At some point, we just have to accept that we are only leftover NPCs from this guy's main story

Frankly, if you gotta choose between a glass eye and a patch, go with the patch. Unlike glass eyes, patches don't go wonky, and the pirate look never fully dies

Been a long 3 weeks waiting for you mustache man

"If i had known i was going to live this long i would have taken better care of myself " - George Burns

Telling off Mao Zedong is what made me a fan the most, out of the 20 awesome things he did in his life! What a legend

Into the fire through trenches and mud Son of Belgium and Ireland with war in his blood Leading the charge into hostile barrage By design, he was made for the frontline

If the only thing you can find to complain about is an AI thumbnail, Id say Thoughty2 is a big success.

The Most Interesting Man in the World didn't always play a Redshirt on Star Trek, but when he did he lived through the whole episode...

That's a main character if I have ever seen one 😎

I knew of this guy but this is the first big summation i have seen. If you wrote a script based on this guy, it would be rejected for being too implausible.

Been 3 weeks. Hope all's well thoughty2.

He's 1 of the 2 most interesting people I've ever heard about. The other was Cristopher Lee (the same bloke who played Dracula a load of times & Count Dooku) who was a Nazi-hunter in the precursor to the SAS & had a heavy metal band when he was at least 80. You should do a video about him.

These videos are fantastic. Where on earth do you find these wonderful stories. You definitely have a talent for telling them. Great job as always. Thank you for sharing them wight us.

I feel like we should get an explanation video as to where his tash has gone

After all that, I'm not convinced that he's dead now

You're ALIVE?!!!!!!!!! You have no idea how much I've missed this channel and your wink❤️

plot armor ngl

Sabaton's "The Unkillable Soldier" is about him. It's a really good song. I'd say one of their best, but they just don't miss a single song! Every one is 'their best'.

Now this would be an action movie that needs 3 hours !

5:10 If you've never heard of the English public school boy game 'Soggy biscuit' under NO circumstances should you google it. Especially if you're eating. Don't say I didn't warn you!😁🤢🤮🤮🤮 This is (alleged) the sort of Thing Boris Johnson, David Cameron and Nigel Farage used to get up to at expensive public* schools Eton & Dulwich College. Which explains a lot.🤔😐 *For any non-Brits public' schools are expensive private schools. NOT state schools. They're called public schools because these early schools were set up by members of the public, not the government, long before education was compulsory and when usually it was only available to the children of the rich.

You have outdone yourself in your clever and intricate narration. Thank you for this fascinating (and well told) tale of the undying soldier!

Thoughty2 without the 'stache and the suspenders... CERN anybody?

I basically, by accident, created a character with pretty much the same injuries he obtained back in the days. I patched him up with magic for the present time, but still thought of nerfing him because i thought it might be a little too far fetched that he survived at all to be there for the story events. Then I found Sabaton's Unkillabe Soldier song and now ma boy stays the way he is :D

I love the storytelling every time

Only Aran could put out a video good enough to make a week’s work of delirium tremens, mad hallucinations and soaked bed sheets well worth the wait. What a story! Thank you sir 🫡

Dude! Someone stole your mustache!

Hearing about these heroes is absolute badasses of history is what I come on this channel for because what you cover isn't anything like anything I've ever seen

'Sitting on the sofa in your pants watching gardeners world' I feel personally attacked.

Bro is literally big boss

@Thoughty its been sad not seeing you post as much latley, hopefully everything is well in your daily life. (Also, it doesn't really bother me what thumbnails you choose to use, im here for the videos) 👍🏼

My great uncle lost his eye in ww2 driving an officer in a Jeep. They took a mortar round and flipped... the officer didnt make it and Bill lost his eye. When I was about 5, I met him. Not knowing the story, i asked him why he always kept one eye closed. He said, "I sleep in this eye half the day and switch the second half. That way i can stay up all the time." I tried to do that for a long time before asking my dad how uncle Bill did that. He just laughed and then proceeded to tell me the real story. I met the man once, at 5 years old, and I will remember him forever. Legend.

Finally! After 3 weeks of waiting for a new video, you have posted another! Not to mention, it is about history, which is my favorite topic. Thank you so very much, Arran. Anyway, I thought something bad had happened to you during those 3 weeks of waiting, since there was no new video. Thank goodness I was wrong. Take care. Keep up the great work.

Plot armor in real life.

5:11 we know all about soggy biscuit in America too

Ive been watching your videos for years now... And Ive always liked the dry humor in them. But this one had me cracking up more than usual. Love your videos, you do good work.✌😎

what a fabulous topic to talk about. great Channel !

Sabaton did a song about him

What if....all of these "people" complaining about AI thumbnails. Are actually AI trying to annoy people. Tricking real humans into defending AI thumbnails therefore embedding the first seeds of trust for AI in humans 👀

As always, very interesting and very well told and shown. Thank you very much!

Yeesh and I thought having 4 names was insane.🤣

Wow at last, a video that's longer than 4 seconds. I'm sure it'll be good...let me watch it. It's been weeks and weeks since a full length vid so I wonder what the issue was, Maybe vacation. Will there be another in a week's time? Another long video i mean. One hopes such will be the case. Now it's time to prepare my spicy noodles and settle down to watch the Thoughty2 treat. ...........I have seen it..what an amazing guy that soldier, certainly a war junkie but a fascinating and brave man. Very interesting and indeed I have learned something. Keep these longer videos coming please. I beg. Maybe we should all become patreons. I will consider. Well done and release another one in a week from now. Thanks.

Bro you deserve a channel on the tele. I’ve been following you with every account, new phone, etc for about 5years now. Never gets old. definitely amazing content

I love the longer format! Great video

the AI thumbnail is FOUL

Get over the fact he chooses his own thumbnails. They aren’t obscene. You don’t watch the thumbnail. You click his videos because of the title and because he made the video. You only see the thumbnail for a few seconds at most prior to watching the video. Grow up!

So good to watch your videos again. I was missing them a lot. Hope you had a nice and relaxing holiday)

Great story. Well told. I've followed you for years and enjoyed the steady quality increase of your work.

L A.I thumbnail And tha people agree Cut it out

People complaining about AI thumbnails - stop.

Your graphics are among the best! Thank you Thoughty2 for all the great stories. 😊

Amazing life. Great vid. After watching I was going to suggest you do a video about Jack Churchill but wanting to confirm you had not already covered him I was pleasantly surprised you already did.

Seriously mate, your content is excellent but the AI thumbnails you've started using make your channel look like cheap bot clickbait

I love your content. But i feel like you should stop with the AI images and put the actual historical images like you used to do before

Excellent video, Arran!! You never disappoint & you've even outdone yourself with this one! And you're right -- Until you shared this incredible man's story, I had never heard of him. Your research & hard work is deeply appreciated. Thank-You!!

Always interesting and informative, love your channel.

creepy ass AI thumbnail. How cheap do you have to be to use that xD

Brother, I have supported you for many, MANY years.. I even bought your book. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, please stop using these low quality AI thumbnails. This one in particular almost makes me want to unsubscribe because I think it reflects a lot more about the channel than you might think.

Thank you so much for the hard work you obviously put into these videos!

Glad to see all is well. Was starting to think something happened with the less frequent videos

You just keep redoing videos that you have already done and changing the title

There's nothing more off-putting than an AI generated thumbnail. Seriously, AI is great for many things, but creative endeavors are ALWAYS better without AI.

I love these long videos lately, keep them coming

I recommend his autobiography "Happy Odyssey". There is an entire chapter devoted to the customs of the aristocratic social circles he revolved in during his stay in Poland.

I like your videos, but could you stop using the ai thumbnails

You tell it all so well!! Sure do enjoy your story telling, and tge style is so entertaining! Thanks, I really loved this one.

Happy to see your new video 🥰 I love the way you tell the stories ☺️

Yay! A full video and not a short!!

I am so happy when I see a story on KZfaq about something or someone I never knew about. Not the same regurgitated stories that sites flood with and copy. Great story Thoughty2. I will remember this and his name!

I very much prefer these full length videos. This is one of my favorites so far. God bless

Very good episode! Always enjoy your content! Keep it up

And we all think of General George Patton as a badass. General De Wiart makes him look and seem like a baby kitten. Can’t imagine going through those injuries and still wanting to fight.

If you made a movie about him, it would have to continiously show the text: "Yes, this actually happened"

Well worth the wait, Arran

Great to have you back

Also, before his retirement in Ireland: "En route home via French Indochina, Carton de Wiart stopped in Rangoon as a guest of the army commander. Coming down stairs, he slipped on coconut matting, fell down, broke several vertebrae, and knocked himself unconscious. He was admitted to Rangoon Hospital where he was treated."

Fantastic video...your work is brilliant..thanks

Finally been waiting so long for this vidoe

Sabaton made me share this mans legend with my whole country while driving. Great video! Thank you for the great effort you've put into it!

Love your work lad long time follower

Dude, absolutely love your channel. Always looking forward to a great story. Keep it up

About time you uploaded a new video 42 been age's waiting ☺️ Keep up the good work 👏

Loving the longer videos lately

Where you been dude I ain't seen a new vid of yours for ages, good to see you're still alive and kicking 😂

Another great episode,thanks for keeping us entertained and educated

I'm loving the thumbnails, it's what caught my attention along side it being a thoughty2 video

Very interesting Aran, I like your style. One little detail about about Carton de Wiart's career that you missed out was his brief involvement in the Israeli War of Independence. He was literally just passing through the area when he went ashore with a borrowed rifle and did some sniping on the front line . . .

The hits keep coming. Thanx for being the O.G best thing on KZfaq

Amazing man , great video thanks ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I really do love your content, and happy that you make it. Thank you 36:46

I have never in my life heard of an easier box office layup than making a movie about this guy

Your videos never disappoint

Such an interesting tale Thoughty2. Thank you.

Hey! Love your videos. Not seeing as much of you as of late. I hope you're doing and keeping well! If you're not, there's people all over that you can reach out to! Hoping these amazing videos continue! Keep up the always, amazing work!

I love listen to your stories. Thank you.

Watching from Mackinac Island Michigan. Always dig your style, man.

Nicely done. Actually very good. One of your best. Thanks. Poulsbo, Washington

Immense Gratitude for such a wonderful and befitting treatise.

The "Mambo no5" jibe made me proper chuckle 😂

Am I the only one who enjoyed it more when we got weekly videos and less shorts vs monthly videos and basically daily shorts

This was very interesting. Thanks
