“Only the dead have seen the end of war.” -Plato

It’s an older proverb and not owned by FDR but nonetheless an honorable figure to use for the quote 👍🏻

I thought it was a quote from Odysseus in Troy

Cristian Sánchez this is a quote that would pop up on Call of Duty when you die In campaign

Human nature Kill or Get kill

And you think competition, "competition" in its most generic definition, is something humans created? I would absolutely embrace a reality in which people, when left to their own devices, played along well with everyone else. But, that's naivete. All of human interaction, from the interpersonal to the macroscopic, runs the spectrum of competition... what I want from you; what you want from me; what an ideology demands of me or others; how ideologies conflict; the fact that everything in this world is finite, and thus has a value defined by its desirability and ease of access. There are no heroes; there are no villains... there are just people doing what people do. Little ants milling around in the sun. And, at the end of the day, if you are not willing to sacrifice to protect the things you enjoy or care about, someone else will sacrifice to take that away from you.

kill or be killed*

At the end of the day, one country has to be the greatest. Period. Why the fuck shouldn't it be ours?

I think what you should have taken from this video is that we're all human beings and we do what we have to do to stay alive, we all have loved ones who will miss us when we're gone. It's not about labelling one country as better than another. We are all human, treat everyone as such unless they stain that title with injustice. People all around the world have fought and died for the sake of power and imperialism, we should only fight when we have to, not out of the arrogance in thinking that your country is the 'greatest'.

Well they must have signed paperwork to do this. But of course I wouldn't ask about killing to a vet. The fear and images must come flooding back. RIP to those who fought for their country and died on killing fields.

That’s the point of this video, they knew what they were signing up for. Its not like they were just interviewing random veterans.

I’m not talking about the people in this video but giving advice to people who might meet veterans out in the world.

I’ve never asked my papaw and I know he is messed up from it I’ve talked abt nam with him but never about death

@@Ash-wi7vn My Papa, God rest him, fought in WW1, lost part of his hand and was left with permanent shrapnel in his leg when he took a grenade from another young man who had pulled the pin and froze in panic. He very nearly died in an African field hospital, his Purple Heart was stolen by someone on the ship home, and when he finally made it they stuck him on a train to travel the country to help sell war bonds as a hero. Fascinating stuff but he would never, ever tell a war story. He refused to replace his stolen medals, and wouldn't allow his preserved uniform to be displayed. He was a carpenter and the kindest, most gentle man I have ever known and I think that the trauma was so deep he couldn't allow it to surface. Even in his late 80s all he would say is "War is proof that the only hell is here on earth." I wish I could have known more about that chapter of his life but I understand why he couldn't speak about it.

I always think of this too. I think at the time it was so normal and wars goes for decades or even hundreds of years that they got used to it like slaughtering an animal.

PTSD is also linked to the lack of community and help at home. So the medevil knights probably had a strong community

124madcow that sounds about right. It was also celebrated back then.

@@Beats4needs yeah whether you were killed or killed someone it is seen as an honorable thing for what ever reason they have.

@@loneencom2087 also a different mindset. A lot of these knights trained from birth and were doing it for God. A lot of this is mindset. A lot of Vietnam guys had PTSD cause there was a draft and weren't cut out for it while you see guys in modern wars who are literally mentally built for war.

CMFT93 thought the same thing.

Sounded like he was quoting someone else--the way his voice sort of changed at that moment.

Of course he knows they are real people. It's a metaphor. What he probably wants to say is that he acted like they were just targets. He had to shoot.

CMFT93 in boot camp we shoot silhouette targets, and other people I have asked who had been deployed into war zones said that when they see the enemy, they look like the silhouette targets we trained on. So in a sense, yeah it dehumanizes the enemy to where you see a target, not a person with hopes and dreams.

I mean soldiers are taught to dehumanize the enemy. Easier to kill

Those are the eyes of someone who went through too much

What makes you say that? Because he is contemplating what has happened and what it implies and he doesn't have a clear answer? From my point of view he isn't 'sick'. He is trying to figure out a really big question. Not having an answer or, even better, not being conceited and thinking to know the answer is a sign of wisdom I'd say.

​@@StuhlEntertainmentWhat I've learned about PTSD through my own, and friends counselling is that it's usually brought on by encountering someone malevolent. Even if that person is yourself. Looking back, you look at things you've done and think, "I can't believe I did that." It's like watching someone else do bad things, then realizing it's you, and at the time, those things didn't seem wrong at all.

Lonnie fought in Nam which was way fucking worse than conflicts in the Middle East. 60 000 American lives were lost

As someone who has actual experience in this I would say being a part of ending other people's lives through direct actions in war hits people differently and you can never fully be prepared for the psychological impact it will have on you regardless of if you signed up for it or were drafted. Some people are minimally effected by it while others will be troubled by it for the rest of their lives and every shade in-between those two points exist. I thought that I knew what to expect and thought I was fully prepared to emotionally resolve any feelings I would have however events did not play out as predicted. It also was not something that just sprang up out of nowhere as I had trained for years prior to even joining as I had chosen to pursue the special operations side of the house so I thought that I was a very mentally tough individual who could handle anything life threw at me. There are many ways to rationalize ones actions but you do not truly know how you will respond to something until you are experiencing it for the first time. There is no true 1 to 1 preparation for war.

Joey Lats Everybody is..

+Joey Lats There are several interviews with over 8000 german and other axis war veterans, they sadly don't exist in english, because they interviewed everyone on the axis side, from the Waffen-SS soldier to the WWI veteran who was a General in WW2, to german women talking in detail about being raped by soviet soldiers, having their kids die etc. And also someone who was drafted at the age of 17 into the Waffen-SS (not to be confused with the Allgemeine SS who were also soldiers but very very political). That 17 year old like many was drafted, grew up as a teenager in the 3rd Reich and then fought at Normandy with the 12th SS-Division Hitlerjugend (which, eventhough they were almost all 17-18 years old) were so good against the Allies that most US and British vets i talked to told me or wrote in their books that they made fun of them and called them "crack babies". One american vet told me "We laughed about those kids, this changed immediately when we had to fight them because these kids didn't fear death and were far better than our 20 year olds." I hope someone takes the time to take all of these archived interviews reaching from 1980-2017 (and still adding more) to add english subtitles because they're very interesting but also often heartbreaking as these vets but also the women don't mind crying during the interviews or show other emotions. Having grown up with family who reached from Waffen-SS soldiers to Luftwaffe pilots i of course also spent a lot of time listening to them and also interviewing them. The Waffen-SS grandfather is still alive and healthy luckily and i still talk to him and ask questions when i help him in his garden. I hope non-german speakers can watch all of these interviews someday, interesting for anyone i think

@@dmitrit.4862 When someone is forced to go to war, and refusing to would get them sent to federal prison, they are forced to do everything. When someone enlists and understands what they're signing up for, it's orders because you are willingly signing that you'll follow all orders for X amount of years. Compare Lonnie and the other Vietnam vet. One appears much older. I'd assume the younger one went towards the end of the war whether enlisted or drafted. And I'd bet all my money that Lonnie was pulled in one of the first lotteries, back when people barely knew about the hell going on over there.

@@Cris-em9tn Being drafted is definitely different compared to enlisting. And I understand that those who were thrown into a war see orders like "being forced" to do things and in some way, it actually it is that way. But orders are orders and someone has to do the job, no matter how ugly it gets. My grandpa, for example, fought in the Red Army in Russia and later even in Berlin. He was forced to fight because there was no other way. He was a machine gunner. He couldn't really talk about it, all I know is that he killed a lot of german soldiers back then. War is hell, there's no doubt about it, that's why I have the upmost respect for any veteran, even for the german ones my grandfather fought back in WW2.

+KellseyAlexHipo You can't change others, and many can never be helped! All you can do is try your best while not being used! do small things around your community to help, help an elderly person or volunteer at a sou kitchen, things you control and know actually help, when you give to big groups you know they don't do what is promised so control what happens by doing for those in need by you!

MrCRAIGSHILL It's funny you say that actually, because I do try my best to help people when I can, but I recently started realizing I'm a little too naive for my own good. I'm turning 18 in April, and my mother has been scolding me more and more often for the things I unthinkingly do. For example, I'm apparently not supposed to walk around with money in my hand, because someone may try to take it. I do plan on volunteering (I recently donated blood for the first time at my school), but I feel like I've lost faith in humanity and just want life to end already. Today, I read three stories in the news, one of which included a man beating his wife and throwing her out naked into the streets for talking to another man, another man claiming his infant choked on a used condom when he'd actually put his private part... *sigh*, and a couple who attempted flushing their newborn baby down a toilet before dismembering it and throwing it away when it failed. I'll try to be good, I'll try to help, and I'm sure there are others who want to make a difference, but I see no hope for us.

It’s like the older gentleman with glasses said, in the moment he shot a silhouette, just a target. Many veterans brains are able to sub consciously stop their thought process at it was a target. It’s the body naturally keeping them sane. But most of them cannot maintain disassociation their entire lives. In the video the Vietnam Vets were not disassociated like the younger men. For most veterans the older they get the harder it is for them to disassociate.

@@4uck7h3Stat3 too good of a reply, thank you. Just wanted to make a point of how death can be talked about on such a emotionless level. Your answer 100% explains that.

His innocence was taken at too much of a young age that he's mind couldn't process everything properly so at some point the brain just stops trying and it's at that point that he was just rendered numb to everything

@@nkosinathikhumalo3399 the interesting thing would be seeing how his interactions in a social environment would differ

Nathan Khumalo or he just didn’t care

His retort to the interviewer sent chills to my spine. It gave me a panic attack and im crying for some reason. Like, it felt like my life was being threatened

Thats ultimately what it boils down to, do you want to see your loved ones more than the guy across from you?

@@istasha885 That's because you experienced what I have heard described as "killing intent", "conviction of will", and "grit". That is what a warrior looks like. Someone who tells it like it is and who has been in situations where he has to fight for his life. He broke it down to the simplest level. "Do you want to see your family again?" Is a simple question. If you want to see your loved ones again you would be surprised what a person is capable of doing. War isn't about winning, it's about survival second and preventing the enemy from coming home first.

When trump say its right...fuck the us

@@Realkeepa its not just America most countries have soldiers within the afghan Iraq areas. The Middle East is war torn from soemthing that happened back in world war I and then II not to mention oil and profit and fear
