The Ghost of Bataan, Arthur Wermuth by The Fat Electrician - Reaction 

3 minutes of PLAYTIME!

General MacArthur had the chance to ignore his orders or try to organize a chance to rescue at least some of his troops. Instead, he merely said, "I will return!" and left his men behind like Napoleon did in Egypt. The man should not be applauded but scorned.

@@ForgottenHonor0 not saying he did something brave there, which he himself would admit. My opinion of him is basically a slightly above average general that let vanity distract him. And don't even get started on the whole nuke Korea situation.

​@@ForgottenHonor0 Without MacArthur, it's likely the Philippines would've never been liberated until the end of the war. He was a dumbass in many cases but leaving was not one of them. He's lucky he made it out at all. Being captured or killed on Bataan would've served zero purpose. I will not applaud him but neither will I scorn him.

​@@ForgottenHonor0yeah war ain't as simple as thay I'm grunt and I know that to be true. It was already bad enough that General Wainright was captured but it would ha e been worse had MacArthur had been captured as well. I'm not a fan of him but I understand and respect the decision its the same type of thinking Admiral Fletcher made when he abandoned Yorktown you can't continue to fight from there so time to go because as a flag officer your job isn't about the caring for troops anymore its about the bigger mission. The caring for troops on the officer level in the Navy comes from ship captains and in the Army brigade or division commanders. MacArthurs role in this was theatre Commander so it made sense I personally as grunt would want him to leave because atleast from my angle i have one less strategic asset that we need to devote people to protect.

Arthur: "I'm going to break your nico nico kneecaps."

Most of his stories are so hard to believe that they can't be fiction. You couldn't sell it as a movie because no one would believe this could actually happen.

yup the Unit 731 claimed that they had made groundbreaking medical discoveries only after they found out that did the US found out that everything that was in those files had been uncovered by western doctors decades earlier through normal means

One of the few times reneging on a deal would've been absolutely justified. At least we got something _useful_ out of Operation Paperclip. Nothing gained from Unit 731 was worth permitting their freedom

​@Mare_Man not necessarily. Want to know how we understand what happens to you and how to treat everything from hypothermia to syphilis? Thank 731. Unfortunately history is not black and white. It is messy. You have to take the good with the bad. Were 731 pure evil? Yes. Have we saved countless lives with their research? Also yes.

​@@Mare_Mansadly, we actually did get a lot out of the 731 guys. Much of our knowledge about disease progression came from their research. We learned in horrifying detail about the effects of countless chemicals and diseases and significantly helped research into screening for and curing them.

Cuz yeah Sseth Has has the Smith and Wesson joke

is that the name he gave to the alternate channel for other content?

@@crustybomb115 Yes

@@MikeF_44 honestly kinda creative...

It was also because they were high off their ass on multiple drugs.
