@@arshbhardwaj335 What do you mean? Ain't nobody in this comment section got a plan that they'll actually carry out to help. The only plan anyone in RU-vid comments is to forget what bs they posted in their comment and go eat more Cheetos.
Idk when this interview was taken Idk if this champion of a man was alive long enough to enough to see woke culture... It may have been a good thing if he didn't though
@@Bee-tj8gc he died not even a year ago and he recorded the video I believe 2021 or 2022. Rest in peace great hero thanks for your service and sacrifices, God bless you.
If this gentleman knew how many people would hear his words, he’d be shocked. If just 1% of those people go out with the goal to make a difference, he will be proud.
@@aurendessdon’t worry “BOY!” Because us “MEN” will do just that. You stay your ass at home. There will be no “COWARDS” standing in the end. Nor any sitting in their gaming chairs either!! 🇺🇸💯🫵🏻
@@sadikmeah4057that the country we live in is fucked? The country that is full of woke ideology ? The country that they teach homosexuality, masturbation, sexology, and same sex sexual orientations to a 12 year old kid? The country that censors anything and anyone who it doesn’t like? The country that takes the tax payers money to pay for sex changes? The country that is making everyone hate white people but love black people which is bias asf and the list goes on brain dead 🤡
They fought and died. They came home to a robust economy, A GI BILL THAT MATTERED and a robust middle class He's lived long enough to see corporate greed and the super rich decimate that quality of life.
Idk man we definitely have problems but I think it's pretty clear that we live much better lives atleast materially now than we did then. There's arguments to be made about social stuff for sure or wealth accumulation but man idk I really think the world is just getting better all the time. There's highs and lows for sure but the trend is going up around the world people live longer and have more. That's not everything but it's alot.
@@ChronicUnderachiever420 totally agree like i said there's some social issues and wealth accumulation issues but overall I think life just keeps getting better
@@FuckingboredrnPersonally, I think the society, economy and government keeps getting worse here!! I totally agree with the great veteran’s sentiments!!
@@rubon9584 Everything sure is right! Mens are now wearing a dress shamelessly, Majority of America has became pathetic pussies, and now children’s are losing themselves from terrible influences, there’s definitely nothing wrong with this world!
I had a great life and so have many others. From George Washington on and until today. Thank you!! It wasn’t for nothing. The upcoming generation wants communism and I think they will succeed after we are all gone. We old people can only hold the line for so long. They are too infantile to have freedom anyway, so it might be for the best. No more riots, burning police stations, disrespecting your teachers, theft, litter, graffiti, destroying public property, homelessness, or drug addiction (no drugs at all). It’s too bad they can’t behave themselves. A dictatorship and strict military law, camps or death, if you disobey, etc. It’s what they want. I won’t feel sorry for them.
I'm 41, fought in Iraq, that's not what I fought for. Our sacrifices are pointless. I don't have a good country to raise my children in. I have to warn and teach them about all this craziness. I feel his pain deeply.
If you fought in Iraq…then you fought for money / a job. The entire Iraq invasion was pointless. There was nothing virtuous about it. Let’s be real. Whether it was 1916…or 2002: The wars, the killing, the dying, the pride, the shame…. It was all in vain. Every single last bit of it.
@@sendthis9480 my brother is a retired drill Sgt. and let me tell you they died for what they hold dear at home. the things you take for granted. So yes the evil ones in govt lie about the cause of wars but no.... Not one of our armed forces died in vein. GOD Country and Family
As a Gen Z, Whenever I see a veteran, I shake his or her hand and say “Thank you for your service” I’m very disappointed in the way our world has become, and don’t realize why they even came into existence.
As a Gen Z who has since enlisted in the Marines, and wears the same dress blues as this late Sgt, I can tell you that the burden of responsibility of defending our core values as a nation is all the more stressful. Especially considering most of my peers wouldn't give a rat's ass about what me and my brothers and superiors are doing to keep our communities and our families (all of which we've left behind to serve) safe against our adversaries foreign and domestic. Well, I hope they all sleep peacefully tonight as they enjoy their parents and their siblings, and go to their friends homes and drive around their nice neighborhoods and go to Church every Sunday. All of those things are privileges that me and my fellow servicemen have given up... and work everyday to defend while away from home. I'm happy that at least there are some in my generation who still give a damn about the men who I am now humbled to say I walk beside in this hallowed service. For our Nation. For each other. For us all.
Agreed. These wars are always about money. As if the greedy politicians and and greedy elite don’t have enough. Any conflicts should be decided by our politicians against theirs. Let’s see how many wars the cowards start then.
That should be the new definition of the "American Dream"! I don't know about Americans today, but my motto remains the same; "In God We Trust"_ or not! Psalm 9:17_ 37: 1-37_ Isaiah 61:1-2_ Selah
As son of a WWII vet and vet myself, I have to say he's absolutely right. This was heartbreaking, and I'm glad my father isn't here to see where the country he fought for, and served for over 40 years is today...
Smae story here bro, me and my Pops, both combat vets. Every day that passes, my heart breaks, knowing that his golden years are being spent watching all of his sacrifices get thrown to the side.
Should I even serve myself after highschool? I mean if my peers are the people that I’d be fighting for what even would the point be? I want to serve and I want to make a difference. But the reality that I see is one where I’d be ridiculed and persecuted for violence rather than thanked and loved for protecting the very land that they live on. Idk man. Life has a way of working things out. But at what cost yk?
@@derek410 I'd just have to say that what's important to you and what you believe in is what matters. And if serving in the military is on your list, than do it. There's no more exclusive, and proud group than those that have. They're a cut above the rest, regardless of what the colored hair college crowd might say... You might disagree with what people say and do, but defending their right to do so, well ... That's a special person. Btw .. my daughter just joined the Navy recently...
Unless we do something about it. We still have time to change things, I just think it’s time the people start taking some of the matters into their own hands. The corruption runs deep in the federal and even some of these state run governments
General Patton tried to worn us that we fought the wrong people but he "died in a single person wreck". Yeah, right. Patton was taken out, cause he realized who was really controlling things.
People feel desperate. We know that the democrat won’t stop at nothing to stay in power. Today Rand Paul said that the government send more than 1 million check to people that was already dead, same thing in 2020! I hope that they will investigate and see what they did with those cheeks, right? Dead people can’t cashed checks. The Democrat are with the WEF and the mission is the destroy the economy for the great reset, they are so close to their goals “Klaus Schwab is 85 years old “ he wants to see that happens before he dies “Unless people fight the voting systems there’s no hope.
I was born in 1987 and sadly I feel the same way it saddens me that children growing up in this country won’t have the same childhood and country to grow up in as I did, we never really thought about race nor did we compete to see who was the most disenfranchised but now days that’s all kids think about and do it’s all about race and who’s the bigger make believe victim.
Just to many power hungry people ..the more they want it the more corrupt they get..Biden thinks he and his kid are untouchable...wouldnt bet my life on that
not our fault he fought pointless wars on behalf of rich colonists. in his time, "black" people were still being forced to go to different schools and use different drinking fountains. wake up.
My dad is 85 years old and he feels the same way that this gentleman does and they are both 100% right...... Something has got to be done to get these evil people out of the government.
Sad part is we've always had evil in our government since the beginning. When we built this country with murder slavery corruption these sins just don't go away they stay with generation after generation unless we truly repent specially our government. Thats why people never trust the government and its officials.
My Dad fought in Vietnam, he just turned 19, he was just a kid! He almost died, his best friend went missing they couldn't find him, so they got some men together to look for him, but they had to be very careful! My Dad was walking through water, and something was stuck on his leg, he reached down only to find his dead friend, he pulled him out of the water and carried him back to there encampment, so he could be sent 🇺🇲home to his family ❗🙏💜✨If we had a war today would it be the same outcome, or would America fall from all those unwilling to fight❓🙄
Oh but it doesn’t for the idiots that are ruining this country. They are happy things are going south, because they are on a new level of self righteous stupidity and are proud of it.
We are so ungrateful as a country. The last truly necessary war was WW2. The men that fought and died in that war deserve our gratitude. We are forever in their debt
@robinfarrar3493 you can't fight a war against terrorism. It's like trying to fight a war on drugs. They used 9/11 as an excuse to try and rearrange the middle east. So no, no it wasn't necessary in the way it played out.
@@Youboremenow that man fought so your dumbass can have the freedom to sit in your home right now. Typing stupid comments on RU-vid at 6 am. You could be in a 3rd world country right now with flies landing on your face and eyes all night. No water to drink and no food to eat.
newsflash all old people hate change and wish life is the same as it was when they were growing up. not only is this retarded as shit, its also unrealistic. id be concerned if my society didnt progress at ALL in my lifetime.
@@blastazoidgaming9144 veterans like him didn't die for our country so the rich could get richer and for our freedoms to be taken away by the whiny snowbirds that can't handle being offended they died protecting our constitutional rights maybe you need to wake up and see our country isn't progressing at all but falling into a deep dark hole gas prices are up groceries are up it takes more than one income to afford a house homeless veterans is still a problem so tell me what fuckin progress are you talking about I wanna know
I feel for that guy because he's right. All those guys died and suffered to make things better here in America and this is the thanks they get. Pretty messed up
I don’t think he is speaking to a particular party or group. He is speaking to us all as a whole. This culture war that has been ignited, it makes everyone hate each other. From both parties. We can all do better. Love all my brothers and sisters on this earth❤
@@battleborn8658 bro have some respect. He fought for his country. And he is disappointed from todays generation. If you don't accept it then don't comment.
@@Hoi4ModGameplaylol. First relax, second you don’t know either people, and no I haven’t seen anyone 100 or older smoke weed… but what does he think this country should be like?
I 2nd that bless the veterans of this country there’s a reason there’s RED Ribbons running through our flag when blood is shed for freedom it runs crimson , I’am PROUD to Be A Veteran! they don’t know they just don’t
This man and his friends served, and a lot of them, sacrifice their lives, so that we could be free, and that our country could continue strong, but the government chooses to completely disrespect. These noble men by completely screwing our country, and I’m not taking the blame off people either because we all need to get along better, and start fighting for something good again
@gjaegreag You really think that the generations of WW2 faced the same upbringings, had the same opinions and mentalities, and the same problems of today? You don’t think that social media and the internet as a whole has changed or degraded our new generations’ attention spans or thought processes? Because I agree with the age old phrase, “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.” There’s no question that this generation had a comfier, more catered, and less challenging upbringing with a more pampered childhood. That’s the result of having such a good country that those men who died in WW2 to protect. Had they not done so, Germany probably would have won and we would be living in a much shittier environment. But that’s neither here nor there, my point of my comment was to appreciate and respect those who sacrificed everything so we could have something, and especially those who survived that hell just to see people get fat off the fruits of their sacrifice, become lazy and entitled, and demand capitalism be dismantled. To demand banning of free speech, to demand the socialist state which allowed such a horrendous war to be able to start in the first place. You’re valid in your opinion but I just have to disagree my friend
@@Ghost77731 What do you degrade from mankind? Mattew 15 That Which Defiles 15 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!” 3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a] and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b] 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8 “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’[c]” 10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.” 12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?” 13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides.[d] If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” 15 Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.” 16 “Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts-murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
You can see the sorrow in his eyes as he talks about the once’s that’s died. This man saw his friends and good men die. Thank you for your bravery sir. God bless you
This worthless GenZ has no idea what it means to sacrifice for others ! They stand for nothing and will forever be known as the generation that just stood by and allowed / watched their country be destroyed from enemies within ! Hope they live long enough for that thought to sink in to their empty brain and hearts !
He wasn’t brave he was ignorant and just doing what he was told like a good war dog. Now he realizes we fought the wrong enemy and all his friends died for nothing. It’s heartbreaking.
@@nickfranklin717 Please do explain how the axis powers were the wrong enemies and how by defeating fascism that killed millions of innocent people, they died for nothing. I would absolutely love to hear you explain your logic.
God bless his precious soul. We would not have the country we have without heroes like this brave man. God bless him and all our heroes for their service 🙏♥️🙏
Do you know what they used to do in the Korean War they used to stack Koreans and make walls out of their bodies do you think that makes us eligible to be blessed as a country? All for what?
@@tomjones4318 what the military personnel did in all these wars is satanic how do you not see that? This country is ran by Satan this world is ran by Satan we live in Satan's world! Satan is the God of this world. Everything we do on a daily basis is to serve Satan whether you want to admit it or not just look at organized religion just look at our system in general none of us are innocent of these acts this is where we are and this is what we do.
There’s no blame to be placed ! Only sorrow for what this veteran is seeing take place now ! We should all apologize to him for letting things become what they have ! We are all guilty and if this doesn’t make you want to do something about it, nothing will !
Nobody does. We should all be blaming the young guy for using the tears and the sacrifice to push his own political agenda. That's the problem, media like Benny pushing divisive politics to aid their own agenda. Pointing at "the marxists" rather than acknowledging both sides have issues is part of the problem. That Marxists quote was a cheap shot. And in the last few decades, the vast majority of terror attacks in America have been carried out by right wing white nationalists with guns, so if your argument is "well we have to start with one group" then Marxists make no logical sense being the group with which to start. But even then, why only start with one group. Let's let the right actually fix there extreme and the left fix theirs and maybe, just maybe, we won't have American heroes crying about how it was aught for zero
Why? They won WWII, then immediately started The Cold War. When he was around 50, and many others, they got rid of The Gold Standard. Felt like heroes in WWII, and lived the easy life. A time where you could start work and retire from the same company. No real worries in The US. And their kids, The Baby Boomers, lived most of their lives with little problems, or planning on things like The SSA program possibly running out of money to pay retirees. At least they had some great times with very little to lose. That all falls on the generations coming up today, and their children in the future. A very sad thing that's allowed to happen unchecked for years, until it's to late.
@@timturk1899 No, they didnt complain about their lives!! They worked hard and sacrificed to own homes. Going out to eat was rare because their mortgage was more important. They didnt buy $10 coffees 3 times a day. People like you always point the finger but never take responsibility. And people like you will never amount to anything. This man is special and you can see the love for his country all over his face. Grow up and join the adults out here!!
I'm so sorry for your families loss. Thank you for your time as well, because it's not just the individual in the military that sacrifices, it's their family too. 💛
Yeah i know! We don't have to go to the back door to get food! , we don't have to use a different water fountain!!! I'm guessing ww2 vet!!! No more lynching either!!!
@@kingstoneyblanco9925 Now its that way for an ever greater number. Marginalized groups got it slightly better while other groups fell hard. Wasn't the goal that everyone would have it better today?
@@raverave12d62 it is IN NO WAY like that for ANY MARGINALIZED group other than the group of people who were being strung up as STRANGE FRUIT in this crying mans so called "FUN TIMES".
I'm so sorry you had to see this nightmare take place. I had a conversation with my granddaddy at the grave, it went a little something like this. "Hey grandpa, I really miss you, but at the same point I'm glad you're not here to see what is happening to this country your generation fought so hard to protect. This world has gone to shit."
I feel the same way.all the bloodshed,loss of life,and distruction,it's all in vain now.because the communist have been working with this goverment to distroy this nation.makesme sick at my atomic to recall,and have to watch.disgustinfg what they are doing to this nation. Just a disgrace!!!
Same here. My dad fought in WWII, was in the Anzio Invasion of 1944. He saw a lot of things we can't imagine. He passed away in 2003, wish I'd asked a lot more questions about what he grew up with.
Little does he know he helped usher it all in by going to war. The meat grinder disposed of ppl that would've said NO to the sanitization of education, post ww2. Go ahead and read any book pre ww2 you'll see they've been dumbing us down for awhile.
No shit. Lots of shit happens in 100 years. That's called time and progress. Shit doesn't just stay the same. That's stagnation, that's rot. It is upsetting that this old guy got turned into a political puppet. Just another sound byte to abuse.
lol heart breaking? ha please he went to murder for lies. this government is terrible and all the fighters caused the world to hate us. America playing the world police when the world was just fine. jews and whites never stop trying to conquer the world. fk these fake peace lovers
Don’t let this man have died in vain. Take this as his last will, and testament. Use it to grow a spine and go out and change the world for the better. If everyone just “ love your neighbor as yourself “ this man would have died happy. Don’t believe me spend the next six months, treating your neighbor as yourself and watch it grow. Love is more contagious than hate
It seems like a lot of people here have proven this man’s point. People fighting about the past, what true and not true, and What’s right and wrong. But if the world just stopped and took a moment to think there wouldn’t have to be a right person and wrong person, just good people.
Me and mine cry with you, sir. I’m reminded of a Memorial Day special watched with a daughter. When they showed Normandy with dozens of bodies wallowing in the surf it reminded me of what a fellow vet said, “They gave away ALL of their tomorrows that we could have our todays. “
That is a real American,a real man,and the men who lived,and died by his side,that is a real American,God bless him,and his brothers,who died for are freedom,and others freedom we fight for,
People think this is fixable by a new Administration. They are sadly mistaken. Our country is never going to get any better than it is right now. Meaning, things are just going to get worse. All we can do is slow down the descent into France.
@@Glum1964 I disagree, more people are becoming aware of manipulation then theres been in history. We are just seeing the "beginning" of people being able to do something about it and people actually doing something about it.
@@indigomarine91 I thought along those lines, right up to the 2022 midterms. Listen, I try to watch CNN and MSNBC, and I try to be a moderate in Social Issues. But all I was seeing was a GIANT RED WAVE. But it didn’t arrive. Now I realize the only people watching any tv anymore are over 40, and I just never frequent sites that younger folks use, so I’ve estimated I missed about 2/3 of the population in my Red Wave hopes. And it’s been readily apparent that much of the younger folks do not care about America’s Constitution, Valley Forge, Gettysburg, D-Day…. ANYTHING prior to 1965 (Except for that 1/3 who have been raised right, and fight and sacrifice for our freedoms). They want Socialism, and if that’s what the majority want, that’s what they’ll have. It makes me sad. One day in the next 25 years, Americans will wake up and realize we have become Venezuela. People think somehow the system is insulated and fail-proof. They are so wrong. Everything that’s happening is happening fresh. There are no insurance policies on our Republic. But I really hope you’re right.
LAST DECENT DECADE WAS THE 90S. Since then the globalists have been interfering for the dark one. They have literally sold their souls. 9/11? they did that, with the help of our own grubment. That was the sign to the rest of the worlds globalists. ITS ON, AND IT STARTS NOW!!! We are so screwed unless we stand together..., and as one we say NO MORE, NO MORE, NO MORE. 10 DEMONS CANNOT CONTROL US ALL, IF WE SAY, NO MORE, AND WE MEAN IT... THAT DAY, IT ENDS. PLEASE PASS IT ON!
My grandfather fought in WWII I don't know what he would do if he was still alive. He was pissed in the 80s and 90s and you are right so much has changed since then
You're correct it's a big difference I joined the military in 1985, I got out in 1992 and I came back in in 2009 and it's definitely not the same. Soldiers are less disciplined and no respect no Drive no nothing not all of them but a lot of them. And very disrespectful.
The youth of today are crazy.. They know nothing of what this country is about, what we fought for.. They are ungrateful bastards.. They are just out of their minds.. They should be proud of our veterans.. my heart goes out for that old vet..
Jesus Christ this tore me up. Nothing makes me so sad than to see a man who's sacrificed so much for us in such emotional pain. His heart should not be this burdened.
Don't take the Lord's name in vain. That would be a good place too start changing things. Because that's exactly the type of behavior this man is talking about.
How is he right Kelly? What was so good about America back then? Was it the Japanese American internment camps in World War II? Was it the civil rights violations of Black Americans and people of color? Or was it the reduced job opportunities for women?
@@daggerlossyou asked how is he right well he said it was all for NOTHING because our government is full of criminals and don’t forget about how we didn’t hold Nazis accountable but instead our government placed them in our government and medical and to society!!!!

I don't know how many times I've heard "the enemies within the gates" we have enemies foreign and domestic, and we owe it to this generation to fix this.
As a veteran I’m 100% behind his words. This is not the America I fought for. This generation is very soft. We could get invaded and they would allow in the name of diversity and wokeness. Like Cuba.
@@marianmurphy4625 I was 17 when I joined the Marine Corps, I was to go to Vietnam, but they said the war was coming to an end, this was April 1974. So yes very possible most of the men going to fight were under 20.
People get so caught up in the hustle of life that they forget the countless hero's who gave up everything so that they could live life today. Rest in Peace to every soldier of every nation who went out with good intentions and didn't make it back home. There's no better death to be had than with a heart filled with love and a mind focused on protecting it. 🙏
He shouldn’t be crying. He was lucky enough to witness the prosperity this country experienced after the war. Fortunately for him, he doesn’t have to see much of this hellhole we have now
I've seen my dad cry over his buddys who didnt.make it back !! These politicians have never had to fight for this nation !! They've never sacrificed for for anything !! They have become stinking rich sitting on their asses
Not all of us forgot what you sacrificed for us and they're still people that appreciate it. My father's 93 and he feels the same as this hero. It's time for us to fight for them.
70% of Americans who lived when he was young didn't have the rights and opportunities he had then. Its annoying these ppl never articulate WHAT is different then conpared to now. THAT part I'd love to hear
Yep! This, bare minimum, 'white supremacist shill', Benny Johnson, this young version of David Duke, hates every soldier who fought for, especially those who fought & died for, America. It's funny, in a way, that Benny Johnson would use this old guy as a _'prop';_ it proves just how sick, evil & depraved he truly is!
This is heartbreaking on every level! Americans need to wake up. I have watched this video before you shared it. This man was there and lived it ..people need to respect him and listen to him 100% 🇺🇸❤
Lol so when we were a Marxist Country again? Oh yeah we have never been a socialist nation. In fact you may have heard of the Mccarthy era? Not that long ago people literally went to jail for even being suspected of being a socialist, so makes you wonder why we have the problems we do when this country has always operated under laissez-faire capitalism. Hmmm maybe it's actually the fault of our corrupt "democratic" capitalist government and not some ridiculous scapegoat called Marxism that has never even happened in this country.
The veteran is right that his country is going to hell in a handbasket. Neither him nor his friends fought so that America could become what it currently is. If only he had known that the people on the other side of the war were trying to prevent this very thing from happening.
"This country's going to Hell in a hand basket" My mother (92) always said the same thing. I didn't know what she meant by that until recently. Having multiple family members who served in different wars and many who died for this country I want to tell you Sir that you are a true hero. Thank you ❤ ♥
