Hearted Youtube comments on Combat Veteran Reacts (@CombatVeteranReacts) channel.

  1. The driver is a 48 yr old ex Police Special task force sniper and also teaches people how to shoot in his spare time. Apparently as soon as he got out the vehicle and got down on his knee taking aim, the highjackers took off. They had enough ha ha

  2. I was deployed during this time in the area they were at. I heard about this story, and our command had to hold a 'Safety Stand Down Class' on the fuck ups this unit did, and what not to do. Theater Command crucified the gunner, chief and convoy commanders. Full Court Martials all around with Dishonorable Discharges and some prison time. I'll see if I can find the article that was posted about it in the Army Times. EDIT/ADDITION: I'm still looking, but it's like digging through a stack of papers a mile deep and unorganized as well. My unit's Safety Stand Down was in Late July 2009, so look earlier than that for the initial incident (maybe Feb 2009? Court Martials take a bit of time. I saw the Article commenting on the Court Martials in Mid-August. I can't remember their names or ranks for the most part. But I remember the Assistant Convoy commander was a SFC that got an extra charge due to falsifying his report (Saying the vehicle was destroyed/inoperable, and the driver was KIA and they couldn't recover the body (Which turned out to be false)). Only the Crew Chief, Assistant Convoy Commander and Convoy Commander got prison time. And of course, discharges all around. I'll keep looking, but if you want to help, there is the pertinent info that I have from an aging memory.

  3. Hey, brother! I'm the guy that was interviewed in the video by Syrmor. I really liked your take on everything and all the additional information you provided to your audience on it. When you asked why we might not have put rounds down to let them know we were there, at that time we weren't allowed to do "warning shots." We did have something called suppressing fire we could do. But, suppressing fire had to be placed in between the enemy and the ground party to be "legal," I've always considered it a weird lawyer rule. And, since these guys were up against the perimeter wall any rounds put down between them would've been danger close and had a high collateral damage risk which pretty much sank that option. Also, I really love that you brought up using aircraft for noise suppression. The AC-130 is incredibly loud and it was apart of our SOPs to deter the enemy by flying overhead the enemy and letting them know we were there depending on what our objective for an op was. Of course, some missions the JTAC would ask us to push out at the edge of our sensor range to not burn the target, but I consider one of the gunships crowning achievements to be our long loiters times overhead that allowed our guys on the ground to get some rest from an engagement or sleep. It made for boring missions, sure, but when you have a ground party thank you when you check off for the rest it was hard not to be proud of that. In fact, I'd say 90% of our ops didn't see the bad guys come out to play cause they knew we were overhead. Anyways, love the reaction brother.

  4. The horses used in the charge are so genetically enhanced that they're barely horses. They can keep charging while taking small arms fire such as lasguns, and have massive claws which they can use to rip the enemy appart. Also the lances used are designed to penetrate armor and then explode, if you look at the lances you see that they have a simmilar charge as the potato masher and they explod after hitting the space marine's armor. Also an interesting story about the deathkorps. They where sent as honorguard for diplomats inspecting a dissident city, when the diplomats where executed by the dissidents the deathkorps promptly started shelling the city. The deathkorps continued shelling the city for 10 years after which the city was utterly reduced to rubble, this was 2 years after they stopped detecting life signs from the city and 5 years after the city decleared unconditional surrender. The deathkorps doesn't fuck around.

  5. games with bad graphics are usually the ones to have things such as simulated air pressure since the pc can focus on calculating those instead of using resources on graphics

  6. Fun Fact: In 40k, the Imperial Guard has a type of officer called a "Commissar." The Commissar is technically not part of the regular chain of command and thus has no command authority unless they also hold a commision as a regular officer (such as the infamous "Colonel-Commissar Gaunt") but they do have absolute authority in matters pertaining to discipline. This includes executing deserters and cowards. In a normal unit, one of the Commissar's duties on the battlefield is to enforce discipline by giving speeches and making themselves a visible presence to remind the troops that if they break and run, the Commissar will not hesitate to judge them cowards and shoot them in the back as they flee. However, in the Krieg units, they are so fanatically loyal that the Commissar does not have to worry about them breaking and running, but rather his job becomes keeping them from charging headlong at the enemy lines. Because the Kriegers absolutely will suicide charge the enemy even when it's tactically pointless and wasteful for them to do so unless a Commissar holds them in check.

  11. "How does a mech walk if there is no gravity?" That's the neat part... He doesn't. Station has artificial gravity via generator and if you destroy it people start flying and can stuck in place if they have nothing to hang on too.

  16. I can't believe they don' have a better system for contacting their backup than just calling them on a cellphone.

  17. This guy needs to be in a motion picture directed by Clint Eastwood

  18. The irony of the Emperor acting and having the powers of a God but not wanting to be worshiped as one is brought up a lot.
    810
  19. "Every world is a death world..." Yeah, so you know when they call it a Death World in 40k they REALLY mean it.
    801
  20. To be fair to the Death Korp, they do have specific medics to treat the wounded. It’s just a matter of “Will this Guardsman be worth the resources to be brought back up and rejoin the fight?”. A lost leg or other mortal wound and they’ll be given the Emperor’s Peace. But a non-mortal bullet wound will probably get treated if there’s a medic nearby. And don’t feel bad for the wounded, they would absolutely hate themselves if they became a burden to his battle-brothers or be shipped back home as no long able to serve in the fight. If they became a burden needing extra medical attention and resources, they would probably just kill themselves in order for their body to become corpsestarch, and being useful.

  22. The only thing a Kriegsman loves more than dying for the Emperor is killing for him.

  23. The hook-tipped plank you’re talking about is called a corvus and was a Roman invention, not Greek. They did this because their Navy sucked against their rival but their soldiers were dramatically superior.

  24. The church is no longer allowed a private army after a thing happened now called "the age of apostasy". But the law literally says they can have "No men under arms" so enter the sisters of battle. Good commentary on this one as well.

  25. I did see this and kinda wish there were other camera angles of this

  26. "It's like an acid trip." Everything involving the Warp tends to be, AT BEST, like a horribly gone wrong acid trip.

  27. the big armored guys "small arms" is actually a an automatic self propelled antipersonel grenade launcher
    627
  28. "S-Tier" is from Tier lists, its an Internet culture thing. The scale goes: S - In a class all its own A - Top-tier, the best B - Highly respectable grade, isn't the best but is pretty good C - Average tier, not objectionable but not really great D - Low-tier, sub-standard
    625
  29. "The planet breaking before the Guard did" isn't a meme. As the planet was breaking up there were reports of Guardsmen STILL fighting on the surface.

  30. Rifle is a Ruger on an AR15 platform. The assistant was taken by suprise as it was his first week on the job. He did very well in the situation even though he was a bit unaware of his safety on the rifle. Well done to him in staying calm and working slowly. Those who have ever been in combat know slow is fast

  32. Fun fact: the guy has also streamed legit oncology/immunology lectures. He's a trained specialist, iirc. May God-Emperor have mercy on us all, for Sseth has none. Edit: SS13's sequel is in the works, apparently. May God-Emperor have mercy on us all.

  33. I started questioning this almost immediately for 2 primary reasons ….. there was no big building in a pile of rubble, like would have happened if a hospital was legit hit with an airstrike ….. and if there was ‘at least 500 dead people’ we would have seen a crap ton of pictures all over the internet of mass casualties, and we simply didnt see that

  34. You ever heard of the description "soldier expecting to die" in this case it has been taken up a notch. They are not just expecting to die THEY ARE SUICIDAL AND WANT TO DIE

  35. Hey! Only three MTF casualties this time! Hooray! Body counts tend to be in the double digits for them.

  38. Stay safe dude. I know it's an empty threat but still, never broadcast whereabouts and info if it can be avoided.

  39. "Lorehammer" is definitely a Freudian Slip. The lore is 1000x more extensive than the Tabletop game's entire rule history at this point.

  40. SFM stands for Source Filmmaker it's a 3D software used in this animation.

  41. 3:35 “If you’re Khorne the blood god...would you want more blood? Feel like you’d be all blooded out?” Look, you do not get the nickname “The Blood God” by looking around and saying “yeah, this seems like a reasonable amount of blood, I should stop here.”

  42. The reason it looks so basic is that it can't look any better, both because of requirements the upgraded graphics would impose on the server and also because it's been iteratively built for years and years on an ancient client. It's essentially a fully simulated joke world.

  43. The Bundle of Stick- Grenades on one Stick is also a German Invention, made as improvised Anti- Tank and Pioneer Charge. Its called "Geballte Ladung" and was very common especially in WW2. Greetings from a German Afghanistan- Veteran ;-)

  49. The biggest issue is that Chaos naturally gravitates towards the extremes because that’s where daemons get their energy. Mere annoyance would be a light snack for a Bloodletter, while murderous hatred would be a feast. Basically, daemons of the warp push humans to give into the most obscene excess of their emotions so they can draw energy most efficiently.
