To watch these veterans and then be so dismissive and disrespectful to post only this comment. You should be ashamed of you lack of humanity, empathy, and kindness. All you care about is your thoughts and feelings?!?!
It was literal garbage to a point. That first Black lady was lying through her teeth. Shooting a 50. cal everyday? Even funnier,while she is saying it she is pictured in a truck LOL. Also,there is no front line. There has not been one since WWI.
if youre talking about america, theyre not protecting them. america is not in war. theyre not protecting america theyre going to other countries and try to fight someone elses fight. the last war in america was in like 1975 and im pretty sure most of these people wasnt old enough to fight then so.... they have never protected america

There are so many issues our Veterans are dealing with that most people just don't understand. TBI-Traumatic Brain Injury PTSD-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder MST-Military Sexual Trauma (both men & women) these are just 3 of a long list. I'm a Caregiver to an Army Medic Veteran. I go to our local VA at least 1-3 times a week. I see so many of our Veterans who are in programs trying to just learn to deal with everyday life and being a civilian again. It's harder than you think. I didn't understand how much our military men and women go through. It's incredible! I'm honored to just be able to have some small part in helping each person I can. The problem I find, is a lot of people don't know the programs are there or end up on a waiting list. What's even worse are the ones I've seen turned away because they don't qualify for the program. (that's really f'd up) If a person seeks help and gets turned away....ugh! we are losing 22-23 Veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY to SUICIDE!
I deal with PTSD because of a bad car crash in which I almost lost my life, and it affects your daily life in a major way. I, luckily, have gotten it somewhat under control, but every time the car swerves a little or hits the brakes a little too fast or another car gets slightly too close, I, without realizing it, grip my seatbelt and tuck my legs up and my head in and hold my breath. I can’t even drive. It’s definitely gotten better though, I used to not be able to cross a suburb street or even ride in a car without panic attacks. Basically, my point is, this is a huge comment, because these things are debilitating and major issues. Barely any of the comment section is acknowledging this either. We need to support veterans dealing with these illnesses to help them live their best life. Thanks for the reality check. :^) edit: that’s also really messed up about people not “qualifying” for the program
"and you're like heroes don't get people killed" wow that was a powerful line. glad to see military soldiers talk about things from the perspective of the "other side"... which is the civilians they occupied. I have a Iraqi friend who lost her leg when she was a kid from a bomb that went off near her house.... the bomb was from the U.S military....
It's sad that everyone's talking about how they thought this was about veterinarians rather than the actual video. There are some interesting perspectives that I never would've realized on my own and people should actually pay attention to.
Sophie Poor yea, from looking at the thumbnail, I knew they were veterans. I would've been confused if there was a dog and a person in a doctor coat in the thumbnail. but yea, ppl need to stay on topic!
Sophie Poor To be fair it is more serious than their usual stuff so I think it's understandable that people get thrown a bit. Not that I'm complaining. Glad to see this video.
For all my fellow vets we're all family no matter who, what, or where we served. There are some things I never want to think about and yet they haunt me every single day. But knowing I'm not alone was the first step. So even though we've all heard it a million times from one veteran to the next, thank you.
Thank you! I'm no veteran, but ik from my grandpa, a Holocaust survivor (with PTSD) that the struggle never stops. Never give up the fight, and never give up who you are. Thank you sooo much for everything that you have done. I really want to say that I can sympathize with you strong, brave, and beautiful people. But I really can't, and I really can't stress how much I want to appreciate you and all those who have served and those who have died. I thank you so much, ans I am very very proud. Someday I hope to make someone else that proud, whether I go to combat or to an office building. I just want to know how much I love every single one of you guys. And it pains me to see people being cast away by society after coming back from something that society could never understand. I wish that veterans would wear their hats everyday so I could talk to them when I meet them. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!! ♥️
I worked at a place that helps soldiers in Israel with rehab and issues related to PTSD and I think that PTSD is one of the most traumatic things that a person can go through. People come back from fighting overseas and they've lost hands or arms or legs but if you have PTSD, you lose your mind and there's no prosthetic for that
Wow, you are so right. There is no prosthetic for your mind. Only therapy and you are never quite the same person you were before, no matter how much therapy you get.
These people are heroes. I don't really care what they have to say or if they think they aren't heroes. They are. They're the bravest men and women in this country and they risk life and limb to protect us, and they lose that gamble far more often than anyone would like. God bless these people and every other veteran out there. And thanks to Buzzfeed for giving them a platform to say these things. It's rare that I ever agree with Buzzfeed, but I'm glad that we can find common ground when it comes to respecting and helping our veterans.
The man that said he isn't a hero thinks that because he has killed someone for his country. He's a hero to this country and just this country. Think of it this way. If a man is in a position were he has to choose to either kill his daughter or some innocent man and he killed that man to save his daughter,the daughter would see him as a hero. But that's only to her. He had to kill an innocent man. A man with his own family and loved ones and he just took everything from him. The daughter would see him as a hero but the loved ones of the man he killed wouldn't. He's not "a" hero, he's his daughters hero. If you're the daughter of the man that had been killed, would you see the man that saved his own daughter by your father as a hero? I think this is what he means and what other veterans mean when they say they aren't hero's.
Hero is a subjective term. For example Americans may see there soldiers as "heroes" and the "enemies" as evil, but it is the complete opposite in the "enemies" country. The so called "enemies" are defending their country and families and people and our troops are killing them. Everything anyone experiences due to involvement of any kind in the army is experienced the same way by the people of another country. They are all humans as well.
How can all these people think this title is about veterinarians?? It clearly says Wounded Warrior in it and has an icon lower right of the WW on the thumbnail.
Fizzy Lifting Drink Because people want to desperately get likes on their comments; they're not clever enough to come up with something actually intellectual. It's a shame, because this video had a wonderful message and it just went straight over these people's heads.
Kinda sad about how few comments are talking about these amazing people and what they did for our country, but the majority is about how people thought veterans meant animal doctors...
Haley TV I think that for everyone outside the US (including myself) veterinarians might be what fist comes to mind when you hear the word 'vets'. Most countries don't have that 'war veteran' community like you do.
Haley TV No worries. I still completely get your point though. Any american watching this should know better than to joke around with this serious matter.
"No one should have to lose their life to war after they've come home from the war." That is beautiful and sad and so true. Great video, thank you. I'm putting this on my FB wall.
I was a Vietnam era Army medic. All these years later, I still get emotional about the ones I couldn't save. You're absolutely correct in saying we're not heroes; we were just doing what we were trained to do, and, for me, it was an honor to serve my country. Sometimes it flusters me when people find out I'm a veteran and thank me for my service, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.
I hate war but always support the troops not down with the guys who send them to war but I admire and support the ones who gave service to this great nation Thank you My uncle was in desert storm we were so proud of him

All this animal vet comments are annoying. Don't people look at other comments before commenting themselves? Then they would have seen 1000+ other people commented the same exact thing they are going to comment. Jeez.
576 people click thumbs down on this? I have no words for them! But for the Veterans and the 12,000+ who gave this a thumbs up I say Thank You!!! Our Vets deserve more! God bless you all and God bless America!! 🇺🇸🙌🏼
This is part of the reason why I joined the Army National Guard. I wanted to serve because others have done it for me. Complete strangers who I don't know. It's sort of like returning the favor. They are my heroes, and I aspire to live up to them. Thank you for your service.
Thank you Buzzfeed for sharing these stories! I also hate to be that person, but Wounded Warrior Project is a pretty shady organization. There are local organizations in every community making real change for veterans in your own neighborhood, so I encourage everyone to seek them out if you would like to support veterans!
jpage813 I personally support the American Legion because it's Veterans helping Veterans, but it nice to know other people also point out that wound warrior is super shady
This is so amazing me and my class made Veterans Day cards and I went all out in making the card show how thankful I am. Everything I did on that card won’t show how thankful for everyone who helped keep our country safe. I hope a veteran sees this, and if they do THANK YOU
I love all these people, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I can sit in my living room with an old western on the TV while my dad sleeps because of the sacrifices you gentlemen and ladies have made, may God bless your souls and your lives for evermore
I want to truly thank all of you for your service! I have veterans in my own family as well and I am so grateful for their safe return. I pray for you all. God bless you.
Thank you to all our VA vets. We love and appreciate all the ways you have kept us safe. We are sorry for your inner and outer battle scars. May you heal daily from the traumas you lived through everyday while on active duty. God Bless you all and God Bless Wounded Warrior Project!!! Thank you for helping our veterans to heal and live again!!!
One of my friends took his life while he was in the military, to him he felt like he was worthless there because he was the only one of the senior class that went into the military. I miss him so much but his family is getting better.
I think this is the first video buzzfeed has made that I actually have respect for. thank you to all the veterans who have served our country and kept us free!
I'v been reading through these comments and I have to say that I am extremley disappointed. people say that our AMERICAN soldiers aren't there to protect us, I think you need to educate yourselves on how much crap they protect us from, nuclear weaponry, terrorists etc. I just want to say, thank you to all of the men and women who have risked/given there lives to our country and its people(even if half of them don't understand what you go through every day to make sure that we are all protected)
hey brittany, soldiers in iraq are not keeping americans safe, or free, or any of the lies that republicans tell you in order to justify giving the pentagon 800 billion dollars a year
As someone who spent six years in the Navy, I can provide anecdotal evidence that most people I met in the military joined because they wanted to keep people safe. Once in, it became clear pretty fast that our purpose was not to protect citizens, but to protect the government.
Brittany Ferren I e read your comment and I have to say that I am extremely disappointed. You say that our AMERICAN soldiers are here to protect us, I think you need to educate yourself on how much they do the opposite, stealing resources from countries, killing civilians, serving the government and its interests purely, etc. I just want to say that when you sit here and tell people they aren't educated, but you only know the things you read from the titles of news articles and you don't look for actually facts or haven't experienced what it's like to serve, you are being disgusting.
More of this please! Or can you make another video like an hour long? This was so interesting and it really opens your eyes. And I feel like it could maybe even help some veterans who are struggling, to be able to sit down and tell people how they feel and what it was really like for them... maybe? Idk I am not a vet, but thank you to all who are. And if they are willing or wanting to talk I would love to sit here and listen.
To a vet, from a vet, thank you! Thank you for serving to keep us strong & free, and for carrying on the military tradition. You younger vets make me proud to be a vet. Fred
Ikr? I mean, definitely some of us drank the kool-aid, but never have I met group of people that have both a intimate knowledge and burning hatred of how the government works than my fellow soldiers.
We were not brainwashed. We were taught to be “driven and focused “ to the point everything becomes automatic and adapt as needed. Don’t feel sorry for us, we don’t sympathy. Just try and understand us , just except us.
@@MustangGuru im in the military foul lol.. 1st we don't fight for freedom.. we fight for a NEW WORLD ORDER. That flag u see as an American flag is not.. thats how far yhe brainwashing is.. as a fellow human.. U need to watch 3 city states that rule the world... wr work for the queen and tha Vatican.. yah brainwashed to think we fight for freedom!!
Thank you, folks. I spent 15 years caring for veterans and they are truly special people. PTSD is real, it is awful and the public needs to understand it and respect it.
It is good for me to hear fellow Veterans talking about the invisible wounds that we battle with. People look and see what they think is a normal, functioning person but don’t realize what you are dealing with inside your head.
how dare you disregard the entire video and comment about veterinarians. the people in this video are real people who have suffered real things and have served their country. the least you can do is not be so damn self centered and comment something idiotic like this.
This is a very serious video, on a very serious topic and it really does deserve attention and concern and understanding. Yet every comment below is about Veterinarians, and many are even about being disappointed. Come on people, this is something that need attention and needs to be discussed and shared, can we give it some of the time and attention it deserves? Please?
I know the people in the video probably will not see this, but thank you. thank you for keeping the country safe. thank you for protecting our rights. thank you for helping other countries when they need it more than us. THANK YOU anybody who served in our military. one of my middle school teachers told us to always say go up to veterans and say 'thank you for your service' im still in 8th grade and have been hearing for 3 year now. but ive recently started to understand why its important, they are not just sitting there with weapons, they are working to keep us safe, to help other countries in their wars, to protect our rights, and to do good for our country to anyone who has served for our country, thank you, for all you have done, and what you will continue to do
thank you for this video. i showed this to my dad, a veteran, and he nearly was brought to tears. im so glad that my dad is here. and i’m sorry for the ones who lost. their lives came with great cost. 💛
Another increment in informing those of us who haven't, cannot, know what veterans have experienced and survived. Thank you for sharing your stories, for being part of the ongoing dialogue.
Bless all of y'all for serving. My heart-sister, her husband, and their two sons are veterans. It's not easy for any of them. She has a labyrinth built in her back yard. It's called The Walk of the Fallen, and she honors each veteran whose life is lost by walking it in their name. None whose name is found is forgotten.
I am more grateful for every single one of you, than I can find the words to describe. I thank you for putting your life on the line, so I can close my eyes and sleep. Thank you for keeping me safe, thank you for keeping my children safe, thank you for keeping my grandchildren safe and making it possible for their children to grow up feeling safe as well. It takes a special person to dedicate themselves to serve their country, It's a call that is answered by heros everyday. You are all heros to me, God Bless every single one of you!!!
Thank you to every person on this video or out there, your service is insurmountable and the military gave my family what it has today. So thank you for your service, and remember, whether you think you're a hero or nit, you are a Hero to this country.
"Veterans" is different from "veterinarians" people. If they typed in "Vets", that, I would understand. But they typed in Veterans so why're y'all confused? I'm confused
@Bryan Miller boo hoo my dog died of a brain tumor that was growing for 2 years and the vets didn't notice a god damn thing. Idiots I swear, complete buffoons. They just milked us for our money. I respect Veterans more than veterinarians, because they actually care about me and my pets safety by serving.
Bryan Miller you are genuinely disgusting. Putting people down because they chose to save animals lives instead of murder other actual humans and call it "protection" true protection wouldn't require fighting and loss of lives. We wouldn't need to sacrifice so, so many lives if countries and governments truly protected us by making treaties, or just not fighting period, if they were smart enough to learn all things can be accomplished with peace and violence isn't necessary. You keep sitting there with your SJW undies pulled nice and tight, telling yourself you're a good person because even though you are putting tens of thousands of people down, you are "defending" a couple others.
I'm planning on enlisting into the military to serve my country the best I can. I don't know what I'll experience when I come back but I do know that there will be other veterans who I'll be able to relate and connect to to keep me going. Life is a battle, but that doesn't mean we need to go into it alone. I want to thank all veterans for their dedication and service. It will never be forgotten.
I’m impressed. Honestly, I thought that BuzzFeed would use these vets to campaign for their views (right, wrong or indifferent) but they didn’t. They conveyed a serious message about veteran mental health and PTSS. Hats off to you for not making Veterans Day political, I truly appreciate it.
Thank you to all those who served and are serving our country. This video was a great lesson on how to treat our vets, with compassion and respect, and also a small window into what some of them have been through.
Four daughters all married to Marines Forest son-in-laws gave service. Each one of those men have served and sacrificed some of them came home , one of them came home but did not. I love each and every man and woman that served. I thank you for your sacrifice.
As a military child, with siblings serving/having had served in the military, I have a deep respect for military members - active and retired. These people are amazing.
I wasn't sure if it was veterans or vets like an animal doctor. You never know with BuzzFeed but the video was nice. As a Veteran myself, I hope these people get the proper therapy that is needed.
I thank everyone in this video a happy veterans day and thank anyone who served for their service. it's good to see people from the military starting to speak up about what happens to them on the return to "normal Life". To any vet that sees this video and happens across my comment, thank you as well for your service and I hope your privet life can be all you want it to be and more. Cheers!
you have the vegetarians, the veterinarians, the veterans, and then the people you can't read or tell the difference between them... lol. I'm guilty of it. But this video is still truly amazing and it's important for people to understand some of these concepts.
I am a Army 20 year veteran. It is so different now than it was in 1976. I was called a baby killer. I had never been out of the US. Those two words hurt a lot. I was 17 years old then. To all of the veterans Thank you for your service!
''The war is a place where young people who do not know each other and not hate each other, kill each other by the decision of old people who know each other and hate each other but do not kill each other''.
So many people thought it was about animal doctors. P.S I really liked this video P.P.S I've done the 21 for 21 push up challenge. You should do it too. You do 21 push-ups a day for 21 days to support the 21 solders who suicide.
Thank you Buzzfeed, our military and veterans are the backbone of this great nation which many take for granted. I always assist veterans as much as I can. My son is a former Sgt in the Marines (MOS 0331) and my brother was in the Navy (SWCC) they came home but PTSD is a real condition as a nation we can't let them down, since they never let us down. Semper fi and honor our military veterans this Veterans day.
This helped me understand what my dad and the other men in my life who have gone to war been through. In a year and a half i will be serving in he Navy and being the first female in my family to serve. THANK YOU for all of ur service.

Wow, you are so right. There is no prosthetic for your mind. Only therapy and you are never quite the same person you were before, no matter how much therapy you get.
Dont worry Dayna, these are just children who do not know what really goes on outside in the real world.
at least they get a free ride for life
Video comments:
90% thinking they meant animal veterinarians
10% getting mad at the 90% for commenting that.
switch them
Wow so I guess buzzfeed fans don't give a fuck about the military. This is very encouraging :/
These people are heroes. I don't really care what they have to say or if they think they aren't heroes. They are. They're the bravest men and women in this country and they risk life and limb to protect us, and they lose that gamble far more often than anyone would like. God bless these people and every other veteran out there.
And thanks to Buzzfeed for giving them a platform to say these things. It's rare that I ever agree with Buzzfeed, but I'm glad that we can find common ground when it comes to respecting and helping our veterans.
The man that said he isn't a hero thinks that because he has killed someone for his country. He's a hero to this country and just this country. Think of it this way. If a man is in a position were he has to choose to either kill his daughter or some innocent man and he killed that man to save his daughter,the daughter would see him as a hero. But that's only to her. He had to kill an innocent man. A man with his own family and loved ones and he just took everything from him. The daughter would see him as a hero but the loved ones of the man he killed wouldn't. He's not "a" hero, he's his daughters hero. If you're the daughter of the man that had been killed, would you see the man that saved his own daughter by your father as a hero? I think this is what he means and what other veterans mean when they say they aren't hero's.
Hero is a subjective term. For example Americans may see there soldiers as "heroes" and the "enemies" as evil, but it is the complete opposite in the "enemies" country. The so called "enemies" are defending their country and families and people and our troops are killing them. Everything anyone experiences due to involvement of any kind in the army is experienced the same way by the people of another country. They are all humans as well.
Thank you all for your service
When I read the title, I thought by vets they meant animal doctors 😅

God bless you all!! Thanks for serving our country. ❤️💜
How can all these people think this title is about veterinarians?? It clearly says Wounded Warrior in it and has an icon lower right of the WW on the thumbnail.
I know thank you lord someone else who understands 😂 after the thousandth and counting person who put the same comment, it's getting so old..
Well I got a notification so I didn't see the thumbnail, nor was the title completed in the notification.
Fizzy Lifting Drink Because people want to desperately get likes on their comments; they're not clever enough to come up with something actually intellectual. It's a shame, because this video had a wonderful message and it just went straight over these people's heads.
Within the amount of time people see the video and decide to click, the information processed is skewed most of the time
They probably thought it said vetitnarian lol! Smh
I clicked on this to see what vets had to tell me about my sick pet I'm
freya moir same here
freya moir and if your pet is sick, I hope it gets well soon
same
LMAO SAMEE
freya moir haha same
Best video Buzzfeed had made a while.
newharmony85 i thought the man spreading one was pretty good
Completely Agree With You!!!! You Are 100% Right!!!!
Kinda sad about how few comments are talking about these amazing people and what they did for our country, but the majority is about how people thought veterans meant animal doctors...
fyrick24 oh, haha okie
Haley TV I think that for everyone outside the US (including myself) veterinarians might be what fist comes to mind when you hear the word 'vets'. Most countries don't have that 'war veteran' community like you do.
Super Moosie I didn't know that, thank you for telling me.
Haley TV No worries. I still completely get your point though. Any american watching this should know better than to joke around with this serious matter.
High School Vlogger these are buzzfeed fans
"No one should have to lose their life to war after they've come home from the war." That is beautiful and sad and so true. Great video, thank you. I'm putting this on my FB wall.
I was a Vietnam era Army medic. All these years later, I still get emotional about the ones I couldn't save. You're absolutely correct in saying we're not heroes; we were just doing what we were trained to do, and, for me, it was an honor to serve my country. Sometimes it flusters me when people find out I'm a veteran and thank me for my service, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.
Thank you for your service.
Elayna Spath you’re welcome
I hate war but always support the troops not down with the guys who send them to war but I admire and support the ones who gave service to this great nation Thank you My uncle was in desert storm we were so proud of him
Thanks.

down here we have
90% I THOUGHT THEY WERE ANIMAL VETS !
10% normal comments
ASAYousef you should be top comment so incoming viewers will know what's ahead haha
All this animal vet comments are annoying. Don't people look at other comments before commenting themselves? Then they would have seen 1000+ other people commented the same exact thing they are going to comment. Jeez.
YouShotMyRobot Yeah. That's why those comments have got more likes than this one. -_-
ASAYousef they changed the name to veterans
576 people click thumbs down on this? I have no words for them! But for the Veterans and the 12,000+ who gave this a thumbs up I say Thank You!!! Our Vets deserve more! God bless you all and God bless America!! 🇺🇸🙌🏼
This is part of the reason why I joined the Army National Guard. I wanted to serve because others have done it for me. Complete strangers who I don't know. It's sort of like returning the favor. They are my heroes, and I aspire to live up to them. Thank you for your service.
Buzzfeed is running low on good videos lately. This is one of those few good videos.
Thank you Buzzfeed for sharing these stories! I also hate to be that person, but Wounded Warrior Project is a pretty shady organization. There are local organizations in every community making real change for veterans in your own neighborhood, so I encourage everyone to seek them out if you would like to support veterans!
jpage813 I personally support the American Legion because it's Veterans helping Veterans, but it nice to know other people also point out that wound warrior is super shady
This is so amazing me and my class made Veterans Day cards and I went all out in making the card show how thankful I am. Everything I did on that card won’t show how thankful for everyone who helped keep our country safe. I hope a veteran sees this, and if they do THANK YOU
I love all these people, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I can sit in my living room with an old western on the TV while my dad sleeps because of the sacrifices you gentlemen and ladies have made, may God bless your souls and your lives for evermore
The people in this video no matter what race or sex I salute you all for your service
PatWick Taking that virtue signal to 11 aren't you?
my dad was in the Army and its sad how people don't realize the things that happen. My dad is disabled and has all his limbs
Kylie Hecker, My dad was an Army Veteran also 1985-2005. Never WIA, but experienced plenty of combat as an Infantryman.

I want to truly thank all of you for your service! I have veterans in my own family as well and I am so grateful for their safe return. I pray for you all. God bless you.
Thank you to all our VA vets. We love and appreciate all the ways you have kept us safe. We are sorry for your inner and outer battle scars. May you heal daily from the traumas you lived through everyday while on active duty. God Bless you all and God Bless Wounded Warrior Project!!! Thank you for helping our veterans to heal and live again!!!
These r the videos i want buzz feed to post
One of my friends took his life while he was in the military, to him he felt like he was worthless there because he was the only one of the senior class that went into the military. I miss him so much but his family is getting better.
I just donated to the project. To all you veterans, I appreciate the sacrifice you made and you are not alone.
Clicked for animal doctors, stayed for war veterans. Thank you for your service!!!
theres a special person in my life that currently serves in the army, and this video made me understand this person's situation a lot more
These are the only people that can say they're triggered. Ironic that Buzzfeed made this
I, as well as the 39,700+ others who went south and joined up in the 1960s, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your service!
I think this is the first video buzzfeed has made that I actually have respect for. thank you to all the veterans who have served our country and kept us free!
I'v been reading through these comments and I have to say that I am extremley disappointed. people say that our AMERICAN soldiers aren't there to protect us, I think you need to educate yourselves on how much crap they protect us from, nuclear weaponry, terrorists etc. I just want to say, thank you to all of the men and women who have risked/given there lives to our country and its people(even if half of them don't understand what you go through every day to make sure that we are all protected)
hey brittany, soldiers in iraq are not keeping americans safe, or free, or any of the lies that republicans tell you in order to justify giving the pentagon 800 billion dollars a year
As someone who spent six years in the Navy, I can provide anecdotal evidence that most people I met in the military joined because they wanted to keep people safe. Once in, it became clear pretty fast that our purpose was not to protect citizens, but to protect the government.
Brittany Ferren thank you for your support. 👍🏻
Brittany Ferren I e read your comment and I have to say that I am extremely disappointed. You say that our AMERICAN soldiers are here to protect us, I think you need to educate yourself on how much they do the opposite, stealing resources from countries, killing civilians, serving the government and its interests purely, etc. I just want to say that when you sit here and tell people they aren't educated, but you only know the things you read from the titles of news articles and you don't look for actually facts or haven't experienced what it's like to serve, you are being disgusting.
More of this please! Or can you make another video like an hour long? This was so interesting and it really opens your eyes. And I feel like it could maybe even help some veterans who are struggling, to be able to sit down and tell people how they feel and what it was really like for them... maybe? Idk I am not a vet, but thank you to all who are. And if they are willing or wanting to talk I would love to sit here and listen.
my dad was a USMC this video literally made me cry RIP to my dad and other fallen men/women and thank you so much for your service
Welcome home....and thank you for your service and for all you had and have to go through...from a Vietnam vet who made it back lucky to be here. 👍❤️
God bless them.
I thought they meant vets as in the Doctor that specializes in animals
same...
I'm so glad that wasn't just me!
same
You guys are such liberals.
How tho?
I really appreciate that they fought for our country because I couldn't imagine doing that. Thank you!
To a vet, from a vet, thank you!
Thank you for serving to keep us strong & free, and for carrying on the military tradition.
You younger vets make me proud to be a vet.
Fred
Thank you for your service. Happy Holidays.
One comment I hate that people assume of us in the military is that we're brainwashed smh
Ikr? I mean, definitely some of us drank the kool-aid, but never have I met group of people that have both a intimate knowledge and burning hatred of how the government works than my fellow soldiers.
Um u r brainwashed.. look up 3 city states on TH-cam and u can thank me later..
We were not brainwashed. We were taught to be “driven and focused “ to the point everything becomes automatic and adapt as needed.
Don’t feel sorry for us, we don’t sympathy. Just try and understand us , just except us.
@@MustangGuru im in the military foul lol.. 1st we don't fight for freedom.. we fight for a NEW WORLD ORDER. That flag u see as an American flag is not.. thats how far yhe brainwashing is.. as a fellow human.. U need to watch 3 city states that rule the world... wr work for the queen and tha Vatican.. yah brainwashed to think we fight for freedom!!
@@JPTAG33 I think you're the one that's brainwashed
Thank you, folks. I spent 15 years caring for veterans and they are truly special people. PTSD is real, it is awful and the public needs to understand it and respect it.
It is good for me to hear fellow Veterans talking about the invisible wounds that we battle with. People look and see what they think is a normal, functioning person but don’t realize what you are dealing with inside your head.
Please do one of these on family members or spouses of veterans! I think there are a lot of misconceptions around them also
Dammit, I was excited to see veterinarians. Make one for that!!
Disrespectful
+spooky jim buddy thats the world

how dare you disregard the entire video and comment about veterinarians. the people in this video are real people who have suffered real things and have served their country. the least you can do is not be so damn self centered and comment something idiotic like this.
Can you read the comments before you make a post? There are already hundreds of your comment
This is a very serious video, on a very serious topic and it really does deserve attention and concern and understanding. Yet every comment below is about Veterinarians, and many are even about being disappointed. Come on people, this is something that need attention and needs to be discussed and shared, can we give it some of the time and attention it deserves? Please?
I know the people in the video probably will not see this, but thank you. thank you for keeping the country safe. thank you for protecting our rights. thank you for helping other countries when they need it more than us. THANK YOU anybody who served in our military.
one of my middle school teachers told us to always say go up to veterans and say 'thank you for your service' im still in 8th grade and have been hearing for 3 year now. but ive recently started to understand why its important, they are not just sitting there with weapons, they are working to keep us safe, to help other countries in their wars, to protect our rights, and to do good for our country
to anyone who has served for our country, thank you, for all you have done, and what you will continue to do
to the men and women of all military branches past and present. thank you 4 your service all around the world
I just want to hug them all
Hilda U. same
thank you for this video. i showed this to my dad, a veteran, and he nearly was brought to tears. im so glad that my dad is here. and i’m sorry for the ones who lost. their lives came with great cost. 💛
Another increment in informing those of us who haven't, cannot, know what veterans have experienced and survived. Thank you for sharing your stories, for being part of the ongoing dialogue.
4 people liked this video so much they turned their phone around and liked again
After I found out that this vid was not about animal doctors. I wasn't dissapointed at all.
Bless all of y'all for serving. My heart-sister, her husband, and their two sons are veterans. It's not easy for any of them. She has a labyrinth built in her back yard. It's called The Walk of the Fallen, and she honors each veteran whose life is lost by walking it in their name. None whose name is found is forgotten.
I am more grateful for every single one of you, than I can find the words to describe. I thank you for putting your life on the line, so I can close my eyes and sleep. Thank you for keeping me safe, thank you for keeping my children safe, thank you for keeping my grandchildren safe and making it possible for their children to grow up feeling safe as well. It takes a special person to dedicate themselves to serve their country, It's a call that is answered by heros everyday. You are all heros to me, God Bless every single one of you!!!
it's so cool seeing the women who have served
Anthony hacic i bet all of them got at least 2 people ninja punched
Yeah serving me my sandwich
So it seems like I'm not the only one who expected this video to be about veterinarians...
Thank you to every person on this video or out there, your service is insurmountable and the military gave my family what it has today. So thank you for your service, and remember, whether you think you're a hero or nit, you are a Hero to this country.
It was really powerful when the man said, "heroes don't get people killed". Really puts a perspective on how our vets see things.
Don't judge a book by its cover :)
Kaushik Jegath got em!
That’s kinda how I judge wether or not I’m gonna buy a book
The back cover talks about the book
Reath Greed still a cover ;)
"Veterans" is different from "veterinarians" people. If they typed in "Vets", that, I would understand. But they typed in Veterans so why're y'all confused? I'm confused
it was vets before, they changed it
@Bryan Miller boo hoo my dog died of a brain tumor that was growing for 2 years and the vets didn't notice a god damn thing. Idiots I swear, complete buffoons. They just milked us for our money. I respect Veterans more than veterinarians, because they actually care about me and my pets safety by serving.
Bryan Miller you are genuinely disgusting. Putting people down because they chose to save animals lives instead of murder other actual humans and call it "protection" true protection wouldn't require fighting and loss of lives. We wouldn't need to sacrifice so, so many lives if countries and governments truly protected us by making treaties, or just not fighting period, if they were smart enough to learn all things can be accomplished with peace and violence isn't necessary. You keep sitting there with your SJW undies pulled nice and tight, telling yourself you're a good person because even though you are putting tens of thousands of people down, you are "defending" a couple others.
I'm planning on enlisting into the military to serve my country the best I can. I don't know what I'll experience when I come back but I do know that there will be other veterans who I'll be able to relate and connect to to keep me going. Life is a battle, but that doesn't mean we need to go into it alone. I want to thank all veterans for their dedication and service. It will never be forgotten.
I’m impressed. Honestly, I thought that BuzzFeed would use these vets to campaign for their views (right, wrong or indifferent) but they didn’t. They conveyed a serious message about veteran mental health and PTSS. Hats off to you for not making Veterans Day political, I truly appreciate it.
Am I the only one who knew they were talking about actual marines and soldiers? No, just me? Kk
yeah nearly 800k views and you're the only one that can read
You forgot the sailors and airmen😥
I guess the coasties too, if you wanna count Uncle Sam's Canoe Club
I see it.. separating Marines from Soldiers 😜... Light & Love to ALL. Namaste.

I am so done with comments like this. All you have to do is look a little past the surface, the original title just said "vets".
My dog is ill, and when I looked for help this popped up.😦
God bless the Vets! Thank you for all that you do. Love yous!
Thank you to all those who served and are serving our country. This video was a great lesson on how to treat our vets, with compassion and respect, and also a small window into what some of them have been through.
This will certainly help BuzzFeed after that man spreading video.
ikr
@@zt818 When are they going to make a video having people in line back into women because of their boob-pressing? Equal fights for equal rights.
Wow. You guys are amazing, and so strong. I wish I could hug you, if that'd be okay, of course.
Four daughters all married to Marines Forest son-in-laws gave service. Each one of those men have served and sacrificed some of them came home , one of them came home but did not.
I love each and every man and woman that served. I thank you for your sacrifice.
As a military child, with siblings serving/having had served in the military, I have a deep respect for military members - active and retired. These people are amazing.
Who else thought that it was vets as in the animal doctors😂
Very moving video though ❤️
I wasn't sure if it was veterans or vets like an animal doctor. You never know with BuzzFeed but the video was nice. As a Veteran myself, I hope these people get the proper therapy that is needed.
Thank You all for serving and for serving in the Project!
I thank everyone in this video a happy veterans day and thank anyone who served for their service. it's good to see people from the military starting to speak up about what happens to them on the return to "normal Life". To any vet that sees this video and happens across my comment, thank you as well for your service and I hope your privet life can be all you want it to be and more. Cheers!
it would be nice if you changed vets for veterans
Coco _ vets means veterans so no
you have the vegetarians, the veterinarians, the veterans, and then the people you can't read or tell the difference between them... lol. I'm guilty of it. But this video is still truly amazing and it's important for people to understand some of these concepts.
This must be a hard word group for people who are studying English....
I am a Army 20 year veteran. It is so different now than it was in 1976. I was called a baby killer. I had never been out of the US. Those two words hurt a lot. I was 17 years old then. To all of the veterans Thank you for your service!
''The war is a place where young people who do not know each other and not hate each other, kill each other by the decision of old people who know each other and hate each other but do not kill each other''.
So many people thought it was about animal doctors.
P.S I really liked this video
P.P.S I've done the 21 for 21 push up challenge. You should do it too. You do 21 push-ups a day for 21 days to support the 21 solders who suicide.

Thank you Buzzfeed, our military and veterans are the backbone of this great nation which many take for granted. I always assist veterans as much as I can. My son is a former Sgt in the Marines (MOS 0331) and my brother was in the Navy (SWCC) they came home but PTSD is a real condition as a nation we can't let them down, since they never let us down. Semper fi and honor our military veterans this Veterans day.
This helped me understand what my dad and the other men in my life who have gone to war been through. In a year and a half i will be serving in he Navy and being the first female in my family to serve. THANK YOU for all of ur service.
I thought this was gonna be about veterinarians
