450 Marines Vs The Imperial Japanese Navy Wake Island 

Grandfather was a Marine Raider. He fought from 43 until 45. He arrived home in 46 and walked and hitch hiked from California to New Jersey - 2,742 miles. He wasn't fit to be around people according to family so he just slowly made his way across the country. We found out about him being in the Raiders from the obituary they posted - he never said he was with them. He refused to have anything Japanese made in the house. Good job on the video!

Japanese got their asses whooped both times and then the Marines were forced to surrender due to bad info. Awesome

I love your military videos. Especially WWII. 3 of my 4 grandparents were in the war. My maternal grandfather was a Naval Corpsman, " Doc".. made to take off their insign I a because they were the most targeted. My granddad fought on Guam, also time in Hawaii. My paternal grandfather was in the army in the European theater. My maternal grandma wanted to go overseas, but she worked at the Pentagon. She volunteered at 19. These stories and all their stories, photos, etc. Make me feel so close to them. Admire them more-if that was even possible, and blessed they came home! Love fat electrician!!!

I think you should do check out TFE's one on the Barbary Wars, the origin story to "Why you don't mess with America's boats"I think you would enjoy that one. Also TFE has said more than once that he enjoys reaction channels reacting to his stuff because he considers it a compliment that people consider him reaction worthy.

I worked in commercial Aviation for over 2 decades and many of those I'd worked with were former military. Lots of former Air Force, Navy and Marines. The saying is True, "Once a Marine, Always a Marine". They made for Gr8 Leads & Supervisors in most cases because they just won't be stopped and see problems as just another hurdle to jump. They solve problems better than any single group of people I've ever met, and they have a Gr8 sense of unity when it comes to taking care of their own.

To be fair......they kinda had no choice to leave wake island to fend for itself. Not saying I agree with it, or it was a good decision but if you look at it more in depth, After pearl harbor, none of our battleships were left undamaged and we had three cruisers and three destroyers that took damage, our carriers which we had 7 in service that being The Langley, Lexington, Saratoga, Ranger, Yorktown, Enterprise, and Wasp. The langley being the first carrier we ever had was not that good. Lexington and saratoga were cv-2 and cv-3 being the second and third carriers we made but like langley they were converted ships. Ranger was the first purpose built carrier we had. And then yorktown/enterprise/wasp were built using knowledge of the lexington classes and the ranger. Japan on the other hand still had most of their fleets intact plus 11 carriers, their biggest of which were bigger than the yorktown classes, and their pilots had much more experience than any american ones at the time. If the US had sent what fleet they had left to try to help wake, not only would it have put them in the position to be attacked and destroyed by overwhelming numbers, but it would have left the rest of the pacific unprotected. Plus the japanese were closer and had a head start. On the grand scale of it.....

TFE also has a few videos on the Korean war one about a horse another about a tree both are great stories

Love this guy!! One of my favorite videos by him is World War Tree.

That was a good video and like the way TFE tells stories. Please keep doing these videos and thank you for your service to. ❤

I was in the Navy first the Army. I was a Corpsman but I ended up on a ship.. I hated every minute of it. So I got out.. joined The Army got into the Airborne and deployed multiple times with them. Being on ship was like torture for me. Any sailors that love that stuff I have the utmost respect for.. not my thing

If nothing else, you should check k out his video of where the quack bang comes from. It's a great story about how to reset someone's oodleoop

As a former Marine RVN 70-71 I love your stories about Marines Thanks for making my day!!! SFMF !

Yamamoto said he could only guarantee 6 month of unopposed fight until the US got their shit together.. 6 month to the day later .. the battle of Midway happened making the Japanese lose their big carriers and their dominance of the pacific

You should check out Reckless The Horse from Fat Electrician. It's hilarious

Hey Soldier, I'm enjoying your content, I'm an old US Marine infantry squad leader. The fat electrician is a US Sailor I believe!

Can you do a video on 7 para rha

Not trying to defend the government, but they basically had to leave Wake. If they tried to reinforce Wake, it is likely the US Navy in the Pacific, would have been wiped out.

Why I always hear The story like 1 American soldier kill 100 Japan soldier alone It’s so weird . in Iwo Jima doesn’t US troops dead more than Japanese troops 🤔

You really need to check out his short form videos. They are what made him famous!
