Learn from the Nam generation. Their story is much more relevant than the heroic tales of a war from a bygone era. But Nam vets lived through the most divisive time in american history outside of the civil war in the 60s and 70s and got dealt the worst hsnd by Uncle Sam when they came back home from a war that was much less heroic than the one this old vet fought in. And I reckon their knowledge might be much more relevant in todays climate. Lets make it where when they reach this mans age, theyre shedding tears of how far we've come and joy at the virtue and solidarity of the country instead of tears of despair like this poor vet.
@Youandme-kd3ic "they didn't have to"?? I'm German and I'll say this, the fact America joined the war was instrumental for the war effort. If they hadn't, the Axis might still have lost, but the whole ordeal would have been dimensions more bloody.
@Youandme-kd3icThey didn’t want to but if it’s meant saving their allies, then USA is all up for it. LOOK AT YOU. even you think its funny how they shouldn’t have just joined the war. The fricking axis would have made it alot worse if it wasn’t for the Allies. respect and Honor
@Youandme-kd3icthey WANTED to fight for their family, friends, people, freedom etc. Look at you, what are you doing? Sitting on a couch/chair or lying down on a bed commenting shitty stuff like this? What was the "lol" for? You are those Gen z's people who think dying is funny. Let's put you in a war and see how YOU act. It's Not like your lazy ass is gonna even run 100 meters. Piece of shit. At least have some goddamn respect.
I disagree! Your mindset only feeds the bad wolf so rethink what you said, please! People don't have to die to be heroes! My father was a living hero! He died from being murdered by a paedophile priest, my own brother, and a Lockheed Martin couple blood thirsty to kill him, as was the nurse at the hospice he wss FORCED in - my brother was lying to people behind my back, resenting I left my job to take care of him after the paedophile priest obviously poisoned him with arsenic - a CIA favorite! His own brother was not just a military black ops SOB but obvious CIA asset, obviously a millionaire from it though he was a retired major in USMC, friends with Oliver North, et al - the ones who ran the imdrug trafficking of cocaine, incited the Iran-Iraq war for the Military Industrial Complex, and Iran was listed by the Illuminati as one of the five Middle East countries to destroy! They didn't win, YET have hammered Iran ever since, including Obama frauding the Iran Deal and Trump going along with breaching it!
It adds a whole other layer to it when they fight a war they were forced into but they still fight for us and by us I mean regular Americans not the people creating these wars. It's a shame how they were treated many times by people who can only express those misguided feelings towards soldiers because of the lives they laid to give that freedom.
This is a pretty messed up world. We don't deserve this freedom, we don't deserve these brave men and women. Thank you for your service and sacrifices that we never have deserved
The Axis literally fought against this. While the allies fought for Rotchschild and other bankers. It's ironic people say allies fought for freedom when it was the Germans that liberated countries from communism while Britain and America left Eastern Europe to Stalin.
Thank you for your service? When is it time to punish those who trick us into unjust wars?? Wars that make the enemy rich. Wars that kill the innocent under the lie of “self defence”, “democracy” & “fighting for our freedom”. Liars always mean the opposite of what they say and when they accuse, they are confessing themselves.
He is right he is so fucking right The heroes out there did not fight and die for what we have today they fought for what we could have had Thank-you for you service🕊️
And me too brother , I'm a Vietnam combat veteran and I respect the WW 2 Veterans more than my own ! My uncle's ( 5 ) all but one was in WWII , my Mama's brothers out of one family ! And 8 first cousins went to Korea. And out of my family of four boys it was the only one that went to Vietnam 67-68 I was there for the ' Test Offensive ' . Any Nam. Veteran can tell you about that New Years party !. Yes to say I would do again ! BUT the way this administration is running OUR America into the squalor , pure disgust !! Yes sir I'm old and crippled now ! But my oath ,I Remember well ! The people leading and protecting ,!! THEY HAVE NO CLUE, NO LOYALTY (0) TO OUR OATH .!
My great grandad got killed in 1943, Belarusian front. He served in the Soviet Union, used a flamethrower and burned down a Bridge where he got shot after he set the Bridge on fire.😢
@SKILL-ISSUE-. no one here likes you you're disrespecting a veteran and saying he hid behind the rock (which is information you just pulled out of your ass) and you would probably be the one to hide behind a rock and cry in war cuz Ur a spoiled bat who isn't more than 9 years old
@SKILL-ISSUE-.Bro really knows how his entire life played out cause he was crying. Dam bro plan my life out maybe it’ll turn out much better then what your life is rn
@@Patriotism4Life by the way (just saying) fighting the Japanese is like fighting Germany since they were nearly on par with each other but fighting Germany would be worse cuz of Italy, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Vichy france, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, and many many more helping Germany (mostly puppets) but against Japan Manchuria and Thailand are just 2 out of 13 of Japanese allies (again most of them are puppet states) but still almost destined death on both fronts
I'm not from US but my grandfather was a veteran too He said if you are nostalgic at the past something is wrong with the future. Rip to your veterans from Greece.
I respect this man he is right 100% the soldiers who died in that war I respect them 100% to just imagine the ptsd that some of these soldiers have from seeing there best friends die for us to have freedom my mom told me a story of my great uncle her uncle who served in Vietnam he had ptsd and he is sadly passed now but he had to kill a Vietnam child because the child was forced to run at him and his squad with a bomb straps to that kid and he had to shoot him to save his life and his squad so please people respect these vets because some of them has to do that for are freedom I pray for that Vietnam child forced to do that and all the ww2 ww1 vets out there 🫡
imagine fighting for your country and putting your life on the line and millions dying thinking it’ll make the future a better world and then now you see everyone being so ignorant, small minded and disrespectful… man i’d be sad and pissed too but it was all for nothing
I don't get what all the fuss is about. What do they mean the country is going to hell? Would we have rathered the United States in the state it was in the early 1900 when the world went to war twice in the span of 20 years?
@@anapple3445 this country is not like back then everything is expensive and we got a shit president that cant even read less options for work cause of school being so expensive illegal aliens horrible and putin just killing people becoming the next hitler
@@anapple3445probraly he’s referring to uhh… blm, and antifa with their bullshit. And also the celebration of perversion and perversion being pushed onto children by weirdos and pedos
@@darklaugherit’s because of people like you that a previously respected country like the United States of America are loosing power and are arguing if a man is a girl
He is absolutely right.. and i know his heart breaks for it.. i know how i feel being his Jr at 55... and am concerned for my family's children seeing the decay since my youth
Thousands of young men didn’t die in the beaches of Normandy, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa for you to just sit there and complain on twitter about how someone didn’t use the correct pronouns
This made me cry. I'm so sorry we have let you and your fellow service men down. I'm truly grateful for the freedom you many brave Americans have provided for me. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
@@jamiejones6994 lol current admin? america has been corrupt ever since the CIA was created and especially after 9/11. the cia has been messing with the world for decades. lol you have no proof that biden's admin is any more corrupt than any other, it just seems like maga-cultists have a hate boner for biden for some reason
My eyes watered. He's right. I didn't live back then but I didn't have to in order to understand whats right and wrong. There's still alot of good people around but common sense isn't so common now in days. No one is perfect but people are being groomed to not understand what truth is. Wake up people .
This man was part of the most determined and tough generation. With education institutions trying to convince you that they need more money instead of a complete rewrite. The most important information is sold in this world. College's are important for certain fields but a majority of their classes could be replaced with journeyman or shadow programs.
The small connections small towns have to men who fought in the great war.. A lady who lived around the corner from me, where I grew up, her husband died in 1918. She had a garden of the most beautiful flowers and decorations in his memory. Mrs Barry, I hope you & your husband are now eternally embraced in each others arms. Truest of love as she never remarried only enjoyed the company of children playing on the green and street where we lived. A piece of time I miss but deadly respect the memory of a past generation
Serbia,America,France, and more countries where fighting the Germany so many people died for our countries but look now:lgbtq,laziness,weakness that’s our generation now god bless our fighters from France,Serbia,USA and other fighters from countries
Honour him by following his examples. Show this to your children. Never let your children forget D Day landings and other operations that cost the lives of hundreds, thousands.
He’s totally right and I know he means it in a good way. But sadly there are bad people, that use it for their false narrative and use the words from good people like him to justify their actions and beliefs
@@scheminmo602 Bro watched a short about the “but old gen also blame new gen so it normal!!1” like there aren’t anyone in gen z complaining about “gender” and how they can act like an animal because they identify as one.
He's not crying because this generation is messed up, he's crying because this generation won't have what he believed in and nearly lost his life for 100 times over, I've never met a ww2 vet that was upset about this generation, they've all been upset FOR this generation 💔
I'm 34, English, and I'm grateful to every single British, American, Indian, Polish (and so on) veteran that fought against the Axis powers and gave us the freedom we have today. So many just don't give a damn about what these people did for us and it's fucking disgusting
@@Billy_Harringtonn The USA sponsored the USSR and Stalin, and later artificially fought communism Stalin murdered over 120 million people thanks to equipment and money from America. The first Americans fled from Europe and the Isles to murder the indigenous population there and take their place. Then, for the next 300 years, return to Europe and trouble the financiers here, the American army on foreign continents always brings death. Why don't you fight for your citizens, the homeless, drug addicts, damned government pedophiles? Why don't you take care of your democracy, your justice, why doesn't the army protect the citizens of both Americas and just pushes its way into foreign countries????
"Thats not what our boys died for” .. It hit me hard... He have seen death of his fellow comrades and their sacrifices for the freedom of their country... And today we are the reason which makes him say this..
I always said my grandfather would be ashamed to see how the United States has become. The politicians on both sides of the aisle have ruined this country, many children are raised in single family households. Instagram has ruined women and porn has ruined men.
Lgbtqa brings poeple together, it doesn't divide. Also who asked you for your oipinion on this? Lgbtqa lets poeple express themselfs, make friend's. We appreciate our lives@@KeyiosGames
Every time I hear someone complain about things that really do not matter, I always think back to this man breaking down over things that actually do matter.
Interesting that he didn’t think that the segregation and the country he returned to was not great. Anyone is delusional to think the USA was better back then. Go look at history. Compare it to now. Or is it convenient to ignore segregation in the USA? It’s a complete myth that harks back to a time that doesn’t exist.
True heroes. Let us never forget. You and your friends did not fight for nothing Sir. All people around the world , the generations that followed, are living better THANKS to you.
respect to this veteran and possibly the boys also, they and him didn’t deserve this kind of treatment. I hope the bad people included in this apologize, because we are NOT living in a society with this stuff. ❤️
I say the same here in Australia. I am deeply saddened with how my country is changing and not for the best. Our diggers and women died for what, absolutely disgraceful he speaks truth. Thank you for your service
thats just a byproduct of the real problem. look at their parents. they let them get distracted. were all distracted from the real world. while billionares choose our fate for us.@@colpsonyt
This Gentleman is right and thats not only in The United States But here in Canada as well. My own Grandfather was a Veteran of WWII and the way things are going now not just in The U.S.A. but both Nations Like this Veteran here they Must be saying " What the Hell did we Bleed & fight for ? " And it seems like everything is going to hell and we have now is a Young Spoiled Generation filled with Entitlement. They think they know what struggling is. Look what are Grandparents went through. Thank you to the Veterans and their Sacrifice & Service 🇺🇲 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🙏
and what I hate most is that we can't do anything about it as individuals, and that the leaders need to have more power, ground, pride or hatred than others.
He is right , I have lived my whole adult life as a 100% combat disabled vet , watching this country go down the tubes makes me sad that I paid that price for what we find out selves living in now , it's depressing!!!!!
@@sonnyjs15you think its funny god society is falling because of you people many boys died in ww2 and familys waiting for there sons or husband but find out they died
“Don’t call me a hero. All the hero’s are dead” So much respect for this man, it pains me to see him so regretful. You better believe that the second I turn 18, I’m joining the US Marine Forces
It’s an honorable gesture to want fight and possibly die for your country but at the state our country is in you would likely fight the war of corrupt politicians who want the world to burn and for all your family to suffer and struggle for the rest of their lives and their future generations lives. Don’t do it
I'm watching the Netflix doc about WWII from the Frontlines. Excellent documentary. I already appreciate these people. Now even more than that. It should be required viewing in highschools.
People need to wake up. The only reason you can do and say what you want, is because of THIS man right here and everyone else who fought along side him. It upsets me too knowing that they died for our countries freedom and there are people taking it for granted. I don’t pray for another war, but that is what this country needs to reunify together and become the hard working tough Americans we used to be.
His point really went over your head 😂. He isnt talking about people becoming "tough and hard working", he is talking about the external factors working against tough and hardworking, common people.
Not this man here but the americans that were smart enough to ammend the constitution to codify freedom of speech following the war of independence. Hitler never wanted war with the usa
Yeah sure all those men died in vain because your country ended up being a colonial empire famous for falsely justifying wars, orchestrating internal terrorist attacks to jusitfy wars before sending men to die in the middleeast
People died to a massive plague, used to marry children, had slaves, waged hundred year wars, were racist and homophobic, started two wars spanning across the whole world, kept pointing world-ending devices at each other... But now, the world is going down... because children act stupid? (as children do) or because corpos gained power for a bit? What was that dude even crying about exactly?
As a British person, I must say I have full respect for American soldiers as well as British soldiers. True words of wisdom came from this man. RIP Carl Dekle
@@weirdnessincarnateUmmm what? Funny you said about the moon. Did you know NASA and Russian scientists studied Mediveal European armor to help make space suits? Oh, and they still study Mediveal armor to help make newer space suits and other things... Sometimes, it is good to go back and think about the wheel.
My dad told me in the 60s that he couldn’t recognize the country he fought for. Of course as a teenager everything seemed ok to me . Now I know what he saw .
Really? Because you should watch the full version of this interview. He’s talking about fascism in the current GOP. It’s a completely different quote when you know the context
I agree with him. Only if those soldiers knew what the future held, they may have regretted their decision. They fought for the few people with sanity left… There’s so much bad people in the world now… god bless those boys/men who died fighting for something we didn’t deserve. God bless the men who died fighting for our freedom. God bless the families of the soldiers. God bless everyone… ❤
this brings tears to my eye sir, i'm so sorry sir that our current generation and society has let you down, your generation sacrificed so much, i will never forgot your generation, they will always be in my heart and soul, and i will keep on doing my part so that no one forgets your sacrifices.
You stupid? This generation was born into this world. How the fuck do you imagine we got here lmfao. Use your words and tel the class now the generations that were not born yet or were children are to blame for what got us here? I’m sure it will be brilliant.
No, it’s because of all the immigrants. They get free food free shelter and don’t pay a dime. Meanwhile, actual citizens struggle to pay their bills on time.
Its not the current generation its the elite of the previous generations that groomed their lower class compatriots and their heirs to be what they are now. He should have stormer wall street but he bought into the brown and red scares. Where was he when the chain gains cracked the skulls of workers striking for better living or when federal troops resorted to brutal force on protesting ww1 veterans. Yeah somehow the austrian painter across the ocean was the bigger threat than the wall street kleptocrats who are slave owners in all but name.
