Sabaton never romanticise on war and battle. They tell the stories from the soldiers perspective. Which makes them unique. Thank you for your service.

[@binyominsilverman1592]

The thing most eye opening thing about the purple heart is that almost every purple heart was made for Operation Downfall, the potential invasion of Japan in WW2. So many were made for that single operation, that they haven't manufactured any purple hearts since 1945.

[@Maldas83]

Well, actually they had to make new one in recent years.

[@darkiee69]

"Fields of Verdun" next? The longest continuous battle in history. 303 days.

[@snakes3425]

I was going to say do the Last Battle or The Attack of the Dead Men

[@matiasalanko3443]

Voted for next! The official video is quite remarcarble =) o/

[@derthrongler]

Not true, there are hundreds more battles longer. Leningrad etc. Siege of sarajevo was 1,425 days and it was only 30 years ago.

[@rivahoukes1554]

This doesn't feel like some guys reacting to a song. This is some guys biting through a emotional bullet

[@brandnewrock8375]

How cool is it that a SWEDISH band 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 salutes fallen heroes of the US army and the rest of the world by that means??? Why didnt anybody else in your country even think of this before , salute your own heroes with a mindblowing tribute song like Sabaton did with this one.. i have no answer ! At least we have Sabaton that makes us all feel proud.. no matter nationality 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@damienmaynard8892]

and they take recommendations/ideas for songs too!

[@brandnewrock8375]

Damien Maynard Yeah.. its supercool 🤘

[@debbieepps7029]

Cause most of the musicians in this country agree with the socialist globalist left or they don't have the balls to stand up to this bullsh*t! Donald Trump = no more endless wars!!!!! Bringing a lot of our men and women home, FINALLY!!!!! VOTE IN PERSON IF YOU CAN!!!!! Oh and most can't compete with Sabaton, especially with their music and substance......

[@MaskinJunior]

I have an answer, Sweden is in a post Empire era. We gain the wisdom of what the cost of war is during Carolus Rex reign, and because of it we know the sacrifice soldiers do, and also condemn when it is done for pointless causes.

[@houseslippers7732]

Til the last shots fired, Arlington, Mr red white and blue, Wrong side of heaven, Gone away, Airborne ranger infantry, Everybody cries. They're out there man they just don't get played on the radio and little recognition.

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

Keep speaking the truth brothers, people need to hear those words.

[@jonno55]

Very moving react guys on a fantastic song paying tribute to soldiers. I regularly visit a military cemetery in my country, the Netherlands (Margraten American War Cemetery). Its a cemetery of WWII, some 8.000 fallen are burried there. It is possible to adopt a grave and pay tribute to the soldier. My grandfather adopted a grave in '52 en I took over many years ago. Once a month, on and on Holidays (Easter, Christmas) and espacially Memorial Day I pay a visit and thank him and all the others who gave their lives to free the world of fascist evil.

[@davidhenriksson285]

Very cool! Actually that's amazing!

[@HoodScents]

I am Swedish, and Sabaton is Swedish, we should thank America for keeping the world safe. You guys don't only war for your country, you guys keeping the world as it should be, in peace and harmony, you have to see that!

[@v3tReacts]

It is hard to recognize sometimes as a soldier.

[@vampyrictemptations7937]

Thankyou for your service

[@v3tReacts]

Twas an Honor!

[@johnekare8376]

What a reaction guys! I can see the pain it brings back in both of you. It's visceral and it saddens me to see. As much as it stirs up emotions in me I know it must only be a fraction of what you guys are experiencing. So thank you for sharing and I really hope you are doing alright!

[@v3tReacts]

We are all good and about spreading awareness. Thanks for watching.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Damn, guys...the onion ninjas are hitting hard already. I didnt know that two of you are Purple Heart recipients. If I havent said it already, thank you both for your service. I cant imagine doing your job and coming under fire, or being in a convoy, and getting injured. You guys deserve your recognition -- moreso the guys who went over, and didn't come home. Semper fidelis. F (' ')7

[@WickedWarrior]

Thank you

[@bigugly7431]

One of my good friends calls his purple heart, the he got caught slipping medal

[@bigugly7431]

Not just dark, but the sheer absence of light.

[@frankjuggaloheathen1035]

I saw this quote on Facebook, and I will repeat it here: "Those who disrespect the flag have never been handed one."

[@devinmorse3607]

I remember being on the Honor Guard for my region (Oklahoma/Arkansas). Every service is hard. We focus on practicing, but when it is our time to present, the air changes. The hardest thing is watching the flag presented to the family. “On behalf of the President of the United States, the United States (insert branch), and a grateful Nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your loved one's honorable and faithful service.”

[@williamfricke4464]

When I was in high school, the history teacher had military veterans come in to class and tell us stories. They made sure we knew what they did and what it meant to them. WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. This was before and during the first Desert Storm attacks. I do thank any and all veterans for their service. I know the price they paid because I lost family in Vietnam. Love you guys and thank you for all you have done and do!

[@patrickmcneilly4293]

I haven’t heard or seen a military funeral final call, but I’ve seen two funerals for the fire department where they did the final call out. Trying to raise them, no one answers, and after a small speech by dispatch, the ear piercing wail of the fire siren to send them off. A sight and feeling that I’ll never forget.

[@v3tReacts]

The thought of a tradition so Honorable!! 💯💯

[@tinachandler3091]

Thank you for everything. I could see how hard this song was for you. So many have come back with invisible wounds that there is no training for. It angers me every time I see that come over a vet. I'm not mad at you vets, because I am a vets daughter, but at the whole dam situation. The politics of it all. I can understand why but the f politics. I see that shadow haunting the eyes I do my poor best to help. Most of them say its a simple warm hug that helps, a talk or even a cup of bad coffee.

[@v3tReacts]

💪😎🤘💪💯💯💯💯 WELL SAID!!!

[@erika_itsumi5141]

My Grandfather got that award after him and his pilot were shot down in Vietnam, he just passed away last christmas eve morning, 68 years old , he was my best friend, my idol, he was the father I didn't have growing up, he was what inspired me to want to join the military. i never did do to my own personal mental health issues, but I have nothing but respect for you guys and all that you do and have done, and i mean that with every fiber of my being. I respect you, all branches of the armed forces, law enforcement and most of all I love this entire fucking Country! God Bless You and God Bless the United States of America. o7

[@jonsmith854]

How can anyone dislike this video? I chose like. I love the military their honor and sacrifice for us is unmeasurable. I felt the energy listening to this. I felt the adrenaline. Can't wait for the next video!

[@gonace]

I'm Swedish and I've been to both Arlington National Cemetery and Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial and you can trulty feel something else at these places, not just these two. It's hard to me to understand that anyone could not honer the fallen, they are not the deciders of war nor policies, they are the fallen for everyones right to be as they are.

[@pokergud]

12:52.THANK YOU!!!!new sub from Sweden here.keep up the great work!

[@v3tReacts]

Welcome!

[@firemonster3603]

Theirs a huge cemetery for the military down in Illinois I don’t remember where it is but I went there with my grandma once I agree with you you feel something there my great grandparents both daughters in WW2 and I have a cousin in the Navy god bless these poor souls who died in the line of duty to protect our country you will always be remembered

[@kittmixwarcat276]

love your videos and service too 😄

[@timothylund6191]

You need to review To Hell and Back about PTSD and Audie Murphy but be for warned it is also a powerful video. Sabaton is a masters of this

[@Boomstickfan495]

You all should do "Attack of the Dead Men" by Sabaton, but do the Piscator lyric video, as he adds clips from really good movies during the solos to give a little more justice to the event the song is about, because the Official sabaton lyric video just has generic images layered behind moving text. While the lyrics in the Piscator video aren't as animated, they are really good for reading the lyrics, then being entertained even more during the solos, here's the link to his video on the song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4KXoKmYlJt3jqM

[@crushcommando8637]

So we just gonna forget it was also a VETERAN who told them to kneel? Ok? Cool.

[@v3tReacts]

🤘🎄🎄🤘

[@paulmartineau6235]

Checkout Sabaton History they have a eposiod on the history of the purple heart.

[@RavaalekDreamblade]

This was a great reaction, for the common man to see what all this means to those who went through extraordinary things.. thanks again fellas.

[@v3tReacts]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@christinaalgate4899]

Thank you guys

[@lordwarwolf9060]

this song honestly brings me to tears every time i hear it , reminds me of my grandpa who passed away recently he served on a us aircraft carrier during veitnam , this just hits hard every time i hear it remember the fallen , may they rest in peace and may their sacrifice be remembered

[@franciscoguinledebarros4429]

No sane person criticizes war as in the soldiers, those are Brave Pawns on a Wicked Chess, judge the game not the player

[@supersasukemaniac]

I can't even imagine what you guys went through in OIF /OEF but thank you for your service. you are the men who endured the endless dark, and came back.

[@Pih_TV]

I've done two tours in Afghanistan, not with the US army but holy crap.... I get so many flashback from those open fields, trenches and dirt walls in Helmand and also the mountains of Balkh. I fought side by side with US soldiers and I salute you, you were great colleagues.

[@v3tReacts]

Salute back 🤘🤘

[@michaelford9027]

that was breathtaking,brutal and powerful,me grampa,who served in the US Navy in ww1,after he moved to nova scotia,july 1 was CANADA DAY,July 4th we raised ole glory while gramps played the bagpipes,i still weep with pride at the tought of how much that meant to us both....

You should add what is price of mile and balad of bull which is different kind of sabaton song if you haven't yet

[@PetterVessel]

Suggestion : Sabaton - The price of a mile. WW1 , Battle of Passchendaele. A campain that cost over 500.000 lives

[@Sannoz]

Thanks for another reaction

[@ScarriorIII]

You want a few more songs like this? Try Running Wild- Waterloo, Little Big Horn, or Hussar.

Fkn hell. Got some moisture in my eyes 7:40

[@damienmaynard8892]

The shooting up at the mountains - Afghanistan was always like that from the Colonial British to the Russians to you guys - and the Aussies. Hard to watch.

[@moonmanstan]

Please do attack of the dead men if you haven't already

[@heycunt7186]

You ain't seen Bismarck and Ghost Division yet, go check them out

[@NegiTaiMetal011]

Very true guys. I thank and salute US military for their service and sacrifice. I'm no American, yet it frustrates me of how those NFL people tend to be disrespectful. They seem to have forgotten about their service and sacrifice so others can have their peace and freedom. Freedom of which, I think, has been taken for granted a lot. Keep on reacting to Sabaton. And thank you guys for your service. Salute to you.

12:46 That might be a stupid question, but can someone please explain to me what the problem was? Is it the woman who is holding the flag and is putting a rose on the coffin (and if it's her then why?) or is it someone/something else? (What am I missing that provoked them this much?)

[@xJamesLaughx]

It had nothing to do with the lady and had nothing to do with why they got provoked. The rant after was aimed at the NFL players who refused to stand for the national Anthem and in doing so disrespect the country and flag those men and women gave their lives for so they could have the rights they hold so dear.

[@derthrongler]

@@xJamesLaughx if im not an american, i see no reason to stand. especially not if you are from one of the countries america has invaded for oil.

[@Kez_DXX]

I have a purple heart... but no name to go with it. Was the guy that served with the 56th Air Defense Artillery Regiment the same guy that wiukd get the 113th Cavalry Regiment pin? No fucking clue. I can only speculate and that pisses me off. European - African - Middle Eastern Campaign Medal Ribbon, American Defense Service Medal ribbon, and the very faded Good Conduct Medal ribbon. I think the ribbons, the medals and the 56th and 113th pins belonged to the same person... But since I have no name to go with it, I can only speculate.

[@STGCHAOS907]

My buddy Serge Lekanof joined army in 2010 served a few years but the mental trama was too much.

[@darkiee69]

The constitution you fought to protect give people the right to kneel. If you don't acknowledge that the sacrifice was for nothing else but a red hat with a slogan and a totalitarian regime. Back2school, you should have a look at Beau of the fifth column, he was a US operator. He'll really take you to school.

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

People do have the Right to kneal on the flag and say whatever stupid disrespectful bullshite they want about America, just as we have the Right to critisise them and call them foolish idiots for their stupid entitled Ideology and opinions. God Bless America. ^.-.^

[@WickedWarrior]

We are talking about the millionaires that benefit from the freedoms and seem to disrespect the country that made it possible lmao 😂 you have the right to your opinion but so do we! We also have a right to our opinions! Your opinion is not end all be all and neither is the opinions of washed up cry baby athletes! God bless you and yours!

[@skyshatter3633]

watching 30 sec pause and speaks about the video ... you were supposed to react to the song aren`t you??????

[@v3tReacts]

yep which I pause to react to the video and song. Thanks for noticing.

[@Maldas83]

May I ask a serious (honest) question? Why do you feel disrespected, by kneeling athlets? It´s not like they would say: "I knee because I don´t honor the sacrifices others made for this country." As I understand it, they say something like: "I knee because I want everybody to know, that I think there is something not quite allright in this country" * That doesn´t take anything away from you! They are not insulting or disrespecting anybody. I´m not american. So maybe I don´t get the full picture.. Therefore, I´d really apriciate it, if you could explain!

[@FBIAGENT725]

It's that people died to keep the flag flying but people kneel on it instead, which doesn't seem like a big deal but to most people it's saying that the person kneeling doesn't care about the sacrifice

[@thefolder69]

the anti American sentiment is often justified. We thank the Armed Forces for their sacrifices for our country, but it doesn't mean that our country is perfect. I respect all of our WW2 vets, doesn't change the fact that in those times black people were forced to drink from separate water fountains... There are many problems with America right now, and we should be free to voice our opinions, because that freedom is what keeps America what it is. It isn't disrespecting the brave men fighting overseas.

[@Maldas83]

Please exclude the guy in the middle! He doesn´t know what he´s talking about, and he annoys me. It is his right to have his political views, (which are clearly not mine) but I don´t want to hear about them. Please live up to the title, and make this two veterans listening/reacting to Sabaton.

[@derthrongler]

niiice disrespecting vet's friends, that will get you somewhere
