Let's dive into my personal experience in the Marine Corps and my combat deployment to Sangin in 2012 with 2nd Battalion 5th Marines. All of this led me to write A Grunt's Life.

From the self-deprecating, combat-hardened, mildly-comedic, unbelievably horny creative minds of actual veterans, VET Tv brings you A Grunt’s Life. Hollywood creates film and television about the military, for civilians. VET Tv creates film and television about the military, for the military, intended to make them feel like they are still there, on deployment with one goal in mind - killing bad guys. These films make veterans and active-duty military, feel like they’re not the only twisted minds in the world.
If you like this kind of humor, check out VET Tv. There’s a whole network full of this stuff, with the same dirty writing, but Hollywood-level production.

7:25 I'd say one of the most important things I learned in army officer training is one of the biggest reason why NCOs despise officers is that they're not held to the same standard as the enlisted. Second most important thing is basically the same: rank doesn't put you above anyone, it just puts you in front of them. Officers are supposed to serve the enlisted, not the other way around.

@rafaelviscash 2 года назад

I saw you on vice news, and I was impressed on how composed you were during the interview. The girl was trying to gril you and you just brushed it off and out classed her. That was a while ago, and you are the real deal. You spoke of vet tv's humble beginning and where you saw it going. You knew that it wasn't perfect or for everyone, but one day it would have its respective audience, even kids. Unlike so many phony motivational speakers, you are the real deal. Your creation is proof of real purpose and motivation.

@Darth-Nihilus1 Год назад

I’m a firefighter and it was always my dream of being a Marine but life had other plans, I got injured trying to rescue a kid off the side of a 15 foot high cliff. My sorry ass slipped on some leaves while tying my rope off and jacked my neck and shoulder up really bad and had to go to physical therapy just to be able to turn my head left. I went in and signed up for the corp after and they said no 😢 now 8 years later I’m still fighting fire and doing my best. Grunts life with it’s dark humor honestly has brought a lot of humor that I needed. It have seen shit that I will never unsee or un smell. I respect the military and love this nation and if humor brings us together then thank god for it

You Mr. O’Malley are a genius, I seriously love all of your content. I’m not in the military, but I love why you do these videos. You do them to save your own and it’s amazing. I am a paramedic who sees some shit, but nowhere near what you gentlemen have seen in combat. us EMS people have a very dark sense of humor to help cope with the things we see and just watching your videos and the dark humor just clicks with me and helps me cope with the stuff I’ve seen and I have turned a lot of my fellow co workers to VET TV and they all love it. We all have subscriptions to VET TV and if we are having a shitty day on duty we play your shows on the TV. Thank you for what you do and please continue to do so.

@DJTheMetalheadMercenary 4 года назад

Got a couple buddies who are EMS/EMT's, that's some raw shit y'all deal with on the daily even without being shot at or having that combat experience, they should make a show themed around y'all on the platform, it'd be some good stuff, definitely relatable.

@noerknown 4 года назад

Be honest, I pay the 5$ subscription even if i don't personally enjoy all the jokes and comedy 😂 y'all being bold and hilarious in your own way during a culture of pc and shunning 'controversial' humor is enough to warrant my support.

Generation Kill was toned down for the overall public to be viewed. This, however, is raw, real and reminds us why we did it and how we made it through. It's the same reason I subbed to Vet Tv, the same reason I showed the series to my ex who was disgusted but said she understood. Rahh Donny, keep making gold.

I come from a military family and I’m about to enlist. My cousin was a sniper in the Marine Corps and is battling ptsd. I show him these clips and it makes him feel like he can remember the humorous side and balance it out with all the bad times he’s currently fighting. Keep it up. From the part family that is trying to balance civilian life, it’s nice to see a little humor in the tragedy.

You know, I wanted a video for the small MOSs, like Fisters, combat divers, firefighters, army/marine Aviators, I think that would be pretty fun to watch/make, cause I know a lot of us small MOSs would also like that stuff. I already love vet tv, and honestly it’s helped me get through my wife leaving on deployment, someone I was married to before the army, it helped with my PTSD and depression to know that people have experienced things similar or have been in the same situation on killing another person or having to be put in a situation where you might have to, it makes it an easier pill to swallow. Thank you for all of the laughs and help you’ve given me. I love you guys.

Eight promotions, Private to Captain, fifteen years of sevice, and nothing whatsoever tangible to show for it, but knowing that my young Marines knew that their lives meant more to me than my own and infinitely more than some stupid career (pthew...hate that word!), that makes it worth it. I often go to sleep hungry, but I sleep well because a clean conscience is the best pillow.

Donny you’re doing God’s work, bless ya and thank you. Even from a civilian, this shit is rediculous you funny.

Our haa as hands were tied even when we see a shooter or ied implacer, we had to get permission to engage. A good friend of mine was facing possible criminal charges for doing our jobs. We were some of the last actually trained soldiers. When crossing an objective, we were taught double tap the enemy, dead or alive (it’s called clearing). Kiawas killed 2 ied implacers were shot with 30mm rounds. One guys head completely gone, the other may have been alive. He double tapped, they said we could’ve got information he shouldn’t have shot. Since all the other ncos had the same training we could prove he did his job. But because they (battalion) wanted promoted for info they tried to press charges. This buddy was an e5 he’s now a company 1sg. Don’t screw over your brothers for praise. AIR ASSAULT
