Hard hitting song ! Salute to my over 16 million brother and sister veterans! Pray you are handling the battle within and love you all!!

Thank you for watching this video. Marine vet, I lost 2 brothers while I was in and 3 more to their own hands after we got out. 22 a day haunts me to this day. Semper Fi to all my warrior brothers and sisters, until we meet and drink a horn in Valhalla. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC

The ending scene is what gets me in tears every time never fails......"You saved my life brother." Retired Navy here.

I was a combat medic for 21 years, recently retired, LOVE FFDP! always wanted to see them just haven't had the opportunity and i believe they are on their last tour. Thank you for the reaction ❤

I lost friends in the war. Veterans in the US are not taken care of as they should be. The Vietnam War was a very black time in the US. Many soldiers came home treated badly. They were looked down on and yes many took their own lives. They could not find work, became homeless, and addicted to drugs. Of all the wars Vietnam Veterans, I respect the most.

As a veteran let me say thank you for reacting to this powerful video. I highly recommend another of their videos " Gone Away " which deals with survivors guilt. What makes things even worse is all the statistics in the video you just watched are from 2014 and things have only gotten worse. For example the video says one veteran suicide every two hours which is twelve per day. Currently that number is twenty two per day or almost one every hour. Love watching you guys, you seem like really good people. God bless and best wishes.

You can take a look at their cover of "Gone Away". It deals with what many returning vets are suffering with, Survivor's Guilt. The cover has a very somber sound and message as well

I am a combat veteran ( Vietnam ) You can not possibly know the good you have just done Thank you for this and God bless you both.

As a 20 year veteran, thank you so much for sharing this.

I am a 100% disabled veteran, honestly there are days where the only goal is to make it to tomorrow and I can try again. Thank you for bringing awareness to our community.

This one really hits me emotionally, as it did you. Your speech Phil goes right along with lyrics of Black Sabbath War Pigs you did recently - Politicians hide themselves away, They only started the war, Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor. Thanks Phil and Sam for doing this one.

This one makes this jarhead tear up every time. Thank you for taking the time to listen and pay attention.

I'm a 25-year veteran, pilot, Colonel. Every time I hear this song and watch this video I feel guilt, shame and sorrow. Not for something that I've done but for the struggles and solitude that is prevalent in many as they try to find their place in society and put their lives back together following their very honorable service. The lifetime sacrifice that many have made is really inconceivable. They worked incredibly hard, faced unbelievable challenges, endured so much mental and physical pain and served our country and its people to the absolute best of their abilities. I come to tears every single time I hear this and I am crying as I type. FFDP are such a strong supporter of our military and I love them for that (plus their music and message is so good). I post this video on my Facebook every single memorial and veteran's days. If you could, please don't just thank a Vet but try to help a Vet when able. It makes a difference.

As a disabled AF vet, thank you B&B, and thank you all the vets, or service members reading this. We all went in willingly. I appreciate how the writers call God 'Her". She did bring life.

FFDP are big veteran supporters. Their cover of Kenny Wayne Sheppard's Blue on Black is amazing. Obviously, to Kenny's version first, then do theirs. He's featured in it with another famous musician. Great reaction.

As a wounded combat vet. I would like to say THANK YOU for keeping this message going. The reason for joining the military are diverse. Yet the reason we fight and die is for the their brothers and sisters to the right and left of them.

5FDP is a band that doesn't just talk the talk. They're support of First Responders and Veterans is immense. The actors in the videos are real life veterans which adds another level of gut punch to the song doesn't it? I highly recommend Gone Away When the Seasons Change Coming Down Wash It All Away Blue on Black (specifically the collaboration with the original artist Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Brantley Gilbert and Brian May. No One Gets Left Behind in where they rail on the ones who are responsible for the veteran crisis. One of the band members also started a non profit to help veterans collect all of the benefits they deserve. They also address topics like s*icde and mental health as well.

20 years. I made it out alive. Ppl still don’t understand why I’m so isolated. There’s a price for such sacrifices.

Every time I listen to this song, a bunch of invisible ninjas start cutting onions around me. Every. Single. Time.

The end proves we are brothers and we don't forget

Thank you I'm a US Gulf Vet. This song is so true.

Gone away by five finger death punch is another great one

FFDP are very involved in veteran interests. They have a great catalog of songs. One of my favorite bands.

Excellent reaction and Sam looking fine as always….sorry Phil🤣 and thanks to all who served.❤️😎🇺🇸

It’s so important because the band members are veterans

The pain people WONT let you feel cracks your being

Trust me it’s H.O.G ( Tom Macdonald) ., love. You both kick all American ass .. be blessed .. respects always .. thanks for your reactions 💯

“Warriors aren’t trained to retire” has been the hardest thing to hear about these guys. My family is riddled with military. Both parents had parents in, uncle, multiple cousins, brother in law and sister, some saw more action than others.. when they’re in the saying means they’re trained to just do what they needed to, but after you “lose your prime” they give you enough to survive in a bare minimum minimalist lifestyle. As much money that’s given to a defense budget you’d think they could help these guys better but they don’t. They train killers for war, and when they can’t be that anymore they toss them like an old cell phone not thinking about the fact all they’ve done for years is kill for you? How are they supposed to transition back into the world when all they’ve learned to do is assess targets and take them out? There’s 0 transition, they get out and have to hit the real world where no one thinks about how much they owe this kinda person.

I'm an Ex UK Vet of 18 years, and this song is very Poignant and hard Hitting and it's happening over here as well, It's Disgusting how the Government and our Politicians are treating them, To All The Fallen Veterans, Ex Veterans, and Soldiers in active Service, See You at The Final RV. another great song to check out along these lines is Brother In Arms Dire Straits. 🙏

I am British and I live in England and this song and video even got to me. I am a supporter of our British Armed Forces but I also have respect for those who serve and served in the United States Military plus all our Allies Military. How can those incredible men and women end up on the streets, it's absolutely disgusting. It is the government who failed them also the Military establishment that failed them. The government and those high up in the military are a disgrace and should be answerable to those heroes on the streets and to all Veterans who have been treated like shit. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤝🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It's been 10 years since this song was released. I very much doubt the numbers have gotten better

Freedom isn't Free it cost more then we know someone has to kill someone has to die blood was shed the part you saved my life Brother Gets me every time

Super respectful to let it run all of the help connections at the end.

I CRY EVERYTIME I WATCH THIS VIDEO TY FOR UR REACTION!!!!!

Five Finger Death Punch is The real deal.... Lead Singer was in the military.... Than became Very Good Rock Star rock Band.... 💯 IT'S about our Military Doing What They were Told... WAR SUCK'S 🎶🎵🎼👊🇺🇲🙏🫶🚨

Vets def should have a home for life. They gave everything for their country and get nothing back.

Wash It All Away, A Little Bit Off, Sham Pain, Battle Born, are all great songs from FFDP

There are so many great songs from 5FDP with powerful messages that you should react to...I wouldn't even know where to start. These guys do soooo much for our military. Rhythm guitarist Zoltan Bathory is a black belt in jiu-jitsu and judo, and a competing martial artist. He also trains police officers and military personnel hand-to-hand combat. If I had one reaction recommendation, I would ask that you do "No One Gets Left Behind". In the song, they are calling out the politicians and saying maybe it should be THEM going to fight. "Play your war games, with other people's lives....It should be you, on the front lines" Thank you to 5FDP for everything you guys do. And thank you Bars & Barbells for including 5FDP on your channel. Keep up the good work!

I love how this video also shows the juxtaposition of how people react and respond to similar trauma. The guy who got shot and put in the jeep obviously overcame that and appears to be successful, while the guy who was shot saving him, ended up homeless and on the streets. Same with the guy who was put in the police car, same unit tattoo as the policeman, but very different outcomes from their time in that unit.

The lead singer Ivan Moody is a military veteran. Old men start wars, young men fight wars. The references are epic. The wrong side of heaven leaves us veterans in the moral quandary of Thou Shalt Not Kill if drives at your faith because a moral person has a problem with taking a life but on the righteous side of hell because God said you are forgiven for that kind of killing. They also refer to God as She and Satan as a He. I believe that by referring to God as a female it is a search for a deity that is more compassionate. When you have PTSD it's not a matter of becoming violent it's a survival mechanism and we tend to withdraw from human contact. You should also listen to their song Gone Away.

Wow such a great song and powerful reaction this topic is no joke thanks Phil and Sam for this so many out there needed it 🤟

I am a 20 yr Army Combat Veteran of Desert Storm and this video hits hard. Thanks for reacting to this video🙏🏼 Here is a video you can react to of theirs called “Gone Away”. Another military based song you will enjoy. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eK-Bfpdenr-qh2Q.html

Every actor you saw in this vid is a combat veteran, the lead singer has said they only hire vets for their vids concerning our military...I deployed twice to Iraq, sustained combat throughout, cuz after watching those "religion of peace" animals fly planes into buildings in my homeland on Sept 11, 2001 I had the undeniable hunger to hold as many of those bastards accountable as humanly possible.🤘🏻🇺🇸 #ProudUSArmyCmbtVet

They always have a message watch coming down

Both of my children fought for our country. One is okay. One suffers with ptsd. They did their job for us for our country. They did what was required. There is no help for them. They are trained to fight but they are not given the tools on how to reintegration back into the non combat zone. It was best explained to this way....we fight we protect but they never tell us how to to stop the fight. Like a vacuum we are there then sucked back into life here. We are suppose to shut it off. Some can some are still in this fight mode.

I agree with you 1000% Phil 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

You hit the nail on the head brother.

"You know me. You saved my life brother" is the one caption they didn't put in there.

Spent over 12 years on the streets when I was younger after the war. And now that I'm in my 50s about to be forced back to them because of my health issues. Being a vet is hard.

Thank you for watching this. Hopefully you’ll WATCH it and listen to it again. FFDP does a lot for vets (for a reason). I hope you get a respect for their music. ❤️

Great son great reaction. Salute and love for all veterans. Gone Away is another sing by them about war and veterans

Another great song/music video addressing the battle that combat veterans endure is Metallica’s “Confusion.” Would love to see you react to it. Very underrated in the reaction community.

When they did Bad Company's song Bad Company one of them was still active in the military, thats what I read.

To all veterans and current military personnel, thank you for your service. My Dad was Army for 3 years but never saw combat (cold War era). I wear my 22 a Day bracelet everyday.

Another song dedicated to veterans is a cover of Gone Away, originally done by The Offspring. A Little Bit Off has been my them song the last couple years, in these turbulent times. It was written during Covid and is kind of comedic about them trying to make a video during social distancing etc. I recommend both those.

Gone Away is an even more intense military video by FFDP ❤😊 It's an Offspring cover

I love that you did this older song. I suffer from PTSD. And I resonate with this messages. But the facts have changed since the video. The numbers have gone down because so many lives are gone. The politicians say they helped, but the veterans are not alive to count as statistics anymore. Please play gone away. This will explain why this is a battle we face with our lives and families. Alone. I am no hero and I am not made of stone. Love you for this enlightenment to the world .

I'm not sure witch one, but one of the band members, is a special forces, hand to hand combat instructor.

Great reaction to a awesome song

Love this band and massive respects and love your way 💯❤️🇺🇸🦅.. stay up and stay true to you 💯

Im a bit late to this reaction but since it's this particular song, ive got to chime in. U.S. Army, retired tank commander, disabled. Like many of my Brothers and Sisters at Arms, suffering from PTSD is hard. I didn't even realize i had it, or believe it until my Dr told me. God bless all my unfortunate Brothers and Sisters out there dealing with this ❤

First time i heard this song, at the final moments when the bussines man/veteran crouches to see the other one in the floor and then he calms him and says: "Look me in the eyes" "You saved my life, brother" That whole scene for me was chilling and i shed a few tears.

as of this year 2023, 22 veterans take their life each day I get the meaning of Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous side of Hell, My Dad was a Vietnam Vet (Marine) and he had a tattoo that said "This US Marine should go to Heaven, He's Spent his Time in Hell" Vietnam 65-67 Even all these years later in 2010 he was one of those 22

Another song from 5FDP is their emotional cover of Offspring's "Gone Away ".

Every person you see in this vidio is a vet.

Breaks my heart!

Great band and they have so many great songs....

Oh, yall have missed out!!! So many great songs. Do a reaction to The Pride!!

for me the song is about wrong side of heaven is active military doing what most consider to be evil things, aka war, but the righteous side of hell of doing those things for a good reason, to protect our country.

The young and the poor are the ones sent to fight the old rich men's war.

Yes!!!!. Thank you for watching this video. 5FDP has a lot of great songs

Thank You for keeping the Help Organizations running 👍

Remember, Military or Private Enterprise, you are now considered a "Human Resource" not a person.

Gone Away is another tribute to military from FFDP that shows survivors guilt which many military members suffer from. Great reaction.

I feel that most Americans feel this, although their government don't give af... Sad but true

Please be kind the next time you see one of my brothers on the street. You have no idea what he went through to put him where he is now. Please, don't judge. Just do something nice and if you feel like it, say thank you. That man offered to do more for you as a stranger than most of your family would do... All we wanted to do was give something back to the country that we love so much. Please, be kind to us. Don't add to their suffering. Please? From a 63 yo disabled USN vet...

I was deployed in Afghanistan in 2009 /2010, embeded in the 3rd Infatry div, french bat/black rock TF, 2nd Foreign legion Rgt, EOD team, as an assault sapper, some pictures of the clip remain Afgha, when I was wounded, US medic angels saved me, if I could see again her, I was the one with 2x 7,62 bullets in the chest, in the helicopter she yelled to me don t die it s an order! if she see that I wish I could see her, my american medic angel, thanks

They were supposed to play at the forward operating base I was at, but they had to cancel when we became under mortar attack. The 22 a day must stop. I know 2 who did themselves

I am a 2-warzone veteran. I can trace lineage back to revolutionary war. My family has only missed out on 2 wars in his country's history. We can revolutionary, civil, WW1, WW2 Mexica Vs 1821 and Desert Storm, I was not of Military age. My son is in the Army. My other son well, wants to go to Maine Corps. Despite, my advice. He still wants to go.

You should also check out their song “ Gone Away “. Another war based song that actually has a lot of meaning to me. My cousin Bobby re-enlisted 18 yrs after serving in the Gulf War when his 18 yr old son enlisted. Because he wanted to serve by his side in Afghanistan . He was killed by an IED and the rest of his squadron. Representative Donnelly of Indiana did a tribute to him when they brought his body back draped in the USA flag . It’s also a video on KZfaq, search Robert J. Tauteris to see it. Such a heroic , tradgic story. RIP Bobby

check out their cover of House of the Rising Sun, and Bad Company

How people view Soldiers: a fellow human being How Government view Soldiers: an expendable tool of war.

Today is Veterans Day and i am sitting in the downtown Miami public library because i have no place to go .As well as the fact that mentally you could say my issues have issues and actions as well as dealing with situations that most take for granted . i myself began to struggle with after i ETS (Discharged) from the Army. On top of all that i come back to find that. We did the Unthinkable for a Ungrateful Nation and then they just forgot about us.... Isn't' it funny how everyone is thankful for your service til you ask them to make a sacrifice

Judgement day is another strong message song by 5FDP.

You need to check out them singing blue on black

Marines combat duty vietnam veteran here.

The song gone away they do a version of the offspring hit. There’s a little slower, but same kind of aspect. Great song.

Love five finger death punch.

This is a powerful song and really puts the neglect of veterans by the government into perspective. Another great song from them is Gone Away, a cover of a song by The Offspring originally. FFDP's music has a special place in my heart as it got me through some dark times in my life, massive love and respect for this band.

Since the time that this video was released, the numbers have increased. Today, an average of 22 veterans a day commit suicide. 22 a day is 22 too many!

as a military contractor they skip the part about asking you to kill because your told too

Define “For the greater good”. I think that you’ll find that everyone’s idea of what the phrase means will be very similar. The huge difference shows up when specific examples are brought up for judgement.

Never Enough official video. Powerful message.

We are not disposable

This brings a lot of thought of Persian gulf and khadair

Thanks guys. Loved all your reactions. A few recommendations on the bands you've already started; Metallica- Ride the lightning, Megadeath- In my darkest hour, Guns n Roses- Don't cry and enstranged the trilogy ( you already did November Rain)

You guys are getting in to newer music. Suggest Wash it all away it’s a good one. Shinedown has been considered FFDP little brother. They have toured together. 🔥

For a fun song that is just fun, Jekyll and Hyde. :)

@jaydirico6191 53 minutes ago I want to THANK YOU as a Vet who served 4 years until I was shot through my arm and fought on until I was grappling with an enemy and got slashed with a machete! PTSD is real. I’m doing great now. Lost a lot of friends, my house, but have a great family! I and WE APPRECIATE YOU!

I remember my 19 year old uncle coming back from Vietnam after being drafted. He was a completely different person.
