Brits React to World War Tree - Operation Paul Bunyan 

Too close for missiles...

America is ALWAYS a second away from flipping our selector switch from "appropriate" to "proportional."

Not a vet, but ave known enough and can understand.

yup.. Was he a grunt?

Yeah, he has that air about him.

​@@Svensk7119, that's not air, he's fat . . .

​@@shannonotoole3526 iirc he was a medic in the national guard I might be wrong on that though

Shut up and go make your own channel then.

I never know whether to like this for your comment or, not do anything because of the content

​@@shannonotoole3526liking doesn't mean agreeing. Confirming you took in the information is a better way to look at it.

My foster dad was in the Koroean war in the 1950's in the brit army. He was in a mk5 centurion tank. His stories told me the Yanbk army was outnumbered 2 to 1 by the chinese and they ran. the brit army was outnumbered 20 to 1 and stood their ground and forced China into piece terms as nothing china had could take out the centurion tanks. The french were outnumbered 50 to 1 and did retreat till the saw the Brits standing and fighting so rallied and came back to suport thre Brits while the yanks justr kepty running and refused to take any further part in the war. the yanks started that war by invading North Koroa. China said they would stay out of it unles the yanks got to close to their border. so the yanks said ok lets get as close to China as we can as China is just bluffing they wont dare go to war with us. There doing it now by building up forces close to China to get China to react and mobilose its trops then the USA can say hey China is mobilsing their ready to start a war lets get in there 1st on a premptive strike. Isrteal does that al the time build up forces on the borders of their neighbours then when the other country reacts by mobol;sing it troops to defend it border Isreal says oh they r preparing to attack us lets attack them 1st. its called philibustering goad ur enemies into mobilsing to give u an excuse to attack them. or do a fals flag attack where 1 country will do a terrorist attack on its own ppl, and blame it on the country they want to go to war with. Like the Amercan Indian wars the govr paid setlers to set up homes in Indian land then cause trouble with the natives so the natives would retaliate to give the US army thr excuse to go in and attack the natives. USA has broken every treaty its ever made. they have threated NATO countries with being nuked if they refused to join US wars. George Bush speech said ur either with us or against us after 9/11.. basicly saying if none of the NATO countriews join their illgal war against Iraq they will be at war with the USA. coinsidering all the hijackers were Saudi not Iraqi why did they not atack Saudi instead. simple Sadam Hussian was fighting against ISIS and stopping them from taking over tyhe middle east and the USA wanted ISIS to invade other countries to give them an excuse to invade those countries. 9/11 was a revised operation northwood attack created by the CIA in 1961. the plan to hijack civi planes and crash them into cities in Florida and Blame it on Cuba. 7/7 London bombings was done by Isreal with the aid of the CIA. thats been proven but covered up. 9/11 was a joint attack by the CIA and MOSSAD. were al being lied too about everything as Isrealis own al the main stream media so we only get to see and hear what they want us to hear. Ive nothing against the jews as their getting percasucted as wel as Isral is not jewish its zionist and jews hate the zionists. and Zionist hate the jews.

Operation Market Garden?

So what you're saying is, in 2150, we can have the Theodore Roosevelt Class of carriers?

Then explain Ronald Reagan. He was a pampered reservist with an armful of deferments, who did all his soldiering in Hollywood. Dude spent WWII in California making bad movies, and warming swivel chairs. Classic Chickenhawk.

​@@octaviusmorlockSure, conceivably, why not? We already have a Nimitz-class named for him in active service. Just needs to be the first of a new class to name the class after it.

Another Grand Rapids Native? Lol. Yes we are proud of GRF.

He didn't give his whole life story. You're jealousy is showing 😂

There's a couple of his older videos that can be paired up really well for like 2 a video. The USS Barb and USS O'Bannon. The US Iowa Class Battleships and the USS New Jersey Sunk an Island. The ship that wouldn't sink, the USS Nevada and the Ship that wouldn't die, the USS Laffey. Davy Crockett and Atomic Annie. There's a lot of pairs of short videos that just are great matches that are never reacted to.

So NK was playing checkers, and USA was playing Dungeons & Dragons?

The JSA is never dark. Both sides have lights up and search lights at the guard posts. Remember, shadows and darkness can allow sappers to infiltrate your defenses.

Right?

@@brianeleighton Wait, North Korea can afford lights on their side now????? I was going to say even if it's dark you can tell which side you're headed towards because the one that looks like and absolute abyss devoid of anything worthwhile is on one end and on the other they probably at least have BTS playing.

True. 😂

I don't count Vietnam as a loss, it was a political cluster fuck of epic proportions.the goal was never to win, the goal was Air America. Drugs.

😉Don't forget Babe, the blue ox

@@KevinRodriguez-sf8sy well he would be included in any story about Paul

😆oh yea! I Just didn't want Babe forgotten.

Could be about American folklore both real and fictional like Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed, John Henry, Daniel Boone and so on.

@@HikingPNW yes I was thinking the same thing I believe there is some reactions out there about such things

Unfortunately it was a stupid idea and we left shit there for the terrorists to play with. Elections have consequences. Hard to see the war zone from your basement.

Agreed. That's probably my favorite TFE video.

Yes!!! 🙌 I agree!!! ❤❤❤

That's one of the best stories I've ever heard. SSGT Reckless was pure badass.

Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler is my all time favorite story.

The tree was on the South Korean side. It did not belong to North Korea.

He was impeached by the house, but he resigned before the impeachment could be completed in the Senate. So he was impeached by the House of Representatives.

Mostly political realism, rather than any legal theory. Ford saw the likely outcome of prosecution of a president was years of political balkanization of the US, followed by eventual 'reprisal' prosecutions and impeachments, turning into a reciprocating, repeating mess of political conflict that would suck in the courts and in turn politicize them, too. (Not unlike today and our near future, in all likelihood, actually.) So, given that he didn't care for the presidency himself, he more or less resolved to (1) politically fall on his own sword and make himself a villain by issuance of the pardon, precluding himself from re-election (but he didn't care about that, anyway), so that (2) it would halt that cycle of seesawing political prosecutions from ever spinning up in the first place, and (3) bonus- if Nixon accepted the pardon he would be *criminally* sanitized but it would be *politically* tantamount to an admission of guilt in accepting it. So, Nixon's politcal opponents get a political scalp- they're satisfied- but Nixon doesn't go through a criminal prosecution- he's satisfied- the country doesn't get a tit-for-tat cycle of partisan impeachments and indictments out of political reprisals- the stability of the government and nation is satisfied- the public gets to politically and historically move on- the people are *mostly* satisfied- and the cost is Ford can't ever muster up enough popular political support to be president again- but he didn't want to be president anyway in the first place, so *he* is also satisfied. It was a big damn mess, and he gave everyone most of what they wanted at the cost of something he didn't care about himself anyway. The epitome of political compromise. You can interpret this as simultaneously the greatest example of principled and pragmatic political leadership in American history, and the worst. It's fit for an outstanding case-study of the concepts of politcal realism (or, classical political Machiavellianism, which gets a bad connotation, but is ultimately just pragmatism, unlike the clinical term).

We won Iraq 1 overwhelmingly..

No we didn’t saddam was still in power after we left….

@@mechanicaljebus2074 So removing Saddam wasn't the objective removing Iraqi troops from Kuwait was. In fact we explicitly told the Arabs that we wouldn't remove Saddam

Yes he was. He was never convicted in the Senate, but he was absolutely impeached by the House. His resignation just saved himself and the American people a Senate trial.

​@americansmark Correct, Congress began the process of Impeachment in October 1973 because of the fallout of the "Saturday Night Massacre" in which many high level officials around Nixon resigned.

And he was set up by the CIA

​@@americansmark Correct, Impeachment proceedings were brought on in October of 1973 because of fallout from "The Saturday Night Massacre" when many high level officials resigned.

I can tell you for a fact that this incident is 100% true. Anyone who has served in the 2nd Infantry Division knows about this. One of the American bases in Korea is named after one of the dead Americans from the incident. Camp Bonifas. When I was stationed in Korea in the late 90s the actual stump had been moved from the JSA to outside 2ID Headquarters. I have seen the actual stump.

You can literally look up anything he's done a video about and verify it yourself. He's quite literally getting a degree in history.

The US should not have been there.

Because of our politicians, not our military.

@@skyhawk_4526 nah you can’t cherry pick and poke which is at fault just to make your ego better about the country. We got our ass handed to us

@@SalyLuz-hc6he not at all

​@@Knightowl1980not really it was due to politics that Vietnam became communist

It's a shame the B1R program was never implemented.

@m2hmghb Buff doesn't mind. Neither would the Spicy Dorito. They got stuff under control, warheads on foreheads.

@@dkajj I still love the Bone. But the name boner would have been epic.
