John Bobo: "You should have aimed for the head"
You cant make the mortar hit the head accurately
@@BytzDrawz
I witnessed the aftermath of a an air-burst from a 60mm HE M224 in Afghanistan.
Two insurgents had their heads completely removed from their shoulders, and several others died of neck fractures, and massive internal hemorrhaging caused by the concussion wave.
Granted it wasn't intentionally aimed for their heads, but it ended up doing the job.
@@residentelect This is the Vietnam war and tech were less advance
@julian zhou
Cheers for the assist bud 💪
I actually think they trialled the M224 in Vietnam? It was certainly in service with US Forces thought the late seventies and eighties?
As you say, the technology around rangefinding and the explosives adapts over time, but modern mortars still do the exact same job as they did in the 1500s, when the Chinese were lobbing them at one another!

Yo I wanna appreciate their update schedule and how hard they work. Animation is awesome, stories are magical, and the narrator has the perfect voice. I’m also very grateful that I can learn many things and be entertained during these troubling times. So thank you Simple History! :D
Although the information isn’t always 100% correct. It is near astoundingly accurate given how many videos they make, and the quality and speed of which they make them. One of the best history channels out there

I love how at the end of videos showing people like these, it's a flashback to what they were doing in the past. He gave that up so others may live.
I used to be a soldier like you, but then I took a mortar to the knee.
For future reference, many Marines will fight you for calling them “soldier”. That term is reserved for the Army. :-)
@@CastleBravo023 ah ok
Soldier for army, sailor for navy, airmen for air force, marine for marines
@@rienezukana alright gotcha
@@rienezukana But why is it that way? I mean, they are all soldiers aren't they? They are all serving their country in its military but in different branches of its military. And isn't the definition of a soldier someone who serves in the military of their/ another one's country regardless of what branch of they serve in? I get it that those in the Marine Corps refer to themselves as Marines and those in the Air Force as airmen etc. etc. But when you talk about the military as a whole, aren't they all soldiers or am I missing something here?
I like the way the animation is very historically accurate. Even though it is the M-16 rifle that most people associate with the Vietnam War the animated U.S. Marines in this video are carrying M-14 rifles. Now that's attention to detail. This video is set early on in the Vietnam War and therefore prior to M-16 rifles. 👍

It's because the men like him that we have enjoyed the freedoms that we have I'm glad to say that I served in the Marine Corps just like he did even though it has made me a much different person sometimes in ways that are different from other people I have adapted over time and just hope people understand what it takes to have freedom!

He was attended by a Corpsman, not a medic. That's as important as the distinction between Marines and soldiers. Kinda important to recognize, and is why his (and all Marine) Medal of Honor citations mention "the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service."

"It is as though some old part of yourself wakes up in you, terrified, useless in the life you have, its skills and habits destructive but intact, and what is left of the present you, the person you have become, wilts and shrivels in sadness or despair: the person you have become is only a thin shell over this other, more electric and endangered self. The strongest, the least digested parts of your experience can rise up and put you back where you were when they occurred; all the rest of you stands back and weeps."
-Peter Straub
I wholly appreciate these Medal of Honor stories.
