People are people. If you're a prick you're a prick. Colour is irrelevant. How could you not like this man? His spirit is so welcoming. What those guys witnessed is just so unnecessary.

This man is a class act.

This mans voice and the way he speaks is so awesome. And tremendous story of virtue and comradeship on the battlefield.

It breaks my heart how he talks about these people as they are still with us.

All soldiers are green. Brothers in arms runs much deeper than race.

This new generation needs to hear this mans story

God bless you Sir for your service, and for helping to defeat the lies to help heal the racial divides in our country. God said be irrespective of man. This gentleman knows and understands that and bares witness to that truth. I would love to welcome you Sir into my home through the front door. God bless you.

A true gentleman and an honour to hear him talk of his service.

Thank you Mr. Chambers for your service and time to give these interviews. Could listen to them for hours.

22 years in the Army. When you suffer together you grow together. Everyone bleeds green in the Army.

great story. actions speak louder than politicians trying to get votes. thanks for your service, Sir

Good man, you are a light in a world stricken by darkness!

When I was in Iraq, I only knew that a person was to my right and my left. Color, background, etc never entered the thought process. If your uniform was the same as mine, you were my brother and I was fighting for you - period! I would GLADLY have this fine gentleman to my home and of course have him proudly enter through the FRONT DOOR! Great story Tom.

When the metal hits the meat your paintjob no longer matters.Just Americans.Thank you Mister Chambers

absolutely amazing. incredibly moving. thank you for posting this

Everyone has certain stereotypes based on experiences but the vast majority of people judge others on their character not their race. What an eye opening story!

This man is awesome his story telling capabilities top notch! Must been one hell of a friend and soldier!!! Respect

No greater love hath a man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend ! No matter the skin color, not all people are racist.

What a WONDERFUL man with an honest and very important story with honest perspective where and when it counts! Please let's all stop being convinced that we are supposed to hate each other!!! And realize that we're ALL God's children. And let's learn from the perspective and experience of a man that was able to witness what happens when human beings are together with the politics and the lies stripped away and what one one brother will do for another.

Why is this man not more celebrated?? Beautiful soul of a man who’s been through hell

Powerful story... respect sir

This man..........what a wonderful person. You just know it, you can hear it you can feel it.

This man is top shelf true and honest we need more people like me Chambers . Thank you for your service

Man this guy is as sharp as a tack, what a story we can all learn a lot.

This makes me wonder if there's any difference in perspective between the children raised by veterans as opposed to the activists of that time.

Right after our first buzz cut in boot camp in ‘65 a southern kid came up to me, staring at the top of my head. He said he thought all Jews had horns and asked if mine had been cut off along w/my hair. I laughed it off & we became pretty good friends, even though I’d never heard that before.

Dr King said it best: "Judge a man on the content of his character, not the color of his skin". That goes BOTH ways.....there are bums in ALL races. There are also GREAT folks in all races. If a person is a BUM and black....he's a BUM. If a white person says he's a bum, it's NOT racism. If he's a bum and white....he's a BUM. If a black person says he's a bum, it's not racism.

A childhood friend of mines father served in an infantry platoon in Vietnam. He grew up in central Georgia. We were asking him about how the races got along in Vietnam compared to here during that time frame and his reply was “over there EVERYONE that had on an army uniform was your brother”

What a wonderful human being. All respect to you and may you continue to influence others in such a positive way.

Thank you for your honorable service to America 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I could listen to this guy talk for days.

We need more Tom Chambers

Proud you are American, You Sir are a real American!

Powerful stuff, thanks so much for sharing.

What an amazing story. "We were soldiers. rather than any racial..." I am so glad Mr. Chambers mentioned that. I also like the fact that Mr. Chambers mentions the names of his buddies. Especially the fallen.

God bless you sir and thank you for your service

That guy is pretty cool

Wow! I worked with a guy named Jim Branch in the late 70’s who was a Vietnam vet. I wonder if it was the same guy.

God bless this man!! Thank you for being an awesome example of an American!!

That’s powerful stuff man. Rest in peace

This man is a True American. Thank you for your service. May god bless you.

Just gave this story like number 1K. It deserves that many times over.

RIP to that man 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 A real soldier! and true hero under god!!

and we keep telling that story any chance we get. it's all about love and learning it

Amen brother.

Very eloquent speaker.

Politicians don't want this story to be told. They need different races to hate each other. Truth is....most people are kind and friendly and nice to talk to. They just want to enjoy their friends and family. I can get along with anybody. Race doesn't really matter much....it's the person.

Thank you sir. In my heart, there are just people. My mind knows that some of these people like to focus on people's skin color, gender, sexual orientation or gender, and lately - which political party they align with. They are still just people. However, those who focus on categorizing and tribalizing one group of people against the others, these are less than people. These are evil thats walking around in people's skin. The sooner we all recognize what those bad people are and give them no safe harbor, the sooner ALL of us can focus on loving one another instead of struggling for power over each other.

WE ALL BLEED THE SAME BLOOD IN THE SAME MUD.

Powerful!

Powerful story. During hard times you realise we are all the same, good people look after people. Doesn't matter what colour you are. RIP

All of my respect, Mr. Chambers...

What a great man!!

Incredible!

When I was in Nam in 1969, down in the Mekong Delta, we were all one US ARMY GREEN, no black yellow white brown or red, just OD GREEN.

As a Vietnam veteran, what I found to be quite surprising; was that most racial problems I encountered were from black guys in the unit southern guys mostly. I'm a Southern California, kid.

This King is amazing

This man and many more like him is the true 🇺🇸 red white and blue.

respect!

Theres no white, black, Latino, etc in war. No races, creeds, religions. Just brothers and sisters

Racism generally goes out the window in a combat zone.

Thank you. I wish i could shake this mans hand.

Amazing

40 NVA. That's never good. Hell of a story. Southern man died under fire saving a brotha, because that's what he was to him. RIP

Beautiful we are all human

WELCOME HOME SIR

When you get right down to reality; There are only two for certain races; Bosses & Workers. 12418

Beautiful Story When you finish Basic you are no longer Black or white you are Green !

Lots of soldiers entered the army as racists. Combat turned everyone into brothers. Back in the states there were still plenty of racial problems. One thing that always seemed to surface was a good soldier was a good soldier no matter who or what he was.

If Patrice O'Neal had lived past 41 he would have looked EXACTLY like Tom Chambers...maybe they're related?

What a fine, fine man! God created Jew and Gentile! Every soul that was not created Jew is a Gentile! All colors are Gentile!

I like this guy.

this is a true man

Wow this guy is impressive ,wonder where he is from in US,

Just found this channel and may I say, its content is interesting - and sobering.... Now, I don't want any bad-mouthing about the question I am about to ask, because I ask it in good faith, but is their a reason why so many 'Black people', 'people of colour' - call them what you wish - seem to have a pronounced gap in their top front teeth?

This man doesn't let anything rent space

Im italian american 3 generation the guy said never at at the table with a black person i never ate with a black person never had a black friend i live in a pretty much all irish italian naborhood born and raised never had a black teacher never sceen a black cop in my naborhood and go on

R.I.P. Jim Branch

Is this Patrice o'neal's father

Truth wins

Everyone become brother in combat.

And the new generation calls anyone who votes for one political party racists. Pathetic.

Those who try to divide and conquer using color as their weapon should be ashamed of themselves. Black, brown, white or yellow - we are are equals, and anyone who encourages you to think differently is the true racist.

All of the ultra-left, super duper social justice warriors should be forced to sit down and watch this video. This guy tells it like it is. He experienced life. He knows human nature. He doesn't form his opinions off of crap he read on some ultra-left blog on the internet. Men like this form their opinions based on life experiences.

Politicians need to watch this video until they’re blue in the face

Smart man.

Who in the hell can give this thumbs down? As of today there r 4 Whiskey Tango Foxtrot WTF?

Long live the rifle companies.

Jesus tells us Greater love has no one than this , that a man lay down his life for his friends. JOHN 1:1-5 +++ John 3:1-18 +++ I pray you choose life friends

The Isley Brothers "Ballad for the Fallen Soldier" should be playing softly in the background for the memory of the guy from Talladega of this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fp2fmMSqs67JmGg.html

🇺🇸

Like the line out of Jarhead. You are no longer black, or brown, or yellow, or red. You are now Green! You are light green or dark green! Do you understand?

Pepole on headphones 🔉🎧🔇 😭

Similar to the saying "there are no atheists in a foxhole" nor are there racists. You put your life in another man's hands and he puts his in yours. The color of those hands are irrelevant, that man is your brother.

Well shit .. I know what I went through in basic and folks are certainly racist and this was back in 2000. They say it's all bullshit until you actually go through it.

Reason 48995425785 of why you can't generalize an entire ethnicity, period

👍🇬🇧

The US Armed Forces, STILL the greatest fighting force in the world!

There ain't no racism in a fox hole.

A wonderful articulate gentleman
