I "met" Pool at Ft Hood in 1988 I think it was. By met .. I mean I was a there to bring cold water and sandwiches to him and his wife. They were on a hill overlooking the ground below watching a tank company in action. There was a Captain there as a aide - they set up a canopy to shelter from the sun - he critiqued the action. Pretty cool.
Saving privet Ryan was about 4 brothers in the military and 3 of them being killed in action. And the military not wanting to have the send a 4th deligation to their mother telling her she'd lost all 4 of her sons in combat. So they sent a special team to track him down and bring him home.
There's a few sources for the inspiration for Saving Private Ryan though. There's the Sullivan Brothers, Niland Brothers, and Borgstrom brothers to name some and really those 3 cases were the main ones that got the Sole Survivor Policy in motion. Saving Private Ryan is loosely based on the Niland Brothers, but it doesn't make the other 2, or rather many cases, any less heart breaking. The Niland Brothers were four brothers where one was held at a Japanese POW camp and was assumed to have been KIA and the other 3 were KIA in the European theater. However for the Niland parents to get word of their 4 sons being KIA (not knowing 1 was a POW) would have been hard. The Borgstrom brothers were four brothers, including a pair of twins, who all were KIA during the course of a few months on both theaters and again, I'm not sure how the parents could handle receiving such news. Probably the most difficult one, because there's no spread in time, would be the Sullivan brothers. Five brothers all serving together on the USS Juneau. The Juneau was hit with a torpedo which took three of the brothers. One drowned at sea and then the last one, either from grief stricken madness or hypernatremia (super high blood sodium levels) left the survival raft he was on and was never seen again. 5 brothers on 1 ship and the US Navy had to send 5 letters and flags to the Sullivans at the same time.....
@@steeljawXIn Saving Private Ryan the Ryan brothers had been split into different units specifically because the Sullivans were killed. Which, by the way, was also told in “The Fighting Sullivans”.

Turkey, potato, peas. Nic is a storytelling legend, Lafayette was an armored legend (tank and plot armored), and the Beesleys are reaction legends. Much love to you and the youngling!
As someone else mentioned already, Saving Private Ryan is a movie about the army trying to get the last of 4 brothers home. Though the movie was fictional, the concept of the storyline is based off of an actual law during World War II. Early in the US involvement in the war, a navy ship was sunk that had five brothers on it. All 5 brothers perished in one action, and as you can imagine was devastating to the family. After this incident brothers were purposely separated into different ships and units, sometimes even different theaters of the war to prevent a similar thing from happening. The law, known as the Sullivan Act, was named after the family name of the brothers. It was so a family name would not die out from lack of male heirs from the war. During the war a Fletcher class destroyer named the USS Sullivans was commissioned in their honor and is currently a museum ship in Buffalo, NY. It is sad to say the ship is in bad repair and is going through or about to go through an overhaul to fix her hull after partially sinking and capsizing a couple years ago.
Happy Easter to Y'all From Texas ❤ Our kids liked teething on a wet wash cloth or teething ring from the freezer, it seemed to help with the pain. Archie is such a cute and happy Baby. Enjoy every minute, kids grow up so fast..God Bless the Beesleys
Earlier in the war a USN ship was torpedoed by the Japanese and sunk. Onboard were the Sullivan…4 brothers and their father. Every male member of one family killed by a single torpedo. After that, siblings were not allowed to serve in the same unit, aircraft or ship. So, yeah….
36:51 that comes from the incident in the Solomons, where all 5 brothers (the Sullivan brothers) went down together on the USS Juneau. Saving Private Ryan obliquely touches on this incodent, but this is the policy behind the whole plot.
36:42 It's a well established tradition in the United States military dating back to the American Civil War. The movie "Saving Private Ryan" has this as It's central premise. Maybe you good folks can react to that movie as well as "Fury" a couple of nights when the Grands have the 👶. 😊
“The Fighting Sullivans” is an excellent movie about the Sullivan brothers. They joined the Navy and insisted that they be stationed together. Unfortunately their ship was hit and all five were killed in a single action.
My Hubby's grandfather on his dad's side had a wooden leg. Hubby's dad said he'd do the same thing any time he'd bring new friends over. He says, "agh, this damn sock!" Then hammer a nail in. Freaked them out. Funny thing, though. Apparently, he could play a mean game of tennis. He taught both of his sons to play, and they taught their sons. Even as a 60 year old heavier man. My FIL could still play and beat college level players. It was always fun to watch them play. FIL could put the ball anywhere and make hubby chase after it. Hubby could hit the ball back faster than FIL could run. So it almost evened out.
It’s interesting that his first name was Lafayette, the French commander who helped us in the Revolutionary War. Or perhaps he’s named after the town in Louisiana.
The military pulled jailbait back due to a policy they implemented after the Solomon Brothers. It was 4-5 Brothers that were all killed when their ship was hit in the pacific. It killed all the sons from that family in one go
A few good Fat Electrician videos to react to are “World War Tree: Operation Paul Bunyan”, “Marines took a duck into battle in WW2: The devil duck”, “Bat Bombs: more dangerous than atomic bombs”, and a good one about an awesome Brit from WW2 is “The Real Tank genius of WW2 Percy Hobo Hobart”
I was honored to be a fire control and ABRAMS tanks. I return to service to honor my father-in-law and spent 145 days in, came home in one piece and it was a big deal to do that in honor of my father-in-law who is a pilot in World War II
There is actually a law on the books called the Sullivan Act which addresses having all male children from one family serving together and dying. There is an awesome black and white movie based upon the Sullivan boys. 5 boys who all served together in the Navy and were killed in action. The name of the movie is The Fighting Sullivans. This movie inspired Steven Spielberg to make Saving Private Ryan. I highly recommend watching that movie. It was my late fathers favorite movie and became one of mine.
I love how you reacted over the amount of morphine Lafayette was stuck with the fact that he's trying to take care of himself. I know it's a graphic image of a man trying to cleave his own tattered limb off, but he just got stuck with 3 morphine hits at least. You're really only meant to have 1 and that was in a normal circumstance back then. But you need to react to "Ramage's Rampage" now to get another story of an eye exam cheater who went on to greatness. I really honestly think all militaries around the world should be keeping their eyes out (no pun intended) for those trying to cheat eye exams. They're gonna go far if you let them.
Over 26 years in the US Army I have had to pay for stupid items that I could not find that are so petty, it cost more to process the paperwork to bill me than just write it off. I Still own 2 metal canteen cups and a pistol belt that I ended paying for over the years that were not worth more than a few dollars at the time.I just could not find them when I was transferring units. Now they are just good old memory pieces of my service from back in the day.
In the Mood has a couple meanings ... one of them is very obvious .. and the other is "In the Mood" was a song released by Edgar Hayes & His Orchestra in 1938. In 1983, the Glenn Miller recording from 1939 became a MAJOR hit.
Notice all those rejections were out of the Navy and the Army Air Corps (the Air Force before it separated from the Army). The Navy & Air Force have more strict requirements than the Army and this is because we fight on the sea and in the air, which require a level of technology beyond the Army. The minimum requirements to stay on the sea and in the air are ships and planes. The minimum requirement to stay on land is to stand on 2 legs. So the Navy and Air Force always have more strict requirements for education/intelligence/eyesight than the Army.
I highly recommend watching Fury, my 2nd favorite movie (behind interstellar). Just be warned- it is not a typical war film. It’s made to show the horrors of war and isn’t exactly happy. Great movie though, extremely reccomended
Finding the final remaining brotsir is what Saving Private Ryan is about. It became important to do that after the tragedy that befell the sullivan family. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sullivan_brothers
The U.S. did take sole surviving males and their mothers into consideration. The Sullivan brothers were five brothers from Waterloo, Iowa who served together on the light cruiser USS Juneau. They were all killed in action during and shortly after its sinking around November 13, 1942. After that brothers could not serve in the same unit or on the same ship and pretty much whatever could be done to keep every male member of a family from being killed in action was done.
When can you think of American influence not being a good thing? Widen your minds; it could be government, it could be trade, it could be alliances, are we a force for good?
The "brother" that was sent home due to His brother's death was/is a US militaries policy. Look up the Sullivan Brothers US Navy WWII, that'll explain it all for you.
Here's what you don't onow. . . German tanks were better gunned and better armored that the American M4 Sherman. Having served in the Third Amrmored Cavalry (Fox Troop, 2nd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry - Brave Rifles) I am a student of armor and tank tactics. The thing that made the 76W varient awesome was the high velocity 76mm main gun. A standard M4's main gun rounds would literally bounce off the armor of the Panthers (a medium tank) and the Tiger's were heavy (bigger, stronger) tanks with 88mm high velocity main gun canons. To go toe to toe with german tanks in WWII was suicide. That's how gangster the crew of "In the Mood" was!
During World War II, there was a family of four brothers who requested to be assigned to the same navy ship. Unfortunately, that ship got torpedoed and sank, and all four brothers were killed. In the wake of this tragedy, it was made mandatory that if multiple brothers signed up and served in the military that they wouldn’t be at the same location, or the same unit, or the same ship, just in case, a similar tragedy would ever occur again. The four brothers family was honoured with the name of a destroyer. I forget the name of that destroyer think it was a destroyer. It’s because of that tragedy that the movie saving private Ryan was made about a fictional private Ryan, who was the last member of his family currently alive. That is why Tom Hanks character, and his crew was sent to retrieve him in the first place to get him sent home so that the family name could be preserved.
@@josiahzabel8596 I’m annoyed that I forgot the name…as I’d just watched an operations room video that had The Sullivans ship actually mentioned in a battle…and I had a brain fart and knew they had the ship named after them but the actual name of it…well I was pulling my non existent hair out trying to remember the name. Thank you for reminding me of the name.
@@delgadomd1 thank you for correcting me on the number of brothers, I blame saving private Ryan and being sleep deprived, for my incorrect number of brothers.
My cousin and my son also are legally blind. My cousin was a marine and my son wanted to join the marines. My son wanted to sign before he gratuated high school. I said no because he needed to graduate. He could join after if he wanted, he didnt.
Uhhh… turkey, potatoes (mashed I assume) and peas. Is there going to be gravy for those mashed potatoes? Love and hugs to Archie (hope I got the correct spelling).. liquid Benadryl rubbed on the gums with a frozen binky for those sore little gums as he pushes out those little goofy’s - Hey! I’m a retired Emergency Department nurse, those are real medical terms! Well, sorta… anyways, hugs to all! (Anyways about the terms.. the nurse and ED part is real. Really! I promise!)
Yeah it's kinda a rule in the military. If the family has multiple sons and all of them serve. If all of them but 1 die they will send the last remaining son home to carry on that family. At least it used to be that way. However this clearly wouldn't work if you're an only child so not much they can do there.
There was a new policy adopted by the Pentagon during World War 2. There were 5 brothers named Sullivan that were stationed together on the same ship, fighting in the Pacific Theater. That ship was sunk and went down rapidly, killing almost everyone on board, including the 5 Sullivan Brothers. There was a movie made about them called ‘The Fighting Sullivans’. After the War Department, later renamed the Department of Defense, had to notify their parents that all of their sons were killed in action, in a single event, it was decided, and made policy, that under no circumstances can all of a single family’s sons be stationed together, especially on a naval vessel, and if, under any circumstances, all but one of any family’s sons were killed, the remaining son would be immediately removed from combat operations and sent home. The idea being that if all of their sons were killed, there would be none to carry on their family name. During the American Civil War, many families were left with no Legacy.
Turkey, potato, peas? Ok then. Love everything by the fat electrician. You need to do more reactions for Ray Stevens. Lol I know James has done Mississippi squirrel and the streak, but Millie hasn't. And neither of you has seen Siiting up with the dead, and that's the best one! Just a thought! Love you guys!
It was very important to America in WW2 that only sons and the youngest sons DID NOT go to war. It was so if the US lost, there would still be at least one son to go on and have their own kids to continue the American way of life and not collapse the population
All 5 Sullivan brothers died when their ship sank during WWII .the military changed policy so other families would not face the tragedy of losing all their sons.
Search the reason Abraham Lincoln instituted the last remaining son exemption and the letter he wrote to the mother who lost all her son's in our civil war. You will not regret it!
The entire plot of saving private Ryan is he is the last son of his family tree 🤦♂️one of the war movies almost everyone knows about if they have seen it or not

We were at Ft Hood the first time in 1981, and I believe my Dad got to meet him. He was definitely a local legend in and around Killeen.
In 1986 and 1987 I was in 3/32 armor, 1st Cav. This was Mr. Pool's regiment from WW2. He used to visit the unit regularly.

My cousin and my son also are legally blind. My cousin was a marine and my son wanted to join the marines. My son wanted to sign before he gratuated high school. I said no because he needed to graduate. He could join after if he wanted, he didnt.
Turkey, taters, peas. At least that’s what I heard. Did I countrify it in my mind?
love your show from america

Turkey, potatoes, and peas😂❤
Uhhh… turkey, potatoes (mashed I assume) and peas. Is there going to be gravy for those mashed potatoes? Love and hugs to Archie (hope I got the correct spelling).. liquid Benadryl rubbed on the gums with a frozen binky for those sore little gums as he pushes out those little goofy’s - Hey! I’m a retired Emergency Department nurse, those are real medical terms! Well, sorta… anyways, hugs to all!
(Anyways about the terms.. the nurse and ED part is real. Really! I promise!)
Yeah it's kinda a rule in the military. If the family has multiple sons and all of them serve. If all of them but 1 die they will send the last remaining son home to carry on that family. At least it used to be that way. However this clearly wouldn't work if you're an only child so not much they can do there.
James, have you watched the video FrenchTastic in New Hampshire? If not, you should.
Watching Fury might be a bit too much for you guys right now lol it's pretty gore. But it's definitely a good war movie
Although I never did anything cool or noteworthy, I also cheated on my eye exam. A bunch of times actually lol.
Turkey, potato...WTF? I love the first two, but find the last one unappetizing.
But the whole save the last son is the reason they were trying to save Private Ryan
Turkey, potato, peas... did I hear that right?
There was a new policy adopted by the Pentagon during World War 2.
There were 5 brothers named Sullivan that were stationed together on the same ship, fighting in the Pacific Theater. That ship was sunk and went down rapidly, killing almost everyone on board, including the 5 Sullivan Brothers. There was a movie made about them called ‘The Fighting Sullivans’. After the War Department, later renamed the Department of Defense, had to notify their parents that all of their sons were killed in action, in a single event, it was decided, and made policy, that under no circumstances can all of a single family’s sons be stationed together, especially on a naval vessel, and if, under any circumstances, all but one of any family’s sons were killed, the remaining son would be immediately removed from combat operations and sent home. The idea being that if all of their sons were killed, there would be none to carry on their family name. During the American Civil War, many families were left with no Legacy.
We need a reaction for Sgt Reckless
Turkey, potato, peas? Ok then. Love everything by the fat electrician. You need to do more reactions for Ray Stevens. Lol I know James has done Mississippi squirrel and the streak, but Millie hasn't. And neither of you has seen Siiting up with the dead, and that's the best one! Just a thought! Love you guys!
Turkey, potato, peace?
Turkey potatoes peas 🤪
He had to know. Joe Lewis was right there.
Yea, because boxers don't need good eyesight either ... Uncle Sam must be mad.
It was very important to America in WW2 that only sons and the youngest sons DID NOT go to war. It was so if the US lost, there would still be at least one son to go on and have their own kids to continue the American way of life and not collapse the population
All 5 Sullivan brothers died when their ship sank during WWII .the military changed policy so other families would not face the tragedy of losing all their sons.
Turkey Taters and I pee'd!
Search the reason Abraham Lincoln instituted the last remaining son exemption and the letter he wrote to the mother who lost all her son's in our civil war. You will not regret it!
81 days. Fuck.
