Frenchy Reacts to Wake Island 

I hope you enjoy it ! The audio sounds a bit weird from time to time (apologies), I had to record it under special circumstances

Ace is 5. We just lost "Bud" Anderson on the 17th, a triple Ace P-51 pilot with 16 kills. He was 102 years old. His Mustang was named "Old Crow".

Insane story. Love this guys storytelling abilities. World class

Is it just me as an army soldier. This is the first French man we love. Show him love guys.

I’ve always been amazed at how Japan could misunderstand Americans so badly, that they thought attacking Pearl Harbor would keep us out of the war. I can’t think of a better example of not knowing your enemy. Only the man with the famous quote had any idea of who he was dealing with.❤️🐝🤗

What a triple treat for me today? It's Friday, my favorite history channel watching one of my favorite content creators, could life get any better? What a story! Never underestimate marines and ticked off construction workers! I love how he tells a story, this was a time to need a morale boost and boy did they come through. Thank you as always for the video and commentary, happy Friday everyone, a safe and fun weekend

Fun fact. The last vessel to leave Wake Island before the Japanese attack was the Tugboat Arthur Foss - it was under weigh between Wake and Hawaii when it learned of the attack. It is still afloat as a museum vessel in Seattle, Washington, USA.

The quote was from his Dan Daly Bio...

My grandfather made it through it. I had to piece stuff together after he passed. I just cant watch this video. But im sure its good.

Wake Island (1942) was a great film! I watched it on DVD and it wasn't bad at all despite being made in the middle of World War II.

"I guess this is kind of embarrassing for you." Stop giving the British credit for the art of understatement, immediately.

A US pilot is considered an "ace" once he or she destroys 5 or more enemy aircrafts.

More additional informative commentary on your part. Subscribed. Edit: If someone can suggest to you a good video on Bir Hakeim, I'd enjoy hearing your comments.

The imperial Japanese did sign the Geneva convention, if I remember correctly. *but they never abide with it.* Worst of all, they got away with their war crimes (thanks to America)

My favor video of his is “the most gangster marine”

Bushido in imperial Japan after the Meiji Restoration was presented very differently than it was in feudal Japan: Whereas in imperial Japan it was very much a tool of propaganda to condition soldiers in "proper" battlefield conduct, classical bushido was more in line with the code of chivalry in Europe; it was not a code of battlefield conduct, but of conduct _period._ It included the battlefield, but also social etiquette, ritual etiquette, religious conduct, and so on. I'm sure you have in your mind of how a French knight was supposed to conduct himself whether he was on the battlefield or in the king's palace; bushido _should_ be presented like that. Additionally, something I find interesting is that Yamamoto also said after Pearl Harbor, paraphrased, "I expect to conduct myself as I please for six months or perhaps one year, but after that, defeat is all but inevitable." Six months to the day after he said that was the Battle of Midway, generally accepted as the point where the war had decisively turned against Japan.

7:30 The worst Defeat and you are part of a country that has one of the strongest sentiments for "Victory or Death" the soldiers would rather die in battle then retreat especially towards the end of the war(thats the main reason for US dropping the bombs that people always conveniently leave out when talking about that subject" 9:00 yes "forced into a war" in the combat perspective but the US was supplying the allies long before japan attacked, and are also the ones that empowered japan to want to expand. I had to google to double check but Japan signed the Geneva Convention in 1929.

Wow fantastic,woke the sleeping gaint,may that just fills you with dread. Nobody came to help them,an they fought on,believing they would be killed anyway,that's a powerful motivator. An two planes against 50,unbelievable an they shot down over twenty enemy planes. This would make a fantastic movie. Also I agree with the fat electrician I would of kept the rugs too. Fantastic video again my French friend,your content is amazing.

Wake Island USMC Bad ASS defined Semper FI RIP

Epic History has just released a new video about Napoleon’s Coup of 1799 will you react to it

Hey Frenchy! Really loving your videos. It's cool to have a different perspective on some of these lesser-known historical situations and figures. That said, I think many people underestimate how restrained the US military truly is and how short the leash is that holds these weapons and warriors in check. They're professionals, no doubt, but small doses of their effectiveness can be terrifying. I'd like to request you review this video if you think it would fit with your audience - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-viuUzGGac5M.htmlsi=pl72TkmLj9umpWno

And if you ever read about this place this island and another American territory Guam is so remote that in the pre-war years when it was used by Pan American airlines the only entertainment that they had for passengers when they did layovers was literally renting pellet rifles and shooting rats
