Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤

Being a vet. and witnessing these circumstances on more than one occasion I only have two words for you doing a reaction to this song. Thank you

The three bracelets were KIA bracelets for the three he lost. I have five. I wanted to go back, but after the IED strike, I went a little mental and was refused return and retired. There are 22 veterans a day committing suicide, depicted in his basement scene, but they didn't stop, unfortunately. Appreciate your reaction; I really do.

“A soldier doesn’t fight cause he hates what’s in front of him. He fights cause he loves who and what’s behind and beside him.”

You are not ignorant about this. You are learning about different things that can happen in life, and you are processing it through your life’s experience. Great reaction.

I escorted 3 of my team members who were KIA back home to their families, it is so difficult to see a family in pain. Thank you for your honest and heartfelt reaction to this song and subject matter. Hugs and love to you on behalf of all veterans that know what this video represents.

I will always question the people who send soldiers to war, but I will never question the courage of a soldier. Semper Fidelis.

As a veteran, first, it's hard enough with personal depression and suicide. But it's even harder because you have survivor's guilt. Way back in 2012, my brother came home, after serving 4½ years as a United States Marine. It was all good at first. Then I got to talking to him -- and he was hurting more than I expected. While serving in Afghanistan, he and his Battle Buddy, his best friend, and their platoon came under fire. During the firefight, my brother dropped down to reload, and his best friend took a Dragunov sniper rifle round to the chest -- a bullet meant for my brother. He bled out in my brother's arms, and died. My brother came home with severe survivor's guilt, because he had promised to get his best friend home to his friend's wife and child -- and he thought that he had failed. I told him that you don't know when the bullet meant for you on a battlefield will find you, if ever it does. The only thing you can do is live your life, how much remains of it, in honor and memory of the ones you lose, remembering how they lived their life. Something I have never forgotten is this Bible verse: "No man has greater love than this, than he who would lay down his life for his friends." ~ John 15:13 Edit: Bisscute, I have a song that is along this line called "We Died For Honor" by the band Ravenia. It is a beautiful and touching tribute to those lost in combat. Lest we forget. Those who know: Gone, but not forgotten.

This song for me is an emotional punch in the gut. I lost a good friend that served in the same unit as me. He died saving several of our lives , mine included, I miss you everyday Chris😪, I will see you on the other side someday, brother! 💙

I have my fallen brothers tattooed on my skin. They were my family despite not being blood bound. I have 2 tattoos that represent 10 of us. Only 6 out of the 10 are alive. We carry and bare the burden of the loss of our "family".

The original song that this is a remake of is about the main singer of The Offspring his girlfriend at the time dying when he made the song. I forget how or why she died but that's what the original was based on. This one hits with veteran loss very well and I love both versions of this song so much. Both have tons of emotion and are great versions of this song.

They are I guess you can call them memorial bracelets for his friends. My DS had two of them when I went through Basic Training at Benning. He explained they were for his 2 friends he lost in Iraq. Wonderful reaction ma’am. Keep it up.

I'm retired from the U.S. Coast Guard. The fact that you have actual knowledge of the symbolism yet acknowledge that you are sheltered from the violence gives me comfort. That means we, all the branches combined, are getting the job done. Thank you.

Growing up in the 90's (born in 68) knowing the original Offspring versions this cover carries so much more. My dad did three volunteer tours in Vietnam. No generation of soldier has been disrespected as they. Our veterans deserve better of us. We are free because of them. 🇺🇲

He had 3 friends. Now he has 3 black bracelets. It is inconceivable that you will be sent back to war with post-traumatic stress syndrome and suicidal thoughts. Nobody wants to have someone like him in their team, because you would like to come home alive. You need people in the team who want to live and can hold their thoughts together. He can't do anything for the loss of his comrades, but for the next losses you have to question that. No one in our country would get through the psychological test and should go back to endanger the lives of their own men. My problem with the video is that for me it seems like returning is the only way. Instead of helping veterans, we send them back again and they are happy to do it. Because the army is family. You can see that this is not the case for the state when they return and live on the streets.

I'm a Vietnam War veteran, and I'd like to say Thank You for doing these types of songs. I must say that, even though you are young, you have a better grasp of what war means than many older people. There is nothing heroic about war; there is no epic music playing when these people die - they just die, alone and afraid. Unfortunately, war is sometimes necessary, but let's never glorify it; it is only about brutality, death and destruction. You seem wise beyond your years, and I appreciate you immensely.

What a thoughtful reaction. Well done. Wars are caused from want of power, from greed. Leaders and politicians start wars. Soldiers fight them and pay the price. I fear it will never change.

This is a cover version, the original version is from The Offspring. If you want to watch the original, that would be cool. Btw this version is amazing.

This is song that I like so much cuz it hits me in the feels so hard, cuz I lost many good friends when we where 18yo and some of them didn't even reach 18yrs...Crushes a hearth when you know that they could have been with you and because of others stupidity they are gone forever.

I deployed with my US Army unit in 2015 to Cincu, Romania. I love your country and people. I pray war stays far away from Romanian borders and any other countries boarders. Thanks for a great reaction. I really enjoy your content. Cheers

On this Memorial Day here in the US, thank you to each and every vet out there for your service and sacrifice. To the family members of vets, thank you also for support and sacrifice. You all are certainly not forgotten! 🙏🕊

Thank you so much for doing this video, very valid points you maid! His bracelets were for his fallen brothers. Keep them coming!!

When you lose loved ones there will always be the question of why. Why were they there? Why then? Why them? Why did someone else survive? (like in this case) It does not usually matter if it is for war, or due to a car accident that happened. There will be the pain of having them ripped away. You being able to empathize with the families who have lost a son, a husband, or a father shows you are very emotionally mature, especially in comparison to many people that are growing up in this current generation. To be able to express your feelings so well when English (I am guessing) is not your first language. I am impressed

The original Offspring song should be mentioned. It was great when it came out and this is a awesome cover.

like always, your comments are so mature and centered... keep going.. big hug from Perú!!! all the way from South America to Europe

I love the original version by Offspring as it holds something personal that I went through in my past, on hearing this version and seeing the video its very thoughtful to do this song for those that have served

The three wristbands represented his three friends that were k I A.

What I like about their music is that without the music video the lyrics can be applied to anybody military or not.

Thank you for making videos and being a good person!!! It helps me I joined the army after high school in 2009 1st platoon A.Co 126 unfortunately I was injured and became disabled T.B.I in 2015 my rehabilitation was at Craig hospital in Colorado I pushed the women I love away because I can't work or drive any more I don't think I can give her what she deserves it's hard I know having P.T.S.D and a T.B.I(traumatic brain injury) I'm not the same my mind is almost never at peace... I regret my actions in some way I want the best for her but life was so much better with her in it I just hope she is happy and doing good I love and miss her tremendously lol 😑

If no one has answered, those 3 black metal bracelets, they're "KIA Bracelets" we wear them for those that are close to us that we've lost in battle. He wears them for the 3 friends of his that he joined with, that were in the HUMVEE that got blown up

I’m a combat veteran and when we lost a man they shut down all our going communications until there family can be reached, I have felt with this after my first month deployed I lost someone close to me and the first thing we did was hunt the person responsible, I remember we didn’t come back for 3 days, we kicked in doors and forced people to talk

I think this is you're first reaction I've seen. It not an easy one. I cried too, every time

EXACTLY how it sounds in your ear!!!

I really respect this band SO MUCH, i’ve lost 2 important brothers-in-arms from the Army, thnx for this mv & song & thank you also @bisscute 🙏🏼👀🤗

You should check out Wash it all away , the video shows clips of a live performance and their support for veterans. And as a veteran we need more groups like this , nothing worse than feeling like what your sacrifice went unappreciated. The respect and love they show to us veterans will not be forgotten unlike some of our government has.

This is what Is known as survivors guilt, when in your mind weather due to a mistake or just because you made it and your brothers and sisters didn’t your mind says “why not me?” Or “it should have been me” I’ve suffered from this for a long time and it is a battle that says “you can join them” and constantly saying NO my heart goes out to all of my fellow military brothers and sisters struggling through this

Nice reaction!! You are so adorable!❤❤❤

This is a cover of a song originally recorded by Neo-Punk band The Offspring, so you should check out the original as well.

Such a great cover of the Offspring song .. great job Bisscute

It would hurt so much to loose a child to war. But you’d be so proud they did it fighting for so much more and defending us from the pain of what would happen if they weren’t there defending us

The graveyard he's putting flowers on the grave is Arlington national Cemetery. If you ever find yourself in the United States of America near Washington DC you really should go and see it.

the guy was going through Survivor's Guilt and in the end, he chose to not end his life by his own hands but instead to resign up to earn back his own peace of mind where his buddies didn't die for nothing and fight for their memory and sacrifice

US Army vet here also. I believe the lead singer had talked about losing a good friend in IF or Afghanistan. I had an opportunity to photograph them last time here but had a scheduling conflict. Maybe this October when they come back through. Everytime I watch this vid my brothers come back from 40+ years ago. 😫 getting old sux don't do it.

Wearing a "memorial bracelet" right now. Thanks for reacting to this.

I'm not a vet but had a very good friend who was. He served 3 tours in middle east. Once he got out he did nothing but drink and take pills but was also taking college classes. His girlfriend ended up leaving him. After that he put his dodge charger into a cement barrier. (I think on purpose). RIP Sully

Your reaction to this song/video is touching and meaningful.

Braclets are names and ranks of his dead friends and battle buddies.This happens because the wolf is always at the door, we work to keep it war away from home.

WOW! Girl: what a heartfelt reaction! The words you found, to describe it! You are brilliant! my brother-in-law serviced in Iraq. Under constant medication 'cause of PTSD. And

Great reaction. Liked. The bracelets are the only jewelry you are allowed to wear in the US Army, besides a wedding band. They are memorial bracelets for someone killed in action. He convinced his three buddies to join the service because of what they saw on the news. Some explosion. Then he was walking point to scan for any explosive devices & missed one that killed his three buddies he joined with on the buddy program. This video deals with survivors guilt on a magnitude that is unfathomable, but does happen. That's why he re enlisted for another tour. Many soldiers with survivors guilt do that. The only one who can really understand what a soldier is going through, is another soldier. I salute ALL who serve. HOOYAH!

Nu as fi suspectat ca esti din Romania. Great reaction! Keep it up! :3

you should check out 'Coming Down' by them. Huge TW for that one. The black bracelets he had that you saw at the end were memorial bracelets of friends of his who had died while serving

This song gets to me every time and is relatable, it hard as always. It's such a good cover that they did. I would love you see you react to Nothing More - Jenny. I would appreciate it. For all Army vets if yall would please let us know what your M.O.S is/was and how long you served or tour for. People, Please give them the love that they deserve it aint easy out there for our vet and spread some more mindful thoughts towards others.

It's so hard. If I listen to the radio and this song starts playing I break down. No matter how many times I've heard it or whoever is playing it.

Their cover and Offspring's original are great songs. Even though how they did it compared to Offspring originally did it, it really makes it feel like 2 different songs that share the same lyrics basically. Instead of just a cover of the song, it became like a "new" song instead. Yep its about basically survivor's guilt. From what I've heard of it all when comes to military vets with it, is lots will go back over and over if possible in attempts to die as they feel it's the only way. Along with if they don't go that route sadly commit the unthinkable instead over it all. It really ruins the person and many can't or won't get help over it all leading to horrible outcomes. Though due to many don't want to commit the unthinkable they use going back as a way for them to have it happen. One of the list of things that they really need to do more to help with people who end up with those from war/etc. They gave everything for us and, we are failing at it still, but really need to give everything to help them back. Five Finger Death Punch really does let it all out in their songs.

thank you sweety love the review and feel you its a sad time!!!

When I woke up at Walter Reed hospital, I was not only broken in body but also in my soul, I wished I never woke up as I lost four of my men that were closer then brothers! I still cannot be around people. My scars and wounds I feel I deserve I didn’t bring my men back and for that I will never be the same.

This video is tough. This is all about survivors guilt. Gets me everytime.

each bracelet is for a fellow soldier who died.....77-83 combat engineer, hello to my brothers.

The Offspring wrote the original version. Also impactful in it's own different way. I would highly recommend you sample some of their music as well. Or if you want to remain with five finger death punch I recommend The Bleeding (original version) but have tissues at the ready. 😥

Strong song,strong video,strong reaction.thank you!cheers from Russia!

Thank you for this from a combat vet. But I can't watch this video. Seen it once.

Thank you. As a veteran, I thank this band for so powerfully portraying the tragedy of war. The families of these soldiers suffer as much or more than their loved ones. Sometimes, those who die are the lucky ones. Their families and the wounded warriors who come back home, face a lifetime of challenges. War should only be necessary to defend your country and your family from attack. The German military theorist, Karl Von Clausewitz stated that "War is politics by other means." I say, screw politics.

I am living this... and it does break you... this song is so... REAL. I can't hear it without tearing up... I miss my baby girl...😭

We need this because evil exists and all it needs to succeed is that good men do nothing. We will not forget

Those 3 bands on his wrist, were the 3 buddies he lost on the first deployment. And the term KIA used in the song means "killed in action".

Notification is one of the hardest jobs inside the military. I wish that upon Noone. Not only do you feel the loss, your news is going to destroy a family, their friends, everyone involved. It never leaves the one who does the notification. Each one stays with you. To my brothers and sisters keep your heads up, never outta the fight. Also, thank you for watching and trying to understand.

Someone's probably mentioned it before but the bracelets are for how many men he lost. His friends at the start that all signed up for the military, but he lost all of his friends to the IED explosion the vehicle crept over. So he wears those bracelets as a tribute to them. So he never forgets them, and so others know he has suffered horrible loss.

Bracelets are for POWs/MIA. They have name, rank, etc. U can get on of a friend that u lost in battle. And the proceeds go to organizations that help veterans.

" Wash it all away " is one of my Favorite 5FDP songs.!!

i love in the description "I highly suggest you to go listen to the original song here" and it takes you to the cover ;D

Each one of those bracelets are a close friend (soldier) who've died. The medal bracelet club is a group of people that I wouldn't wish on my own worst enemy, but they're worn for their memory/honor.

8th of November-Big and Rich is another great one.

Good musicians imbue their feelings into their music. You're so right about the guitar crying, I'm sure it was intentional.

This is a good cover song but I love the original so much.

The 3 black bracelets represent 3 fallen comrades. Their memorial bracelets.

Five Finger Death Punch right to the feels. They are good for that. Very powerful. Another good song they've done is a cover of Bad Company's titular song, Bad Company. It's not a tear-jerker, but it's still very good. Liked it better than the original, if I'm honest. It's the one that made me a fan or FFDP.

Wrong side of heaven and coming down are a must listen to by them. Touches on very important issues facing Americans and vets

Im a vet and I think I survived the Iraq war, don't feel much like a warrior, you'll never meet someone more anti war than a combat veteran !

Shot through the forearm, while doing a sweep! Translater shot dead in a Taliban attack. Got sliced with a machete. Scars suck. Emotional too.

That's survivors guilt and PTSD he was the scout and he missed the IED that blew up the humvee.

And Bisscute I've seen Five Finger Death Punch/FFDP live and they're Badass! If or when you get opportunity go see Them! They tour overseas often.

I agree that the original by the Offspring is more personal and more of a lamentation. The original is not about loss due to war. It spoke to those of us who lost friends and family throughout the 80s into to the 90s. For us it was about death that was unexpected. The pain and sorrow that follows and the guilt associated with an unexpected death.

The bracelets are one of the only pieces of jewelry you can wear in the military, as a memorial. I have two from Iraq. Thanks for the video.

The 3 black bracelets are known as Valhalla bracelets, they are bracelets with names of fallen comrades on them to remember and honor them.

Thank you for reacting to this one

My first thought was: this song itself hits you like a truck, your reaction hits you like a tank. I cried at my usual parts of the song but your analysis gave me some more parts where my vision got blurry. I am so glad I suggested it for you.

The picture you see on my real one my notes come to you is my dad from when he was in the war you have a beautiful heart

Nobody want's this for your people except Russia. I have lost three Soldiers. It never get's easier. Thank you very much for sharing this with the world. You are stronger than you can ever imagine.

I never got the honor of serving due to a sickness that left me with high blood pressure. But it was my dream to follow in my grandfather footsteps. How this country treats our veterans is disgusting. Something needs to be done

The bracelets represent the 3 friends he lost. The bracelets have each of their names, rank, and I.D. # that was on their dog tags.

The bracelets are for remembering and honoring a soldier that has passed.

Another song by these guys that is touching is coming down

Being a Notifier (In this it was the 2 females you see walking to the door.) Is one of the hardest things to do. Usually it's 2 officers, one of which is a Chaplain. However the military is pretty understanding with letting a Team leader notify the family of their fallen soldiers. It's very difficult and something that stays with you for the rest of your life and you remember in vivd detail forever.

Coming undone was the first video I react of they and was very powerful

Most people don't want war. A few leave no choice.

As a currently homeless veteran, this song hurts in so many ways. I appreciate your reaction.... although I wish more felt that way. Even some people who understand this video do nothing to help those who sacrificed everything so you don't have to. It is said the US, who spends the most on "defense", treats it's veterans the worst in all of the word. Yes, even Russia at least has a better veterans program and general populous appreciation of those sacrifices.

No i think you are very intelligent and a very caring person

The bracelets are for those that have lost friends in war(fellow soldiers) Each bracelet has a name and the day they died. I luckily don't have any myself, but i have seen plenty

The bracelets are called buddy bands . They are for his friends that was lost in combat.

The 2 notification officers showing up in formal uniform is a real thing that's been going on here in the U.S. since at least World War2 and they still do it to this day. That's how your family is notified that you died in combat. That's a nightmare scenario for your family.
