aww thanks

@@cmftblynu just a quick question what actually went through your mind when those people booed you and not one of those wannabe commanders in chief said anything to voice disapproval or show support for you?

@@whovianhistorybuff I know I'd probably have a good 20 seconds of mental cursing going through my head.

Oh, snap!

Holy shit. I didn't even realize this! I'm not an American, but captain Hill, I would like to say that I am humbled by your bravery and integrity.

I don't think this is real it's a dramatised show.

@@KyleAPemberton You did see whose channel this is didn't you?

@@KyleAPemberton Many of the clips used for this show were real.

@@KyleAPemberton kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJ2lfquJt6zVfX0.html This is from cnn

The particular news channel is dramatized, but the news story was ripped from the actual headlines of the time.

Thank you!

Just never stop re-watching it like I do

@Mitchell Hart HBO doesn't have a problem with truth. The show was incredibly expensive to do and there were extensive reshoots as Sorkin wasn't happy with the show. He never felt comfortable with it and the internet media (and Fox kept panning the show even though many who actually worked in Cable News shows thought it was pretty great.

@@tartfuel They had to free up the budget for GOT which is understandable...for the first 5 seasons at least.

@@maxhydekyle2425 actually, they caught up with reality and had to stop making it. It was always only a 4 season run.

it didnt stop, just turn on today’s news 🥵

Thank you

The way the show worked is they took the major news stories from like 6 months earlier and then built an episode arc around the events that happened. Obviously some of the larger plot threads like Genoa were totally made up but a lot of those clips are real things.

@@cmftblynu Sad! You can be a liberal and still value our troops. You can be a Marine and still respect gay soldiers. USMC 1970-73 Never served in combat. So amazing grateful for those that did.

Thank you

@@cmftblynu, there are many things on that show I go back and watch, but as the son of a gay man who grew up in the 80s, I've seen first hand the struggle you went through. Takes some fucking militia-sized balls to even ask that question. You stood up on a battlefield, while in another one. Salud, Sir.

@@cmftblynu Capt Hill - you were INDEED the only president on that stage that night.

Amen. Now more than ever.

Hector Caroselli Instead we got like a hundred seasons of How I Met Your Mother and other light “entertainment”

The show was genius, not doubt. But it stopped because viewership was low. The sad reality is; shows like this can't stay on because shows like this are too high brow for most television audiences. . . . .depressing isn't it?

@@thomaslohr2864 Because shitty shows sell to a broader audience of small minded people. Like fast food. Good shows however require thinking and some base knowledge to understand references and innuendos. Thus they're short because that audience is infinitely much smaller. Blame America for having the attention span of a goldfish. You get what the demand is ready to be supplied.

We need this show more now than ever in the year 2022 you know why

The news bits were great, the drama around the newsroom was second rate. I wasn't a big fan of most of the characters after season 2, it just lost touch with it's core as it progressed to me.

Thank you for your service as well

As a libertarian, I imagine we wouldn't see eye to eye on a great many subjects. But that doesn't mean I don't respect what you stand for. We are all trying to make the world a better place in our own way as viewed through our own optics. That said, ANY liberal or conservative who has the rationale to look at an unjust situation and make the appropriate logical decision, even if it means crossing traditional party lines, and not give into bandwagon sensationalism earns my respect. I feel if more people can come to this conclusion, we might finally start to heal as a nation and put the United back in United States. Be well.

@@SirV3nt Well said ... In this, the most divisive times I have ever known since my birth in the 70's, both here, in the UK, and there, in the US, in the time of a once-in-a-century pandemic, that the moderates on either side sees that there are more things that unite each other, and divide ... I am not saying we should all hold hands, and sing round a campfire ... but, rather than fire cheap shots, nor worry about statues (which can be fussed over later ...), with literally thousands dying, and many more infected, this is wartime, abet against a microscopic enemy. Given human lives are literally on the line, then the same attitude of 1939 to 1945 should prevail: suspend the usual political sniping, until this pandemic is over with. In fact, give the frontline soldiers, both the medical staff treating patients; and the many microbiologists either in diagnostic labs, or the ones working on the vaccine, every single penny in both wages, and material (especially equipment ...), to do their damn job. You can take $1 -$2 Billion off of the US DoD budget (a drop in the bucket, since they themselves reported that the last, internal, audit they did, they couldn't account for $1.something _Trillion_ ... ) ... Heck, the US Army spend $2+ Billion on a camouflage uniform (the ACU), which the DoD had to retire, due to being Unfit for Purpose ... and that isn't including what the USN spent on theirs ... Call me crazy, but if many branches of the US Military spent an insane amount of money on uniforms which service members complained about, especially those whom wore them in combat environments, to their detriment, then the least the DoD can do is pay the same money back on such absolute waste, when the money is truly needed elsewhere ... ... but that is just me ...

Thank you!

Sure did!

@@cmftblynu I'm sure you've heard this a lot, but thank you for taking the risks that we run from. That alone makes you a hero. I, for one, am grateful to you and your fellow soldiers.

As a British straight middle aged man, thank you Capt. Hill for your service. Your service to the human race.

@@cmftblynu Thank you sir, for your service, and for keeping my family safe. Honestly, I don't give a good God Damn weather you are gay or straight, that is nobody's business but yours. It certainly does not dictate what type of person you are, your life does, Thanks for putting that on the line for me and mine.

@@keithreay767 even to the Iraqi people

thank you

Thank you!

I am reading this and thank you very much. This means a lot

thank you

thank you

That is very kind of you. I believe our world need more humility. I always say this isn’t my story this is our story.

@@cmftblynu I know you didn’t plan to be center stage in this issue but thank you for not shying away after this all blew up. My best friend and her wife are so scared they will repeal gay marriage. Myself (a straight man) and many others will never stop fighting to protect marriage. This includes gay marriage. Happy you’re still alive after fighting and my family wishes you and your husband the best. I never served. Thank you for going in my place. Lastly, my best friend is a now retired staff Sargeant in the army. He was deployed then too. He is a hard core liberal. He told me there are many in the army afraid to be open too. He was not. You are not alone and never were. I hope you know that you’re loved and people are proud you are an American fighting for our country. Take care.

Thank you

thanks
