      I’m a disabled veteran, the only one who owes me is the government which I signed a contract with. To call someone Tard shows your complete disregard and lack of respect for certain people I swore an oath to defend. If you have that much hatred in your heart for people I suggest you go see a mental health professional before you hurt someone.

    Marine vet here, thank you for honoring our soldiers, too many of us fall to the wayside unrecognized by many. I lost a knee in the service, but my neighbor, an army vet with 2 tours, lost it all, by his own hand. There was just not enough help to go around. For those who are interested, in Kansas City, we have the Tiny Homes for Vets project. It's a neighborhood of Tiny Houses built by vets for vets who have nowhere else to go. They are given a home, a job, and the help they need. Hundreds of Vets are no longer on the street because of it, and that number is growing.

      Speaking as a Marine Vet, I can say that there are no words to accurately describe what we've been throughc or what we had to do. And, to try and describe it to my own family... to put them through, what I've been through... what I had to do... I just can't do that to them. I only want to protect my family and will do ANYTHING to make sure that they never have to see, or experience, hellish things in life. I only want to keep them pure. I think a lot of other vets feel the same. I hope that my explination of why I can not talk to my family about it, helps you to understand your dad a little better. God Bless, and know that you were worht it.

      Army infantry vet here. I’ve already thought every vet exposed to combat should be required evaluations constantly during mandatory transitional rehabilitation services.
      There should be facilities outside of US and any other civilian populated areas. Services and resources being provided in reaction method fails, has failed, and unless there is preemptive measures, will fail soldiers of every generational war we’ve known and also future generations will have failure predetermined. What were conditioned to do is to prevent that very thing we’re ready to die from it taking place here, but when we’re done that conditioning is similar to expecting a person high on autism spectrum to be productive in a world that neither accommodate. Not only do they not mesh but they furiously repulse each other.
      I’ve written 3 congressmen a couple years ago hoping maybe something would grow out of my thoughts but idk.

    Regarding God being a "She"--this is purely my own personal interpretation, but these lyrics are written from the point of view of a soldier. When an old man faces death, he's most likely to call out to God. When a _young_ man faces death, he's more likely to call out to his Mother.

    I know it might not mean much on here, but please hear me out. I am a veteran, and I did see some things. I also have plates in my legs and skull, and shrapnel throughout my body. I don't think I am a hero by any means, as a lot of the men were either drugged, afraid, or desperate to improve their family situations no matter how. The heroes, to me, were the ones who didn't make it home. Now, when I have a borderline panic attack because of fireworks sounding like shots or explosions.. I get made fun of. America didn't ask me to serve. I did that on my own, because I wanted to feel like I helped people by doing the things I never wanted my people to have to do, and keeping them safe. because of that, I don't ever expect to be thanked. when people thank me, I almost tear up, because of the ones I see in my nightmares who didn't make it home. but I wanted to say thank you for what you did here, and the songwriter. it actually quite touched me.

This song is a beacon of hope for me and lots of fellow veterans, I felt the same way as the people in the music video, In my 9 th year in the service we were deployed in afghanistan on Christmas we had 10 men in the barracks 3 of whom were in my squad,I slept in a ditch that night 2 men who were supposed to be watching guard went out partying with the others who were awake, some taliban threw a grenade into the barracks killed 3 of the closest people I've ever known. I survived with a 1st degree burn on my back. Spent my Christmas Day in England handing out dog tags to the parents of my fellow brothers. I was discharged after the army noticed my mental health I have never felt so useless in my life I was discarded like some piece of rubbish, the only thing that kept me from ending myself are my wife and 2 daughters. I would never have wished my children to have the same fate as me, my father was an army veteran as well 8 years with the British army and 9 years with the SAS he was diagnosed with ptsd I remember that when I was 11 years old he woke up and started strangling me, he meant no intend to harm me he wasn't himself 2 years after the incident he shot himself he couldn't take it anymore.

    I feel this song on so many levels, was homeless for 3 years when I got out PTSD still haunts me hearing screams, gunfire, explosions in your head as your sleeping waking up thinking that you're still in it to only realize it's just your own memories haunting you. The worse dream ever is the sound of a kid screaming as rounds fall the scream sounds like it' literally in your face so of course, you will wake up looking around your house for that scream...........people have no clue. We might come back from the war but the war truly never ends. Nine Line helped me find myself.

      Unless your name is not “Tim Herring” you sir have not received a Purple Heart, so get your stolen valor out of here, if anybody else wants to fact check this, you can go to the Purple Heart hall of fame online and find that his name is not on the list, people like you make me so mad, trying to be something you’re not, there is no excuse for someone to make up lies like this, I’d be willing to bet that any Purple Heart recipient would not openly disclose that in a TH-cam comment, its only people looking for attention, because they know that nobody is gonna call them out on it, stolen valor is actually a criminal offense and I suggest that you stop doing it.

I wish nothing but the best for the Veterans out there and I cant help much either with money but I feel like even just respectful words and a help up like the end of the music video means the world to them! We need to honor them more then just 1 day of the year, and it sucks being out now, I respect every moment of experience I got while being in, thanks Vin and Sori for this video!!

  • @niteranger
    @niteranger 6 ปีที่แล้ว +155

    My father was a 21 year veteran, he joined when I was 3, and we'd always had a very tight family, and then in 91, when I was a senior in high school, he had to go to Iraq.. When he came back, you could just tell something was off. He was never really the same after that, he didnt ever want to talk about it, hid all the pictures he had from over there, and again, he was just never really the same. I really believe he had severe combat PTSD, altho we could never get him to go to the VA for help with it. At times he would just break down and cry, and wish he were dead, and then sometimes he was ok. In the end we lost him to a heart attack in 2012, and every day I think about him, and wish I had the foresight back then to try and make him go to the VA for help. I know that's just hindsight talking but I think it the same nonetheless. Thank you for this and the recognition and Sori really touched my heart with her emotions. God bless you guys.

      @niteranger 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Thanks I would be more than happy on that day to introduce you for sure. Even tho he's been gone since 2012, sometimes the loss feels as fresh as yesterday, cause while I was growing up, for me and my brother and sister, we had Superman living in our home, in our father, and to watch him change after 91, in Iraq, was devastating.

    Almost a 45 minute video for this song. I have watched this music video several dozen times along with reactions. I love this song, music video and it's very deep and impactful message and effect. It still hits me at the end. My dad is a 75yo Vietnam vet, Navy Corpsman and he STILL has his dreams and fights in his sleep. His sleep is often plagued with talking, mumbling, kicking and punching and I wake him sometimes so he can start his sleep over. I am deeply appreciative of you two taking the time in this video to continue with discussion for so long. We all need to realize what war really is and what it does to our people and properly analyze situations to determine if/when war os truly necessary and worth the heavy cost. Our government has become far too comfortable with taking our military who swears their oath to our land of freedom and they throw them into conflicts that we do not belong in, treating our soldiers as of they are nothing but another wrench in the toolbox. I love the way this song points out how iur soldiers return home broke and questioning their entire purpose in taking lives on another country. They often come home asking God if they were a hero or a monster and what where really sent to fight and kill for. Lots of food for thought on this song and video.

    I spent 12 years in the Marine Corps. 5 combat tours. The horrors of war are lost upon those who haven't experienced it. I have nightmares every night. I wake up every morning and contemplate eating a bullet. We vets lose our homes, our minds, our families, all because we can't live with what we've done. The VA doesn't care. The counsellors just try to drug you up and throw you away. People don't understand what it feels like to have the world lie to you. When we put on that uniform, we go over there and shed blood, end lives. They promised us we would be taken care of. All lies. We're shit on. 22 Veterans a day commit suicide because we can't take it anymore.

I have a good friend that served in the Marines for 20 years, and says he was lied to his whole life. By the Marine corps and the government, he also has very hard days trying to find where he belongs and dealing with his daily activities while on tour. Stay strong brother, and I’m so sorry that our loved veterans and being thrown a bottle or bottles of pills for supposedly being cared for. Good luck!

    As a 4 year Navy vet, Thank you for doing this video. It is a moving message considering how our vets are treated today. Much respect to you two. Our combat vets have to make split second decisions and sometimes the consequences of those actions put our combat vets in a very bad place mentally. It is something that haunts them for a lifetime. Some can make peace with it on their own, some need help and the Government doesn't help. Again, Thank you for your thoughts and support.

    I'm not a vet but this song hit hard for me as well, i cried the 1st time I heard this song. My father, grandfather, uncle's, & cousins were in the service. My father was in the army for about 20 yrs, he fought in Vietnam twice. When our soldiers came home not only did a large majority of them have PTSD but they were treated like crap, that gets me mad cuz the way I see it is that back then they didn't have a choice of where they were sent to when they were drafted. I have a lot of respect for all of our soldiers & always will do thank you for reacting to this. I salute & thank all of our soldiers for their service whether they are still with us or not.

    I can't watch this music video without tearing up. I am not a veteran, but I come from a long line of servicemen that offered their lives at the altar of freedom willingly sacrificing themselves for me. These men and women must live every day knowing their brothers and sisters fell beside them for a country that doesn't care about them and even hates them. The wars never ended for these great people, and it's time for us, as recipients of their sacrifice, to fight for them. God, bless our soldiers, and help them to overcome the hell they lived through. And give the rest of us the steeled resolve to lift our warriors out of their pain and help us to praise their sacrifice. Amen

      And the way I read the 'God' and 'Devil' thing was more moralistic? Your good side wonders what you've become, you're no longer 'good' enough to get a place in heaven, since you've killed. And the Devil would then be your bad side, but are you really to blame for your bad side? I mean, you may not belong in heaven, but you surely aren't bad enough to deserve hell. I mean, you stood up for the people and country you love to keep them safe! But you did shed blood for it. I can understand the duality in the mind, where you don't deserve heaven, but don't think you're bad enough for hell either. Which leaves you interestingly, in purgatory, which I think works as a metaphore for being homeless and helpless. You're not dead, but you're not alive either.

    Despite what I feel about this band and the actions of their lead singer, I will give them this song and the awareness it's trying to raise. I come from a military family and was raised with an immense amount of respect for the men and women who choose to serve. In my life I have had the absolute honor and privilege to come to know and deeply love several combat vets. One in particular has become like a brother to me. He's a man that I look up to and am constantly in awe of. However, the acts that he's witnessed and some that he was ordered to commit have left him with horrible PTSD and a whole host of problems. There are many times that I've sat with him while he cried his soul out and questioned why the things that have happened to him had to happen and questioned if he's a good man or not. It breaks my heart on an unspeakable level that he's been left with those problems and the fact that he's left questioning whether or not he's a good man leaves me both destroyed and furious. He's one of the best men I've ever known. The way this country lets down vets is a fucking atrocity. An absolute fucking atrocity. The way we glorify war but demonize the men and women who become warriors...it's unspeakable.
    To any vets watching here:
    I love you.
    I admire you.
    I have your back.
    I may be some random idiot on the internet but I tell you clearly, here and now, if you're ever in a situation where you feel you need someone, anyone, to talk to, I will listen and I will be there for you. I may not support war, but you better damn well believe I support you and I will do so until my dying breath.
    To Vin and Sori - If I hadn't already fallen in love with you two, this video would've done it. It would've done it in a heartbeat. I can't properly explain right now how much this video means to me. The support you've shown, the love you've expressed, is just so damn important and admirable. I may not share your faith but if even one single vet hears your words about Christ and is saved by it, then I will support that with all of my heart. I adore you both. Thank you, again, for being the two beautiful souls you are. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
    So, so, so much love to you both tonight.
    -Jason

Thankfully I have a great support system at home, but a lot of soldiers don't. If any of my fellow Veterans see this post, I run a Facebook page called Veteran AF.

    I had PTSD when I got back. I've come to realize that PTSD is simply a state of denial. A veteran keeps trying to pick up his civilian life where he left off and he's unable to do so. You don't get better from PTSD, you just accept that this is your new life now. I still scan for weapons. I still sit with my back to the corner of the room, watching the entrance. I still look for possible sniper positions. It's not PTSD, it's just what I do now. There were certain ticks I had to get over, like rocking back and forth, the nightmares, and the blinking and twitching, but some stuff is permanent. And personally, I've come to see my "hypervigilance" as a good thing. I'm more prepared than everyone else.

Unfortunately my buddy took his life 3 years ago now and I blame it all on me. I was the big brother to the people i served with. The hardest part for me is my anger. Its like its multipled and I cant sleep and I always wake up sweating and my heart racing. The va just wants me take pills to make me feel better but I refuse it.

      Gone Away - (FFDP cover)

    As a European, i think there could be the other problem. US soldiers was fighting in quite many wars, but that wars were "virtual" for society. Your boys were fighting somewhere, far far away in some place at the end of the world. As a Polish, I can touch, and put my fingers into the bullet holes in buildings, done during WW2 in my city. In Poland we was fighting because we lost families. Our enemies, were on our streets, in our homes. My grandmother was 6 year old when Russia and Germany build front and were fighting near her village. On spring she was looking frozen potatoes on field between dead german and russian bodies. They were so hungry, so they do anything to eat something. In Poland during WW2 we lost 5,8 millions people... kids, wifes, sisters, fathers. Every soldier lost someone, and every soldier wanted only to kill as many german soldiers as he could.
    In US most of wars touch only soldiers and their families. Society don't understand why soldiers have to go to Asia to kill some Asians. Of course government was talking something about peace and destroying communism. But in Los Angeles, Washington, New York and most cities in US, everyone felt quite safe.

    This song... This song hits hard. It's just a very truthful song, poured from their hearts about a problem that, even though my country doesn't really deal with, I can completely understand their point of view. A similar thing was done by August Burns Red (the Christian metalcore band) on their song Ghosts, if you want to check it out.
    My suggestion is a long, slow and emotional journey called Emerald Forest and the Blackbird by Swallow the Sun. Hoping you guys like their style and their lyrics, even though it's fucking sad and depressing ahah

      I'm Portuguese. We have not been in many wars in the past years. We've been in WW1 as allies and we had the Colonial War in countries like Angola, Mozambique and Guinea. We do have war vets from these last ones but not as much as the US has Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and other war vets over the years. My grandfather fought in Mozambique in 1968 and I have a great-uncle (my grandmother's older brother) that fought in Guinea. Both of them could live normal lives after these wars because at the time we had a prime minister who tried to help war vets and they're very thankful to him. Other than that, we don't get involved in many conflicts. For example, we had a revolution in 1974 against the dictatorship started about 20 years before and we didn't even have conflict in that. The government surrendered and democracy was implemented again. We only fight wars when it's extremely necessary to fight back. I mean, Napoleon tried to invade Portugal 3 times and, with some help from the British, he failed all 3.
