War in general isn’t a pleasant place to be, however, it's quite clear that there are some jobs that are simply worse than others. While some soldiers may find themselves in unfortunate positions through direct orders of command, there are other roles that people have willingly volunteered for... and then discovered exactly why it was a terrible, terrible idea. Here are some jobs throughout military history you absolutely do NOT want to volunteer for.

Fun fact: Half of this stuff he says "don't volunteer for" is not a volunteer position. It's punishment duty or part of a regular rotating duty that is passed among all members of a unit. Latrine duty is rotated or is assigned as a punishment. Night watch can't even be volunteered for - its on rotation so that day-time operations aren't hindered by a portion of your force constantly at risk of exhaustion

Mustard gas would also cling onto uniforms so when a soldier went from a cold environment such as out in the trench, where the mustard gas is a light fairly harmless powder, to a warmer environment such as oh, say a bunker where it's nice and warm, chaos ensues. Upon warming, the powder reverts back to a gas thus causing casualties amongst the bunker dwellers. Nasty, insidious stuff.

@derchozenvun83 2 месяца назад

On top of that it's my understanding that it was a more lethal response to the French implementing chlorine gas which was meant to maim; while mustard gas would also leave some lingering effects. I'm unfamiliar with the more toxic gases mentioned and always heard of mustard gas as being the deadliest in use at the time.

My grandfather (who was in the British Army) always told my father, who told me: "Never volunteer for *anything*." He knew that when somebody starts asking for volunteers, it is almost always for a job that is dangerous, unpleasant, or both. Why else would they have to try to find people to do it?

My friends dad volunteered to join the military during the Vietnam War. His draft number was pretty low so he decided to have a little more say in what branch he'd join and what'd he do. Because of this he was able to enroll in special forces training to become a green beret. He had to remain state side for a bit longer to complete his training and once his training was complete, the war was winding down and he was never shipped over seas.

@mkanderson2000 2 месяца назад

Same exact thing happened to my step-father. He knew he was doomed when they pulled a super draft low number for his birthday (I believe it was #12), so he choose to volunteer instead, knowing he would get a much greater say in what he did and where he was deployed. Because of that he was able to showcase how smart of a young lad he was and ended up getting assigned to a (relatively) very comfy missile base in (what was at the time) Eastern Germany for the entire duration of the war. Crazy to think about what would have happened had your friend's dad and my step-dad not had the wisdom and foresight to volunteer instead of letting themselves get drafted...

The first time that mustard gas used in combat wasn’t in Ypres in 1917, as stated in the video. It was during the second battle of Ypres in 1915. What you guys mentioned is the third battle of Ypres and by then mustard gas had been used quite a lot of times. Should take more time double-checking these things, being a history channel.

@Footsteps123 26 дней назад

The first use of mustard gas was in 1917, 1915 was the first use of chlorine gas and poison gas in general. I don't know why, but if you google "first use of mustard gas" all of the sources talk about the first use poison gas in general even though you asked about mustard gas specifically, and they don't even say that they are talking about chlorine gas so it's easy to get it mixed up with mustard gas since that's what you looked up. You have to actually click the links and read the articles to realize that they are talking about chlorine gas instead of mustard gas. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustard_gas#History it says "Mustard gas was first used in World War I by the German army against British and Canadian soldiers near Ypres, Belgium, "on the night of July 12, 1917."" www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK236059/ it says "As outlined above, prior to the actual use of sulfur mustard as a war gas in 1917, the substance was little more than an interesting compound produced," These were the first 2 sources about mustard gas that I checked.

Before I went to Navy boot camp I was told to never volunteer for anything in the military. They want volunteers because no one else wants to do it.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Either there's volunteers, or there'll be "voluntolds"...

I was just talking about NOT volunteering to a new(er) nurse on my unit, who 'volunteered' for temporary charge nurse. Never volunteer!

Were not most victims of WWI men who were drafted for military service? When do women register for the draft today?

If you ever hear a knock never open the door, if you do make sure you have a beer in your hands or else you’ll be sweeping the barracks hallway

00:19: Ladders were hardly ever used to scale walls. Our ancestors (or anybody's, really) weren't such idiots, they understood what a "bottleneck" means. They were to bridge ditches and other obstacles. They only stormed a wall after it was brought down by artillery, tunneling, or some other means. 1:05 Mustard gas isn't actually a gas. It's a viscuous, oily liquid that sticks to everything, and even the tiniest, microscopic amount can cause severe chemical burns. It evaporates so slowly that pools of it buried in 1918 are still dangerous. So the statement that it "causes severe respiratory injury" isn't really true, unless you were super-duper unlucky and inhaled it right when it was sprayed everywhere from an exploding grenade. Phosgene and chlorine were much more dangerous to the lungs, being actually gases.

Men didn’t have that option throughout history, and some still don’t have that option outside of the U.S. - it’s only been about 50 years since men in the U.S. had the option not to serve in the military simply because they choose not to
