I’m an Iraq combat vet, 2009-2014. The amount of friends I have that lost their lives in battle, and the friends that took their lives after coming back home and bringing the war with them…this song always makes me cry. Thank you for this reaction. All blessings to the the people involved with this video. We are not very different, and the pain on both sides makes me weep. I am trying to heal from these mental wounds but I fear I will never truly get better.

@@mishaDorjan I am sorry for the pain caused by so much loss, and may their memories be a blessing. If not today, then someday soon. I wish the “powers that be” in every country would be forced to understand that entering a war or a “conflict” would be forced to understand that they aren’t sending a unit or division to war, rather they are sending actual human beings. But more importantly that they be forced to understand that not a single soldier/airman/etc sent into battle will escape the moral injury of war. There is no way to escape the fact that war, whatever side you are on causes an indelible moral injury. There was a science fiction writer that a friend of mine was particularly fond of. When she found out about my former husband’s TBI and PTSD Diagnosis she sent a blog post from this author (it has since been taken down, sadly). He had a perspective about the moral injury of war and PTDD. Roughly paraphrased he said that there will always be a time before and then the everything after. PTSD and moral injury will always be part of your life once you cross into the everything after. It’s like a heavy, awkwardly weighted box that you have been sentenced to carry for the rest of your life. But the more time that passes and the more work you do in therapy the box gets less heavy, lighter, easier to carry until one day you have all the tools at your disposal to work with your PTSD and moral injury, it’s not gone but you have done the work. You might not realize until one day when something that would have sent you spiraling just… didn’t anymore. You still have the box but has shrunk to the size of a book of matches and you can carry it in your pocket. It is always with you, but if you do the work, one day you aren’t carrying it in front of you, it’s now so small that you can barely feel it in your back pocket. Much the same as dog tags felt strange against your skin until one day, you just ceased to feel them the same way. They were part of your life and even after you no longer wear them it still feels like they are there. I don’t know if that helps you in any way, but I have seen that hurt before. That pain. It’s beyond hard. No one told you that the scariest part would be when it was all over and you were home but it feels like a pale facsimile of home. I am so sorry you carried the burden of a Nation on your back. I am so sorry that you have invisible scars. But keep getting up every day. Find someone who has your six and will see through the “I’m ok” on rough days and hold you accountable for doing the work and will call for professional help to get you through the times it is so dark you don’t know if you can ever crawl your way back to the sunshine. Find a good therapist and don’t be afraid to tell the VA if you don’t work well with the first or second. Head up. Keep moving. If you are American and find yourself in crisis dial 988 on your cell. Press 1 immediately if you are a veteran.

I was so emotional watching these lovely humans react instantaneously to this video. The shock and disbelief that US Vets face so many obstacles when they leave the military. Time and time again this channel has reminded me that there is goodness in humanity. Listening to the news and talking heads on every 24 hour news channel would lead you to believe that US Pakistani relations are so poor and our cultures so diametrically opposed that we would have nothing in common. This channel proves all of that rhetoric, all of that bluster wrong. Who on earth could not love Mr Rogers? Who on earth could watch the Kennedy Center Honors performance of “Stairway to Heaven” and not be bowled over not only by the performers on stage, but the reaction of the surviving members of Led Zeppelin? All that said, this was the most surprising reaction for me. Their reaction was visceral and immediate. The shock and sadness that in a country as wealthy as ours that veterans, especially combat veterans, face so many challenges trying to reintegrate into society that tens of thousands of them are homeless and sleeping rough. I can’t remember if it was one of our friends or different people, but something to the effect of “Our country is so poor we rely on NGOs to get buy and our veterans are treated better.” and “Our country is one of the most poverty stricken in the world but our veterans come home and are able to afford a small home and a way to live. How can they not?” I am not a professional in any way, other than having a former spouse bring the war home to me, but I truly think that the answer to the different outcomes for our respective veterans comes down an aspect of the name of the channel. “Trybals” or tribal. Being in a tribe gives a person an identity, living in a small village means that everyone is more connected and more reliant on each other on a day to day basis. This means a veteran is more like to return to a place where people recognize when they are facing mental health issues like PTSD and the other moral injuries of war and do not leave them to suffer alone. The culture in the United States is so different. I think Dar Williams nailed in her song “Iowa” when she said “Way back where I come from we never want to make our passions other people’s concerns. We walk in a world of safe people and at night we walk into our houses and burn.” We give veterans a free breakfast at Denny’s on Veterans Day, fly the flag or wear the pin, and say that magic phrase “Thank you for your service.” While it was always offered sincerely and it is phrase that many civilians believe means so much, (and makes me want to bang my head against a wall to this day ) but to so many Veterans have told me rings so hollow. It doesn’t invite engagement or conversation. It is a token thrown about that makes people feel like they are really supporting “our troops” but words don’t pay the rent or put food on the table. I would encourage people instead to ask Veterans any of the following. “I noticed you are a Veteran. May I ask you a question or two? How is the VA treating you? Do you feel that you are getting the things you need? Is there anything I can do as a civilian to make things better for Current Conflict Veterans?” So many times it just comes down to pushing the government for more and better funding of the VA and not pushing Veterans to use their VA benefits in the outside healthcare system, especially for mental health care. Combat Veterans require specialized care and while those in larger cities may be able to find therapists and doctors who understand, for those of us in the flyover States don’t have that luxury. Sometimes a Veteran hearing and participating in respectful engagement with a civilian is enough to get them through that day. That hour. That minute. 24 Veterans a day purposely end their own lives and another 20 a day die by “self injury mortality” (government speak for overdose deaths). 44 Veterans a day, each and every day. Day after day. Month after month. Year after year. Just being seen as human being worth engaging with can be life changing for a Veteran on the edge. For US residents: If you or anyone you love or just encounter is in crisis dial 988 from a mobile phone. Press 1 if you are a Veteran.

I am a Iraq combat veteran, Kirkuk 2006-2007 and Tikrit 2007-2009 with the 101st Airborne Division. When the gentleman said that their veterans are respected and they get to leave service and build a home, it literally broke me. When I got medically retired for PTSD I owed the Army $7000 due to a small monthly overpayment I received for a couple years. I was broke, without a job, and the government taking money from me after 7 years of service. It shatters me to realize that America, home of the brave, treats us worse than our "enemy" does their own. These people are not our enemy, these men are more wise than our own leaders here in America. This makes me question everything I have ever know. And its breaking my heart...

It's interesting to me that they are not offended, alarmed, afraid, or put off by heavy music. They never have been. I watch a channel called Virgin Rock where the presenter had almost no exposure to rock, punk, or metal her entire life. She's a classically trained musician and teaches. And she also doesn't have that knee-jerk reaction. She hasn't always liked the heavy music, but just because she doesn't like the particular song. She hasn't been put off by heavy music just because it's heavy. For people in the US not used to metal, they hear it as full of anger and for some reason, they equate that with hatred, rage, and sadism. But most metal is about anger against injustice, against abuse, against unfairness. It's passionate. But Americans shy away from passion, and when someone exhibits it in not just the very limited ways it's acceptable, it's seen as them having a screw loose.

This is the first video that broke me emotionally. My first husband served three tours and returned to me with a minor TBI and severe PTSD. It took almost three years for his disability claim to be processed. And then reprocessed when the paperwork went missing. Three years without any real treatment and a very tense money situation for us. We faced homelessness as well. When his claim was finally processed and he got a disability rating things got better. We had at least a minimum income to rely on and he received less than adequate mental health treatment. I was also provided with a therapist who understood what I was dealing with. He was compliant with treatment for a time. Until he wasn’t. He became violent in his sleep, then during the day. He was almost 2 meters (6 feet 6 inches) tall and I am less than a meter and a half tall (5 feet 3 inches). I loved him but I knew one day or one night in his sleep he could easily kill me, probably not intentionally meaning to. But I couldn’t stay if he didn’t get help and keep getting help. I left him for my own safety and it was heartbreaking for both of us. He acted out of anger and tried to use a firearm against me as I was trying to gather some clothing to take with me to a safe place. He was friends with the police so no charges were filed. As much as my heart broke for him, his trauma, and the end of our marriage I wanted to live a life where I felt safe to sleep at night. People may judge me for my choice to leave but three years of terror was almost more than I could handle. And what I am about to say will likely be controversial, but it is my truth and the truth of far too many women in America. I didn’t sign up for war, but the war came home to me. I now have complex PTSD, an anxiety disorder, and a TBI from our life together. That is somewhat understandable, but for those of us who left under the cover of darkness, who fled with only what we could carry in our arms to save our lives and the lives of children, we lose all access to Veterans Administration services, including our therapists the moment the divorce papers are signed. That leaves thousands of women without our therapists. Without doctors and professionals who understand exactly what we are talking about, something that is hard to find in the regular health systems in large cities and impossible to find in rural areas where I happen to live. It took me another 3 to 4 years to find a therapist who understood why I jump at doors slamming, raised voices, or the sound of a gun being cocked. I am not saying that I have it worse than my former husband, just that there are thousands of walking wounded spouses too. My ex husband remarried and they have a lovely child together. He seems to have a life that he loves. I wish him nothing but peace and healing and happiness. I just hope to have that one day too. Because there are still more days than not, that I wonder if I am on the wrong side of heaven.

You did what you needed to do for your safety, and anyone who doesn't understand that is either a fool and/or has never been in a situation which is that traumatizing and dangerous. I wish that you still had access to the things you lost; you were also standing in the line of fire, albeit in a different sense than what your ex had gone through. When you think about domestic violence, most people don't see it as a combat zone - but it is. It totally is. I wish that anyone who has gone through that can get all the help they need, and a way out which doesn't end in darkness. I'm holding your hand and praying for you, and also for your ex. I'm praying for all those who have been touched by this, for our troops and for those who love them.

The military service members have the right intentions when they show up, I believe, most of them anyway, and yet they come home and are treated horribly with the current system in place for them.

It gets worse. In the United States (I can't speak for other countries) a lot of people only enlist because they're desperate and can't find any other job. If you're lucky, you'll come out of it with some skills and VA help to get a university degree. But a lot of times, you just end up with mental or physical injuries, or both. This is why I don't tell someone "thank you for your service" unless I know that they feel positively about their time in the military. I've met too many people who didn't want to be soldiers, so hearing this just feels like a slap in the face. Mention of fighting in this song made me think of this, even though it's barely related--are you guys interested in reacting to different forms of dance? If so, you might like the "Trading Taps" number from Riverdance. (I think the 2002 version is the best.) It uses a "dance battle" to compare traditional Irish dancing with modern Jazz dancing. There are a few lines of narration, but they don't really need to be translated; the dancers show us the story.

As an Afghanistan war vet (Marjah 2010 2/6 G co USMC) I love to see the humanity in the people of the region (Pakistan is close enough) I would love to have chai with you and your friends here. These are good people. I too have lost more friends after the war than have died during combat. I think it has to do with a number of things. The weight of the war and what was witnessed and done, being looked at by your friends as if you are a ghost and not being able to reconnect, not wanting to talk to those you served with thinking you are putting the war behind you, being dropped into the ocean of the free world without a life raft, not feeling important anymore or feeling part of a group of highly trained professionals, your life didn’t turn out the way you thought it would, you became someone you didn’t like. These thoughts are the manifestations of a troubled mind, a symptom of anxiety. A lot of warriors have to use a technique of turning fear into anger to survive stressful situations. This is another reason they cannot control their anger at times. They are afraid of what they can’t control and the unknown. Their first reflex is still anger. This can cause a lot of problems with personal relationships. Anyway thank you for sharing your thoughts on my culture, the first video I watched was the Matalica one and was surprised you enjoyed the music. I will be watching more, please keep up the work it is fascinating.

Can I suggest you “Hero of War” by the american band Rise Against? It’s a powerful anti-war song that tells the story of a soldier who enlists in the military, driven by promises of honor and patriotism. As the song progresses, it delves into the harsh realities of war, exploring the emotional and psychological toll it takes on those who fight. The soldier initially believes in the ideals of duty and sacrifice, but as he experiences the horrors of war, including violence, torture, and moral compromise, he becomes disillusioned. The lyrics reflect on how the soldier’s once-idealistic view of heroism is shattered by the brutal and dehumanizing nature of combat. By the end, the song conveys the soldier’s deep regret and haunting memories, challenging the glorification of war and questioning what it truly means to be a “hero.”

im gonna be honest here, since alot of folks wont. no, our heroes are NOT treated like this (its a song, not really about anyone in particular, just using war as a catchy hook). celebs are treated like heroes while actual heroes are largely forgotten (or even spit on in the case of Vietnam veterans). no, Americans do NOT revere REAL heroes like this. aint no money in that. its all about the celebrities and THEIR culture that gets all the love, and its sad and disgusting. sure, alot of folks will be like "thank you for your service", but all the while they'll say it to a HOMELESS veteran, but do literally nothing to actually help that homeless hero.... more often than not, real heroes here, end up homeless and destitute. because they cannot be monetized!!! i mean, one could look at the pay structure in the military alone and understand nobody truly appreciates them. 20k a year???? thats LESS than minimum wage, when youre literally on call 24/7/365.... gangster rappers rapping about murder have more fans than a purple heart recipient, or a medal of honor recipient. thats truly sickening really

I am doing policy and legislation social work degree. I hope to write laws protecting US veterans and guaranteeing them care, during and after their service. We have so many forgotten vets who turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with losing their sanity and it isnt fair when they have given the ultimate sacrifice. They give years of their life to protect all that is good and just in this world. And its unfair to them to throw them to the wayside when they retire. My father was a Vietnam veteran. He was drafted, so he did not have a choice to go or stay. He was honorably discharged in 1970. He didn’t get pay, benefits, or care till 2005 when we got one of our congressman to march with us to the Texas state capital, to fight for his rights and so many others. In the US, we often say, "God Bless the troops and thanks to our veterans," but we never say, "Take care of our veterans now that they are home." With Veterans Day being tomorrow, please keep them in your thoughts as folks like me get our degrees to be able to be a loud voice for these forgotten souls. Its up to us to make a stand and give them the life they deserve, not a cement ground, but a warm home and cozy bed. They have struggled enough and will always be fighting a battle.

Im glad they understand that a soldier follows orders. They do many things they may not agree with and sadly somethings they regret so much, they rather die than live with the memories. American soliders are pawns in many circumstances. The way they are cast aside after serving their purpose is disgusting.
@SpiritWolf209Ай бұрын
Yes, I know that legally a soldier has the right to refuse immoral or unlawful orders, at least American soldiers, but I imagine that it isn't quite that easy when you are actually there in the system.

On a side note, I have a suggestion: Put the video in the upper left, so the caption doesn't cover it (but I realize the guests are looking down, and putting the video in the lower left makes it look kind of like they are watching that video there). But it covers the video. I've seen very few music videos overall, so I'd like to not have it covered.

"they dont deserve this, after giving everything." How we treat our vetrans is shameful is the USA. He's right, they're all right. Our veterans deserve better from us, and we should be outraged at just how little they get in the end.

My father was Army Special Forces during Vietnam, my 72 yr old mother was a Marine, my brother an Army Combat Engineer/Airborne Ranger, step brother was in the Army for close to 20yrs partially in Iraq, and I was also in the Army National Guard. I knew that killing another human being would destroy me and luckily that didn't happen. I had made a vow to GOD as a child that I would never take another humans life. The things these men and women have to do breaks them. Many are not right in their mind anymore and they need help to rebalance. Your Conscience/GOD tells them not to do it but they are ordered by their leaders to do so. They go against what their Conscience tells them and they pay a hefty price. They must understand that they are forgiven of their sins if they only ask Yeshua/Jesus.

With respect to the video ❤ It would be a great honor to see them react to the famous church choir from Utah in the USA, "Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square". It is a beautiful choir comprised of the most talented musicians from all over the world. They sing songs praising God. Here is a song recommendation. A hymn telling how as human beings, it is our nature to do evil. God teaches us and shows us the way we should live our lives. He will take us and be our guide. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYGuoZ6opqeqhNUsi=YXSXraLkcffJ8RH4

Do you think that these gentlemen could handle Tool’s Wings for Marie? They have shown themselves to be empathetic and open men. But I wonder how they would react to a song that contains so much anger against God for human suffering. And it would require a very good job of translating the lyrics for them. Very demanding.

Sad that the life of a returned soldier in America is so different to Pakistani's view. Has to make peoole stop and ask why. And with all the armed forces now know about the psychological effects you'd think services would have improved. If countries send their citizens into wars and conflict they need to have better after care. A better solution would be stop the conflict. Seeing all thst goes on it's amazing any American would even sign up. It's admirable watching these wise men, I don't think they see the grass as being greener on the other side, and I doubt they'd want to move to America, their much more simple life and customs mean so much more to them. That said, could you imaginr them in a big stadium watching a great performance... my choice for them would be something symphonic because they love the melodies, and a bit of metal and woven storytelling... Nightwish comes to mind, or Sabaton's Carolus Rex. Or even Feuerschwanz or d'Artagnan, the different instruments those two bands use would be something different.

Will you go to Heaven when you die ? Have you ever Lied, stolen, used Gods name in vain (such as OMG), Had sex outside of Marriage ? Truth is...We have all sinned and broke Gods laws. And sin is what sends us to Hell. But even though we broke Gods laws, God being rich in mercy sent his son Jesus born of a virgin. He lived a sinless perfect life something we could not do. He willingly went to the cross and took the punishment we deserve by dying on the cross for our sins. Then 3 days later rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eye witnesses and then ascended into Heaven where he sits at the right hand of God. So please today put your Faith and trust in Jesus before its too late.

One would hope a racist could see this video. I doubt it would change them on the inside, but to see the people you deem your enemy genuinely feel for your soldiers more than your own politicians.. That should tell you all you need to know about the world outside of the bubble that is the west. I'm not saying everyone abroad shares this sentiment. No, of course not. The US has committed many, MANY war crimes and have left countless families with members dead. So it's understandable that some will never, ever be able to forgive or forget, but to those not touched by the chaos machine that is the American government, this is what humanity looks like.
