Veterans Deploy To Standing Rock

[@sandrajacobson3871]

I have never been so proud of our veterans. You are truly protecting us. I can not thank you enough!!!

[@BotchedGod]

I'm so thankful for these brave men and women. You're true patriots and I love you and salute you. Thank you.

[@floresgt3]

These veterans make me proud to be a veteran. This is honor, courage and commitment. Thank you for being brave and showing leadership.

[@oldhippy355]

Stay strong Young Turks. We need people like you. You are helping more and more people from around the world to see behind the curtain. Peace from the UK.

[@elmasry3241]

My respect for veterans has went up from %100 to %1000

[@mikeconley9590]

Thank you vets! sending love from Arkansas.

[@MutatedPizzaBoi]

Veterans, thank you for your service.

[@napa762]

+beatthisroot so terribly unnecessary

[@napa762]

Ok sir I see your pain is deep and I pray you find healing from whatever trauma you hold I do not wish to defeat my original message by being disrespectful in turn so. I will instead ask why you have chosen this video about a kind act of human beings to speak out about your anger and if you actually watched the video I'm not here to change your opinion about anything I only wished to honor the men and women in standing rock who were once deployed in a war they didn't wage or request I'm not excusing the cruel or unjust action of any individual soldier that will be their burden and is between them and their creator (or the courts if my country is not completely lost)

[@thomasclark1466]

As a current serving member of the military I can't even begin to tell you how much I support this! I honestly wish that could be there as well! Love this and completely unequivocally support this!

[@thebulletcraft]

"But liberals hate America so why would you serve in the military?" -Every trumpie ever

[@ismaelpr]

Im a retired combat veteran ("OIF/OEF") who supports %100 the Water Protectors movement. I am also a decolonization advocate and activist for Puerto Rico's colonial status (and resident on the island). It makes me proud to see that a lot of veterans (like myself) are also backing the indigenous peoples of North America and their right to protect our natural resources from federal, corporative, and imperial tyranny. I would be glad to physically be there with them fighting against the systematic white supremasist, oligarchic, and fascist ideals, that govern the federal government and statian society.

[@MethosFilms]

RoMeIs Burning I am a canadian veteran. served in Afghanistan 2 tours of duty. I am on your side fully.

[@hairydavis9996]

thank you TYT N Jordan! Cheyenne River Sioux standing strong!

[@MeetLeAnne]

Hi Cenk, Thank you for your incredible uncensored coverage of what's happening at Standing Rock. I am a Wolf-Pac member in Oregon (my orientation's in the morning), but I just became a TYT member tonight. I am so grateful for TYT, You, Ana & the entire crew. I am also a big supporter of Dennis Trainor, and the entire progressive movement. Thank you for giving me a reason to live. You and the TYT network has given me a reason to step out of my despair, and fight. Thank you for giving me my life back.

[@peggyrigli151]

Thank you vets for coming to help! It glades my heart to see you still take your oath seriously. It is just sad it is in side America. Be safe. Thank you for your service and for serving now!

[@Timjohncarr1]

I'm so proud of our veterans. Thank You

[@dmwalker24]

Couldn't agree more. This is a beautiful example of why our veterans are deserving of all the respect, appreciation, and support we can provide.

[@maggiemay5618]

Michael is a true hero. Thank you sir

[@Bdpjev]

I love these Veterans. Actions like these remind me why this country is great.

[@beautyjunkie3866]

Go Michael! You're the reason why I have the utmost respect for the people serving in our military. I wish the people deploying you guys had the same type of respect and courage.

[@debsweetman1867]

True Americans supporting Real Americans ! Thank You ! much love !

[@vinnythewebsurfer]

Godspeed my dudes. You're doing more then you know.

[@brigittebeck7762]

i have never been prouder of our veterans..who risk everything for us..!!

[@JoeKickass324]

Yup, Veterans protecting citizens is exactly what should happen, instead of murdering foreigners on foreign land

[@ragnaroksora8129]

+JoeKickass324 yep zionism will fall eventually

[@ragnaroksora8129]

Zio Oren .. Seriously

[@ragnaroksora8129]

Zio Oren globalization, anti-nationalist, center control, who can natives be respected when foreign forces are in their land

[@ragnaroksora8129]

Zio Oren yes anti nationalism

[@RhianKristen]

This is such an incredible story. I applaud these people for standing against this unbelievable, unprovoked violence. I hope they succeed, with all my heart. Not just for the atrocious way the protestors have been treated or the Indian tribes have been treated, but for the future of our planet. Fossil fuels can no longer be our main energy source if we want this planet to survive. I am not American, but I would be proud to stand with you.

[@tomatodamashi]

*Native Americans* Indians are from India

[@GusHersey_Kuleanapono]

Standing rock event will change America forever. Im happy that Vets are recognizing whats happening

[@CityStarKidd69]

thank you vets

[@micahwoodcock636]

Veterans still defending us when they're out of the service. Salt of the earth. Love these guys.

[@jeffparker360]

I didn't know how I could do my part in helping until I watched your previous report. I donated. Thank you guys for doing what you do.

[@oddball9795]

give me money

[@jeffparker360]

odd ball nope.

[@MrVikingdane]

This is so fantastic to see. You wouldn't expect to see vets showing for roles like this 🤘🏻

[@jamiecox2256]

pretty sad when our veterans actually went to war foreign and abroad and have to come home and war against their own corrupt system. That's a damn shame and thank you Veterans for standing up once again to the enemy.....even though this time on American soil!

[@team1275]

Jamie Cox salute to our veterans.

[@jamiecox2256]

Nilufar Rahman yes....thank you Veterans! !!!! 👏👏👏

[@SirTalksALot01]

Jamie Cox Those foreign wars are wars that were started by the suit wearing fat cats and career politicians. They are the real enemy, this is the war they should have been in all this time, along with every other citizen who has either gave up or are brainwashed.

[@jamiecox2256]

SirTalksALot01 exactly and well said! 👏👏

[@ragnaroksora8129]

that because of Zionism and Globalization.

[@curumu_yt]

Nothing but respect for the veterans

[@Candleknight]

I've been on the fence about becoming a member for a long time, but this clenches it for me. We're going to need more independent journalism like this in the coming years, and I'm willing to throw a few bucks their way to make sure that happens. 8D GJ y'all!

[@Blubirdmoon111]

THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE AT STANDING ROCK TO DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF NATIVES! Its about TIME we stood up for them! Better late than never.

[@alocintsruh]

As a disabled veteran this gives me so much hope. Thank you guys and girls who signed up to do this. If I wasn't disabled I would definitely be there too. To connect the dots of this to raising your right hand and pledging to protect agains all enemies foreign and domestic, this is also how a lot of us felt about the veteran who retaliated against the cops after two black men were gunned down virtually back to back. Maybe what the shooter did was not the right course of action but when you continue to see the gross injustice time after time after time against your own people right here at home something clicks. They send you all the way overseas to kill people who never did a thing to you personally and yet you watch folks attacking your own people and you are suppose to somehow sit on the fact that you were trained to protect against both foreign and domestic enemies. Money has gotten in the way of sound judgment for our leaders. They are killing the planet, killing the people in the planet and expecting us to sit down quietly and just take it. I am grateful that these brave people of standing rock refuse to do so and that the veterans who raised their right hand to give that oath are backing them. Thank you.

[@scottwagner7089]

alocintsruh there's wounded warriors there. Hopefully you're not as disabled as my friend who lost all but one limb. That guy still goes surfing. What's your excuse?

[@ramjet6677]

I love this story and shows the TRUE American spirit to me which is rare because they keep you all divided..... Seeing, Hearing and Feeling for you all in Australia !!!

[@jimconstable9600]

Thank you for broadcasting this. We in Australia had no idea this was happening until the other day. I have posted lots to you today so I dont need to tell you how I feel about this. I have treid to share some fo these and am being blocked in some instances. Keep the fatih Love and Respect to the water and land protectors at #Standingrock

[@christierosario9320]

thank you for standing up for them. I commend you for not allowing fear stop you from raising your voices and protecting Standing Rock. My ancestors would thank you. My great great aunt died in a fire as a baby when "they" burned my great great grandmas home. she couldn't save her baby. they thank you too. you are all amazing!

[@TrixtersMommy]

♥♥♥♥♥

[@TKNbeatz]

Thank you so much TYT for keeping this going! This will be the change..

[@alzabeesww]

Thanks so much for your coverage!

[@EagleWoman777]

MANY blessings to you, Michael! You and Wes are my brothers, and heroes!

[@teresaweaver6026]

This is awesome news. I'm so proud of Jordan too. He has truly been there, as my grandmaw used to say, "from guts" and will be there "till rev-u-lations!" (Appy Mtns). Some days Jordan looks so tired, but he ain't budging. What a trooper!

[@krisdesiato9432]

Support the Veterans!

[@reginaldwilliams7348]

Kris Desiato yes let's support the veterans,but let's not forget about the real reason for them coming. it's too stop the building of the pipeline though the river of the native americans land. just saying.

[@krisdesiato9432]

My son is in the Air-Force and not a war criminal.

[@kathamongthepigeons]

There is space and a warm welcome for any and all veterans and any other.

[@nash984954]

A wonderful show of support this is. Thanks to the veterans.

[@kevinalonso6338]

You're all great, damn this is awesome!

[@najbrzi28]

This young solder gives me hope in humanity!

[@TinaDerby01]

Go MICHAEL! You are an AMAZING young man!

[@medrack101]

so proud of our veterans! :)

[@whitelight8164]

Thank you Native Americans I recall the first 5 people that where out there everyday. praying. wonderful how peace n love is so attractive. Thank you everyone.

[@namelast6039]

A real hero and real soldier!!!

[@netabaughman3079]

Thank you all for all you are doing.blessings xoxox

[@elguapo4994]

Thank you for your service. foreign and domestic...thank you

[@MarioUcomics]

RESPECT!!!

[@the707boogiemonster]

I'm a veteran and I'd like to come and stand

[@MG-un2pr]

Thank You. For standing for all of us.

[@The1greenWorld]

thank you Gentlemen. the world thanks you!

[@ig21100]

They truly are American heroes.

[@IslandGirl-nt6ry]

Thank you veterans, we love you! There is no better service you could be doing for your country than this!!!! Total respect!!!

[@GeordiLaForgery]

All four of you are awesome, great to see Mike and Lee on the show again.

[@thomasmackelly7685]

These veterans are true heroes!

[@Nyrata]

The veterans did get the struggle on international news: On the RTL4 (19.30) news today in the Netherlands, the protest was mentioned. That was the second time this week, and the second time in total since the protests started. So attention is spreading, awareness is spreading. And that's excellent.

[@2zwaantjes]

Zijn er ook Nederlanders onderweg om de Native Americans te steunen? Want dat zou helemaal geweldig nieuws zijn.

[@Nyrata]

Ik weet niet of er veteranen onderweg zijn voor de actie dit weekend.... Het geld dat ingezameld is, gaat naar de benzinekosten van alle veteranen die over de weg naar Noord-Dakota rijden en niet naar vliegtickets, dus het is een prijzige reis voor een Nederlander. Wel weet ik dat er protesten zijn geweest in Amsterdam om de Sioux steun te betuigen. Ook is er één Nederlander al een tijdje aanwezig in het kamp. Geen veteraan, maar gewoon een vrijwilliger. Dat neemt niet weg dat dat ontzettend moedig is van hem om daar in die zware omstandigheden te strijden voor het stoppen van de DAPL.

[@newb387]

As a Veteran! I stand with the Veterans and with all the brave souls in the front line.....

[@theopkingdom3433]

Thank you, veterans, for defending our Constitution!!

[@seahawkdragon9355]

Bless you Michael Wood!!

[@e.c.sebastian3928]

Michael A. Wood, Jr. -Much respect!

[@samimas4343]

for veterans to be present there makes all the sense there is. those veterans vowed to protect the people and the land and they are doing that, but unfortunately many are fighting for corporate benefits.

[@mangycat221]

The Water Protectors and yourselves are true heroes. I never understood why a person would feel a sense of duty to a presiding authority, but a sense of duty to the people... that I can get behind. I wish there were a way to offer a golden parachute to the officers who resign. It would be an awesome gesture, a show of solidarity with compassionate police, and an interesting contrast to the usual recipients of such generosity.

[@janewhitmore5396]

Im crying right now...some of my faith is restored in humanity

[@ston3dassasn228]

As a veteran I'm proud. He wears a shirt of the oath we took. He's another keeping that oath.

[@chickadee677]

Wow, Michael Wood is a real American hero!!

[@joelongew]

Lee Camp The LEGEND

[@reginaldwilliams7348]

I'm gald that veterans are going to help the native americans.

[@chrispetets3683]

Reginald Williams haha that dude is probably from the coast guard

[@GreyGeneral]

+Chris Petets If you mean Michael Wood he was a marine and Baltimore cop I believe.

[@reginaldwilliams7348]

*****​ you are right all veterans should help with this protest against the big corporations and donald chump making money off the native americans land...

[@NoBody-tz4fb]

+Reginald Williams what's your source of that statement?

[@reginaldwilliams7348]

mike ander​ what do you mean by that? donald trump in the oil business

[@sherriemoon703]

We took the oath to protect against all enemies both foreign and domestic. That actually means something to us.

[@ambessashield9360]

Respect.

[@faraichirimuuta3748]

Best thing ive seen all week

[@mikalrain]

"When they swore to protect against all enemies, foreign and domestic, they meant it." - Michael A. Wood Jr.

[@Tan87ful]

mikal_ Love this quote. :)

[@Camietoo]

Michael is the best guest TYT has ever had.

[@Original_Tenshi_Chan]

along with Lee Camp.. oh man he's awesome

[@Camietoo]

Tenshi Chan Yeah, I am addicted to Lee Camp. If you haven't already seen them, The Jimmy Dore Show KZbin channel has some amazing interviews with Michael, some going back months ago that are really worth watching.

[@lookslikemeatsbackonthemen7030]

Thank You Tulsi and Veterans for heading to Standing Rock

[@christsuke873]

yes !

[@tonitommasi9688]

OOHRAH! Go Army Veterans. Wish i was there.

[@tonitommasi9688]

White on White Crime and you probably didn't serve My sister another vet went and I just went thru surgery. Get your facts before posting next time.

[@lovesallweneed]

The paradigm has changed. Bravo guys and huge respect for Michael A. Wood, Jr. You are a brother unto humanity. As an elder from the Middle East, I salute you. The Earth deserves our respect. Peace brother.

[@oodoodanoo2346]

This is great stuff. Thank you for CONTINUING to serve your country.

[@silentdeath9237]

This veteran said it all from veteran to veteran thank you for your service

[@navirose9133]

Pleased to see Lee Camp sharing this platform.

[@marineforlifemclean850]

I am proud of these veterans! They stand up to tyranny everywhere they see it. Thank you brothers!

[@silverarrow2353]

Funny how the major news networks are now going to Standing Rock...now that our American Veterans are involved. My total respect for these Veterans!!!

[@mickdodge9778]

Yoish!

[@john84753]

I love Michael Wood. He's so well spoken and a wonderful person.

[@davidrohrbaugh7474]

All of the cops fighting the protesters should be charged with crimes against humanity. This is just sickening.

[@ryanwalsh5019]

Cops are often just puppets of the few: aka they don't act this way, they lose their job

[@ryanwalsh5019]

Clint, you realize getting a decent paying job is more difficult than you think, right?

[@edstar83]

The veterans will fix them.

[@Jvljvljvl]

Thank you vets for joining with us to protect the land and the peaceful protectors of this worthy cause. It's an uphill battle to justify the value of preserving our water and land when greedy corporations try to suppress it through lack of media attention and military tactics. This is something worth fighting for and my heart swells with pride.

[@hunterarmstrong3063]

Love Lee Camp being on TYT this is awesome!

[@mocki5665]

Hey Lee! Great seeing you all together, prayers for everyone at Standing Rock and our hero Vets, stand strong!

[@leightonrose9278]

Fantastic

[@allardfreichmann3733]

Justice for all.

[@DJLawrence]

I'm glad to know that I managed to help in some way, I'm "stuck" here in Polan, far from my people feeling very impotent because I can't physically be there.

[@craigrobb8197]

jordan has done a hell of a job in ND. cenk really lucked out by hiring him and starting tyt politics

[@snakey973]

YOU GUYS ARE FKING AWESOME! TOTAL RESPECT U.S. VETERANS FOR DEFENDING AMERICA CITIZENS AGAINST THE CORPORATE GREED

[@susanb4816]

reminded me of the civil war when he talked about friends being on opposite sides. it is like the civil and indian wars have never really ended, and the battle could be re-engaged. really complicated, dangerous situation, but real opportunity, too to form strong alliance against injustice, finally. that is the new element here, united we stand, divided we fall. stand strong

[@gerishommajanja]

i am a vet i support whatever they feel is rite

[@ututheavenger]

So...do you support bombing other countries to kingdom come just because their president won't be Amerikkka's bitch?

[@williambernardo9906]

Its going to be very interesting to see how our veterans are treated by our government.. They better not retaliate against our veterans or they may see a wrath like they have never seen before. I believe its time for them to come up with another plan

[@CiviSgtButtercup]

It, unfortunately, is not that far fetched. Ever heard of the Bonus Army? If not, wiki it real quick.

[@cilginkosucu]

So glad you had Michael on your show! This is awesome.

[@elitorres1192]

Amen Michael. I am a former member of the U.S. Air Force and a big supporter of TYT, I agree when you say that we fight those foreign war's for interest of very selfish and cowardly people on our government; I already have been able to see the intentions of those in Washington D.C. and sadly some personnel in our military are to blind/ stubborn to see we are not working for the interest of American citizens, wish that co-workers knew they have the power to demand, instead of just hearing everywhere: "Well is the U.S government, they can do whatever the hell they want" or " Well we are America, and we need to show the world who is the boss". That only reminds me of that arrogance which was the main cause of the fall of many empires in our History. I swear to protect the American people interest and I will stand for what I believe, even if that means they do not consider me one of the heard, even if it cost me my Air Force career. After all, in the book " The Alchemist ", I do not want to be part of the herd, sheep only belong because they are complacent as long they get food and water. A Young Turk today, tomorrow, and future.

[@thesurrealjourneyman9177]

Semper Fi!!!

[@patb1732]

The police that are considering resigning shouldn't. They should cross the line in full uniform and stand with the protesters. Now that would send a message.

[@wowdragonsoul8712]

And it would end their careers.

[@tonirivers12345]

they would be resigning anyway

[@patb1732]

Exactly. If they're resigning, what's the difference?

[@EagleWoman777]

It might ruin their careers, but they would maintain their integrity, and their humanity. I am VERY proud of the officers, and support them 1,000% squared. I work with law enforcement via an auxiliary public safety agency.

[@Lovejones80inc]

Awesome !
