Love you brother. This is a tough one to watch. The reason 99.9% of us serve is because we love our country and love our fellow countrymen. I appreciate your reactions but this one is the best so far. Thank you.

I'm a 2 time Afghanistan Veteran. I graduated basic training 2 days after 9/11. I was only 18 when I went over there the first time. It is hard to listen/watch this and the song "Gone away" I cry everytime but it was worth it to fight for my brothers and sisters. The people who appreciate our sacrifice makes it mean something. The few that say "Thank you for your service" is enough for me to know I did good.

This was by far the best reaction for this video I have watched. I am a 21 year Army veteran with PTSD and the hardest part for me was coming back home into what most consider normal. What we see in this society of people within this country today is far from being normal. FFDP, without question, brings light to subject matters that most want to turn a blind eye to. They have tried harder than any band that I am aware of to bring awareness to the masses of what veterans and those currently serving go through. They can’t do it alone though. I have wished and prayed with how much I love this band I could help them fight this fight. It would be another chapter in my life that I could serve those who so desperately need help. However, realistically I know I would never be able to get in touch with Ivan Moody or any of the guys from this band to explain how much their music drives me and how passionate I am concerning these issues. All I can do is salute them for standing up for us in the way they do and salute to you as well for such a genuine heartfelt reaction. 👍❤️ Godspeed

Ray I'm a disabled veteran and I say thank you for bringing attention to my brothers and sisters in arms. You are an amazing reactor sir keep doing what you do.

I'm an Army veteran, was a 13B, and I reacted the same way you did to this video. The final verse with the black guy in the business suit brought tears to my eyes. He went through hell to save his life, and in the end, he turns around to save him from himself. Very powerful imagery. I am grateful I was suggested this video, I enjoyed watching this.

My Dad is a combat Vietnam veteran with PTSD. It made for a difficult childhood, but I am proud of him and his service. His physical and mental health issues helped prepare me for my career as a nurse with the VA. I treat every one of my veterans as I do my Dad - I fight for them to have everything they earned. They deserve far more than I will ever be able to give. At least in our area, the DAV provides rides to appointments for veterans that are unable to drive or don't have transportation; they look for volunteers to drive the vans. Our VA also has a Compassionate Corp consisting of volunteers that make a weekly call to veterans who are identified as at risk for isolation due to health or lack of resources. The phone call is just a way to keep in touch and let them know someone cares. There are ways to help that don't require monetary donations, just a little time and compassion. Thank you for this reaction - I appreciate your in-depth and thoughtful insight into all of the songs you do.

To all of the veterans in the comments, thank you for your service. Just know, some of us appreciate the sacrifices you all made for us. Ray, I loved your reaction to this, thank you for doing it.

Thank you too all the veterans past present and future service men and women.

I remember when I was a kid and we got a donation request in the mail from the DAV. My mother said, you always give to the veterans, even when you are struggling because without them, we would have nothing.

If this song doesn’t give you chills and hurt your heart 💜, then you don’t need to be here. I appreciate all the arm-force ❤. 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Damn!!!!!!!! This one hit hard. I just retired after 21 years of active duty and the support is more appreciated than you’ll ever know!!!!!!❤

My step son served in Iraq and this song came out. It hit me like it did you. The year he was gone at age 18-19yrs old, we were so broken inside. We are blessed to have him here.

This track still packs a punch even after all these yrs!!

Hooyah, thanks for the love brother. It was our honor to serve because of people like you my friend.

This one and "Gone Away" by FFDP are the two of the hardest music videos to watch. It gives perspective that people don't want to see. Much love to the veterans and Vibe Gang.

Wow what a powerful reaction. Thank you to all our men and women who have served or are currently serving this great country of ours God bless you all.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Thanks Ray God Bless you 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸

As a military spouse for 30 years… this song makes me cry every time, thank you for playing this ❤

As a veteran who struggles everyday, I greatly appreciate your video and the band Five Finger Death Punch.

From another disabled combat veteran. Thank you for your support of the veteran community. Love you bro! Keep up the great work

RAY YOU BROKE MY HEART MY BROTHER AND UNCLE WAS IN VIETNAM AND BASICALLY MY BROTHER CAME BACK NOT HIMSELF. MY UNCLE RETIRED A MP FOR YEARS. MY BROTHER WAS IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL FOR 2 YEARS FOR THE SHIT HE SEEN AND HAD TO DO. THANK YOU FOR YOURE WORDS THEY TOUCHED MY HEART AND I CRIED WITH YOU BROTHER. I'LL BE 57 NEXT SUNDAY AND I CAN'T REMEMBER A TIME WHEN WE WEREN'T SELFISH. LOVE AND RESPECT TO TOM MACDONALD AND ADAM CALHOUN FOR RAISING DAMN NEAR 80,00 FOR THE VETERANS WHICH IS A CHARITY FOR THEM NOW. FFDP IS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE MILITARY THEY ALSO HAVE BAD COMPANY WHERE THEY WENT AND VISITED THE MILITARY MEN. PLEASE RAY KEEP DOING MORE FFDP YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED I PROMISE. HOLD YOU'RE HEAD UP RAY WE GOT THIS. HANGOVERGANG FOREVER

Appreciate you reacting to this brother. As a vet currently in treatment for PTSD, and lost 2 brothers to their demons, all love man!

Bosnia veteran. I know how good Americans enjoy the freedoms they have and don't realize the conviction and obligation veterans take an oath and will die for everyone else. It was an honor for my service to the greatest country in the world. God bless every veteran.

As an Army vet this is a real struggle in our country thank you for what you said from the bottom of my heart those who do this and have done this for their country is because we love our country and families and our way of life

Thank you Ray…. From the bottom of my heart and a fellow Veteran who has personally been affected by the cost of War 🙏🏻🙏🏻 #VIBEGANG 🔥🔥

My grandfather served in the Korean War and my father is a Vietnam Veteran. Thank you for this reaction! Our Vets deserve better! Much love to you, to all those who served, active, and their families!🤟❤️🇺🇸

Most honest reaction to this video I have ever seen! Thanks for doing this.

My father was a Vietnam Veteran. He never talked about his service. And they were treated worse by the country. And he was drafted. I lost him at age 56 due to service connected illness. I work in a small pharmacy that helps Veterans with their Copays in conjunction with the City's Department of Veterans Affairs. Also keep in mind this song is over 10 years old. FFDP is very active with the USO.

I love ya brother. No one gives enough credit. I appreciate you and your words. You mean a lot.

1998 - 2006 19D active duty Army & 63W National Guard for me. Thank you Ray as always!!! FIRE

First off: your channel, your rules. Hit that pause button as much as you need or want to. Secondly, thank you SO much for reacting to this song. 5FDP is one of my fave bands and coming from a military family, this one gets me in the feels every time. If you want another good song by them check out their cover of 'Bad Company'.. Shot in Iraq when 5FDP went there for a tour for the troops. Also, a bit more political, their song 'Living the dream' is GREAT. lol. LOVED the reaction hun, as always. 🎶🔥🙏🏼💖😎

As a vet this is seriously making me tear up just to hear you say the things you are saying. Bro I appreciate you! USAF...OIF/OEF

Yes preach! My husband is active duty and was deployed 3 times.. it’s been rough and he’s suffering mentally 😢 thanks for showing your support ❤ officially my favorite KZfaqr now ❤

The men that went and sacrificed everything for our freedom alot of those who made it are messed up in there heads for life my dad served in Vietnam and look how they was treated coming back home I THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU THAT FOUGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOM RESPECT TO ALL BRANCHES I SALUTE YOU

And on a sidenote, if you’ve watched other five finger death punch videos relating to the military, he uses real veterans that have served this country. And I really commend them for that because they’re not just actors. Those are servicemen and women that have served this country already. Definitely one of my favorite bands.

As a Marine vet thank you for the love brother! I suffer from PTSD from the Iraq war from all the brothers I lost as a grunt they are the true heroes who gave their life for this country

I don't care what Branch you come from or country you served every last Vet deserves my upmost respect, Some may have been on the wrong side of history but that is the thing History Teaches our most horrific past so we may move forward in betterment of all.

I'm a Navy Persian gulf, desert shield and desert storm vet. I had to sub to your channel brother! You speak the truth, and I have the up most respect for you , bro you straight up admitted that you couldn't do it, that takes a huge set of balls to say. you can do it by doin what you do right now, gettin the word out! You calling out all these young bitches that we all know won't do it, You are the man my Brother, I will stand beside and in front of you everyday as long as you want or need me too!!! I love you Brother. Respect for your veteran family too from me ABF 2 Benny McPike.

Hey! Thank you for your reaction to this video. My mom was pregnant with me with she met my dad Bill. He was a Vietnam veteran. They got married and he adopted me. I am privileged that he did so. I would anything for him for doing what didn't have to do. He just resontly passed do to cancer. He was always helpful to others and more importantly other veterans. He was such a a great man for what did for this country. Again than you for sticking up and opening other people eyes with this. Much love.

Every single person that hates America and/or kneels during our National Anthem should be made to watch this. Every kid in school that thinks they are victims of this country should be made to watch this and write a report about it which means they'll have to research the history of our military. To every single person that has served, THANK YOU ISN'T ENOUGH! BUT I WILL CONTINUE TO THANK EVERY ONE OF YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHEN I SEE THEM IN PUBLIC. Those of us that have never served have no clue what you have gone through and I THANK YOU every day in my heart for my freedom and my possibilities. May every single one of you find the peace you deserve. Much love from Oklahoma USA ❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤

My husband served as a helicopter medic in Vietnam was honorably discharged back in the 80s and when he turned in his 60s he asked for assistance and because he didn’t get shot or was a p.o.w. They couldn’t help him but at 77 he was diagnosed with hodgekins lymphoma stage 4 from his exposure to agent orange and only due to a lawsuit a few years earlier that a law was passed saying they had to help.

I wish I could push that like button a million times for the song, the video and your reaction. I cried with you and felt this so deeply and yes I shared this post and will share on my page. Thank you for this from my very core.🙏🏽💯

I'm A vet who has PTSD with TBI and rated to 100% disability... I suffer what I went through nightmares every night and on an asston of meds to keep me stable... I'm lucky I have my parents, and my baby sister, if it wasn't for them, I would have never reached 40years, as I would have most certainly taken my own life years ago... As I have been yelled at, spat at, and even had a beer can thrown at me...

I saw Five Finger Death Punch when they were on this tour with Three Days Grace. They rose so much awareness. It was truely an inspirational night that I will never forget! I cried sad tears I cried happy tears it was just amazing! 🤗🤙

Man, you like all my music, Brah, I just love the way you break it all down, I respect FFDP !!! My father is a combat infantry vet from Nam, 82 airborne, Big Red 1. 1 of the 508, I respect the love they show our veterans ! Salute 🤘My father had NO CHOICE, he was DRAFTED ! in 68. I left my marriage to for my father, I live with him now, and I take care of everything for him, he's never left me, and I will never leave my Dad. He is my Hero !

As a veteran, I thank you for your reaction to this song. I cry every time I listen to it.

My son is 2 1/2 years in as a Combat Medic. Watching your reaction to this was like watching myself as I feel the same way and have nothing but respect for our Veterans. If I could do one thing different, I would have served our country.

As a combat veteran myself thank you for the respect.

I TRULY CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR DOING THIS AND ALL YOU SAID!!!!! And how you felt!!! I grew up with all forms and also 1st Responder now as I’ve said and IVE LITERALLY SEEN THIS PROBABLY A 1,000 times and it wrecks me EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!! Thank you for showing your feelings AND MAKING THIS ABOUT THEM!!!!!!! Not “The Suits & Skirts” AND WHOEVER is in the White House when honestly its Congress mostly BUT THEY ARE NOT THE ONES FIGHTING!!!!! Thank you!!!!!! I know unfortunately what this looks like from their eyes almost because I know too many that are all the above. AND YOU ARE SO RIGHT & why I try to do a little to help. And about to try harder and I didn’t care who we weren’t supposed to hug in Covid if they wanted one (I am a miracle 6 or more times over anyways) I WAS GOING TO HUG THEM!!!!! I went to entirely too many suicides & funerals etc in the past 4 years and only 6 were “of age” just saying and of those 3 gave up because they couldn’t see anyone in Covid. It has wrecked me what we are dealing with CURRENTLY ESPECIALLY AFTER THE “pullout” overseas. I am talking about my friends and family aftermath and who I don’t know is alive right now because they went back “not suppose to currently” off the books....

I am a 17 year MGS Vet of the USMC, I survived 4 tours ,and lost 26 of my brothers and sister.. Its hard trust me , but with people like you , it does help I was blessed to come home somewhat in one piece, But knowing that there's people out there like you who support us in making that selfless decision that we make, does help. Sorry this is a late comment, Just seen your reaction. And from the bottom of my heart and from the bottom of the hearts of my brothers and sisters we thank you. OORAH......

Wish I could like this twice Ray. Much respect “Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul."

To everyone that has served or is serving that reads this, thank you from the bottom of my heart for you service. Without y’all, America wouldn’t exist as we know it. May God Bless each and every one of y’all today and always! A Grateful American

Preach! You hit the nail on the head when you said that we are fighting for the country and not the government! As a veteran of 14 years, I only joined to help out people. I didn’t know anything about the government. Every single battle I know only cares protecting our families and this country. I don’t care what everyone else thinks, keep up the amazing work! This song always hits home for me and the way you reacted to it, it definitely hit home. This song always brings tears to my eyes. It takes a real man to tear up in front of an audience. P.S. these numbers are off. This was many years ago and most soldiers refuse to allow people to know that they have PTSD. For all those soldiers who I had just spoke about, please get help. It doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human. Do not allow PTSD ruin your life or your family’s life just because you’re stubborn.

Im a 17 year Army vet currently dealing with semi-homelessness living in a hotel and just trying to survive. Your level of respect and love for us is the reason why myself and Im sure I speak for all my brothers and sisters is exactly why we signed on that line. Again thank you for this reaction this is a tough one. To my brothers and sisters, Always remember that you ARE worth it and you ARE loved keep your heads up and keep soldiering on I love you all!!

Thank you Ray for your reaction to this important song ... As someone who knows many vets who came home with deep scars both on the outside and the invisible ones on the inside we all need to do more for them ...🙏🙏 much love and respect

First off thank you for your kind words to veterans and thanks to your family and friends that have and may still serve. One thing I think they would all agree with is that we aren't a special kind of person. We all have paths in life and every path needs to be traveled as equal people. My 27 years was what I consider the most beloved years out of the 60 I've lived so far. Now my focus and drive is time with my wife, children grandchildren and friends. Many that serve don't get that opportunity. In the end I'm no different that you or anyone living their lives with a goal and desire. 💞🍻

love you man. as an afghan vet. i love you

Retired MA1 here. Thank you, brother. God bless.

Damn, just listened/watched to some reactions of this song as well as ”Rise Against - Hero of war”. Recommend you to react to that one too. Your reactions help me get through work easier every day!😊 Much love.💯❤️

Gotta say man, this is one of the rawest and most personal reactions I have seen to this song. Thank you for sharing this. I cried right along with you.

I respect and appreciate you even more, than I did. I hear you ! You have me in tears Guy, I do not cry, crying is for the weak, I am not weak, I was raised in the south to be respectful and proud ! They spit on my father when he came home and called him a baby killer. my Dad has war related PTSD as well. But he sleeps like a baby, he told me " I dodn't kill any babies or Momasitas ( women), and begged me to believe him and cried, my Father doesn't cri, he taught me not to show my weakness to anyone ever, I always have his six ! Salute

I didn’t serve, but my Dad was 101st Airborne. His deployments messed him up. We need to respect our veterans. I always stop vets to shake their hand and thank them. The least I can do. Thank you guys. I appreciate you.

LOve the Vets to as I am one myself. We are like this because we live under a government that FINDS a problem 24/7 to put young Americans into war and get PTSD

10:46 That is my sister. She keeps reenlisting. Been in the military sine she was 17, now 45. Has done 2 tours. Still fightin her own battles. Thank you for this reaction

Thank you. Not many of us come back mentally. I'm still there every time I close my eyes. VA doesn't help much without many hoops. I've done and seen many things that will never be declassified to public knowledge. The stance of refugees, illegals over fixing the veterans will forever be unfathomable to me.

I served eight years in the Marines and Desert Storm combat veteran.thank you for heart felt reaction.when we go to combat,we fight for the brothers at our side and watching them die or seriously wounded you never get past.your brain gets rewired and we come home and nothing makes sense and everything seems like a threat.still to this day I don’t like someone walking behind me. When I got home my wife divorced as she couldn’t handle the PTSD and the nightmares I would have.now in my 50”s I live alone,no wife or kids,just me and my dog. We were trained not to show weakness so many of us don’t seek help and try to cope in bad ways.i have lost three brothers by their own hand. What keeps me up at now is this.when I die and go before God and ask why did you kill my children,we are all his children,what do I say,it was my job.we will all be judged.

Your reaction is EXACTLY WHY I COME HERE!!!!!! I would watch you for HOURS!!!!!!!! You have helped ME AND THIS SISTER IN MISSISSIPPI WILL COME TO FLORIDA IN A NEW YORK MINUTE IF YOU OR YOUR WIFE NEEDED HELP!!!!!!! I prayed so hard for you during your times of being sick!!!! I cannot thank you enough!!!!!! I come here for you!!!!!

My family has a long history of serving and we are very proud of that. One of the hardest things I've ever watched was my grandfather, a WW2 veteran and POW in his final years of life. He had alzhiemer's and all he could remember at the end was storming the beach at Dieppe. I was 12/13yrs old and would sit and hold his hand as tears finally flowed for those he lost. He was 87. He carried those horrors with him in silence for over 50 years.

I'm glad you mentioned the boot camp thing... hard to think most of them are 18 to 20 and in most states can't legally carry a hand gun... but can die for us. 🙏🇺🇲

At the end, the black dude is saying "Bill, Bill, it's me Jacoby. You saved my life brother."

We Owe Our Vetrans So Much Respect and All That They Need in Every Aspect of Life. When I see a Vetran I Thank Them For My Freedom and All That They Have Sacrificed. My Brother Army and My Son Army My Other Brother AirForce and Nephew Navy. All the Men in my Family goes Back to Even POW's. I am Thankful and I'm Not Afraid To Say It!!! We Do Owe Them So Much as I Could Never Know What They Needed or Seen To Fight For Our Country. I've Never Even Heard Not One Story Nor Did I Asked !!!! Just Appreciated and Gave Gratitude and Respect. Many of Generations Don't Even Know What The National Anthem Stands For. Now that is one to React to The Star Bangle Banner, How We Fought The British By Given Their Lives To Keep The Flag Up, after Thousands of Soldiers Took The Place Of The Dead to Keep Our Flag Up as We We're Getting Bombed.

Hey brother I appreciate so much you reaction to this video and your kind and respectful words.. As a 4th generation Marine we love our country so much and would gladly give our lives for this country and to preserve our kids and your kids way of life.. THANK YOU BROTHER...

As a wounded combat vet. I would like to say THANK YOU for keeping the message going. Lost more brothers and sisters to their own hands. Then ever in combat. The biggest problem with PTSD. Is misdiagnosis. It's not that most are mortified by their experience. They miss it. Kill or be killed is understandable. Living life is a foreign idea. Took 3 months to turn me into a killer. Took me 6 years to learn how to be a civilian. An still working on it 30+ years later.

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!

Very underrated band. Most of their songs focus on military and first responders and all will make youbtear up. One of theirs that does not, but has a very powerful message is "Coming Down" please check it out.

Sob 😭 every time I even hear this song. Even hundreds, maybe even thousands, of times seeing and hearing it...

My dad was a combat veteran of WWII, Vietnam, and 2 tours of Korea, he was a VERY loyal American till the end of his life, which ended with him drunk and alone, fighting his PTSD on a level no one understood including himself. My family is military minded and we support all branches and all colors, it’s only the correct thing to do I also spent 23 years taking care of a combat Vietnam Veteran who was paralyzed from the neck down, not from combat but a car wreck when he got back He and my dad both had major PTSD and would relive their battles on a nightly basis, hard for them and hard for our family, it’s real and debilitating for those whom don’t or can’t get help quick enough I appreciated FFDP so much for bringing this to light with this emotional video and music I was crying like a baby watching what they lived😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 Thank you Ray, you are much appreciated for highlighting this 🫶♥️🥰

This song is heartbreaking!!! The sad reality!! Here for it!! Greetings from Greece Mr Ray!

As a retired military man with 9 deployments in 22 years... all I can say is Thank You for sharing this!!! Do you wanna know how alot of us military men feel... what we live with... React to their "Gone Away" video! Then... Imagine living with that!

Thank you, brother, for the great respect to us veterans. I served 22 years with multiple departments, so thank you.

Its sad how society is are veterans deserve it all. Much love brother to you and the families of veterans!

The wrong side of heaven is how alot of us Vets feel. We have done and seen things no man or woman should ever see so we do not see ourselves deserving of heaven. The righteous side of hell is because we did those things for good reasons. That's why most Veterans will say we will see you in Valhalla, its heaven for warriors.

I am a combat veteran, two Iraq tours, one in heavy combat. I wanted to say thank you for this amazing reaction. So far this is the beat reaction I have seen to this video from a non veteran. It is unfortunate that the situation ever got to this point to begin with. I really appreciate the love and appreciation that you have for our veterans. Even other vets that can help are failing to. I could probably do more as well. I have a reaction channel as well, only had it for close to a month, lots of Ren and friends and Jelly, MGK and more. Probably 40 videos. Hopefully you will go and check it out. And I would love to have a conversation some time, on or off the record, about vets or reactions or smoking or whatever.

Two words..... Thank you. Thank you for taking the politics and BS out of it and putting the focus on where it is deserved...our Vets. I am a 100 percent disabled veteran and I have watched this video probably 50 times and it never fails to bring a tear to my eye. All of us, all of my brothers and sisters, we all served because we believed in a better future for us and every American out there, we also wanted to ensure that our families and every family out there now and in the future would have the same rights and freedoms that our founding fathers fought so hard to provide us. Even knowing how my life would turn out, I would choose to do it all again in a second and I would proudly stand with my family against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Thank you so much for showing your respect and gratitude to the men and women who truly deserve it.....for this alone you have gained a follower. To all my brothers and sisters out there....never forget that you are loved and that there are so many people who care about you and respect you......stay strong!

Amen! You’re heart felt reaction to this video is the absolute best. My dad fought in Vietnam and is my hero! Thank you to all vets, you people are hero’s rather you think so or not

My daughter served on a carrier. My son served 2 years front lines. The unseen wounds are real. I support every veteran My heart is with combat veterans.

Preach, my brother! I'm a 72 year old veteran of the Vietnam War. I've seen this video many times, and I cry every time. This is a tough video to watch, but it's a story that needs to be told. One thing people should know is that this is a pretty old video; the numbers they quote are very low. The numbers are much higher today. A wise man once said that there are no unwounded veterans of war. Some wounds can be seen, but many more cannot be. We all are wounded! The Vietnam War ended about 47 years ago, but I have been called a "babykiller" and a "war criminal" in the last year. I used to think that the hate would end in a few years; now I know it won't end until we're all gone. My war will not be over until I take my last breath. Until that happens, all of these haters can just kiss my a** and f*ck off! Peace, my friend!

NAVY vet here ... I never had to see the conflicts such as in this video. But I want to say thank you so much for understanding veterans and bringing this video out on your feed. There are many FFDP songs that are absolutely awesome. Hopefully you continue down that rabbit hole.

I’m a disabled veteran who served and qualified on two fast attack submarines, I have bad ptsd what the VA told me, I have fought the demons alone, been homeless too, my history is on my KZfaq, so keeping brief. Thanks my brother God bless

Not ashamed to admit that I cried when I heard this song. To all past and present military service members thank you for your service and I love you. My stepdad is a retired Marine and Vietnam veteran. Thanks for keeping it metal and being a great reactor. I feel the same fucking way, brother. Our veterans get fucked over and it pisses me the fuck off.

My father was in the army 82nd Airborne for 20 years & did 2 tours in Vietnam, he caught malaria and got shot in the back twice. All of our soldiers were treated like shit when they came home from Vietnam & you're right it's sickening. My father had PTSD although it wasn't severe he still had it and thankfully my mother stood by him no matter what but too many soldiers don't have that support & it's just completely wrong. My father, my uncles, my cousins & my grandfather have served in the military so I have mad respect for all soldiers & it doesn't matter what branch, whether it's active duty or a veteran because like you said they went over and did something that we couldn't do.

Thank you, I'm a former 3rd SFG(A), MWD handler. RIP...Sgt. Aaron J. Blasjo, a true warrior.

I'm retired Army, 20 years and four deployments. Life is simple over there. We understand it. Complete the mission, stay alive, bring your buddy back alive. Back here everything and nothing is important. Sometimes I'll just sit and watch people trying to figure out if they have any purpose, if I have any purpose anymore. Ok. I'm adding to my comment as I watch the reaction. The cop car? Not only did they take the cuffs off but more likely than not they transported him to a crisis unit - not a jail. Unfortunately we can't help them until they are ready. The VA has some outreach, they also have domiciliaries for homeless vets. The VA also has some peer positions but we need more. We need peers - troops who have gone through it and come back out - on the streets, in the homeless camps, finding out guys who have slipped through the cracks.

WOW! The BEST reaction EVER to this song and video!!

My brother, my father, almost all of my relatives served. Going back to WWI. I wanted to serve, but I had another path in life. I am grateful for all that have served on my behalf. I encounter the homeless daily in my work. I cut the veterans slack and help them if I can. Great reaction Ray.

The passion at which you spoke on this reaction deserves the utmost respect, we appreciate you and people like you, and you my friend are the definition of why these guys go fight so you don’t have to

Brother, you should have events where you speak to our young adults, and teenagers. You are wise, and it sucks that the whole country does not hear you. If you ran for a public office, you would have my vote sir!

As a disabled veteran I want to thank you for using your platform to bring awareness to this crisis veterans face everyday. Please watch "Gone away" by the same group. It brings another view of the mind of veterans and why we do what we do. Thanks again brother.

We sign on the dotted line and were promised that we would be taken care of. Most only ask they this country do what they promised. We didnt do it for government, we did it for its citizens...so that they could live the lives that they were promised in the Constitution. I have deployed only once..Most here have deployed multiple times and have come back forever changed. A we are fucking failing them!!! Thank you 5finger death for putting this out and thank you sir for doing this reaction. To my brothers and sisters in the Armed Forces. Stay strong keep fighting for you..for your loved ones. YOU are more important to us than you will ever know..and our debt to you can never be re-payed but we will try our best.

Thank you for watching this video. I'm a Marine combat veteran. I lost 2 brothers while I was in and 3 more after we got out to their own hands. 22 a day is a number that haunts me. We don't want a handout we want an equal chance to live a normal life when we get out. When I got out a friend had her uncle (president of a bike club) waiting for me in the parking lot. They took me in and made me live in their clubhouse and saved my life. Semper Fi to all my warrior brothers and sisters out there, until we meet in Valhalla to drink a horn together. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC

This song kills me every time but I am grateful for it. My dad served from 67 to 92 in the navy. I have had many family members and friends who have served and I am passionate about it . My dad went to Vietnam voluntarily he was not drafted. My dad has had PTSD so he was 17 years old. He was an alcoholic for most of my life well he still an alcoholic but he’s been sober 20 years thanks to his wife who is now a drug and alcohol rehabilitation counselor.
