Yes I knew a US Combat Engineer who blasted padlocks off rail cars to find out what was in them. Full of corpses.

@@silverstar4289 My great-uncle also served in WW2 and he would get visibly upset whenever he smelled a rotting animal carcass. He never talked about it to me (I was just a kid). Later after he'd passed, older relatives told me it was because the rotting animal smell triggered memories of camp survivors who had the same smell, even though they were still alive. The nazis were monsters.

Blessings for all my Brother and Sister Warriors no matter what branch or Country in which they served in. From a United States Marine who is no longer on Active Duty.💑

Your father truly a great man one of the greatest generation sir. As an Englishman we have admiration for the Scot’s such tough people but proud people 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 god bless Scotland and its good people

I wonder how they sleep at night these days knowing they are not fighting wars, they are corporate thugs.

Ear right Son!

Quote: "A government and some people or better most do not value their soldiers one little bit, all this hypocritical posturing. All these beautiful speeches, how brave it is to fight for the nation, blablablabla, i can't listen to this disgusting hypocrisy anymore! I have been injured in battle, for Nothing. You could be a burden to the state and the people they think while they give their great speeches. It is a shame, shame on you. I will never fight for you again, Never! Granted I can't do that anymore either, but if I still had the strength, I wouldn't. So if you care at all about the soldiers, those who stand in front of you when they have to, then stop your babbling. DO SOMETHING! That would be the right kind of appreciation. Don't look away, small gestures help too, real respect. Maybe even real help if you can. But hey it's all right. I'm just an old man with bad memories" -I did not write this, so these are not my words, this was once written to me by a veteran, a few years ago. There are no better words for it than these. So I use them in memory of George Brewster. He was a U.S. Soldier in Vietnam. R.I.P Man, i will never forget you.

I was brought to tears that every small town in Australia had a memorial for all the men that they lost during the wars.

During World War One, the Germans referred to the Scottish troops (who wore kilts into battle) as 'the ladies from hell'.

Either You are transfixed by the sound, or You are scared shitless. Tha is true. -I am special. I like the sound.

imagine durin the 1800 seeing a full army of 5000 redskirts marching towards you with this sound on. I'd be running back to my mum

Those pipers could chase the mice and rats out of NYC!

coming out of the fog…

I understand appreciate that nearly all your family served. That war was a tremendously hard slog. My mother's father served coming from Alabama. The family story is he experienced a bad gas attack but other wise came home OK. Very sorry for your losses.

Scottish are surely not your brother ...

My travel has been limited to a half dozen foreign countries and some 36 States. But the most emotionally compelling were my 3 weeks in Scotland. As a teenager I saw the massed band and pipers of the Black Watch in concert in Columbus, Ohio one week to the day that they marched in Pres. John Kennedy's funeral. One of the most memorable parts of the performance was the Pipers dancing over crossed swords on the tanbark covered arena to torchlight. The skirling of the pipes, the dust filled air, the blackness of the arena and the sole light of 8 torches was positively primeval. That was 60 years ago!

nought to do do with resources then?

The Highlanders where what was destroyed then watched over by the black watch. They weren't highlanders themselves. My clan McDonald was one of the ones destroyed after the Jacobite rebellion. Fun fact. 4 watch regiments that became the Highland regiments.

@@chrismac2234 Aye, and many of the men who were set against you were fellow Scots, Ayrshire and Lothian men,as well as men from Glasgow and Argyle,Germans,French Hueganot's, Irish ,not all the British Army was English not by a long chaik, as all Highland Regiments Have Proved. My late Uncle was a Lieutenant in The Argyle.s A Captain in The Black Watch no mean feat for a Yorkshireman. I know he was proud to be accepted by the men. His Mother my late Grandmother was Scottish.

@@chrismac2234 You sir are a Scottish Nazi, and as such an affront to all true Scotsman. All who have served in the British Army’s Highland Regiments are Highlanders!! 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 “Per Mare, Per Terram”.

It’s a home coming parade, it’s a bit of PR, that’s all. Quite common.

Most marches like this do have front runners it gives you an example of the patrol skills, live work,, if you like..

Mine too and i am not even Scottish. I am German.

I was thinking the same. My son just said today the young just don't know about, or choose not, the sacrifice made for them to speak freely. They even disrespect that gift as seen in the present so called protesters!! UK regiments, air and navy services deserve respect. Hope the young wake up before they suddenly need to protect their homes.

It was a schoolday. Think before you judge.

It’s actually going that way in the U.K. as well Daniel, in some schools and Universities they are teaching our kids to be ashamed of our military.

Aye, but too many thick yoons here now, a disgrace to the country.

Especially seeing as how that was the quick march of the 22nd of Foot.

I haven't met any poor nurses. The ones I know around my town, live in the nicest areas. They get sick pay, good pensions. Meanwhile Ukrainian soldiers are suffering unmanageable circumstances, and our own guys and girls are looking like they will have to step in for strikers during the winter.

@@YARROWS9 yup. The loudest voices are the ones the noisy world hears the most, doesn't make them right. My partner is a nurse, and she agrees. While they should have had pay rises I've the last few years. This action proves they have nothing but contempt for the public.

@@chrismac2234 Spot on mate. I have a couple of friends who are nurses. They do a great job, but they take a good whack of sickies, they earn good money, and will be able to retire early.

This is the truth the media cover up. Disgusting.

Well, I live in Canada, but given that most of my ancestry derives from both Lowland and Highland Scots, I'd be standing and cheering if I was in NYC on that day, LOL.

Why's he there?
