Staying American After America Is Gone 

Rare Earth I wish you could have made some of the photos larger and the dates smaller simply because some of us watch these on our cell phones

interesting

Thanks for the great and insightful videos. I just found your channel tonight and subscribed.

His ancestors are from Hawaii, and sounds like locals of Hawaii.

he’s from guam 🇬🇺

Where are all Guamians at?

@Testudo Graeca thats transatlantic, mid atlantic is the middle of the eastern seaboard.

I don’t hear a hint of Japanese accent. I hear Hawaiian accent, mixed with US West Coast. He looks vaguely Japanese but he doesn’t sound it at all. He probably doesn’t know a word of Japanese, either.

アメリカ人です。僕もこの島は聞いたじゃないです。面白くないですか？

They kind of hide what's going on.

My impression is that Japan doesn't teach its own history very well. It hides a lot of its less admirable history from its own population. This gives it a bad reputation in other countries. This will need to new problems in the future.

@@rogerwilco2 I think this happens in many countries... no group of people wants to perceive themselves as the "bad guys" in a major element of their own history. I'm not saying that makes it okay, just adding an observation.

An American might say just the same thing.

ValensBellator an excellent perspective, makes you wonder why we still put so much emphasis on flags.

Well said.

Wonderfully said! This melts my heart, your perspective and words are very beautiful

Thanks! I'm genuinely happy to hear you like it. I don't like paywalls. If it were up to me, content would always be free. RU-vid is a wonderful platform for that.

Yes real content as opposed to people who talk about content and have stupid Goofy narcissistic gibberish

@@RareEarthSeries your videos are good DAMN good; keep it comin.'

Kyrill i

He sounds like my dad.

It's called Bonin English I can't find too much info on it

Emir Spoolsy moagan fimano

The voice too!

Emir Spoolsy cool looking guy.

Yes XD

Yep

I hope so. He's only 64, not even old enough to collect US social security.

At time of video he would have been 67. Do you even math bro?

You darned Canadians, all proper, polite and compassionate! What jerks, making us 'Muricans feel bad all the time! Stop providing good examples, dammit!

Indeed, all the above ...

I have now XD

Always! :)

eustacia03 Yes I did actually pause to read, but I wasn't expecting them to be so amusing. Then I saw your comment and was amused again to think I am not the only one who reads credits.

I do read them :D

Always a gem in there somewhere.

Sounds similar to how things work in Hawaii. Only people of native Hawaiian ancestry are called Hawaiian, everyone else are residents, guests, etc.

XChampagne you realize there are almost no Rhodies in Namibia (Southwest Africa), right?

To be fair Japan has changed a lot since 1945. No need to down it now.

Japan like Turkey don't admit to their deeds unlike Germany who have given millions if not billions because of the Nazis

@@havenmirabella3003 Exactly but you don't see people do the same whit Germany, and no one brings that up is like 6 milion lives are more important then those 3 million ukrainians those 8 million russians starved and displaced the 30 million chinese, 500 000 polish and many more. But to germans that thing will be remembered and shoved down their necks for eternity at this point.

@@envyus8257 If the Nazi's were not white, universities would stop teaching how evil they were.

@@nerychristian True... very true! But my comment had the purpose to test the waters. I wanted to see if someone who says that you can't demonize japan for the things of the past then why do this to Germany.

That's not Chris, It's his son Evan :)

Professional

Exactly it's called being a professional instead of trying to be an Entertainer... most of you tube is a massive massive Wasteland... with horribly irritating silly people often willing to do anything to be in front of the camera and to get views and to make money for not really doing or saying anything.

I like it better. Everyone else shouts on camera.

Fly Beep Yes the style is actually the normal Style... the RU-vid style is disgusting and it is not professional when people are shouting and making faces and trying to be entertaining.. That style of being obnoxious and in your face seems to be loved by kids and is rampant on RU-vid. It also makes good content very hard to find... because a lot of us don't want to have to put up with that kind of schlock... some of those people are downright narcissistic and the camera is constantly on them instead of showing you what they are talking about their face is in every single scene and it is so damn irritating. Regretfully it has become so common that some people can't even tell the difference when they see somebody acting normal like this gentleman here in this documentary.... because they actually don't know what normal is anymore. And that in and of itself is bizarre because all they have to do is look at people around them their family and friends and ask if they act like that when they are discussing something fairly serious

Vice is entertainment.

Argus Floyd Do you really think any of Asian islanders like the fact how US messed up Vietnam? What is the reason this man would like someone who killed so many locals in Vietnam? I’m asking this as a Vietnamese...

@@quickfruits6963 I think they personally have a lot in common, including military service, given his age and my uncle's age, they probably served in Vietnam

CREOLE VIKING that’s interesting man

Benjamin Antman the cantor of his highs and lows reminds me of it.

He's Canadian (I'm assuming you're talking about the presenter of course!)

Guamanian. Chamorro speaking English.

You're welcome. I'm happy you like it.

You didn’t hear when he said US colonized the island?

It is a shotgun mic, with as much wind control as we had available to us. Just a ton of wind in a big open room on a tropical island. These videos are taken on the fly in real time, so some things cannot be controlled. Sorry!

Thanks for the video and the reply! :)

One final suggestion: A piece of fake fur and a rubber band will make a great addition to a windscreen if you have a foam windscreen. It's $5 and won't color the sound.

It is in 4k. You just got here early. :)

ohh, thanks :)

It takes a bit for youtube to work it through. Not that the video isn't worth watching again.

Congratulations!

God Bless America!
