- A Frenchy reacts to The Most Gangster Marine
Let's talk about Dan Daly, the Most Gangster Marine of all time thanks to the Fat Electrician.
Original video:
• The Most Gangster Mari...

And, as always, kudos to The Fat Electrician for telling us stories like this!
Thank You. Your knowledge of other facts that fit in. Very nice.
Really nice reaction and additional information.
Yep, and your talk about Dan Daly, and NCO’s is exactly why the USMC says that NCO’s are the backbone of The Marine Corps. Been there, done that, and all the other Marines, at least US type (the best type), ahaha, gotta shit talk a little, it’s in good nature though. We learn about him, and all the other legends, so yeah. To us, when someone doesn’t know about all these different things. All over the planet that previous Marines have done, and the legends of the Corps, we almost lose our shit, then we’re like, oh yeah, they aren’t US Marines, and most times aren’t even US citizens, let alone born here. I like how you touched on a little bit more about the boxer rebellion, besides myself and a few others in comments on other reactions to this by TFE, no one else, that I’ve seen even mentioned anything else it.
"I don't understand the logic behind this" - Exactly what we Americans think of most of the decisions coming out of Washington DC
Same for us with our government 😅
You're not alone, Americans don't understand the bean counters & politicians in our country. Multiple times some DC hack has denied awarding a service member a truly earned.
Thank you, I gave up on understanding the French politicians & bureaucracy a long time ago too 😅
Am not military but a number of friends are. They have told me that, "the desk riders get jealous when they see an enlisted man has earned a medal that they (the bureaucrats) haven't earned and so they do everything in in their power to prevent it out of pure pettiness.
16:00 Frenchy said, "What is this man made of?"
That question prompted me to share the fact that Daniel Daly had extraordinary actions that were NOT discussed in the Fat Electrician video.
Here is my favorite omitted incident:
"At the outbreak of the Battle of Veracruz on April 21, 1914, Sergeant Daly landed in Veracruz, Mexico, with a combined force of 1,200 U.S. Marines and sailors. The American objective was to seize the port and customs house to prevent a shipment of German weapons-200 machine guns and 15 million rounds of ammunition, potentially to be used against the United States-from reaching shore. The ensuing battle saw intense street fighting, and the day after landing, Daly's platoon was pinned down in an arroyo, facing heavy sniper fire from a rooftop. Daly covertly crawled out of the ditch, entered the building from the rear and killed its entire seven man garrison, five by rifle fire and two by bayonet.
By the end of the day, the Americans had captured the city."
Edit: My great uncle is buried at Menin Gate. He died in Belgium before the US had even entered WW1. He, along with thousands of other Americans, had volunteered to fight in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces. He died near Ypres. These men are mostly forgotten today in America, but the Belgians remember. They perform a ceremony every evening at 8pm called "Last Post", and they've been doing so for over 100 years now (with a hiatus during WW2).
The politicians thought it would be 'grotesque.' Dan Daly deserves to have 3 Medals of Honor.
President Truman also fought in WW1 as a artillery commander.
Thank you, I didn not know that. And usually when politicians think that something you do is grotesque, it means that you're actually on the right path. Cheers!
@@ToonStory-fh4gn Theres a couple portions of the book "To Conquer Hell: The Meuse-Argonne, 1918 The Epic Battle That Ended the First World War" that go over Truman's actions and when Patton got wounded.
I LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE AND YOU REACTION, BRO. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I would also like to say thank you to you for the respect and honor y'all pay our dead and unknowns who died in France during both conflicts, it means more than can imagine to us. You have such a nice disposition, keep them coming, my man!
Thank you very much brother, we must and honour cherish all those moments when we fought side by side to defend our values. All the best from Lyon, France :)
I have yet to find a sane and intelligent person who can understand the logic of politicians
One must consider that currently over half of America's Congress has a background in law at 59% (lawyers make a living twisting logic to suit their needs), and that the percentage traditionally was much higher.
With that in mind it isn't as hard to grasp "intellectually".
Whaat I like about the French is that they are Americas oldest allies and helped defeat the British in the American revolutionary war
I can't wait to hear you react when he gets to the part about Belleau Wood!
That was a nice one 😀
We are all unique as humans, but some humans are a little bit more unique than others 😅
Yes, this man was like "unique-unique" 😅
I love watching reaction videos from people who have some sort of in depth knowledge/training of the subject. I don't care what Jane Doe has to say about a music video, but listening to composers or vocal coaches talk about it teaches me something new. You are, by far, the best reaction to TFE that I've found. Excellent work and thank you!
Thank you very much for this heartwarming comment. All my friendship from France :)
Hands down the best reactor on youtube. Noone adds as much value to the original video as you do. I salute you.
Thank you sooooo much for this, greetings from Lyon, France
@@ToonStory-fh4gn No worries man, i mean it. I hope the algorithm picks up your channel so more people find your videos, it would be well deserved. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
I think the theory behind limiting the MoH to only one is similar to what you said about the Legion of Honor, but without the chivalric element because we're Americans and we don't do that.
The concept is that you either *are* a MoH recipient, or you *aren't* . Being a recipient is a staus you move into, not merely a medal you collect. Giving multiples, even if individually deserved, dillutes their importance. Once you get one, that's it. There is nothing higher or in addition to it. You can only get other lesser medals for further incidents.
Thank you! It is actually not "chivalric", the word knight is purely meritocratic and has nothing to do with nobility or ancient Knights. But know, thinking about it I believe I'd prefer if it was the case with a real aboubement ceremony 😅
As of 2014 the law of earning more than one MoH has been rescinded and it is possible but it is something that requires a true act of heroism to earn and there isn’t anyone alive that has earned it twice.
There were actually 7 Marine Double Recipients of the Medal of Honor, but 5 of them received both the Army and the Navy Medals of Honor for the same action during WWI. Butler and Daly are the only ones who received 2 Medals for different acts of heroism...
Thank you for taking the time to share this here!
What a lunchtime treat for me! I cant believe i haven't heard this story before, what a great man, and of course you can never go wrong with the fat electrician, hes just the best story teller. Im definitely going to look more into this amazing story. And on a completely unrelated note, my local as well as our national news is showing a couple of local ww2 veterans, each at or over one hundred years, leaving next week for an honor flight with a companion to attend anniversary of d day. It is their bucket list to see the beach in peacetime,, they were both tearing up and so was i. I again honor the allied greatest generation, thank you for my kids growing up in freedom, godspeed to these two, a safe trip and return. Thank you for yet another video and commentary, you do this TH-cam thing right, happy weekend everyone
Thanks for your comment, and for this little story about veterans. We owe so much to those few men who were barely out of their teens. This week I'll definitely be doing a special episode for D-Day. Have a great weekend!
So glad I found your channel, I absolutely love everything you had to add! Wishing you much success! Nick (The Fat Electrician) is in the middle working to a Degree in History I heard him mention on a video format podcast. I feel like he’d really enjoy your channel . I’ve heard him mention channels that react to his and he seemed to really appreciate it and one of the families he even invited to a fellow soldiers ranch to teach them how to shoot when they visited the US again. This is the first channel I’ve seen that would likely really interest him for what you have to add.
Thank you so much for this heartwarming comment, nice to hear that he is studying in History. He's a hell of a storyteller on top of that!
lol i love your videos my french brother. it sounded like the fat electrician was roasting france about the tactical retreat. he said in another video he wasnt roasting the french bc and i quote “The french had been fighting for years and years , they have had mutinies bc of how ugly the war has been but they fought courageously”
Thank you very much mate. When he talked about the French retreat, I understood that it was just his way of talking and that it wasn't really a roast. It's part of the way he tells his stories, and that's what makes it so entertaining!
You're exactly right and the poor French soldiers went through hell during World War I. They lost somewhere close to 2 million soldiers and I think the exact number was around 1.7 million, look for the first 3 years of World War 1 none of these soldiers had a break at all and that was against their military protocol. Thank God they had a new commander and when this new general took over he made sure that all of the French soldiers were able to get 2 weeks' leave so they could get out of this war and go home for a while to rest and visit family, but it was going to take a while to get everybody caught up since the military has been screwed over for so long.. the French soldiers were really patient because as long as they knew they had hope coming that they were going to get a couple of weeks off soon enough they were okay.. the protocol is that they're supposed to get two weeks off every 3 or 4 months just to get out of a bottle and get rested up. None of these men have been getting this for 3 years which is why they mutinied.
The Americans win over there and only about 20% had military experience and the others had 17 weeks of boot camp but they didn't have trench warfare training..
You can see what's going on in the papers but nothing is like real life and when general John j Pershing got over to France, he was devastated and he sympathized with the French and the British but he did not want the US soldiers to be cannon fodder.. he also wanted to have the US command fighting together so when they beat Germany they would all be able to have political bargaining rights..
The American troops originally going over with the general we're only $150,000 and they were some of the experience soldiers & Marines. After the general visited hospitals and saw what was really going on he contacted the department of War and the president and he told them they were going to need millions.. that changed strategy in early July 1917, and the American troops that were piling in over in France had to get three months or so the trench warfare training. Everything about World War I was always timing and the timing was perfect when the Americans got over there and the British and French were just worn out... God knows they've been going at this for 3 years & to think about how close to the Germans came to taking Paris was scary.... God bless all who sacrificed but all of the American and French soldiers who fought at Bellea Wood and successfully defeated the Germans was what saved Paris ..❤
Just to fix a few mistakes or tall tales, Daly didn't join the marines at 16, he was 26. Though the 16 is very often spoken. It just isn't true according to many sources.
Also Devil Dawg was not from Germany, it was from a US Newspaper. The Marines love a good story, and never let it get in the way of a small little fact.
And from what i can find, the rule that TFE talks about doesn't stop you from wining more then 1 Medal of Honor. You now get your first award. If you get a second one, you get a thing to put on your ribbon. It just means you only get 1 award to wear on your uniform.
I love your responses. Dan Daly could have won a 4th as well, if they would have put him in for the Ammo Depot as well. He is one of the best military members in all of the US military.
Thank you very much for these information. Yes I read that he was actually 26 but I did not want to correct TFE as this did not bother me.
I did not know about the other facts you mentioned, I appreciate you took the time to share these with me!
I still think that someone in Congress needs to champion the cause of getting Daly his third Medal. BTW, there's an old Hollywood movie starring Charlton Heston called "55 Days at Peking" about the same thing as the documentary that you mentioned.
Thank you, I'll try and watch it!
Key congressmen were jealous of Sergent Daily
Yes maybe
You Frenchies are educated. Jokes aside, I appreciate a reactor with knowledge and education. Most who react to these things don't add any of their knowledge to the reaction
Thank you very much 😀
This is starting to become one of my favorite history channels
So nice to hear, thank you :)
Revolutionary war, Barbery coast war, 1812, Barbery coast part 2, Mexican American war, civil war, Spanish American war, ww1, ww2, Korea, Vietnam, desert storm, terrorism wars. With various actions spread in between, america has basically been in constant wars since before independence was declared about 250 years ago
You can add the one and only: the Pig War!
More seriously yes, thank you for your comment :)
If you want to count them, you can include all the conflicts between the US and various Native tribes.
@joecrazy9896 I think it was, I blame the education system for not teaching it like a war, but yeah. Hundreds of years, and they were only defeated by technology and numbers.
From the US. Thanks for your video. I appreciate your view! Keep leading France!
Thank you, all the best form Lyon France :)
Love ya man. You know history.
Thanks so much bro
Great reactions man, I love your take on these things and the respect you show. Thank for your channel and opinions.
Thank you very much 😀
25:20 As a Marine and a '31 (Machine Gunner) myself, I deeply appreciate the look on your face in that moment.
As for a logical explanation on why politicians would block Dan Daly's medal, there isn't one beyond American politicians being the scum of the earth, per usual.
Thank you mate, I couldn't understand why they refused this but I like your explanation!
A retired marine with 3 Medals of Honor is an unknown and difficult to quantify variable and potential threat to politicians.
They couldn't know which political party he would support, or whether he'd decide to enter into politics himself.
There were other double recipients of the Medal of Honor throughout history so Daly wasn't unique, but nobody had ever won 3.
Fear of contributing to the creation of an uncontrollable variable is what kept Daly from the third Medal of Honor he'd earned.
That's my opinion on why the pencil pushers shafted him.
still loving the hat my man.
Thanks mate!
Great reaction!
@@theblackbear211 thank you!
I really appreciate your added historic knowledge and research, thanks for sharing
Thank you for this nice comment 😀
Kudos to you for adding great value to already great content!
Thank you very much 😀
The Barburry Wars, The War of 1812, The Spanish-American War, The Mexican-American War, The "Plains" Wars (Against The Natives), The Civil War, The Banana Republic Wars...Other "Conflicts" that weren't officially declared "Wars..." Yeah, our early history is definitely not pretty.
Yeah, I will not judge because according to some historians it seems that France is the most agressive nation on earth or at least in Europe. Might be worth a video! Thanks!
Excellent additional commentary. Thanks.
Thank you very much for this kind comment 😀
As a 10 generation American I love my old country. Thank you for this reaction.
Wow another fantastic video my friend just incredible,an that fact that he didn't die,with all these incredible acts of heroism,just fantastic.
Where are all the modern equivalents men today,is it the rules of engagement,that's stopping these men from getting recognition.
Soliders still fight wars,an win medals,is it some kind of official secrets act,that they can't tell there stories or something.
Anyway what a fantastic man,I wonder if he wrote a book,because I'm sure it would of sold very well.
Thank you, I am sure you can find a couple of those within the ranks of the soldiers who are fighting for their freedom & country right now. I really appreciate your comments mate!
Absolutely amazing! People like him are true legends. Natural leaders.
Yes, incredible man!
America does not award Knighthoods, as we never acknowledged a king or royalty after our independence.
Awards like the medal of honor are awarded for meritorious actions in war.
Devil dogs by Sabaton is a good song. I really like To Hell and Back and No Bullets Fly by them. To Hell and Back is about the most decorated soldier of WWII, Audie Murphy. And No Bullets Fly is about the Charlie Brown Franz Steigler event where a BF-109 escorted a B-27 out of German airspace
I reviewed No Bullets Fly a couple months ago, what a story! And I'm keeping To Hell and Back to review it someday. Thank you!
82nd all the way.
Love you know hixtory or at least read up. Im impressed and apriciative
Thank you very much!
Sabaton is awesome!
Hell yeah!
There were in fact over a hundred wars with the Native American tribes. So it's 17 years of peace currently.
It's very appropriate that the Japanese once commented on US troops making an amphibious landing as ' Here come the lords of death.'
That one liner 😅 Incredible! Thank you!
No one knows why but it's only one...
Thank you, it is weird!
question, in those 22 years you found "without conflict", did you take into account the constant conflicts with the Native American tribes?
Yes I considered them. But I am sure I am missing a lot of smaller border-like incidents
@@ToonStory-fh4gn Warhistoryonline puts the # at 17 years of peace thru the entire history of the US. Given the context of this video, they were only considering pre-1900, they put the years of peace at 1796-1797, 1807-1809, and 1828-1830, and that's it.
We are the gods of war.
I didn't see if anybody is reacted or commented to your question about the medal of Honor I'd like to take the opportunity to it is supposed to be awarded to people really heroic or indicted in the process sometimes but most of the time it's the way to reward somebody for doing something heroic and cost them their lives like honestly my grandfather was part of the 101st airborne division and I was always told stories when I was a kid about how the entire division voted not to accept the Congressional medal of Honor unless that person died because the entire unit was doing stuff above and beyond the call of duty which is how you win the Congressional medal of Honor I hope this is clear enough for you so that you can understand now how it is awarded and I have a question for you I always thought the highest French medal of Honor was the nom de Guerre
The Medal of Honor (MoH) does come with financial, career, and social benefits at least these days, but it doesn't rise to the level of a knighthood. The likely reason limiting the number of presentations to an individual is to preserve the character of the citation.
From Wikipedia:
In an Act of Congress of July 9, 1918, the War Department version of the medal required that the recipient "distinguish himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty," and also required that the act of valor be performed "in action involving actual conflict with an enemy."
Since the time of it's inception, the MoH went from something that was given out not-quite-like candy (President Lincoln's pallbearers, an entire volunteer infantry regiment simply for re-enlisting, etc.) to something that carries with it the highest regard and solemnity, so changes were made at times to modify the form and character of the MoH. Most modern (post 1917) MoHs are presented posthumously, or to individuals who were severely injured or performed in an obviously self-sacrificing way for the sake of others and/or the mission. So Daly's potential third MoH citation lands in the middle of this 1917 change in how the MoH is being handled.
No young widow, or mother mourning her 19 year old child who died in a faraway land should be presented with what is ostensibly the greatest military citation for valor and sacrifice in the face of the enemy that our country can bestow, and then see some guy wearing three of them who gets to retire to be a security guard, regardless of how badass that person might be.
I would think the character is better preserved by just making sure people who get it earn it.
Thanks for the comment and the research, that's cool of you! Ok I think I understand better. For us, ‘chevaliers de la légion d'honneur’ is a purely meritocratic distinction that marks the person out as an exceptional citizen, hence the fact that you can only have it once.
Its not important to the story but Dan Daily was court martialed twice within 6 weeks of each other for drunkenness on post
It makes him even more likeable!
Watch Sand Pebbles
hey nice recommendation, thank you!
