      Senseless violence to stop the boogyman. For every one of our guys that died, hundreds of them died. Civilian, and soldiers alike.

His sensitive, often harrowing portrayal of the plight of those suffering from mental health issues has often brought me to tears. I mean, look at me, am absolutely davastated so I am. 😣

      Dear Tim,
      Have been punched and kicked many times in the head and I was alright.
      But on March 15th Sunday just about the start of the lock down these two Chicago Women, one of them got her wallet stolen when I sent them up to buy their own beer. Now, I was not happy, because they had to fly back to the States in a few days.
      Then Monday 16th I met this real nice London couple.
      We talked, played guitar, I gave him my cans of beer, bummed tobacco off the Man.
      Then at the end he took me down to store to buy me cans of Guinness.
      Then at counter.
      He realised that someone had stolen his wallet. Then when he checked his card on his phone, well, whatever snake did that had already bleeped money out of his account.
      Fuck me.
      I have been punched and kicked in the skull many times,
      But I tell you boy, every time, I remember those two Chicago Women and the London couple getting burgularised.
      Fuck me, that it like a really good punch in the head.
      I feel dazed and stunned and ashamed of myself.
      Am not a happy Man. 😐

    2:53 speaking from experience, those milspec machetes are terrible. In a Medieval melee, maybe not too bad. Stiff blade, capable of parrying, no hand protection tho. For brush you want a long, thin, wide blade. The US military machete is too thick, too heavy, too short, plus the handle is big/poorly shaped. It would be better for chopping down trees and splitting wood, maybe
    Good introduction text, proper historians. The speaking by the narrator was a good clip choice to; from the period and poignant. Good use of footage, tho at times it was tough to hear the song and the people at once. Nice to see some new footage

    Even though I'm from the opposite bloc, and this bloc is communist. But there is something in it. This video and music encourages some feelings. There were enough brave men on both sides. And the main thing is that everyone wants to forget it faster, in the minds of young people. And you can't do that!
