glad you don't skip his ads they are awesome every time. I love his wife she has a great sense of humor they are a great couple and that's nice to see.
Demonetized cause it's too violent? Indeed funny. If more "violent" stuff like this was taught and not hidden away, I think we would all be in a better place as a society. Sorry you didn't get any monetization from it, but really glad you still posted it, but waiting for your reaction to it every since TFE posted it.
Yeah, it happens a lot with military related stuff. I could cut stuff out, but it seems kind of skeezy to do that. Oh well, that's life. Thanks, this is a great story.
@@CinesterCharlie I visited as a teen at the Soldiers Home in Chelsea MA for a short period in 79, and as a Freshman in HS. I lived in a poor city and was the same at the time, these conditions were ok but not fit for veterans. This home was their last place and felt very sterile and basically waiting for the inevitable. It's always bothered me.
my dads a disabled veteren and they have treated him quite well actually. the way he explains it though is they never tell you what your eligible for and you have to jump through hoops to get stuff done and you have to ask alot of questions and keep on it.
@@swere1240 Yeah, it took me about 5 years to get the benefits that were owed to me. He's right though that you have to do most of the leg work to get benefits. It can get really frustrating.
I hadn't really thought about it the first few times seeing this video but he is likely responsible for my papa getting to keep his benefits after Vietnam which is just crazy to think about, it's very likely he only made it as long as he did because of those benefits, still just doesn't seem real that he's gone and it's already been like 2 years now
I'm from the Rio Grande Valley South Texas, and Roy Benavidez is ONE (if not THE) Major "Local Legends" in my neck of the woods. A good amount of my family Is serving, or Has served. My own older brother served in the Army, and one of my Tios is STILL in the Air Force. The old man (My Tio) was there, in person, when the US was teaching the "Czech Republic" (or whatever tf it's called now), how to use and fly the planes the US Air Force was sending them. And my gramps (My "Air Force" Tios father) served in WWII in the Air Force as well......
@@CinesterCharlie Grassy ass Compa 👌🏻 A lotta us American born Mexicans feel a connection with Benavidez because of how hard he fought to remind the gringos that not only were we born here first, but we also fought just as hard ( if not more) to be seen simply as an American.
I read up on Roy's bio. I think his daughter actually has a youtube channel where she talks about her father, shows his beret and stuff. Roy's the type of guy that would've joined Delta Force in the 70's (the founding year) just for fun.
I used to love the VA because when my dad used them for benefits, it was really smooth and pretty much paid for my college education. But now that I’m going through trying to get my husband rated for disability, I’m seeing the huge difference in how they treat officers vs enlisted. We’ve been fighting with them for almost a year and the sad thing is, all of his issues are a direct result of his work in the navy, nothing is made up or exaggerated. Hell, the navy has records of everything. Its so frustrating
Humid in Arizona ehh? Yea it's always humid in NJ. Right now I'm looking at 96 today with 90-100% humidity. Neighbor moved to Alaska, he prefers -30 in Alaska to 10 degrees in NJ - it's dryer up there so it doesn't feel as cold. I hope the weather settles down fast Charlie. Gotta love Fat Electrician and Tango Mike Mike is one of those stories that you can never hear enough of. Donald R Burgett is another one of those - while he never got heavy awards he kept a diary from Normandy to the Eagle's Lair. He made every combat drop the 101st did - and rode into Bastogne. He has 4 books on his experiences.
@@CinesterCharlie The rain is hitting everyone bad. Midwest has dams and levees failing. Makes me wonder where the maintenance money went.... I agree about the humidity - it just drains the life from you. I'm good until 100 degrees - after that I am not going out there unless there is no choice. I've had to clean up after storms in the upper 90s with no AC - it is not a fun time. Cool thoughts man.
@@CinesterCharlie Ah Tenma! She was the one who saw one Wendigoon video and immediately developed a crush on him. Only to then see that he was wedding-planning and thus her romance ended before it began.

Sometimes the ads are the best part.

I'm not a veteran but know a bunch of them. That incident where the GOV went after his benefits, and what I still see today, really pi**es me off.
@@rg20322 It's infuriating. Makes my blood boil.

Well this is an awesome way to start the day. Love the vids, man
Thanks blackheart :) I really appreciate that man.
Love, when he makes videos like these, they help me get through work
Oh thanks man. Yeah, these are fun and my back hurts at the end lol. I appreciate it.
Life indeed has a special flavor for those of us who survived war and lived through it.
Word. It's hard to explain what it was like to other people sometimes.
@@CinesterCharlie I just ask them if they’re morbidly curious or just want to hear what really happens. They tend to get quiet or just stop asking.
@@Irish381 I start talking about IEDs and people get quite pretty quick.
@@CinesterCharlie Respect 🫡
Now the third time I've seen the Roy video from TFE, and second time I've watched someone react to it. Never gets old! Love from Shiv!
@@GloriousShiva42 Yeah, it's one of those bitter sweet stories. Never gets old. Thanks Shiv.

@@Trid3nt861 Oh nice. I'll have to look for her channel.
I never thought that I would hear the full version of the TANGO MIKE MIKE story. The Davy Crockett missions were wild stuff .
I know. When it popped up I was like, "Hell yeah"
Check out Mr. Bailen story on massive sergeant Benavidez.It's called he died thirty seven times in regards to the injuries to eat substanc
Alright, I'll take a look at it. Ballen does cool videos. Thanks.
While it may be unfortunate that Roy forgot his firearm, the sad reality of a fight that intense is that there’s plenty lying around.
@@marine5480 I suppose
crazy story

Yeah, the monsoon season hit pretty hard down here. I can deal with dry 110 degrees, but the humidity kills me inside. It is a really good story.

I saw the levy thing on the news. Crazy stuff. I live in a casita built in the 1950s, so the swamp cooler isn't great when it's humid. Miserable.
I'm just here for the Reagan impersonations
