The Most Gangster Tanker Of WWII - Lafayette "War Daddy" Pool by The Fat Electrician - Reaction 

One of "War Daddy's" sons was listed as MIA in Vietnam in the 1960's and was re classified as KIA in the mid 1990's. That also had to have weighed heavy on this man as well. Knowing that your Son was not coming home from a war like he himself did. I just hope that he did not ever lose faith, and had accepted the possibility that his Son was not coming home alive.

To be fair... They ordered him to take the tank......they never said *WHERE* to take it.

It seems like foreshadowing that the one member of the team without a nickname died almost straight out the gate.

43:52 reminds me of something the brits experienced in WWI, they wanted more recruits so they came up with "buddy batallions"(or something along those lines) where all the guys from one town would be put in the same unit so their friends would join to be with them, the result was entire towns ending up with no young men left, or just a couple of trainwrecks who'd watched all their childhood friends and relatives die horribly.

I'm "In the Mood" for another old man reacts to the fat electrician video!

I'm still stuck at a guy named War Daddy in In The Mood taking a whole handful of fists and saying "more please, this time I serve."

This man had McNasty levels of energy!

27:51 RE: Running into a Bootcamp buddy while deployed I had a similar experience in the Marines in Iraq. Standing in line for... I think it was chow, I forget. My unit just arrived at this FOB a few days before, I literally know no one here. Or so I thought, because the guy in front of me half-turns to talk to one of his buddies, and I recognize him. I recognize him specifically because he had to drop out of my Boot Camp platoon for failing his first Rifle qualification and had to re-do it with the next platoon going through. So I tap him on the shoulder; he turns to look at me, and I can tell he's trying to figure out why I look familiar. So I just rattle off our Boot Camp company and platoon number, and he immediately cracks a smile, remembers me, and we get to talking a little. Turns out this guy, who failed his first rifle qual, is now stationed at this FOB as part of a Force Recon platoon. Which for the uninitiated, Force Recon is halfway between standard Marine infantry and Marine Raiders on the scale of how bad a time you're going to have if you're their target. And it's pretty well known how bad a time you'd have with your standard Marine infantry, so let that inform how far this guy bounced back.

He didn't mess with a boat, he turned a tank into a Submarine......like Russia turning theirs into low-orbit-vehicles!

Thank you for mentioning the Sullivan brothers..not many people know that because of them, the military no longer allowed siblings to serve in the same units together..👊🏼🙏🏼

This was a great one Brother. I found your channel through these reactions. Honestly, as a long time fan of Nic's work, you and Nic both are me and the guys sitting around Bullshitting 😂😂😂

During Desert Storm I was in 4th grade and we were assigned a service member to write to. My pen pal was a tanker that happened to be from a neighboring town. My brother was friends with his younger brother and we knew a bunch of the same people. My great aunt even knew him personally.

As a tag in on the Sullivans, it was five brothers, all assigned to an Atlanta-class light cruiser, USS Juneau, that was struck by two Japanese sub launched torpedoes and was absolutely ripped apart. By all accounts, four of the five were either killed immediately or died shortly thereafter as the ship sank. The fifth would survive the sinking and afterwards try to find his brothers by making his way to the different clusters of survivors. Heartbreakingly, he would discover they were not among the survivors and would lose hope, succumbing to either dehydration or drowning. The USS The Sullivans was a Fletcher-class Destroyer named for the five as they were inseparable in life. It is now a museum ship but sadly is in dire need or cleaning and repairs because at some point last year, she sprung a leak and partially sank at her moorings. On the subject of the German tank Ace, I believe that was a reference to Michael Wittmann who was a Tiger Commander. He may have had over 1,000 kills but unlike Poole, he did not survive the war. He was killed I believe by a Canadian tank unit somewhere in Belgium.

Check out Fat Electrician’s new gun safe. Noice

Recon by fire IS a thing, when visibility is an issue, spend ammo. Not like you get extra points for ammo brought back.

you know they wanted that "Special Chocolate" from Germany 😏

I’m surprised how many people haven’t commented on the new background

My biggest complaint about War Thunder, is the grind is real.

O.M., in regard to your reunion story @29:30 -ish, I once had a short training stint at Ft. Huachuca, Ariz. On a whim, I wandered into the base credit union to inquire about the interest rate that their savings account paid. Suddenly my name is being called and it's a girl I knew from a few years before back at my regular unit over 1,500 miles away. She had taken a job at the credit union & was working a few teller windows down from the person I went to and recognized my voice. She helped make the rest of my time in Arizona a lot more pleasant than it otherwise would've been.

"quit simping over the German military its weird" i laughed hard af. I've seen this vid from the Fat Electrician's channel but it still made me laugh. love your reactions keep up the good work :D

Joe Louis: So that's how you want it, eh? Okay!

It going to be a looooooooong time before someone is on our level.

Vision is weird. You literally see what you want to see. I'm a computer programmer and near sigted. I don't wear long range glasses because I'm usually reading something close up, but take me to the woods, and I will find creatures.no one else will see even after I point it out. I had a bird guide just look at me mouth agape and say"no one sees those. that's why they're called hermit thrush.". (It was deep in a bush almost completely concealed). So if you want to kill enemies, I'm confident Your vision will adjust.

I was a kid(between 10-12 years old when this went down… I’d come home from school and watch the tomahawk cruise missiles and bombs impact in Baghdad and watch the skies light up with anti aircraft fire on the news… and only thought to myself… the ordinance has already hit… you are just wasting your ammo.. the planes delivering them are already the hell out of dodge.

Desert storm the last great tank on tank battle 🤔 Bradley vs t72... sure a Bradley isn't a tank more of an apc and yet it knocked out a tank.

I have been asking fat electrician to talk about Willis “Ching” Lee for 6 months because as said in the video he is the greatest battleship commander and I have noticed he has been mentioned in the last 2 videos, and I am hoping he will be the subject of one of his next videos.

Malevelon Creek has fallen.

Wait till you see the shirt for this video. It is awesome.

Aren’t tanks just land boats?

have you seen SCP-079's SCP Sedition? if not you should def react

Did you cut vija

I'm wondering how tf did he manage to fit inside the tank, the average tanker is like 5'4

I went and watched fury immediately after watching this video. I hadn’t seen it and the Clips that he used were curious enough and spoiler enough free that made me interested in watching the movie as a whole. Where, as when he use top gun: Maverick Clips, it did include spoilers in his mailcat video. I still watched it, but I soon as I realised that there was possible spoilers. I practically closed my eyes and took out my earbuds. Just in case. I later watched topgun:maverick so I do now know which were spoilers.

I was a tanker in Iraqi freedom and it sucks to work on and care for an M1 Abraham's

Fury isn't related to this story. It has some names, but completely different. Kinda like Starship Troopers, from the book to the movie, not really that similar

Correction joe Sullivan had a child

W video

Comment tribute

Love TFE, great guy with great vids. Did stop watching LP, talked to some guys knowledgable on the areas he talks about, most of his rants turned out to be less well-informed and his reaction to people questioning him was... not that great. For some info on that, ConeOfArc and LP had a bit of a spaff over the T-14 Armata engine claim, maybe worth looking into.

Don't watch it you will learn nothing
