so true, I've grown up always asking "Why hasn't Uncle 'PutNameHere'?" And him an my mother would always tell us some story of where they are and not let us know that they were homeless and then only a few days/weeks/months/years later we are at a funeral for them and it's always heart breaking, you never get use to losing someone, especially to suicide; when the thing that they did wrong in their life seems to be signing up to help protect our country. It's never fair... But neither is life. This video always reminds me of that and always brings me to tears. This is the first time I've actually seen a veteran react to it though. And I really hope he dose what he said "I need to do something" every little bit of help is needed to help our soldiers to get back on their feet once they get home, and keep them on their feet.

I was throwing a party once and my friend and he friend got there early and we were listening to music and I showed her this. Boy she was balling her fucking eyes out. Pretty sure this song got me laid. But yeah. This song just fucking hits you in the gut.

[@bryananderson8402]

I just came across your videos this morning by chance and I love it. I am a disabled veteran. Thank you Stan for your service. One of the reasons FFDP is so big on veterans is because 2 of the band members have dads who are veterans plus they love this country, obviously. Keep up the great work!

[@johnjr757]

My father went decades with medical issues and undiagnosed PTSD from being in Vietnam. He never had severe issues and would never seek assistance because he felt since he wasn't infantry and was stationed at a base others deserved the help and he didn't. He finally listened to us a few years ago and joined a local veterans group and began going to the VA. It turned out many medical problems he had were likely from being exposed to Agent Orange just from being in country, especially the area he was stationed. Now he wishes he had gone years ago, but is thankful he eventually did decide to go.

[@five9guy69]

this song hits very close to home for me. i wanted to tell you that you are all (veterans) appreciated and loved by guys like me.

[@justincase6815]

Thank you for your service, great reaction. I am a veteran, 9( the USAF. Great reaction! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@fredjohnson7588]

As a former marine I'd like to thank you boys for your service this video gets me everytime

[@Calbenmike]

Once a Marine, always a Marine. Thank you for your service.

[@dlb83082]

I did two years in Iraq - 15 years total as a US Army paratrooper - this always brings tears to my eyes to know all my friends who died in country and after when they off themselves - it hurts brothers - thank you for your service brothers - you will always be my brother if you served

[@The_Dirt_Merchant]

I can't listen to this song or watch the video without crying, even now. As a veteran, I have been several statics that they state in this video, and it pains me to see that nothing is being done to improve this. 5FDP has always supported the troops and they have helped me through some tough times. Check out their cover of "Gone Away" (originally by The Offspring. They have a great way of painting a visual image of someone who suffers with loss and PTSD in that video. I can attest. Patriotism is very trendy it seems, and it appears that the trend wore off around 2010. I joined in September of 2000, and was med out in 2009. Almost half way there. The VA has gotten better since Trump has taken over, but they still have a long way to go. Thank you all for your service brothers! No civilian will ever understand. OIF 05-06 & 07-08 11B all the way!

Love FFDP and our service men and women 💕🇺🇸 I cry Everytime I hear or play this song! Thank y'all for your service! I'll never look at the homeless the same way. Love you guys!

[@markberky5576]

Watching this hurts. I'm a veteran -- 1972-75. This video made me feel guilty that I haven't done much for my military brothers and sisters that came before and after me. Thank you for playing it.

[@damonbryan7232]

Never to late. Battle buddies,brothers an sisters are in need. Remember: stand with me. An you'll never stand alone. Even if it's just spreading the word. Every little bit helps.

Brings me to tears every time.. Thank you for your service!

[@STRAKAZulu]

Song hits me hard every time, but seeing your reactions was worth it. Thank you for your service.

[@karlsmith2570]

I'd been wondering when someone was going to do a video like this, having a veteran reacting to this song Stan's reaction pretty much sums it all up I thank you for your service Stan

[@Ghostrob2023]

I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice to you and your brothers who served. And thank you for showing this video and giving your reactions to it because it hits hard for every Vet who is going through it alone even if they are living with their family or on the streets they are still alone. I appreciate every single Vet who served, because my grandfather served and both of my dad's served and fought over in Vietnam. God bless you both, your families and all of our Vets and those who are serving right now and their families.

[@mattk7123]

I just subscribed to your channel guys! Thanks for everything that you and your family has done for our country

My brother a former marine and I had a car shop in so cal. We took in so many homeless veterans together and on our own and there where always more. I love in Vegas now and FFDP are bad ass out here. More than just words and token action. Glad you got to see this. Everyone should.

[@christophershrimplin1849]

Thank yall for sharing this. I am an 8 year vet of the USMC, and that was almost me when I exited active duty. It means the world to me that y'all shared this, and spread awareness.

[@justicar5]

people in the UK who want to help our veterans, Help for Heroes, The Poppy Appeal and the RAF Association are all good choices,

[@kevlarburrito6693]

If all else fails, hit one of our vet groups up in the US and we'll do what we can.

[@alicepleasance7664]

Thank you for your service. We all must do more. Watching you watch this brought a flood of tears.

[@janicea135]

Thank you guys for waiting until the end to comment on this. That shows upmost respect. My fathers side of the family is all military and this song and video brought tears to my dad and I because we know vets who are in the same predicament. Thank you to ALL veterans who have fought and died for our country and continue to do so. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

TBI is something seen a lot in football players too. The research is new but growing rapidly. Impacts to the brain change the chemistry permanently. Thank you for honoring veterans. - from an Aussie, sister and granddaughter to veterans.

[@wrightee61]

thank y'all for reviewing this. I wouldn't be able to do it, The shit makes me cry. I spent 2 years on the streets. I can recall digging cardboard out of dumpsters to sleep on, so the snow didn't melt through my clothes and freeze me. A vet friend of mine hauled my sorry ass off the streets. He was a Marine, I wasn't, but that didn't matter to him. We were Brothers as far as he was concerned. I wouldn't be here today if he hadn't. Dude saved my ass.

[@comedianstanshelby857]

Glad to hear you are doing better my friend.

[@drewski2305]

[@keithweaver3365]

First of all, Stan, from one vet to another, thank you for your service. Secondly, thank both of you for your candidnese. Your honest reactions help with the depression of our service. I lost many friends from 9/11 to present who have served. You help me feel like I'm not alone. It may be a small councialtion to me and my friends but it means worlds to myself and them. And the outreach you have achieved makes it that much more meaningful. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish the were more I could do to help in your endeavours.

I'm in high school currently and people don't even say the pledge of allegiance anymore. We still stand but nobody says anything. My dad was a veteran and I say the pledge out loud everyday. God bless America and God bless our vets

[@louiscopechal3895]

All i can say is... this video hits hard. The fight never ends, the struggles never cease! Thanks for your support of us vets! This 1 and George Jones Wild Irish Rose are the 2 that leave me within my own mind! Wild Irish Rose tals about the exact same thing. Give it a look.

Speechless everytime I hear this song... the video tears me apart inside at the feeling of someone not being valued/discarded from society. Thank you all very much for everything you have done.

So true… sometimes there are no words when action speaks so much louder. Thanks for the reminder to do more! Nice work guys 👍🏼

Great song choice and reaction! Stan, Thank You for your service! We all as Americans need to do more for our armed forces! They should never have a want or need, financially or medically, when they return home! Peace!!☮

There is a special place in hell for the 26 that disliked this video. FFDP will always be my favorite, there is a video on KZbin of FFDP when they step on stage in front of a packed audience and start out with national anthem. It will give you chill bump. Thank you to all of the veterans and my you all find peace.
