  3. My niece told her mother she wanted to join the Marines. As a former Marine, I was tasked with talking her into doing something sensible...like joining the Air Force. I talked to her for ten minutes and went back to tell her mom "she's dead set on becoming a Marine, she won't fit in anywhere else". She was made Gunnery Sergeant last year.

  4. You make being in the infantry a bit cooler. I've been in 5 years but something about your videos make me a little more proud of the fact I know how to call for fire and do all this stuff that seems lame after training on it a million times. I need you to come teach stuff at my company

  5. As a Marine, the only reason why we're so effective is simple: our quality of life is so bad that literal death is preferable to a Chinese field day.

  6. In the 90:s the swedish commander in chief of the military was asked by a very left/communist leaning journalist why all the military exercises featured an invasion from the east, and never the west (implying a us lead invasion). The CiC looked at him for a while, then nodded and said "I guess they could invade from the west, but it would be a rather long and odd route for the Russians to take".

  7. I’m from Mexico and I live down here. I am absolutely pissed cuz I have not received my own Patriot battery, javelin, or HIMARS system so I demand the US government to either get me my own MLRS right now or compensate me with a Peacekeeper ICBM, F35 or an entire Marine regiment. This is outrageous!!

  8. You know you fucked up not when Ryan McBeth is mad at you, but when he's disappointed in you.

  9. It was also a Marine Sergeant that invented the concept of NCO entertainment by flicking a spent cigarette butt into a grassy area and then ordering a group of Privates to find and dispose of it.

  11. I am Ukrainian and your serious face while you watching this is even funnier than the video itself. So here is a little insight into what this video actually is: It's essentially a Slavic type of humor, so it can be difficult for westerners to understand, but follow me, as I try to explain We like to mix our memes like Marvel mixes superheroes in Avenger movies So the dude is witnessing a russian convoy, it became a part of life for a large portion of the nation to spot such things for UA Armed Forces. We tend to joke a lot about things happening to us, especially when those things are bad, you cannot even imagine how many jokes and memes about air sirens there are. This dude talk not in plain Ukrainian but in dialect, which makes him more relatable. He also swears in a funny relatable way The convoy itself is some old shit, moving in a dumb way, to need to explain it. The second thing we see is ZAZ "Zaporojets", the dude himself notices it, it's an old vehicle, it's unbelievably bad, it stinks like salvage, drives like crap, and, overall, it's a coffin on the wheels, as any road accident will likely end up with fatal injuries. BUT it's ours and our grandpas used to take us fishing on one of those, so we love it, it's pretty much a part of our culture The next thing is Stepan Bandera's portrait, it takes some knowledge to understand it, but it's the main joke of the video, so I will try to explain: So Stepan is a Ukrainian national hero, who spent his life either fighting for free Ukraine or in a German prison. We are really proud of him, the western part of Ukraine even celebrates his deeds once a year. On the other side, russian propaganda likes to portray him as a nazi, who took part in the German massacre in Belarus, while portraying the free part of Ukraine as one big cult of Nazis mentioned above. So while explaining Ukrainian tactics on official briefings they mentioned we use "so-called Bandermobiles" with nazi brainwashed kamikaze crews. But the thing is, the Ukrainian tactic for coping and countering such accusations is to use them. So we turn to memes literally any grotesque thing russians tell about us. We proudly call ourselves slurs they came up with for us. One of our "totem" animals - a hybrid of crucian and pig was originally used by russians to mock us. So everything that happens and everything this dude says is carefully handcrafted to make Ukrainians smile. And one last thing: Павел Осадчий(os.pavel) on Facebook claims to be the author. He also said it is only the first test, there will be more because he does it to raise funds for Ukrainian Armed Forces. Hope it was interesting for you to read

  22. Good morning Ryan, I am from the south so I found an interpreter and was able to understand you. I am a former Navy FT and have experience with solid fuel misses, Tartar, SM1-SM3. Most of your explanation is right on. One note to add to your bank of knowledge. During boost all of the internal guidance is locked up to keep the bird from going crazy during the initial boost phase. Keep in mind the bird goes from setting still to Mack 2 before it leaves the rail. There is a fire through latch on the launcher to keep it from moving until sufficient force is met to move it through the latch at Mach2. A lot of things happen at the end of boost. The electronic package is unlocked and the gimble radar in the nose cones is positioned to where the return radar beam reflected from the target is expected based on calculations at launch. This is the tracking radar beam reflection. If the beam is not detected in 2 seconds of gimble positioned the bird self destructs caused by lack of rear lock. Without knowing how long boost is on this bird I would suggest that there was a failure in the electronic package during boost and either the gimble moved before the end of boost or at the end of boost the gimble unlocked and failed. Based on what I see and my experience I would say the electronic package failed and unlocked during boost. If it had been a rocket motor failure due to a broken/air gap in the propellant it would have blown up. Seeing how Russia is digging into their missiles reserves I would suspect this is an old bird that has set around, been bounced around for who knows how long and suffered a failure during that time. Good video and keep up the good work.

  23. As a US infantryman who lived in a small camp with Russian units in Bosnia, I can clearly say that their equipment is absolutely unmaintained junk. If one out of every 15 of thier BTR 80s worked in a given month it was a miracle. Their version of logistics, support, and maintenance is really pitiful. It was that experience that made me decide you could not hardly rank Russian Army units in the same class as other modern armies. I no longer feared a conflict with Russia.
    1200
  24. As a former F-16 crew chief, I feel seen and heard Ryan! You absolutely nailed it.

  25. Thank you for this public service good sir! Not all heroes wear capes 💪🙏

  26. As an Army veteran, Im glad you're on the American side!

  30. You're an amazing educator. You just packed something that should take hours to explain into a 45 minute video and did a better job of explaining things than my high school teachers ever could.
    935
  31. As a 14T I've got to say this is one of the best Patriot explanation videos I've ever seen. Seriously they should show this to the guys coming into MEPS. Your 80 hrs of work and research on this topic really shows through. Oh BTW the launchers are always in front of the radar. In one diagram you had them behind the radar station.
    931
  32. "The real people that Ukraine needs don't fly the F-16, they maintain them. These are the people who keep the jets in the air. The pilots just go up and break them." Truer words were seldom spoken.
    913
  33. Your conclusion reminds me of a line from the movie "To Hell and Back": The main characters, who are infantrymen, are told by a tanker that their protection is not the best because they only have a couple inches of armor. One of the main characters rebuffs "Oh yeah? How thick do you think this GI shirt is?"

  34. I retired from the USAF in 2019 and was a Target Analyst working with various munitions including some with thermobaric warheads. I was attached to a squadron that did combat operations and testing/evaluations and there was a noticeable drop off of sustained peak pressure in high humidity environments however, the munition still performed as expected in achieving the required objective. Visually, the blast wave propagation was extremely evident and made for an interesting debrief video.

  35. "soldiers hate change and the way things are now" OMG, that is such a damn good quote

  36. I was a 60 pilot in the CT guard...we were activated to shovel snow off the roof of a high school...i made 100 bucks for 12 hours of shoveling snow.

  37. I really hope Drill Sergeant Riggs gets to see this video. If you joined the Army in the mid-90s and those drills, they were all about 10-12 years time in-service, meaning that most of them would have retired by the time Iraq and Afghanistan got really hot. They trained us dudes who took care of those kids. I just hope that those Drills know that the things that they taught us really did save our lives; that they really did make a difference.
    867
  38. Ryan, as a maintainer I really appreciate your kind words and respect towards our community. Thanks for the always solid analysis!

  39. Ryan obvious isn’t aware that in case of an enemy aircraft approaching, the Russian navy moves the flag post to port side and re-arranges the halyard while doing so. 🤪

  42. "The Army is something you did, the Marine Corps is something that you are." As a Marine vet, this is something that you nailed McBeth. The saying goes "Once a Marine, always as Marine." And the pride of being a Marine is something that no one can take from you. Thank you so much for this detailed history of Marine Corps esprit de corps

  48. Ryan, I am the Royal Canadian Engineer Corps Sergeant Major, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge your fantastic Mine Warfare video. I have been involved in live mine actions in Rwanda, The Former Yugoslavia and Afghanistan as well as employed as a Mine Warfare and Booby Traps instructor at our Combat Engineer school. I have to say that you have neatly summarized in 27 minutes what our ETHAR or Explosive Threat, Hazard and Recognition training takes days to deliver. That said, well done! Lastly, the time you took to recognize a Canadian Sapper who collaborated in the production of this initiative is truly appreciated! CHIMO! CWO Paul Albertson, RCE SM.

  49. I was 13-B in the army and it was awesome to show my girlfriend this. It showed it better and explained it better than I could. Made me really proud. Thank you.

  50. As a former infantryman in the Canadian military, my NCO's would have us doing push-ups until we passed out if they found our positions looking like the russian trenches...

  51. As someone who lost my career when I came out in 1992, I can’t say how much I appreciate this video. Over $1m to train me, volunteer for Desert Storm including flying 20 AWACS missions - in addition to the couple hundred RC-135 missions - TS/SCI - thrown away because people like that ^^|%{>} are afraid the gay is contagious. Thanks, Ryan.

  52. You managed to keep me on the edge of my seat with a story about mold that I had largely heard before. Thank you--this was fantastic.

  55. I am amazed at how well you healed. This story kind of reminds me of a situation i found myself in, i had just ended my conscription in sweden, and my cold weather training saved my life once. I was cought in the middle of nowere in the northern parts of sweden in a blizzard. About 80km from any town. (For anyone interested it was road 26 between mora and sveg) I had been atending a school upp there but wanted to surprice my girlfriend at the time by an unanounced visit on valentines day morning 2011. It was like 30 degrees below zero celsius and the windchill was brutal. But i just jumped in the car and thought "whats the worst that could happen, the car never failed me before" I stopped at the side of the road to take a piss. Mid stream i hear the engine stop, i thought "huh thats funny, never done that before." And when the engine refused to start again i started to get realy annoyed. But, i did what i had been trained to do, i doubled upp on pants and shirts, stuffed my jacket with a news paper i had laying around in the car and got a beanie and some gloves and sat there waiting. Trying to get a hold of anyone. I called everyone in the book that i could possibly get to tow me back to school. But nobody was awake. And walking 80km in those conditions were just out of the question. The thing with cars in the winter is, they are great for getting out of the wind, but they become an ice box as soon as the engine is not supplying heat anymore, So i had to go out of the car run for about 200m to get my heat upp the run back again and get in the car every 15-30 minutes or so.. But i kept calm and thought of the whole ordeal as mostly an annoyance, i dont realy think i was realy thinking of the kind of danger i was in. I was just pissed that my plans for valentines were ruined. Anyways. About 6 ohurs go by, and i got towed in the end. But my mother was furious at me. "Why did you not call the emergency services?! You could have died" It hit me just then that yea... i could have. But all the cold weather training i had gotten in the military got me out of it alive. And i just answered "oh... i never realy thought about it as an emergency" XD im such a dumbass

    559
  59. Thanks Ryan for posting this. As a member of the north Carolina national guard and a part of one of the first groups from my unit to respond to the devastation caused by hurricane Helene it has hurt me to see people post online that we are doing nothing or that we are not helping at all.

  60. As a former Marine, I have struggled to explain to my friends here in Poland that I was not in the Army. My attempts have not been aided by the fact that Marine sounds like "marynarz", the Polish word for "sailor". Thank you for a very good explanation. I'll refer to this video often!
    532
  61. also keep in mind that Aktau was the option that would require the least amount of maneuvering to reach. They could get up to a safe altitude and fly for quite a long time to assess the situation and the capabilities of the aircraft

  65. Your mom's phenomenal! To estimate the number of years between the time God made His promise to Abraham and when Jacob went to Egypt, we can refer to the genealogies and timelines provided in the Book of Genesis.God's Promise to Abraham: This occurred when Abraham was 75 years old (Genesis 12:1-4). Birth of Isaac: Isaac was born when Abraham was 100 years old (Genesis 21:5). So, 25 years after God's promise. Birth of Jacob: Jacob was born when Isaac was 60 years old (Genesis 25:26). Jacob Goes to Egypt: Jacob was 130 years old when he went to Egypt (Genesis 47:9). Now, we add up these periods: From the promise to Abraham to the birth of Isaac: 25 years.From the birth of Isaac to the birth of Jacob: 60 years. From the birth of Jacob to his move to Egypt: 130 years. Summing these:25 + 60 + 130 = 215 years.

  66. I'll second the naming of the new helicopter "crow" and the SF version " war chief" that has amazing back story grounded in American/ native American so I think it would be an amazing naming.

  67. There is an essential aspect to being a Royal Marine which is summed up as the “Commando Spirit”. This is something akin to the Finnish “Sisu”. It means that when everything is at the darkest, most exhausting, most depressing and dangerous state that it can be, a Royal Marine is expected to laugh and cheer his mates up and crack on, even more so than when everything is fine. It is frequently this intangible attribute that determines which Royal Marine cadet passes out as the best of his course; the senior officers and NCOs hunt relentlessly to detect it and to praise and elevate it in the eyes of the whole training cadre. I think there’s something of that in the USMC, a sort of perverse pride in getting piss-wrapped and exhausted, not having the best equipment, being treated badly all-round (by foes and their own top brass alike) and yet still, STILL, somehow getting the job done and doing it laughing. It’s kind of like saying “fuck you, I chose this, so I decide when it’s done” to the whole world. That bloody mindedness to me is the essential quality that all Marines simply must possess and I’ve never met one who didn’t have that particular air about them. The real esprit de corps. You get that pride because you know that, not only does nobody else want to do what you do, nobody else CAN do what you do.

  69. While I share the illogical love for the tank buster, your arguments were well thought out and logical while addressing the emotions associated with the aircraft. So, it is most likely the airframe is living in borrowed time. To facilitate the process, please send them all to me.

  71. In 1985, while in Basic Training, I was in our afternoon radio class. That morning we had been in Map Reading for about three hours. While on the line with the instructor, reading from our scripts to practice radio discipline, I called in a fire mission on my Drill Sergeant. The Drill Sergeant had me squat with my arms extended, holding my chair straight out in front of me, which as many of you know, can be quite painful after just a few minutes. While I was squatting and holding up my chair, the Radio instructor came up and complimented me on the accuracy of both my radio skills and my grid coordinates. He then set a can of Coke on the seat of my chair as a reward. After he walked off, the Drill Sergeant opened my Coke, drained it in one pull, crushed the can, and set it back on my now very wobbly chair. He said, "Thanks, trainee. I needed a cold drink. Hit me up after graduation to get it back. Heck, son, come on over to my house and I'll grill you a steak and loan you my wife, too. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
    439
  72. Excellent video. As a Marine NCO, in Vietnam, we traded, borrowed and "reassigned" gear on a continuous bases. Best deal my platoon made was an NVA flag (that we bought from a local) and traded it to a Navy SeaBee for a Skill saw we needed for building a command bunker at base camp. As for where they got, don't ask, don't tell. As a retread in the Army, 11D40 scout, we only had the M114s. The TOWs were just being introduced on the border in West Germany. Our rule was, see tank, report and scoot. The 20 mm we had would only ruin their paint jobs. Thanks for protecting our country.

  74. As a retired avionics tech, this is a really good representation of what goes into keeping aircraft flying. If you think 19 hours per flight hour is high, look up the numbers for F-4's. Also, anyone can "Red X" and aircraft. It takes a TSgt/SSgt to minimum to clear the condition.

  76. When I was 5 years old, I asked my grandfather who fought against the Germans on the side of the USSR army, originally from Kherson, Ukraine (born 1910) to tell me stories from World War 2, he said that they were all terrible, but there is a funny one: The battle was under Kharkov, Ukraine, after the end of the battle, a soldier ran up to us, without a lower jaw and tried to say something, we helped him, but he could not calm down and wanted to tell us something so badly, he was not horrified, but on the contrary, as if laughing, we gave him paper and a pencil, and he wrote down what happened. After the end of the battle of heavy guns, he saw a single German that ran out of bullets in his rifle, but our soldier did not, he decided to engage him in hand-to-hand combat, he didn't want to kill him just like that, our soldier wanted to have a fight of honor. So he took off his boots and put them aside. Minutes later he killed the German, but he tore off his jaw in a fight with a German bayonet that was on the rifle. So when he turned to the place where his boots were, they were gone. Stolen! Although no one else was around! It was 3 meters away from the fighting site. So the soldier came to his comrads and was laughing his ass off that he lost his boots at a fight! Who could've stole it!? I was there, no one was around, it was a flat surface! Lol. The soldier was more worried about boots than the lost lower jaw, he said: "Well, it's winter, you can live without a jaw, but without boots I will also can lose my legs. So guys, never take off your boots at war". Now, 28 years later, I have questions for my grandpa, why would he take off his boots in winter? Did he make it without a jaw? Sadly my grandpa died the same year at the age of 84. Ryabchenko Anton Spiridonovich (born 1910) Kharkov, Ukraine. Colonel of the Military Construction Troops of the USSR. He built bridges and other structures for the transfer of military equipment and the population, and then undermined the bridges. Also he told some other story when is old, he had his old heavy winter greatcoat which he wanted to exchange for a new, lighter one, but the old one saved his life. When they built a crossing bridge to overtake Soviet military equipment and local residents, he stood on the bridge (the bridge had no railings), and waited until people pass through, they told loudly to everybody - first women, children, old people, and then men, but then some "Young Jew" man ran with women to cross the bridge without waiting his turn, this guy pushed my grandpa and he felt from the bridge. He remembers: - While falling, I thought that's it, what a stupid death, but bam! A tree branch caught me on my winter greatcoat (from the bottom, you can say the branch hooked me like under a skirt), the height was about 200-300 meters, I'm lucky I didn't change the heavier greatcoat to the light one. His comrades lifted him up, but he only had a sprain on one arm and bruises on his butt, he was lucky he didn't got impalement on this branch. The guy who pushed him, I don’t know what they did to him, but my grandfather said that at that moment he understood what “sleeping on duty” means, you always need to be on the alert, even when “ours” are nearby. We still have this soviet greatcoat. Feels like it weights about 10 kg

  78. I was with the Aviation Combat Element of the 31st Marine Amphibious Unit when we executed Operation Eagle Pull , the evac of the US Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia (which few Americans today seem to even know about). The Air Force flew in a group to do air control and we flew in about 400 Marines to do perimeter security The MSG was busy burning documents and money (one Marine told me that they burned hundreds of thousands and maybe millions of US currency). We flew CH53s from the USS Okinawa in to LZ Hotel where the diplomatic personnel and many Cambodians were delivered too, and we flew out and the Hancock flew in to start picking up the Marines on the perimeter of LZ Hotel., who had come under mortar fire. We had planned this operation for several months but as with so many things, a lot of adjustments had to be made on the fly. The Khmer Rouge over-ran the city in the days after that, and this was the beginning of the Killing Fields. The 31st then completed Frequent Wind, the evac of the SIagon embassy a few months later, but I had rotated back to the states and my next assignment was actually to the Marine Security Guard Battalion, but my class was canceled when the embassy in Saigon fell because suddenly they had plenty of Marine Security Guards with plenty of time left in the assignment (two year at the time, I don't know what it is today.) As I said, most Americans have zero knowledge about Eagle Pull but everyone knows about Frequent wind but Eagle Pull was kind of a good practice mission for the subsequent and more well known Operation Frequent Wind. Even though I was a part of this, at the time, I have a limited understanding of what was actually happening and the scope of the war happening all around me.

  80. I am a Rakkasan. I am also a former Marine. The combat tours I did with the Rakkasans convinced me that I was in an Elite unit. That is the mentality and the results we achieved support this.

  81. I'm the developer of Fossilfuel 2, in my game you end up fighting some Mercenaries. I can't believe Ryan is talking about game theory here, this is fantastic. Barking is a great way to communicate the AIs actions and also make battles feel more alive. One thing to remember is that video games are "hyper reality" as in realism isn't necessary the goal but fun is. I would recommend checking out the game F.E.A.R which has some of the best enemy soldier AI ever put into a game.

  90. As a US Army Veteran who was every kind of E-4 you described(Well, I ETSed as my Corporal paperwork was still pending) as well as being an E-4 platoon sergeant and E-4 tracked vehicle commander I'd like to weigh in on that person's situation. He is intercourse up. Now, he did have help, his unit should have had a full layout upon return from deployment. So, that would be on his commander, platoon sergeant, and squad leader. But, if he was told to "leave gear behind" and did so, he should have been up everyone's butt in his chain of command about it, and that failure lays squarely on his shoulders. Everyone knows after the first time they do a layout in the Army that if you're missing something, it either needs to be replaced by you, or the money is coming out of your check. All of that being said, this jack wagon is a Specialist. How does he not know if stuff is missing he is paying for it? And, most importantly, how can he be an E-4 and not know how to redistribute items to a source of better need? So I am calling complete male cow droppings on all of this. It is extremely unlikely his unit did not do a full layout after deployment. It is extremely unlikely this Specialist did not know if he was missing stuff he would have to pay for it. It is also extremely unlikely he would not have replaced it BEFORE he has to turn his issued equipment to CIF because EVERYONE knows their ETS date. I cannot imagine how he could be so irresponsible as to NOT KNOW what gear he is missing in the first place. I also find it highly unlikely his Fire Team Leader, Squad Leader AND Platoon Sergeant were not aware of him missing equipment . . . unless he had pawned it. Based on my experience, the real chain of events he is not telling is probably something like: he left his gear in Afghanistan as he was told. Did a lay out after the deployment. Got his missing gear replaced. Then sold, traded or pawned it, hence him missing training armor and not real armor. It is likely he was either involuntarily separated or medicalled out ahead of his expected ETS and was expecting to have more time to replace his gear. So instead of accepting personal responsibility for his actions, he is blaming others and flinging excrement all over the place to see what sticks in an attempt to weasel out of the consequences.

  92. I knew a guy that has been a tank mechanic in Germany. He was also "that guy." They got a new CO that was appalled at what he saw the guy had "acquired" and they had a conversation. It basically went something like: Are all the tanks running? Do you want me to keep all the tanks running? Then leave me alone. He left him alone. People like you and the guy I knew are valuable commodities in any organization. You are focused on problem-solving, not obeying every bureaucratic rule and reg.

  95. Thank You Ryan. I'm in Canton NC and our Mayor has done an outstanding job. Way too many people want to come here so they can look like heroes on social media. If you want to help please send supplies as normal deliveries can't get in. But please if you are not already here stay home.

  106. I have no words to explain how well done this presentation is. Absolutely incredible. I have never learned so much information so quickly before, and it blows my mind how straightforward and easy to learn that Ryan makes it. So absolutely clear and concise for everyone to understand, and FLAWLESSLY put together in a logical way. This is so far beyond any educational video I've ever seen on youtube. Completely impressive
    251
  107. Active duty Marine here. Bravo Zulu on calling out Breaking Points for their deliberate attempt at narrative shaping Ryan! Used to be an avid subscriber until their mask came off after Oct 7th last year. It's only gotten worse since then, so props for talking truth to power. Hopefully Breaking Points opts for a good faith rebuttal, but I doubt it.

  108. While I'm a Korean-American, my parents were born in Korea. My dad is that guy that orders a different drink anytime he orders a Coca-Cola and is asked if "Pepsi is okay?". He explained to me about being a poor child in the aftermath of the Korean War and how every once in a while the Americans would open up their bases to the locals and give out burgers and Coca-Cola. In a country that had so little meat (he'd only start to "regularly" eat "meat" once he started his own military conscription) he always marveled at how Americans were able to make burgers and ship in Coca-Cola bottles (and of course beer and cigarettes). My dad was actually an English literature major of all things and his older brother's best friend was an army detailer and got my dad into KATUSA where he worked for an American logistics/motor company. He mostly translated the accident reports from Korean privates who had never driven a car, let alone a deuce and a half. It was in KATUSA where my dad realized the true power and might of America was not in its mighty weaponry or highly motivated troops, it was with its logistics! My dad always marveled about the insane circus of moving parts and "amenities" that was the US Army (from a ROK Army point of view) and all the systems and supply chains needed to support it. We've been here since the early 90s and I was lucky enough to have been born and raised here! Anyways your story reminded me of my dad's/family's story and wanted to thank you for showcasing how the US military impacts folk without every pulling a trigger!
    235
  109. As a former USAF "support troup" it's good to see it explained in a well though out way. Tell a non vet that you where in the air force and first question was "did you fly?" Where the tooth to tail numbers where MUCH higher. IYAAYAS - OIF

  111. Pumped to check this one out, thanks for talking about this Ryan!
    231
  112. This was incredible, well done Ryan. I have related anecdotes. My mother was a nurse in the 77th Evacuation Hospital that you referenced. She served in North Africa, Sicilly, Normandy, Belgium, and occupied Germany. She would often talk about when they first received penicillin and all the doctors and nurses thought it was almost magical how previously lethal infections just "melted away". She was a medical nurse and was put in charge of the antibiotic ward. My father was a physician who graduated in early 1944 and worked in Kansas City, MO. He had a patient dying from staph sepsis who was covered in open sores. 80% of my dad's graduating medical school class served in the military and penicillin was only available to the military. "Somehow", he managed to get some penicillin through one of his class mates. Within 24 hours of the first dose, the patient was afebrile, awake, and alert. Like you said, they collected all of his urine and it was reprocessed to collect and reuse the penicillin. That patient lived and remained my father's patient for the next 20 years dying of a heart attack in 1964. As far as my dad knew, it was the first use of penicillin in the Kansas City area.
    231
  113. Ryan, this was a tier above your normally excellent quality. Bravo.

  114. As a Marine Corps aviation electronics technician, thanks Ryan! We have a phrase on our shop board that says "Marine avionics: underthanked and overfucked".
    228
  115. "Why is the range shaded? Because even in Russia, the Air Force treats its people better than the Army." Nearly wet myself with that one. You sure do know what you are talking about, McBeth. Rock on, brother.
    221
  116. My only real opinion about this is the space force and the marines should start working together cause nothing says shock trooper and getting there first like being dropped from orbit, that’s right I want the marines to become odst
    221
  117. Im slowly getting my conservative father to watch your shorts, hopefully I'll be able to show him some longer form content like this. IDK if it'll lead to anything, but I just want him to be more informed from trusted sources.

  118. Doing important work. We need 100 of you.

  119. I think this would be a great idea for a live T-72 as well, although I know making any plan on the fly would take a lot longer since the 72 would have spotted you at some point, were it live, and would have sent a round if it knew it got spotted. For live T-72: Assume it fires and misses. If it hit game over you all die; if lived then scram! Smoke out from the Bradley’s canisters if available and find defilade and position in there. If only defilade is too shallow for the IFV, move near it with smoke between 72 and Brad slightly displaced from its original position where it fired smoke. Dismount the Fire Team, split the Fire Team and Bradley some ways apart as to prevent double killing the IFV and Squad; then proceed as the same: Javelin out first then tow-2 from Bradley, then bushwhack the hell out of it. Hopefully one or both groups have Thermals that can acquire lock through smoke. If the T-72 retreats, or the shots don’t land, call for reinforcements first, then get arty on position. When Battalion HQ gets word Tanks are about to roll up guns hot they will take an extra large order with all the sides and get it delivered 5 years ago.

  122. 75 year old MARRIED lady here. I love Ryan. I learn. I like to keep learning things and he explains stuff so I can understand. AND he admits his mistakes. ❤❤❤❤
    204
  123. About the marines dropping the tank from their inventory, what i missed there is that not only are tanks going kablowie with smart weapons. When you look at the support a tank needs in material (ammo, parts for maintenance, fuel and everything else) it makes a lot of sense to give your infantry some extra smart weapons (drones/javelins and f22’s) and concentrate more on replacing the tank with already excisting units then having to have the extra supply line across an ocean just to field tanks. Something the Russian army is experiencing as well. Great video and keep up the good work.
    204
  124. As an old 11H about a decade before Ryan, I like the way he explained the situation. I will add in 20 years I never stole anything. I did, however, explain to others what a great benefit they would receive for giving me what I needed from them.
    203
  125. My grandfather was a rigger during WW2, he was on furlough for Dday but at the reunions people often came up to my dad and said “I was glad to know your dad packed my chute because I knew it would work”
    202
  126. Ryan dropping the line "And of course I can find his personal email and number because... y'know shows a video of a MQ drone launching a hellfire missile I'm Ryan" Is such a badass line that only someone like Ryan can use

  129. I’m not a military oriented viewer, but huge kudos for your honest assessments of what’s going on. I didn’t notice the usual garbage pit of trash surrounding Russian soldiers as much as in many other Ukrainian soldier videos. I think this is a great topic! Thanks again.
    188
  130. Thanks for this one. My grandfather was a Forward Observation Officer with the 19th Canadian Army Field Regiment Royal Canadian Artillery (RCA) in WWII. It was nice to see what his role was actually like (less the computers).

  132. In the swiss army one of our platoon comander was from the italian speaking part and prepared to lead a french platoon but got instead a german one. He could speak some german but he also got suport by a female partoon leader so that's why we had two leaders. The Female leader was also from the french part in switzerland but spooke german prety well. But she was so small that she needed spezial size of clothes sinze the Army hadn't them in that size. She also couldn't reach up to correct my hand which I had wrong for the salute. But so helped those two leaders each other. The french speeking platoons where by us called russians becaus of the difference to the german platoons. The french platoons where just more chill and less comform.
    183
  133. I'm a former Cdn infantryman, it's been a while, but I believe the first time I used MILES gear was in 2000, we were testing out a upgraded system MILES2000, we used it for a week long exercise in Edmonton, practicing FIBUA in a former barrack block. We also used it frequently when we went down to Ft. Lewis in Washington, and also down in Ft. Hood. As a 19/20 y/o Pte. you don't always fully appreciate the training value, but not gonna lie, it was pretty fun ripping around in helicopters and getting paid to play fancy laser tag with my buddies! On a side note; weapons cleaning after putting a few thousand blank rounds through SUCKS!!! Lol
    183
  134. "Stay out of my country - your lies are not welcome here!" - As a fellow American, I couldn't agree more! They aren't welcome! But you are Ryan! Thank you for everything you do - looking forward to seeing it for years to come! :)

    174
  137. I ran a 105 battery for a few years. Shit happens. People make mistakes. We never fired out of the impact area, but that was due to luck. The ones I remember we had someone fire a 105 Charge 7 when it should have been a charge 3 and we had someone fire a time fuze that functioned as it crossed the fence into the impact area. Both cases were due to a human error. The wrong charge was a precut charge (which you should never do), the gun bunny was holding up the charges to show he had 4 increments, but that wasn't the round that was loaded. The time fuze was training where they got interrupted and failed to reset the fuze and and it was at something like 2.2 instead of 22. And the section chief either didn't look or didn't actually read the setting. In both cases, had we been at a different firing point, we could have killed people. And in both cases the section chief lost their job until they convinced the chief of smoke that they understood what they did , understood that it was their fault, and they were never going to do this again.
    172
  138. Your best video yet. Very detailed, very accurate. The Infantry- Artillery team is a beautiful thing. From one retired infantry platoon sergeant to another, Lead The Way!
    169
  139. Well done! I haven't been on a fire mission since the late 80's. Wasn't expecting it, but I got an adrenaline rush hearing the calls again. THANKS! (13B)
    169
  140. From one old TOW gunner to another, BRAVO! Grunts can be smart too! Thank you for continuing to serve us all with your concise and objective analysis as well as your old sergeant's sense of humor. I was jarhead with a lead sled, one tour only during Desert Storm and after a couple years. Nice work on your schooling, I stopped at one engineering degree after service. I am impressed by your knowledge, presentation skills, general congenial nature and work ethic. We, as your audience, are fortunate to watch your videos. BTW, I was a jarhead but my stepson went Army paratrooper option 40. Heatstroke out of RASP ended up with 3/509th in JBER with a very busy trip to Afghanistan in winter / spring 2017-18. I am very impressed with the training and support provided our Army infantry.
    167
  141. Ryan, I'm digging the Dr. Strangelove bit.
    166
  142. I have a 14 year-old who is very interested in the military, as opposed to going straight into college. I really didn't know much about the Space Force, but I bet she would love to be a part of it. Thanks for putting this together.
    165
  143. Lol, you were the first person that came to mind, when I saw Johnny's video! And I was waiting for your response (because, what do I know about this stuff??). Boy, did you NOT disappoint!
    164
  144. As a former Eagle Crew Chief, thanks for recognizing Maintainers. Not everything you said was perfectly spot on, but it’s nice to be acknowledged.
    163
  145. I didn’t see this until ANCOC in 2005 and I definitely find your version more relevant and useful than what we were taught; good info as always Ryan
    161
  146. Solid presentation! Thanks Ryan!
    160
  147. I'm learning a lot about how important logistics are for the armed forces of any nation; the backbone of modern warfare.

  148. Great job platoon daddy and as a former contractor you hit it right on the head a soldier is a soldier no matter where you are in the world

  150. I was in the California Air National Guard. My Basic squadron had a 36-year-old guy studying to be a medic on air evac flights. They nicknamed him "fossil." I don't know what the AFSC was. You can join the ANG up to age 39. (I was the 2nd oldest member of the squadron at 26.) Since I had a Bachelor's degree equivalent, I started out as E-3 right out of Basic. The physical demands of Basic for the Air Force were less than for the other branches. The cool thing about the Guard is that you get a little bit of extra support in tech school compared to active duty troops because you also belong to your state, and they really want you to succeed. We had separate lines for the mess hall, and the Guard line was always much shorter. My unit was the 261st Combat Communications Squadron. We had a lot of older people. technical competency was very high because most people had long-standing careers in electronics disciplines. We also had many former active duty people who enjoyed the military life but didn't want a career out of it. In my 6 years, we never had a combat deployment, but we did provide disaster support for forest fires and earthquakes. (I got out just before 9-11) It is a very worthy way to serve your state and country.
    150
  151. Lots of the videos of NJ drones are literally airliners on approach to EWR airport. I saw one video on the news today which clearly displayed a well illuminated United Airlines logo on the tail! Must be a United Airlines drone! The problem is, most people are not terribly well informed on aircraft and don't often look up at the sky. Being that people in NJ are in a heightened state of awareness (Due to the fact that drones are indeed up there) and therefore looking at the sky constantly - they are now hammers and everything up there is a nail. We have 4 major airports in a 20 mile radius here in North Jersey, so the skies are VERY crowded, so to the untrained eye, which is most people (and there are ALOT of people in Northern NJ) everyone believes they are seeing drones everywhere.
    149
  152. Reminds me of an old tale here in the Irish army (Dublin).. The orderly officer walks up to the private on the gate of Collins barracks, “private Murphy what would you do if a British warship sailed up the river and started shelling us?”.. “Sir I’d get 50 tanks and blow the bastard out of the water”.. “This is the Irish army, where will you get 50 fucking tanks from?” Asks Capt O’Brian… “the same place you got your imaginary fucking warship from, sir”.. More clips like this please 😊
    149
  153. I served in the MC back in the 70's and 80's. I am 62 years old and I am still a Marine. There was no expiration on my oath. Love the corps!
    146
  154. African Immigrant USAF vet chiming in, I agree wholeheartedly with Ryan regarding how I feel about the morality of the US Military vs anyone in the world. As an rule the US Military operates from the moral high ground. There is absolutely a reason my family fled Zimbabwe to the US. American till the day I die. Loved the content from the start Ryan.
    142
  155. Brother Ryan, after leaving service as a Captain, I went around the world for nigh four years on $9/day. Once, south of New Zealand, I was caught alone in an Antarctic storm on a mountainous island. Death was so, so close. Death and I could have had tea. But I refused. I’m glad you did as well.
    142
  156. Great video. After spending 20 years in the engineers with multiple tours all over the mid east I get frustrated trying to articulate a lot of the concepts of logistics, support, and realities of combat in a multidimensional and/or asymmetrical threat environment. Keep up the good work.
    138
  157. I'm a UK Airborne veteran who came to NYC for my career after I retired from the army. I totally admire your ability to see the fake, misinforming, treacherous influences and putting things clearly. Knowledge of military inventory flows is the big missing part that you show to all of us and a huge dose of common sense. Keep it coming.
    133
  158. Thank you for keeping us safe during the global war on tires

  162. As a former Raptor crew chief turned security forces who's worked multiple CAC rotations it feels nice to see someone put a positive spotlight on the work we do.
    128
  163. I was in the Marine Corps and I don’t know a lot of this especially the first Korean War you mentioned. Thank you I learned something because of you.
    127
  164. As a Marine my only input is this; we aren't a force of occupation, we can't support the logistics surrounding tanks when we shouldn't even be occupying countries to begin with. We take by force and then hand it over to the Army so they can bring in all of their supply and logistics to keep the territory. Our budget just isn't the size of an occupational force. This video was excellent and I thought it was spot on, even learned a thing or two. One thing people forget about is the brevet medal, which is kind of the MOH juinor, 20-something pre 1940 Marines won those too.
    125
  165. Dont touch our boats!!!!!
    125
  166. Ryan, you're an inspiration. I'm a 29 year old Army veteran and I'm in school for Russian language. I live in the DC area and I'm about to graduate, but for my last semester I'm taking some journalism classes because I'm interested in the discipline. I'm really glad to see that it's an option to do this on your own, to become a journalist and tell stories that interest you personally. This was so awesome and thanks for making this super informative video. I want to grow up to be like you!!
    124
  167. As someone in cyber security, I was really pleased to see a video on the topic from my go to war topic guy! Not only that but it was really well put for a laymen to understand which can be tough with topics like these.
    123
  168. Your story reminds me of a one story, I heard from a Vietnam war vet, a Marine, I interviewed for a paper I wrote in high school: This Marine's deployment ran from late '65 through to the early months of '67, and ended just prior to the Tet offensive. In the second half of his deployment his squad was tasked with night patrols outside the wire of their FOB. These were primarily recon missions, so silence was key to their security in the jungle. One night they are moving through the jungle in a file formation and the second or third Marine in the formation, start crying and yelling inexplicably. The others try to silence him, and finally the Marine I interviewed punches him out and carries his off. The squad relocates over a half-a-mile away, and goes to ground. Later the squad asked the Marine why he was yelling and crying in the middle of their patrol. He told them: 'Oh I stepped on a land-mine, I thought, I was gonna die.' Later it was revealed that the 'land-mine' was in fact, a paint can lid... The moral of the story is what would have happened if it wasn't a paint can lid!
    121
  169. Thank you for the video, sir. I was an anti-armor instructor at 1st Marine Division schools in 1993-94. Our shop was next door to 1st MarDiv Sniper School. The instructors were exactly as you described, pretty chill but extremely good at their jobs. Very physically fit, impeccable in appearance in garrison and scary good in the bush. This was 2-man team days from STA platoons. I was fortunate enough to attend Army Airborne Course at Fort Benning in 1992 and had 2 scout snipers with hounds tooth as roommates. We were all Desert Storm veterans from the same regiment (5th Marines). They had an entirely different perspective than I on many of the operations over that short engagement. Very interesting to be roomed with them!
    121
  170. @Ryan Mcbeth As a 12b Combat Engineer and veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan, great video and thanks for covering this. Having placed, cleared, and moved all the mentioned systems, there's so much confusion and mythology surrounding minefields UXOs, and IEDs. Love your content, thanks brother!!
    118
  171. Ummm....is it me or is the F35 pilot just getting a ride for free? It didn't look like F35 was helping at all. 😉
    116
  172. Hey Ryan! Thanks for giving your audience such a detailed narration of embassy evacuation processes. We appreciate you noting that it's a team effort and how complicated the process can be. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Take care!

  173. As a former redleg 13BA1 from the 80's I need to thank you for such a great explanation of how a firemission works. Very well done Sir Thank You!

  174. I was eating lunch and watching this and nearly spit my food out laughing so hard at the, “he was on the team that replaced the skittles in your MREs for pictures of people in the Air Force enjoying their weekends.” 🤣🤣🤣

  175. I'm an Australian and I worked in the US for about 5 years. No-one could work out where my accent is from, not unless I acted like Steve Irwin and put the redneck accent on. Normally people either thought I was from some part of the US they hadn't heard the accent of or somewhere in Europe. Americans/Canadians never had a problem understanding my accent but immigrants from South American definitely do.

  176. Hear hear, Ryan. My dad, Capt. Sean Hoban (Ret'd, Dec'd), flew WW2 Spitfires in the 1950s for the Irish Air Corps, before a 40 year career as a 747 captain. His respect for the engineers, the 'green caps', and the 'red caps' was undying. They were his real heroes. I was lucky enough in 2021 to fly the exact same Spitfire Mark 9 that my dad trained in. Out of RAF Biggin Hill near London. Restored and maintained after 70 years by engineering geniuses. 🥰

  178. As far as the Air Force using the AC vests, what you need to understand is that we NEED those vests because it can get uncomfortably warm if you are seated too close to the ski chalet fireplace during mission briefings.
    109
  179. Ryan, just want to say what a good man you are for helping unknown people with creating a better future for themselves. As always, Thank you

  180. In the Army at Ft. Lewis, WA where I was a helicopter crew chief. As you know there are times where there is not a lot to do in the Army. SSG Lee, he was Korean and had a heavy Asian accent. He says to me. You sweep floor, better than Boeing. What? So Boeing is a major employer in the area and of course aviation. I said what? "Sweep floor, better than Boeing." So I said, does Boeing have clean floors? No Boeing.. Better than boring. Oh!!!! Better than boring. It was his way of saying it sweeping is better than being bored.... Better than boring. I get it. We loved SSG Lee and his broken English. Good times!

  181. This video did get me thinking about how cool joint exercises must be for the actual rank and file. 100+ dudes in their late teens/early twenties being bankrolled by their national defence budget to visit another country and meet their local counterparts, swap guns and gear for a bit, and doing a few photo ops for a weekend.

  182. I am a former Marine with over 20 years and have never heard that one. Good going.

  183. In engineering there’s a similar concept to Noncivilian Cutoff Value, that helps to compare and dictate how much of a project’s budget can be vs should be spent to create an appreciable increase in the safety of a design (eg, a vehicle or building). Beneath a certain threshold of safety, the project is considered impossible; above it, there is a cost per life association that tends to be formed with some uniqueness per project to help calculate how much of the project’s funds should go to increases in safety. So safety gets measured, safety increase cost estimated, death toll under extra-“reasonable” conditions approximated and multiplied by the project’s value per life, and then loss of life expense compared to safety increase expense to see if the increase is considered valuable enough to pay for. “Reasonable” conditions are also defined on a per-project basis. This method is a lot more complicated than I’ve done it justice, and is similarly utterly sober. No life has a dollar value, but that’s also not how economies work, just like no civilian life really has an “eliminated enemy” value, and that’s also just not how armed conflict works. The fact that both military theory and engineering standards and practices have both landed on this solution of measuring the unmeasurable is declarative of the necessity and simultaneous solution-less nature of the tasks at hand. Engineers (should) do their absolute best to avoid wrongful death, and then it sometimes happens anyway. And militaries need to do the maximum possible to avoid civilian death… and then sometimes killing 10 saves thousands. And sometimes you kill 10 and can’t even be certain yet whether thousands will be saved. Or in this case, sometimes you can be sure. Small wonder people look to God for help.

  184. Thanks for making these videos. I've applied to The Army and got a 92 on the ASVAB. Recruiter initially suggested 18B because I'm a farmer and contractor and I like working heavy equipment. It would be great to protect democracy in a country that actually wanted it and make sure elections were peaceful! Thank you for your service!
    106
  185. I've been an artilleryman for 15 years. As soon as the call for fire got initiated, I got chills and a bit of an adrenaline rush.
    105
  186. From a Polish fan, thank you for putting up these videos. You are doing a great job and I appreciate the work you do putting them together and sharing them with the world.
    105
  187. I really like watching artillery videos in YT, something about the harmony between material science, the math and sending a round down range gets me excited (maybe because I used to shoot for a precision firing team back in my ROTC days). The way you narrate and explain things here makes it much more exciting and interesting. Good job. If we had this back then, we would have been more attentive to the lectures of our Tac-O's
    104
  188. Ryan, as a hydrologist, I’ve been waiting for someone to show good satellite images. You have done so. My guess is that you properly identified the probability of scour as the cause for the failure. If some explosives were donated, it may have been that the Russians recognize a problem was developing and wanted to try to blame it on Ukraine. Speaking of scour, years ago at a New Jersey yacht club where the frontage bulkhead was adjoined by a side channel positioned at a right angle and having the bulkhead also with a right angle. Members would park their cars in that area during events. One evening a sinkhole formed, and a number of cars were lost. Scour had eaten out the material under that corner to the point where the weight of the cars lead to a collapse.
    103
  189. nailed it, this is hilarious your impression is on point. all the mannerisms are captured perfectly haha I say that as someone who loves watching Zeihan's videos
    102
  190. The Ryan Macbeth inaction figures get me every time. - Big hug from Germany and Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦🇺🇲🇮🇱🇩🇪 Edit: Oh yes, the content. I agree. What sucks the most, especially in Germany ist the Angst of everything nuclear. Usually you won't have to open a book (or a person) to know they are absolutely clueless. Even the bare minimum of 'education' is absent. Kinda frustrating...
    100
  191. I admit it, the Scott Foster remark made me laugh. Thanks for the analysis.

  192. The f16s are starting to feel like the dragons did in the first few seasons of game of thrones
    96
  193. My son is a young Air Assault soldier in the 101st Recon Platoon, I make him watch all of Ryan’s videos, usually on FaceTime and then we discuss. My hope is that Ryan’s job of leading and training young soldiers NEVER come to an end. I believe that so many soldiers and current leaders can, and do, learn something with each one of Ryan’s videos making him still integral to the Army’s mission. Thank you Ryan. Your hard work , knowledge and willingness is MUCH appreciated. The knowledge in these videos is what keeps our troops alive, our military lethal and success of the mission inevitable.
    96
  194. As a prior service marine this warmed my heart knowing someone looked into our history and understood our mission
    96
  195. As a former E4 crew chief I have lost track on all the shady things I have done to get the job done. Many a time production has raised eyebrows or been surprised by how fast things were completed but never asked questions out of fear of being an accomplice lol
    95
  196. Ryan, Being in Northern Maine and trained to apply AFFF at Bangor Maine's International Airport which also doubles as the former Dow Airforce Base now home of the Air National Guard Mainiacs 101st refueling wing. Generally clean up involves blowers and minimal clean water use and then towels on some surfaces. When we have freezing Temps it complicates things and blowers can still be used but the foam freezes and then if it is on planes it can involve using de-icer. It's much harder in the winter though if you don't care about the environment you could flood with water and let it run off everywhere and then de-ice the tarmac and planes. Russia I doubt gives the environment much thought.

  197. I needed this today, SFC Macbeth. My ptsd has been kicking my ass for the last few months again. I thought I had it beat, but it came back with a vengeance. Similar story, “You can’t beat me, Drill Sergeant! Never give up, Never quit!” I forgot that. Used to say that to myself when the shit got deep, like today. I hope I instilled that in my soldiers. Anyway, I’m calling 988, 1, now. Thanks, battle! SSG yayamamasami, U.S.A. (Ret)
    92
  198. Ryan, I just wanted to tell you that you are a great story teller, with entertaining content that draws the viewer into your topic. Well done!! I enjoy all of the content you create.
    91
  199. I can picture Ryan taking aside a guy who wrote a "message" on ordnance, and calmly guiding the young man through why that might feel good now, but it could come back to bite him later. E.g. "Suppose you found out that the mission didn't hit the bad guys, but civilians by mistake?"
    90
  200. As a Paratrooper in the 82nd now, this is a great video that explains it really well. This and the artillery video are perfect, and I couldn't add much too it.
    90
  201. This video, like the preflight safety presentation, are again important to drill into ones subconscious. It’s not that we all need to become preppers, but it’s worth considering wherever you are to have a quick blink and think “what would I do if...”. I for one do this on planes as well as other public places. Don’t dwell on it, just have a quick think. This video has tons of useful information to help, thanks so much Ryan McBeth, this your delivery is perfect. Serious but not scary, illuminating but not insisting, well done again!

  202. 101st is from the 101st Wisconsin volunteers that brought a bald eagle into combat as their standard in the civil war. The named him "Old Abe".
    87
  203. I'm realizing I can steal this - almost verbatim - for D&D....I wasn't prepared for info that I could steal for my hobbies! But I guess this is the beauty of learning new things. You never know when you'll learn something that's helpful in ways that you might not have expected. Great video as usual!
    86
  204. "Quantum mechanics is kinda weird" damn straight Ryan 😂😂👍
    84
  205. Who doesn't want a little glam with their plane landing?!! And what's wrong with a little face paint? But for real, it's the Marines who are the gayest right, not Air Cav? Airborne Hooah!
    84
  206. "Don't look at me, bro! I'm just the project manager." This line is so real, it hurts to listen to!

  209. "Chesty Puller stopped the bullet!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Top, keep em' coming man.
    77
  210. Thank you for your honest position. As a former IDF TOW operator I salute you!
    77
  211. I got one for you, so we were doing JRTC, we are ADA and we have to provide our own security which is impossible since we had minimum operating crew. We get to site and I start digging defensive positions. My nco tells me it’s pointless and we were going to get our asses kicked. I didn’t like that. Later on I see cars passing by site with military aged males so I tell my NCO if we should snatch a few up, he said we didn’t have enough men, I see that an armored unit is nearby, I insist and say what if I can get the armored guys to help, he (thinking they would tell me to fuck off) told me that if I could get more men, he would call in the request. I ran down the hill, was directed to their 1SG and he gave me a fucking M2 Bradley. I ran back with M2 in tow. My nco angrily called the request in and we got the approval. Eventually someone came and told my NCO we were disrupting the exercise and we had to break up the checkpoint. Endex happened and our Battalion Commander & CSM flew out to see us. With me standing next to my NCO they said “heard ya did such a great job you almost ended the war early when you set up that checkpoint “ my NCO said “yes sir, I just thought the Joes could get some good training experience from the opportunity”. I was livid. So fast forward to the wash pit (there’s a specific name and I can’t remember it) my nco wanted to drive through them while these giant water guns blast the vehicles. He had me ground guid and didn’t let me jump in. So I saw the water guns were operated by Spc. I go to one of those and say, “see that HMMWV? Its windows (canvas zipper windows) are real dirty” he looks at me and says “e-4 mafia baby”, he blasted nothing but the window and the dry rot gave up zipper fell inward he got soaked! 😂 he got out after the wash to yell at the E-4 and I got ratted out, and then I got smoked 😂 worth it.
    77
  212. I Like how you lay everything out in all your topics and have come to respect your viewpoints. Its a little late but happy new year dude! Forgot to mention how cool your shirt was too!
    76
  213. I'm in a German Disaster Relief organisation and our callouts usually work like this: Organisation Descriptor(Some sort of alternative Name which is usually shorter) And for it then continues with the name of the location we're based in. Then a 2 Digit Number for the Unit Type And then a 2 Digit Number for a designation within that unit. This leads to a Radio call sign something like this: YYYYYYY YYYYYYYY XX XX Y is a letter, X a Number. And the second set of numbers can either be a vehicle descriptor( If you know the vehicle codes you know what the person who calls you is capable of) Or it can be a person. Like the group leader or his/her "squad" leader. Then we differ in the Words to designate the end of our transmissions. We have "Kommen" ~ Come as the designation for a request to get a answer. And "Ende" ~ End as a signal that we are finished.
    76
  214. Ryan, I've shown your videos to my entire family and ALL of them have now used them to better understand the conflict. These were people who could not discern a BTR from a t-72 but your videos help give amazing context to those who don't understand armored warfare. (Myself have alienated many people on the subject at parties, don't judge.) Keep up the work!
    75
  215. This is kinda genius.
    75
  216. Thanks Ryan, as a non American, I have to say, this was fascinating. Really well put together. Well done sir & thanks for your hard work.
    75
  217. As a Mexican, that is the coolest background image you've ever had for a video in the thumbnail.
    75
  218. As a First Calvary Red Leg of 52 years ago. I remember slinging guns below Chinooks . I even saw to two Chinooks sling load a single gun working together. I doubt that’s done any more. As you mentioned Ryan any time the turbine is running your consuming fuel. This is critical in the planning stage. A very well done report.
    75
  219. Troops acting up when drunk nothing new and not going away, you know what will be coming? More safety briefs lmao
    74
  220. These are so good. Having you make your own videos on a subject is amazing of course but there's also something really valuable in random people getting a chance to ask questions from someone who is extremely qualified to answer. Thank you for all you do Ryan!
    74
  221. Holy cow... THAT was exciting... Literally... My heart raced during the replay of those incoming... Thanks for being there ladies and gentlemen... You make me proud to be American. This guy clearly knows his shit, and knows how to present it to a civilian as to be easily understood... Well... Vietnam era vet... But that was so long ago, it's like another life on a different planet at this point. Just know that this old man is proud of you all...
    71
  222. I was in the Marines for 8 years and I didn't know a lot of this history. It'd probably help if I could read. Anyway, thanks Sarnt! RAH
    68
  223. Ryan, I'm following you since the early days of the war. And I want to tell you this: I'm a HUGE fan!!!!! the fact that you are a software engineer, with such rich military background - it's amazing!!! thank you for all that you are doing for the effort, and for your support. Your storytelling is brilliant, and your analytical thinking is astonishing. You are explaining military topics like it's a line of code, so everyone could understand it. when the last Russian soldiers will be forced from Ukrainian land, it would be an honor if you come to Kyiv and be my guest. I'm sure you will love this city. In another case - I will send you a bottle of whiskey (or a traditional Ukrainian alcoholic beverage) 🙌
    67
  224. Do us DevOps engineers proud Ryan!
    65
  225. Sounds like overmatch is the adult version of rock scissors paper. Awesome video as per usual.
    65
  226. Thanks Ryan for explaining the functions of an Infantry Fighting vehicle. This is an awesome teaching video. I was a Red Leg in the First Calvary Division during Vietnam. We had Gama-Goats. They were supposed to float and cross water. We thought it was a sure way to drowned. I also remember the Dragon Anti tank missile .
    64
  227. Excellent job making this Florida trip a business expense lol
    64
  228. One time I was tasked with finding batteries. Enough to power the entire arms room worth of nods. The only thing I asked was “does it matter where I get them?” They said no. I knew where there was a ton sitting. A unit recently deployed and left all their batteries in their office. The locks they used were cheap master locks, so anyway, liberty and freedom happened. About a year later, there was an investigation but no one knew anything. Side note: I read some of these other stories and those are really impressive. I wish I talked to more people to find that guy.
    63
  229. Yo, Ryan! If I had my way, every American taxpayer who hasn't been in the military would be required to view this video in order to better understand why the military is the way it is. Discipline is a whole-of-life way of living. It it is relevant to everything we do. It is a military lifestyle. Thanks for everything you do, bro.
    61
  230. You stood by your officer. An NCO that has his officer’s back. Always a mission to find people to trust and that will work honorably. Don’t know what happened, but greed is the driving force of this society. And the need for personal power. Never saw that in you, bro. Looking forward to hearing about your next adventures You are the kind of people we need in this world. Cheers.🐺
    60
  231. Lt. Col. David Petraeus was my battalion commander in the Rakkasans. Best officer I’ve ever seen. Best unit I was ever in. You are correct. Discipline and unit pride there are second to none.
    59
  232. The advertisement integration was top notch!

  233. This brought back so many memories from my service in the Chilean army. I was a "paratrooper" (umbrella term here for air assault troops) and we were mostly attached to special forces units, we were the chaperones, making sure the sneaky boys could do their thing w/o worrying about holding a perimeter because that was our job and hile shit, there was a rumor going around back then that some of our pilots were trained by the Nightstalkers (which wouldn't surprise me, our army tends to train alongside US troops). If you see in Black Hawk Down killer eggs flying 3ft off the ground, I called it cinematic liberty on the movie... til I flew 3ft off the ground. Those were the best years I had in the army and your brief about the mission took me back to being in a tent with all my kit, ready to dust-off whenever the order came. Good times.
    59
  234. I didnt think Syria could be explained in 14 minutes I was wrong

  235. My grandson is at Ft. Campbell. Finished Ft. Ruckers in January to PCS. Thanks Ryan for this video to help me understand his training and challenges. Now me going for a Bunker Branding CHALK T-shirt. Tom.

  236. Hi Ryan I'm from N.ireland a wee place called Newry just on the border . I stayed in New Jersey on a handful of summers when growing up between 82 and 90 was in a gun store back then talking to the owner unknown to me I had an audience gathering behind me because of my strong accent 🤣when asked were I was from and I said Ireland then all the people cheered then this old black dude came up and said my Great Great grandpappy was Irish 🤣🤣🤣🍺🍺🇮🇪
    57
  237. It would behoove you to not get caught drawing on ordinance

  238. “…the distinctive accomplishments of Ryan McBeth reflect credit upon himself and the men and women of the United States Air Force.”
    57
  239. Probably your best work yet, Ryan. Outstanding.
    57
  240. this is fantastic, my favorite military youtuber is now doing video games even more reason to watch. Keep up the good work Ryan.
    55
  241. Your behind the scenes series is fascinating, Ryan. People lose sight of the fact that some of these young men and women just got out of high school and stepped right into jobs that can kill them if they don't have discipline and follow protocol. These 92 Romeos are a special breed for sure, as is any military specialty that holds the welfare and safety of fellow soldiers, sailors, Marines, Coasties, and airmen in their hands...Hooah!...

  247. I'd be lying if I said I didn't pack my work center with as many Micks as NAVPERS was willing to give me. I would also settle for Poles, those dudes are basically landlocked Irish. And exactly one Vietnamese person for safety wiring. I'd also be lying if I said I didn't have the most charming, cohesive, and efficient work center in my squadron, possibly air station.
    51
  248. Shoutout to Paul Harrell!

  249. Its true he DID ask me for cookies for me to interview him LOL.. Thank god W had cookies because it was a great interview

  250. Thanks!
    48
  251. I actually preferred to hear the Youtube version. It helps remind me of how ridiculous the Youtube censors are. FYI McBeth, I laughed so hard watching the Unsubscribe podcast with you. That hands down had to be the funniest podcast I have ever seen.
    47
  252. I was with the 5th MEB in Desert Storm and I can attest to the “had to kill my mother” myth. We would have captured Iraqi troops who could not be interrogated in the field because they were so terrified at our sight and recounted the myth but added that we had to drink Moms blood to the story. During your time in the Corps you have to put up with an every flippin minute of horsesh!# but that’s not the Corps. The Corps is the absolute hilarious awesome time you had with other Marines. Times you will never, ever forget. Semper Fi brothers and Rest Easy Warriors to those who have passed on.
    47
  253. Army has significantly higher standards than policing

  254. Jeebus, I love listening to you! I follow you for technical analysis, but I can listen to you talk about chicken patties for ten minutes and enjoy learning something.
    46
  255. After 12 years in the Corps, I took a break, and realized I missed the military enough to take another shot at it in the Guard. On the other end of that, my longest term platoon commander, for whom which I was his platoon sergeant, Agreed that I conducted myself the entire time like a Marine who was detached to the United States Army. So on behalf of every time I said some version of "You know, there's another way to do that.." I apologize for myself and perhaps some of my less tactful brothers and sisters. We are but a simple people, at times. 🤣🤷🏽 You are absolutely right about the difference in Army and Marine Corps versions of esprit de corps. My Engineers were always Engineers first and Soldiers second. But they were seriously proud of being 12Bs, and in time I came to grudgingly admit that "Essayons!" kinda grew on me too. "The Army is something you did, the Marine Corps is something you are." I don't know how right or wrong you are about the Army, But looking back at my history, and my family's history... You're absolutely right about the Corps. Thanks, SFC. This was solid. Much appreciated.

  256. Japan will help defend Taiwan 🇹🇼 🇯🇵

  257. I served in the US Army (2010-2021)...so...I "always" had the black beret (until I went SOF and had to buy a maroon beret). I'm also of Japanese-American descent...and know a lot of 442nd veterans...so there's a soft spot in my heart knowing that heritage. It seems like he had a wonderful career. And...thank you for verifying for me the logic behind the black berets. It was something that I had suspected upon hearing that the Rangers used to have black berets. Reminds me of The Incredibles...where the big-badguy commented that WHEN EVERYONE IS SUPER, NO ONE WILL BE. Special is only special...when it's actually special.
    45
  258. Im a former infantryman who incidentally is now a software engineer. This totally threw me for a loop. I’ve only seen Ryan’s military videos.
    45
  259. I remember asking you this question on the discord, We had such an amazing discussion and I hope you do more discord events!
    45
  260. This was a great walk down memory lane. I spent 10 years in the 82nd Airborne Division
    44
  261. Thanks, Ryan for your kind words about us. As a Marine and a fellow triathlete, I enjoyed seeing that nice Quintana Roo in the background! You nailed it with the coordination of aircraft. In fact, my unit (the School of Infantry) is standing up a professional SUAS (Small Unmanned Aerial Systems) school. Drone pilots will be trained at a no-kidding infantry school here very soon.
    44
  262. Thanks Ryan. As a former Infantry Platoon Commander I shook my head at the accusations levelled against that video. For all of you back home who sleep peacefully because rough men stand ready to visit violence upon those who would do you harm, I laugh when the nitpicking starts. Our job is to close with and DESTROY the enemy. If that means that my tank support crushes a few baddies then that's a few less we have to shoot. Plain and simple. We leaders in the trade understand the GC clearly and ensure that our men do too. There is nothing worse than having armchair judges in the background who have absolutely nothing to lose by spouting their opinions when they would never ever have had the courage to be in the actual fight.
    43
  263. Oh my God I’m a spit up my coffee. I can’t believe you brought up the space shuttle Columbia. He’s absolutely right they knew something fell off and hit it. They just figured you’ll be OK and then nothing.

  266. Ryan, This video, of yours, is a tour de force. It is exhaustive, well researched and you made it understandable for most of your audience. Excellent job. By the way I was the first civilian , in Montreal, to get penicillin in the beginning of 1946 I. a newborn, had contracted blood poisoning (septicemia) from a staph infection.. The standard treatment for the condition was a complete blood transfusion. That is, to change all of my blood for transfused blood.. The chances of success, for that treatment were not that good. Fortunately, they used the new antibiotic and I recovered. I subsequently got graduate degrees in microbiology (mycology), and then patent law. Again, thanks for the video.

  273. Step 1: Put tea bag and sugar (sugar optional) in empty mug Step 2: Add BOILING water and allow to brew for 2-4 minutes Step 3: Agitate the tea bag a little to make sure it mixes though. Step 4: Remove the tea bag, softly squeezing it. Step 5: Add milk. I find the perfect amount is to bring the tea level in the mug to the same level it was when the tea bag was in. Some people like more milk, more milk = weaker tea. Step 6: Sing the British national anthem and enjoy! There aren't any instructions on the box because as soon as your old enough to see over the kitchen counter you're old enough to learn how to make dad a brew!

  274. Thank you so much for this video! I think ditching the tanks was a smart move. The war on terror turned us into something we were never designed for. An occupying army. That's the Army's job. We need to be ready to fight a near peer advisory i.e. China. We know that China will use artificial islands to mount anti-ship weapons to defend the territory they steal in the ocean. Our tanks are next to worthless attacking small islands and holding them. We will go back to our roots and attack island to island. We will hold them with rocket artillery and deny our enemy freedom of movement on the sea. Tanks ARE a distraction. If we need tanks I'm sure the Army is more than willing to help us out. Semper Fi!!

  276. I can’t imagine the change in feeling that you must have in that arm. I did a traumatic amputation/reattach of a finger in 2018 and it is still freezing cold whenever the temperature drops below 50° and I’ll never have a feeling on that finger again glad you made it through brother.

  277. I literally just came from Eagle Pass. One of the local officers was my SAW gunner in Iraq. I went to see him. He showed me everything going on there. No...they are not sending those to the border. They were probably on the way to NTC at Irwin.
    36
  278. On my second viewing, because it's so entertaining. But I think I know why it works so well - it demonstrates that Ryan has observed and processed Peter's presentation style, tone, cadence, and his method of presenting information. I'm genuinely impressed, Ryan!

  279. This merchandise ad is way better than your last one with the CEO and owners, not sure if it's better than your one with all the recent presidents. If I heard any president wake someone up and ask "hey little tugboat, you drop your anchor?" I'd lose it.

  280. It is totally about the shaft that pushes it...... and the navy cups the balls while they work it....

  281. Ryan a very informative presentation. I encountered Claymores in my Basic Training. This was in 1972 😮
    35
  282. Thanks for making great content, Ryan.

  283. In desert storm, I witnessed a high intensity ground attack that was behind the front lines nearing DIVARTY formations of 1st AD 2/1 FA. I was a Manpads crew chief in DS of A Btry 2/1 FA. A mixed counter attack of Iraqi T 72s and Bmp 1 with Brdm recee support had developed a seam in the lines and was now within 2 kicks of my position on a desert tract. 2 A 10's immediately responded and pressed an attack on the Iraqi armor. There is a video on this platform that shows this engagement labeled as A 10's in Iraq. They both faced Shilka, 12.7 mm, and 23mm, as well as Strella Manpads on the 2nd and 3rd passes, rendering the Iraqis combat ineffective with no visible damage of the Warthogs. I disagree with your opinion about the effectiveness in a high intensity conflict of the A10. This was truly a high tempo and complete battlefield, and the performance I witnessed that day will never be obsolete nor unnecessary in a battlefield environment that US soldiers must occupy.
    34
  284. Finally a YouTuber with a brain. I’m in the Air Force and you would not believe the amount of hate I get every time I mention that the A10 needs to be canned.

  285. I never thought I'd ever hear "B-2 Bomber" and "Model-View-Controller" in the same YT video.

  287. As a former software engineer, project manager, and product manager, and software architect, your video is 100% on point. Thanks.

  288. "On Audible if your a Marine" made me laugh.

  289. Thank you, Ryan, for taking one for the team and watching the ice road.
    34
  290. Merry Christmas Ryan congrats on 1 million subs.
    34
  291. Ryan! Love your stuff. Always wondered how Stalin was able to throw such massive numbers of tanks at the Germans in WWII. Read up how he (Stalin) went nuts after Lenin, building his industrial base and advanced technology so in 1939, Russia had more tanks than Germany! Anyway, good stuff!!
    34
  292. When you said "That amount of responsibility these young men and women have in America's air defence" you forgot to add "and yet they can't have a microwave in the barracks because it's too dangerous."
    33
  293. You can tell Ryan is truly Gen X since he still codes in C# 😂
    33
  294. Mr McBeth, I'm, unfortunately, of Russian origin (Moscow born and uni) although EU citizen. I'm deciding between web dev and cyber security (more interested) would you think my Russian appearance will be an extra hoop to jump thru to land a first job in the industry?

  297. I’m in the UK, it’s 11:20pm, I have no idea what’s happening but the SuperBowl is on tv… this video was very much needed and very well received.. Thankyou good sir
    31
  298. You had me at the caption: "Guy who drinks whiskey in his bathrone"
    31
  299. Thanks for having me on brother
    31
  300. I love watching your videos Ryan. They are very well done and so nostalgic. I was there when we went from M113's to Bradleys. It was love at first sight when I saw them roll in to Benning.

  301. I grew up in Russia during the 2000s until my family moved to the UK in 2013. I recall seeing these St George ribbons (Георгиевская ленточка) on people’s jackets, tied to car antennas, and so on. They would be especially prevalent coming up to the 9th of May (supposedly a day to commemorate the fallen of conflicts past. If you ask me, the minute of silence means little when surrounded by hours of parading military equipment). When Putin came to power at the start of the 21st century replacing Yeltsin (everyone’s favourite dancing alcoholic), it was important he appear as a strong and nationalist leader, who will lead Russia towards it’s former glory and restore Русский мир (the “Russian world” i.e. sphere of influence). Mind you, Russians have been losing faith in the USSR since the late 70s, which is partly why it collapsed, and the absolute wild west that was 90s Russia only helped fuel the perceived need for a strong leader like Putin. After he came to power, he quickly proved that old habits die hard - the silly military parades and constant chest-thumping in media were straight out of the USSR dictator’s playbook, and with them came the use of this ribbon (as a way to signal RUSSIA STRONK). It was seldom used post-WWII before Putin. It is honestly a great shame to me as a Russian that the history of this symbol has been defiled and bastardised by Putin’s cronies. If it were up to me, this would simply be a Russian version of the Poppy (the UK’s remembrance symbol - we wear it on pins here, and proceeds from sales of these pins go to charity. Funnily enough no one parades military equipment around before the minute of silence in the UK, funny how that works).

  302. Gawd damn. I was IT management for 24 years. He absolutely nailed it!

  303. Former British Army here. Really appreciate your work. Consistent, fair and entertaining too
    30
  304. We are all brothers and sisters. Didn't matter where you were from. In this time, when ppl are at each others throats, I think about my Army days and remember....we are all Americans.
    30
  305. This hit me in my blood dispensary unit and caused a pain water leak. Your last phrase couldn’t ring more true, USMC vet and to this day I hear the hymn play and I can’t help but get amped up and Get goosebumps. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss the brothers I made in that organization of the few the proud the Marines

  306. Ryan, I found Egyptians amongst the most friendly and hospitable people I've ever met. It sounds like that your experience, too!
    29
  307. 20 years ago I would've made fun of Ryan for owning a 1# dumbbell. But after those 20 years of sports injuries and physical therapy, I get it.
    29
  308. Oh, that Technical, I was half expecting you to talk about Dreymond Green lol
    29
  309. Not the typical channel I like to follow but, man you’re great at what you do. Long story short, I am now a subscriber and fascinated by your knowledge and insight. Great work and love the cause. 🇺🇸🇺🇦 p.s. because you have attracted Russian attention I.e. bots I’d presume also shows how well you’re coming across. Thank you!
    28
  310. I’m unapologetically conservative…but ABSOLUTELY love that you give us unbiased information. You’re doing an outstanding job…keep it up airborne 😉👍
    27
  311. I celebrated the Marine Corps Birthday in 2005 at LSA Anaconda in Iraq with 4 other former Marines in my Ohio Army National Guard Unit, the 211th Maintenance Company, so you are 100% accurate about Marines in the Guard:)

  313. “Translator!!! Where’s the translator?!!!” was the running joke with some people when I was in the Army. Yeah similar experience. We had people from all over. A lot from the South. The funniest accent I thought was the heavy Boston Accents. Those stood out. We were always poking fun at eachother in good nature and company. Good story man!
    27
  314. As someone that was in US Air Force Space Command (NORAD) this seems like a no brainer idea. Thanks again Ryan.
    26
  315. Love the "sulfa please" news paper clipping about a soldier in New Guinea. My grandfather served there and was in charge of getting medical supplies to the front. I still have a bottle of his pills for malaria and might have sulfa also. He spoke of many men using prostitutes there but he knew better and had my future grandmother waiting at home. "Loose lips sink ships" had more than one meaning to him...
    26
  316. I'm from a small town in the south of Ireland and at the courthouse there's two large lion statues with inscriptions dedicated to the Irish men who died in crimea in the 1800,s. Never understood why there was Irish men dying for England in what was Russia back then.. I understand now though.
    25
  317. As a former Army Combat Engineer you did a great job with this video - kudos to you sergeant! If your pondering future military explainer videos, I think military engineering would be an interesting topic for your audience. Especially the aspects of how military engineers support operations through mobility, counter-mobilty, and survivability. Thanks and keep up the good work.
    25
  318. Hey Ryan, I was with the 101st from 1985 to 1988 in a Recon unit and we had six Kawasaki 250 motorcycles, camo. We took them everywhere, on Blackhawks and Chinooks. They were cool. Thx Mike
    25
  319. I’m sure that you are getting so many stories, but may l add one more. My father was aircraft maintenance for 25 years starting with the P-80 and up to the F-4. Korea,Vietnam,Cuban missile crisis . Etc. Your comment about the pilot’s leaving a complaint. Reminded me of a story he told. The pilot left a form with a list of comments on the bird. One was “ light bulb on instrument gauge half burned out “ That had everyone scratching there heads. They new what gauge he was talking about. But what’s half burned out? Come to find out the gauge was lite by to bulbs one on each side. One wasn’t working. Hence half burned out. Miss you Dad

  320. Oh man! The Dr Strangelove spoof was both brilliant and awesome! Well done!

  322. Thanks!

  323. The Thai army let me play with one of their TOWs once on their children's day, probably from Vietnam era, seems like a good toy to play with.
    25
  324. I'm a retired old soldier so you're not telling me much that I don't already know, but I enjoy watching your videos anyway.
    25
  325. As a former marine and combat veteran,desert shield desert storm I love your take on what a marine is
    24
  326. As a former Marine NCO & Army National Guard Commissioned Officer I can honestly tell you that a Marine Corporal and an ARNG LT are at about the same level... While I loved both experiences and the people that I served with... The Marine Corp Flag is what Fly's below the US Flag at my house... Semper Fi!!!

  327. Thank you for making this video! 🙏 It's so frustrating to see all the misinformation from traditional media about the war in Ukraine.

  328. This is an excellent video. I never would have imagined there would be so few vets in journalism.
    24
  329. Ryan and Line Crosser in the same video? This must be a dream
    23
  330. Wow this video brought back memories of the mid 90s. I was a 16t, what is currently 14t. Your explanation of what the patriot system is and does is the best. I always had a hard time explaining what I did in the army and now I can refer to your video.
    23
  331. Bradley crew member here. I loved the Bradley.

  333. I’ve been working in this field for years. I can’t believe how clearly and concisely you covered so many different aspects of this complex topic. Nicely done sir.
    23
  334. I was an engineer in the Navy and with my first ship being the Kitty Hawk, I was anything but bored. I had several friends in the airwing and later made a few airforce friends. I noticed while in the Navy engineering is critical but rarely mentioned but they do show the life of Navy maintainers. BUT the Airforce is in the same boat, no pun intended neither of us get any mentions and yet both branches of the military would ground to a halt becoming completely useless. A lot of civilians I've met can't wrap thier heads around the amount of fatalities the military has during peacetime let alone at war. I tell them we train on war footing, we have to. Some jobs in the military that aren't combat arms are also dangerous most of these jobs are in the ships engineering department flight deck and for the airforce the mass amount of folks that work on the aircraft, and load them and do everything that needs to be done to get that jet in the air. These jobs can't afford to operate at a slower pace. Some jobs you are on a war footing every single day the only thing that changes is you're actually in a danger to be shot at, or that ordnance they are loading is live and it ain't no live fire exercises. The amount of people severely injured or killed is the way it is not because of lazy people "for the most part." To err is human and certain jobs being just a little to worn out and just a fraction slow can cost us our life. Compared to the average civilian of extra paper work, some jobs you CANNOT have a bad day without blood being spilled. For you guys I'll say to them since most have enough interest in the military to tell aircraft, ships etc apart. I'd ask if they have any idea how high off the ground someone is working on top of an F-15. Most say no, how high? And I'll reply high enough for someone going way to long without sleep to get there job done to make the tiniest mistake fall off and land headfirst and die or become paralyzed. Or run over by the various vechiles moving about bomb land on them etc...

  335. As a former paratrooper I thank you for bringing to light the much appreciated and most important of job of being a rigger. in all my jumps I never had an issue with my main, not one, thanks to the EXTREME professionalism and attention to detail of those tough red hat bastards. Thank you riggers for not letting me crash and burn and live to jump another day.

  338. As a form 11M (Rock of the Marne) who served in ODS, I really appreciate your video. Your assessment, as always is dead on. Great job, Ryan! Ironically, my unit used to be 1-4 Inf before it was reflagged as 4-7 Inf. I know you were a member of 1-4 at the CMTC in Heoenfels.
    23
  339. Ryan great break down! I would like to add that the mission areas that you mentioned are all where the enlisted shine as they become the experts in their roles. I am currently separating from the space force and if you have any questions I would love to help educate. Also you mentioned MEO where GPS is but there is also Geostationary (or GEO). Again thank you for this break down more people need to hear this.

    22
  342. This was outstanding! Well-conceived, well-executed, and well-produced. Thank you; you've definitely earned my subscription. (Now I'm probably going to binge a few more of your videos... )
    22
  343. Your last sentence was perfect. That's even what I told kids as a recruiter. You join the Army, you become a Marine.
    22
  344. God damnit, Ryan! Now I have to go watch Iron Eagle......it's been to long. On a positive note, my 12 year old hasn't seen it!
    22
  345. Finally found a video that I can understand about blockchain after binging your Russia Ukrain shorts. Amazing work man 🙌

  346. I'm a Marine and I approve this message. Good night Chesty wherever you are.

  347. As a Marine I think this video was an outstanding tribute the Marine Corps.. I have the highest respect for the US Army, but Marines are just different in their culture.. There is a higher level of pride and brotherhood... IT seems like a fraternity. The indoctrination techniques are quite effective... Semper Fi.. Thanks for your service to the Cyber Auxiliary.

  348. I just learned so freaking much. Thanks a ton man, you're really excellent at explaining things in layman's terms

  349. In 4th ID in 1980, had M113 variant, where the TOW was manually lifted up and a firing station from standard back hatch. 1981 Germany 🇩🇪 got the new "Hammer Head" variation high tech. At the end of the training event if you lasted/lived 36 hours, you turned your vehicle into the wind for simulated nuclear blast. If you survived that, (by distant circle) you got to do full vehicle and personnel decon. Fun times. Maybe you want to do one about Able Archer exercise that scared the soviets so much almost started WW3. 😂

  350. This one time in Afghanistan I was on no sleep for 3 or 4 days, it's hard to remember when you're that tired lol, and we got called out on QRF to blow up an IED. Well, long story short, I was bobbing for cock, I was driving the MRAP, and I almost, almost being the key word, drove the vic into the canal. So, like McBeth said, take roleover training seriously.

  359. I don't know how many times I have had to translate English to English because of accents of the diverse group I work with over the years. French Canadian to Southern, Scottish to Southern, Newfoundland to Southern, various European accents to Southern. The funny thing is the common denominator in almost all cases was someone from the deeper south.

  361. 13B 92 to 94 Air Assault M198 Fort Campbell KY. Great video! Very accurate and kind of got me all fired up! You actually taught me something....The swabbing procedure, in my mind, was to keep the carbon or soot out of the breach area.

  362. Former Canadian WO, i always hated these "dog and pony show" visits. We had them all the time during golf season. Ya, drop by general and mess up our schedules so that you can play golf on the army's dime. As for the training displayed, well we always said you don't rise to your standards in combat, you fall to the level of your training. That being the case, i would recommend investing in the stock of the company making Russian body bags, they are going to have a bumper year.

  363. The Bunker Branding ad at the end was QUAZY!!! Loved the Woz channeling Randy Savage at the end. Now we just need a "Snap into a Shadow Storm" t-shirt.

  364. As a Marine in the Army now, I've never heard it described so well. That last line was absolutely perfect.
    19
  365. I really enjoyed this story. My parents are from Egypt and even though I was born in Australia and lived here all my life, when I turned 18 I was required to go back to Egypt for conscription. I had to serve 3 years, two and a half of which I served with coalition forces in Iraq. Well, closer to 2 years and 3 months, really. I was also in Sinai for some months, though I was closer to the Mediterranean sea than the Red Sea. Great story by Ryan. I really enjoyed it.

  367. Great show on Riggers. When I was in the 82nd in 1975 Riggers were the only Airborne MOS that allowed women. Thank you to all the Riggers. Never had a malfunction during any of my jumps.
    18
  368. Great stuff. I'm in my 50s and thinking about a career change but no degree and an introvert, practically a hermit. A long time ago a buddy was doing certifications and I did some too. A+ and passed an MCSE for NT4 just by reading a large ass book cover to cover even though I've never worked on NT4 in an enterprise environment. I'm sure certification tests have gotten more involved since then.
    18
  369. Ryan this is awesome! I Wish I had your vids a year ago. I recently graduated U.S. Army War College (in Carlisle PA) and as one of the few Air Force guys in the class I had a bit of a learning curve on the Army equipment. Also, I spent some time at ADAB a while back and the breakdown of the air defense incident you gave here is also appreciated (I’ll leave it at that).
    18
  370. Never give up the will. Thanks for that, man. 26-year veteran.. not a scratch. And now this damn covid is putting me through it. You made me smile.

  371. It's easier to support atrocities when you're not the one actually committing them
    18
  372. I am so thoroughly enjoying your videos on the Ukraine-Russia war and it’s super amusing that you switched from how to get a girlfriend and ace your C# interviews etc to anti-tank weaponry 😂 mad respect! Your so charming and funny also. Thanks for these! 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇸♥️

  375. Haitian immigrants who stayed in Mexico (voluntarily or not) ended up becoming part of the community in border town areas. You can see Tijuana and Rosarito has many Haitians working side by side with Mexicans and even aclimating to the environment nicely. Most people there welcomed them because they are hard working folks. I always challenge racially charged rhetoric because people dont like to research anything past headlines and 30 second shorts on social media. Ryan, thanks for taking the time to make this information accessible to everyone. Your hard work is very much appreciated.
    17
  376. Thanks for the info, SFC. I wish I could go to this conference. I’m still a TX peace officer besides being a DoD administrative investigator. This would fit well. My bosses would never let me go TDY for budgetary reasons, though. 😢
    17
  377. 4:19 I'm the poor kid sitting in a crappy home. We're out here man. Keep up the good work. Once i grow up, i'll make sure to come back to your videos to see how far i've made it in life. I also had bad grades, now im in 2nd year IT.

  378. This is awesome Marine history. Didn’t even hear about this in boot camp. Appreciate the knowledge brother!
    17
  379. Quite interesting video as always coming from you, I have just some thoughts on few points you made : 2:14 : It didn't really took that long, this concept and the larger one of combined arms were already established and put to use by French and British Generals during WWI (and not by the German Army at the beginning of WWII like most people think, Dan Carlin's podcast series on WWI untitled "Blueprint for Armageddon" has really good segments on this), the first real exemple of this "exploitation" type of tank is the Whippet tank which see action in early 1918. 2:47 : I know about your experience as an AT specialist in the Army so maybe it's the case on more modern tanks. I can't say, they are not really my cup of tea. However when talking about WWII tanks, the closer your are of a tank the safer it is, because the field of view of the crew reduces and when close enough the tank weapons won't be able to be lowered enough to be used effectively anyway (which is true for every armored vehicle even today but still). And finally on the main subject of the video : The war in Ukraine doesn't show us that tanks are becoming obsolete, it just show to the world once again that tanks aren't unstoppable killing machine, and that combine arms is a thing for a reason, and without infantry support the result is goin to be painful (and expensive), and the Russian Army notoriously struggle with that : WWII, the 2 wars in Chechnya and now Ukraine. They are badly used by a poorly trained army with low moral (Russian Army in Ukraine today, but works for every army from the Middle East which even with really modern equipment, the Irakian or Afghan Armies for exemple, got wiped out by a bunch of highly motivated paramilitary groups). I mean if you put me behind the commands of a F-35 in a War zone I will quickly "prove that planes are obsolete". This situation is quite comparable to warplanes though : the avent of heat-seeking missiles haven't made planes obsolete, even though they are a type of fire and forget weapons.
    17
  380. Ryan, Thanks for taking the time out of your vacation to write, shoot, edit and post your videos. I'm going to show this to my son who is on college break. Maybe he can learn JIRA instead of playing pokemon all day!
    16
  381. Ryan, I found your channel when the war in Ukraine broke out. I enjoyed your explanations of military equipment and strategy--my great great grandparents immigrated to the US in 1903 from Ukraine (what was then Russia). But I also recently transitioned into a career in software engineering after Covid-19 vaporized my prior career. Maybe this sounds weird, but sometimes it feels like your content is custom-tailored to my needs and interests. All of this just to say--thanks. Your content is a breath of fresh air. In a world of sensationalism, its nice to hear a smart, articulate, rational voice putting out good stuff.

  384. Very familiar with SOFA, having spent 20 years in Korea. They’re used to be numerous national incidents where service members ran afoul of local laws. My Korean wife has a SOFA agreement with me. If I come home drunk, I sleep 😴 on the sofa 🛋️ . Cheers 🍻 take care and stay frosty ☃️ 🍺🫵🤟🇨🇦🫡🇰🇷🫡🇺🇸🤟🫵🍺

  385. Hands down the best video you’ve made so far (and that’s saying something since all of your content is amazing). I bought a t-shirt to show some support and will check out the sub stack. Keep up the amazing work Ryan! Love from the paratroopers and IDF in Israel ✌🏻

  386. I am one year into my first cybersecurity job after changing careers from STEM education. My biggest tips for job hunters are to 1) cast a wide net when applying for jobs. If you know you want to be a SOC analyst, apply for those jobs. If you don’t know exactly what you want to do apply for as many different jobs as possible. 2) Be persistent and remember the job hunt is a numbers game. Keep the volume of applications high and reapply for jobs as they get reposted because you will see the same posting again. Finally, I really believe that there is a cybersecurity job out there for everyone, you just have to find it. I work in governance, compliance, and regulation (while looking and interviewing for jobs as a SOC analyst) and it was my experience writing curricula as a teacher that helped me get my current position writing policy and doing audit work. If you stay at it long enough you will find that first job.

  389. Thanks for all of your grate videos. I’m an instructor with the Swedish armed forces. Very inspiring stuff. The onion is a good way to visualise. Thanks for the tip. Hope to see more of these educational tips.

  390. As a Marine I would say you hit it right on the head with this video. Great one. Semper Fi. And an OORAH to my fellow devil dogs.

  392. So i have a Camp Shelby story that is similar to yours. It was the winter of 09. I was im my last duty station before shipping to Iraq. I was a 39 year old CPL. ( I joined about 1 1/2 years after September 11, at 33 years old) while at Camp Shelby i befrinded a CW4 (Kansas)and an E8 ( Master Sgt) ( Washington State). We were in class one afternoon and the Sgt that was teaching the class got upset that i was talking in his class. I was sitting in between the E8 and CW4. The Sgt started in on me and said something like why don't you just teach this class. Well my new friend the CW4 stood up and defend me. He told the Sgt that i was translating for him and the Master Sgt. The Sgt look at me and said i am speaking English. The CW4 again said that he could couldn't understand one damn word the he was saying. The Sgt sounded like your ACNOC partner. I grew up in North Carolina and could understand him as long as he didn't talk to fast. The Sgt asked the 3 of us to just go sit in the back of the class. A day or to later i was in the 1Sgt office (Virginia) and we all had a good laugh. I arrived in Iraq Christmas Eve.

  393. When I was 19 I was enlisting in the Navy when I was in a severe car wreck that cost me my military career. I had spent the previous 5 months PTing w the navy recruiter and the Marines too cuz I had so much weight to loose(>100lbs). The Marine knew I wasn’t interested in anything but my future sub career but made my workouts count and included me in all their things. When my Navy recruiter visited me in the hospital the marine recruiter insisted on coming too. It was just a workout to me but he cared about me even tho I wasn’t “his recruit.” He didn’t just see me in the line up, I was a name, I was a person, I was his man. Thats my story of how I learned who Marines are.
    15
  394. I was a Navy Nuclear Propulsion Plant Operator and Radiological Controls Technician for 13 years. According to my radiation exposure records my total exposure after 13 years was exactly 1 REM. I am also a historian of sorts when it comes to Nuclear Power, Nuclear Weapons, and Radiation/Contamination exposure. This video was the "Bomb"! I mean it was really well done and very factual. There is one thing I'd like to bring up though. Nuclear weapon Yields are NOT proportional in that a 1 megaton weapon will not cause 10 times the destruction that a 100 kiloton weapon will. First understand that a ground burst is the least efficient use of a nuclear weapon, unless you want to destroy a complex deep underground. The majority of the blast wave will be reflected up towards the atmosphere. For optimal surface destruction an airburst is needed at a particular height above the ground. What determines this height is the Incident Wave, direct blast from the explosion, and Reflective Wave, blast being reflected off the surface. There is a point were incident wave and the reflective wave meet and the combined wave causes the most damage but only for a certain distance. This is called Mach Stem. An airburst will create a ring of higher destruction where the Mach Stem was present because both waves cause a combined overpressure. The higher the yield, the higher the altitude for the most efficient blast. The higher the altitude the thinner the atmosphere, thus minimizing thermal effects and blast, and more of the explosive yield will escape towards space. A 1 Megaton weapon is about 5-6 times the destruction of a 100 Kiloton weapon. The bigger the yield the less effective it is considering the cost in materials, energy, and money to create the weapon. Then there is the question of delivery. Megaton weapons have a HUGE amount of Uranium Tamper which is really heavy. Either a large expensive missile for one warhead or a big bomber to drop the bomb. Both threats are easier to take out than multiple independent re-entry vehicles (MIRVs). This is why there are no "Megaton" weapons in an operational (deployable) status in any countries arsenal. Literally, the bigger the bomb "Less Bang for the Buck". I am glad you did not say there was enough Nuclear Weapons to devastate the earth several times over. That is very misleading. If you calculate the average yield of these "deployable" weapons, weapons that have an active delivery platform available, then Russia's average yield per weapon is about 340kt and the US average yield per weapon is about 215kt. If Russia was to carpet bomb an area with all of their deployable nukes to a height that would maximize the blast destruction, then they could only devastate approximately 45,893 km². An area halfway between the size of Maryland (32,131 km²) and West Virginia(63,000 km²). If the US was to carpet bomb an area with all of their deployable nukes to a height that would maximize blast destruction , then they could only devastate approximately 30,088 km². An area smaller then the size of Maryland (32,131 km²). Now that's not to say that life wouldn't suck hard after a full exchange. It certainly would and could bring about the full collapse of a country. Just wanted to add some clarity on certain aspects of Nuclear War. Comments welcome.

  395. I've seen a lot of your videos Ryan. This might be the best you've ever produced. It also allowed a glimpse of some of the complexities and background that has shaped Mr. McBeth. Thanks.
    15
  396. I really hope they take your advice and listen. we want our people back more than anything else.

  397. That answered a lot of questions I've had since I was a kid. It was very informative and cool as Hell. Btw, those men and women jumped just for my birthday on August 9th. How kind of them. This makes me want to jump even more. Thanx for your videos and thanx to the officers and non-coms that helped smooth your trip through the base.

  398. Ryan. I love your channel. I’m a Jersey Boy who lived for 12 years in DC and had the same experience with dropping the accent. I also have some dear friends from MS. This was a special video. Thank you for the laughs.

  406. My Grand father R.I.P Helped create and develop the Patriot missile and AMRAAM Missile he was a Senior Engineer for Raytheon, He also worked for Rocketdyne and Hercules in his younger years after he left the Navy. Thank you for covering this it reminded me how Proud I am of my Grand father, He would have loved this video and could have given you so so so much more information on the Patriot Missile.

  409. Very well done. I served as FO, FDO, and XO in the late 60s in 105, 155, 8-inch, and 175mm units. It was the time when everything went from manual computations to the magic of FADAC. It was a courts-martial offense for the battalion commander to try and use the generator that the FADC had assigned to it. That is just how special that Big Box was. Lots of memories. We took ourselves "out" one night during a critical fire mission. We had to pull the long tubes up off their blocks and relay them. We did it in the dark without much thought about where the shock wave from a zone three mission was going to go. After the third round, the FDC was in shambles; chart tables, radios, the lights, and much of the sandbag roof was on the floor, and we could not even tell battalion what had happened. Guess who showed up at first light? He had wings on his collar. I love that shit!

  418. I deployed with this unit back in 2004 doing what McBeth did. Sucked so much. Not the unit just the deployment. felt like ISAF was a black hole of intel. Canadians were really cool. Oh well. Decided to become a nurse instead. Never been happier. I miss somethings about intel though. I thought I was pretty good at it and many of my NCOs from Night hawk were responsible for that. I still think about you guys.

  423. About to start my new job on Monday as a Cyber Security Analyst at my current company. I've moved internally from their service desk. Fortunately the budget is there for training and I've been told they'll pay for pretty much anything I need. Security+ is first on the agenda.
    12
  424. Currently about to graduate from college majoring in Cybersecurity (though my degree is technically Information and Computer Technology with a concentration in Security). I've also been working in the field for almost a year as a SOC analyst intern. This is very good advice that I've also been trying to follow myself. I don't make the money yet to really save since I'm an intern but I've been trying to find time to study for the Sec+. Ty for reaffirming what I've been trying to tell myself since I started in 2017 😅.
    12
  425. I served in an army that it is better not to mention. The first time I ate in a US Army mess hall, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. If ever I have to go to war against the USA, I will surrender at the first opportunity, just for the food.
    12
  426. I almost always enjoy the sponsor message in your vids. Actually creative
    12
  427. Congrats on an incredible recovery! Never knew this about you. Thanks for a super breakdown of what had to be a rough day for you, and thank you for your service
    12
  428. I think you summed it up pretty well. I was in the Marines from 2010-2016, got out as an E4. I’m in the process of obtaining my commission in the Navy, but I will forever be a Marine first and foremost. It reminds me simply, to do my absolute damnedest to be better than the next guy.
    12
  429. I finally did it, I got the Christmas sweater. Thank-you for the none nonsense programing Ryan McBeth. From Ottawa Canada, cheers mate.

  436. One should not get there news from one source. Especially just Fox or CNN. Love your content I also found you from your Why do Russian turrets pop off. As a former Marine whose only experience close to combat was in Somalia in Operation Just Cause in the 90s.
    12
  437. Enjoyed this… u had me flashing back! 3rd Battalion, 12th Marines 1972. 105’s. No computers in those days… all maps and grids. Thanks.

  438. I remember a discussion in the comments of a video with a guy that claimed to have served. He was a Marine or army...or at least he claimed to be. The discussion was at the beginning of this year. The guy said that in his experience drones are overrated. Now, the guy admitted that he left the Army or Corps 8 years ago but claimed to still have friends in the armed who kept him up to date. He claimed drones can be jammed (and they can be) and that they are unreliable so the Marine Corps made a mistake in getting rid of them. He pretty much claimed that drones haven't changed too much. I just focused on the drones. He mentioned the new active protection systems. I mentioned that they probably won't be that effective against drones. He didn't like that. I never mentioned that they won't be that effective against anti-tank weapons in general compared to reactive armour or just solid armour. I've told him that drones are probably one of the main issues and that the technology to protect the tanks (like an active protection system) is at best in development. Now, there is technology that can protect a unit, be it artillery, tank, infantry from drones but if you take the tanks out that equipment can be used to protect something else. Tanks will need their own protection systems against drones. I never mentioned the new artillery and "smart weapons". The tank is not dead but it sure isn't going to be useful to the Marine Corps.
    12
  439. When I went to Iraq people complained about food because that's what soldiers do. Things weren't fully set up like they eventually would be because this was 2003 and things had just kicked off. When you're the originals, you do the setting up for everyone who comes after. We had a lot of MREs with the occasional hot meal sprinkled in here and there. But we never went hungry. Things were rationed for a while, both food and water. But considering what 4ID had to deal with when they had to switch from the Turkey plan to going through Kuwait, I can't really complain. From WWII on, American military logistics has been first class.
    11
  440. So the point you made about University Maryland is a good one. I worked as an IT contactor many years ago at a telecoms company. One of my tasks was to go around and purchase as many domain names that where similar or where derogatory about the company. Thereby mitigating some of the potential risks to customers that have highlighted here. This can also be applied to e-mail addresses too. Good job for bringing this to public attention. 👍
    11
  441. man that was an awesome breakdown! In a weird way it makes me almost miss Hohenfels.
    11
  442. As an 88N I love hearing the chicken story. We definitely are ahead of a lot of the wold when it comes to transportation and logistics. That being said we are constantly working on increasing and improving our capabilities.
    11
  443. This is by far the best breakdown I’ve ever seen on this topic. You’ve obviously done your research. And if you did it solo, that’s impressive. This is coming from a PhD in nuclear physics for what it’s worth.
    11
  444. APC and a variety of armored vehicles will always be of use. They effectively force the defending military/populace into using AT weapons and these things aren't cheap pieces of kit on their own and every single person can't use one. Limiting small arms capability to dismounted soldiers or gunners. Or heavy military assets. This immunity to small arms fire means that it always has a place, but yeah. You can make a better autonomous tank with more armor and better specifications more easily. Scaled up to the original price and you have a superior, sturdier tank. Cost/benefit ratio of having manned tanks is changing rapidly.

  450. Hello! I’m in the navy and part of my job is aircraft firefighting. If the foam was something that desperately needed to be cleaned, they could rinse it with water and then brush that water off with brooms to clear most of it (source: I’ve had to do it). If freezing is a concern I don’t see why they wouldn’t be able to salt it or something since corrosion isn’t such a big deal on concrete tarmacs as far as I’m aware
    11
  451. As a former Canadian Engineer (041), I really wish you were giving these lectures years ago. Accurate, memorable and non-sleep inducing. Chimo. Well done.
    11
  452. I just went through all this! Happy to say I’ve got my MS and I’m 5 years into a cybersecurity career. Great advice all around. I also recommend volunteering to wear as many hats as possible. Learning a new sub field on the job is a great way to further your interests and career.
    11
  453. Respectfully Ryan, the students who request to use Zoom or text rather than attend a dorm meeting demonstrates students might have better use of their time. Why trudge down the hall to listen to some wank phesant wax important about useless information that is the very definition of "this could have been an email"?
    11
  454. As a former USAF maintainer working heavy cargo birds during the height of Iraq and Afghanistan, I appreciate this video. Also, dont forget after the job is done you still have to turn in tools, type in all the paperwork done on the shift, and give turnover information to the next shift. Then you can go home.

  455. I love it Ryan. Dr. Stragelove! You make a great Peter Sellers. I hope you're wrong and once again, we can "put the genie back in the bottle".

  461. My mother was among one of the first in the US to get penicillin, her mother was a top nurse at a hospital near Ft.Meade in Maryland. My mom was a very young child, and cute, and she had a terrible infection on her leg. The only choice was to amputate. It had not responded to the treatments used at the time (they did treat infection. But it was very difficult to treat.) I am fairly sure it was her super cute looks, and her very good looking mother, helped get her to the top of the list. (My grandmother was also very tenacious and determined). And so my mother kept her leg, and she had my brothers and myself. She has stories about how it was applied and also how BIG the needle was and how slowly it went in! But she is part of Maryland history, and I named my own daughter Evelyn after her great grandmother. My Evelyn is as determined and tenacious as her great grandmother!

  464. I really enjoy listening to The Telegraph for Military commentary because there are vets talking about war. It just makes sense. I enjoyed your description of how to do the necessary research.

  467. Regarding what you said at the end: I'm not here because you're entertaining, and I think same goes for a massive portion of your viewer base. I'm here because in spite of biases that we all have, you are committed to giving nuanced and objective information and qualify the sources of that information. You are experienced, educated, and smart enough to cut through a lot of the BS and move people closer to real facts in what's effectively a peer-reviewed manner, since you constantly adapt your views to other professionals in their fields and realistically have the best shot widescale who to trust. Don't get me wrong, you are funny! That's what gets the algorithm to make a video viral, but what keeps people coming back is a dedication to factual information and total exposure of your biases. You won't change you views or parrot propaganda for some blood money. Keep up the great work. You might be some random Irish alcoholic, but you are using your particular set of skills to make the world a much better place... and that's not even mentioning AeroMed Lab.

  468. Very much enjoyed the video, Ryan. You deserve the traction you are getting on YouTube, keep up the great work! All the best.

  469. When I was in the recon team, anytime we stopped movement, we’d always perform SLLS. Stop, Look, Listen Smell. After spending a week in the woods, you learn that everything SMELLS. Anything that doesn’t belong, looks sounds and smells different. When trash is about, that that smells. And it’s a sign that someone has been there, and they could come back.

  470. That was eloquent, moving. “The Army is something you did; the Marines is something you are.” Beautiful and exactly right. I did the Army. 😊

  471. Thanks! Bang up job, Ryan! Well done.

  472. The video is at once both an informative and entertaining look at how Canada and the United States jointly distinguish friend from for on their northern frontier. Well done sarge, keep up the good work.

  477. Former crew chief here. 1994-1998. Very true brother. I once caught a torn oxygen tube that so many people overlooked on post flight because some of the clowns never did their job. Could've been a serious code and caused pilot black out. . I once caught stator crack in engine too. Did two tours in Gulf. Some guys were sharp others were worthless and scared me.

  480. I did the American Birkebeiner (the largest cross country ski marathon in north America) in Hayward Wisconsin, And roughly the same thing happened.. I got bad directions since there was no hotel near the startline anymore no find anymore no staging area. I get there in the middle of the night before the race. So I'm back in the pack because I had bronchitis flare up halfway through the race and nearly passed over at every aid station along the way. I knew I was gonna get my a** kicked on the race but but I finished because I saw somebody from my club he backed out at the 1st aid station he could.... So one a** kicking of a marathon later, Every time I saw somebody more than once I was shouting encouragement at them and tell them "keep on er keep on er!", even going so far as shouting (kind demeanor) at this nice lady from Kentucky when she expressed doubt...."heck, do it for Rand Paul!". So fast forward to the end of the race race and I'm sprinting down Main Street like everybody does does 3 blocks before the finish line 9:35 before the course closed down, I'm thinking I'll make it across the finish line in my slowest time ever so screw this I'm gonna go and kiss the ground. God had other plans, I get across the finish line I trip and fall and face plant hard into what had turned into ice. I look up from my Impact zone Only to see the world's shortest EMT from the native reservation nearby. She picked me up like I was a loaf of bread. Got carried to the med station, sat there then a bit later walked to the shuttle bus back to the start for my car.... On the way to the shuttle bus I encountered at least half a dozen people who told me they would have quit the race right then and there if it wasn't for me. And in that moment I knew, I gotta come back harder than ever next yearIs and train and train and train some more. So after my recovery period of almost 2 months, I have been weight lifting and doing cardio 5 days a week every week. I may not get a smoking fast time for the 1st time, but for d*** sure I'll be the strongest one there. Leg pressing half a ton already. Gotta fly ttyl

  483. Great video! I'm a retired SMSgt who spent the vast majority of my 24-year career in maintenance. I started out in NDI/JOAP, then shop chief, Fabrication Flight Chief, and then I did other things. I retired in 2005. It was good to hear you say words like AGE, E&E, Red Xs, and all that stuff that rings all my bells, heh! I was impressed that you mentioned JOAP. Oh, the stories I could tell you....

  488. I was a Crew Chief at Loring. SAC Era. First 2 years were in Tanker Phase. Volunteered for the Line. SAC demanded a high bar work ethic. Slackers were not Crew Chiefs, but were usually sent to shift work or maintenance team. Some of us crewed with a bit of...fangs. But a current altitude chamber card, flight physical, shot records, and passport opened doors to a work career that cannot be equaled in civ life. I am more proud of my Master Crew Chief badge than the stripes on my sleeve. Loring. Tip of the Spear. Cold War Era. Hard core. This video earned respect. Good job. Thank you.

  490. Ryan 50 years ago I drew the short straw and got to spend a week in the field as the artillery liaison NCO. I was the driver for the officer who was in charge of artillery. I was a Red Leg and not a grunt. I had one uniform, a poncho and a blanket for a week. My officer put several cases of C-Rats in the jeep witch contained a non portable radio. I was an E-3 doing the job of an E-6. I knew radio protocols. Infantry officers would give fire missions to the Artillery Liaison Officer . He then gave me the battery for the fire mission and I would call it in. So I did it all right. When there was nothing happening I was told to leave the Command “Tent” . Then I placed my poncho on the ground and covered with the blanket. This was until I was called by my officer. I did my job well and ate cold C-Rats for a week.

  518. This is a great video, as it helps people appreciate how friggin hard it is to do seemingly easy things in the military. These flyover missions are terrific training opportunities and drive home the all-critical attention to detail that separates the professional from the dead. We do this so well not because it is easy but because we practice and prioritize this level of precision. As a side note, Air Force command structure doesn't map neatly to Army/Marine. For example, an Army/Marine company maps tactically with an AF squadron, but an Army/Marine company is going to be led by a captain, while an AF squadron is led by an LTC (O-5). Likely this is because in the AF, the officers are largely doing the work of war (piloting/navigating/targeting) and becoming the KIAs, while in the Army/Marines, it's the enlisted folks who largely do the work of war and pay the last measure of devotion. And no, I'm not AF. I was in the Army. Truth is truth.

  533. Ryan, on New Year's Eve, a big fire involved at least two businesses in LA County. By applying some of the techniques I learned by watching you, I determined that the fire was at a location different than what the newswoman said! Ha, I'm such a noob. Anyway, I appreciate your analytical approach to war news and teaching us how to look at news in general critically.

  539. What do tanks offer? High caliber direct fire which cannot be countered without armor (you can't shoot down a 120mm depleted uranium round at 1500m/s reliably in combat) and an armored vehicle that is impervious to most ballistic weapons. How necessary is this on a modern battlefield? Against asymmetric fighting it doesn't offer all that much which cannot be offered by other more versatile and often cheaper vehicles such as IFV's and APC's. Against a non nuclear peer it holds value in its ability to engage other tanks as well as fortifications if there is air parity or better. With that out of the way I look at cost/benefit. Modern tanks run anywhere from $500,000 to $10,000,000. This isn't including the support vehicles, fuel, training, and ammunition. In the past 10 years we have seen modern tanks with reactive armor get disabled by $600 RPG 7's. Not destroyed but disabled and rendered combat ineffective sometimes leading to abandonment. We have seen them get destroyed by ATGM's that cost as little as $20,000. Thus I would argue that reactive armor is moderately effective at protecting the tank and crew from low cost weapons that a peer would not be reliant on. This leaves Active protection Systems which can cost millions per vehicle to upgrade the current stockpiles of tanks with. They are proving somewhat effective against one or two missiles however more advanced ATGM's are breaking through relatively often. We are basically looking at a simple question of "How much value does a tank bring to the battlefield and could it be better spent elsewhere?". Are these tanks doing a massive amount of damage before getting destroyed or are they mostly acting as a canary? It's difficult to say right now as data is influenced heavily by social media. We also do not know what percentage of tanks in Ukraine are being destroyed by ATGM's compared to other weapons. A very conservative number might be you spending $3 million per tank which forces your enemy into arming their infantry with $200,000 worth of equipment to be capable of neutralizing the threat. I actually avoided watching this when it popped up in my recommends as I assumed it would be another "tanks are not obsolete because you will always need tanks" argument. I think Ryan McBeth hit the nail on the head when he says "We might see armies moving towards IFV's" along with APC's. Yes I recognize that this is mission creep. I am not a fan of remotely piloted vehicles as they can be hacked, and have been, with examples of this occurring as far back as WW2. They also do not address the primary issue of cost/benefit as a remotely piloted tank would cost about as much as a crewed tank and are no more resistant to ATGM's. Obviously countries shouldn't abruptly scrap their armored corps right now but I feel that cutting back on acquisition of tanks and spending that money elsewhere may be more efficient in the immediate future.

  543. I also read Team Yankee, and enjoyed it very much. I also enjoy your videos very much. Your New Jersey dry humor sneaks out occasionally. Your the real deal, and we can trust your videos. Thanks for making these interesting pieces. I can relate to your story. I was bored in school. Eaked my way through college. I then discovered I was a computer idiot savant. I picked up server hardware fast. Back to school for certifications. Security, Microsoft server OS starting with NT 4.0, SQL, etc. I became a Principal Computer systems Engineer for Cardinal Health R&D, and developed computerized medical devices for the Pyxis division for 20 years. I loved every minute of those 20 years. I would be driving home and turn around the car and go back to work. It was more fun than a movie and a beer at home. Keep inspiring people, and please insert those funny Army stories when you can. Thanks for the effort you put in your videos.

  552. Obsolete is a strong term and my take is entirely from the perspective of someone whose knowledge on this topic is soley limited to number ($) crunching. With that said, the future of armor seems more promising with IFV's and APC's having a place whereas the tank is overly expensive for what it provides.

  555. The M777 came out a couple yrs after I got out. We were using the M198. 1 thing I noticed that I thought was really cool on the M777 is the primer magazine. That woulda made being #1 man much easier. We had to load each primer by hand after locking the breech. Every Marine would have his own way of holding primers when they would be #1, some holding the next one in their mouth between rounds. Anyway, this was a great breakdown of Arty without making the vid too long. Emplacement & displacement is whole other aspect of Artillery that takes alot of brute strength. Artillery as whole really is an amazing process. Lima Battery, 3rd Bn, 10th Marines, '02-'06

  559. I served in the USMC. Then I went Army National Guard, then I went USAF Reserve (no, not going to join the Navy, Coast Guard, nor the Space Force, I'm going to settle for an impressive hat trick). So every branch has got some strengths and weaknesses. Army has got the highest budget, ALWAYS gets the coolest toys, and probably the most options of were to go in your career. Air Force does'nt actually go out of it's way to make life miserable for it's Airmen (as well as an impressive technical and educational acumen). Navy? The best duty stations, proud tradition, and of course there is no such thing as the USMC without the USN (settle down brothers, we all know it's true). As much fun as it is to make fun of the Coast Guard, they got some pretty high speed dudes, also if you're joining the millitary and looking into a LEO career post service (a fairly common thing) I actually recomend this branch myself. Last but not least? The Space Force. The're new and only time will tell what they can truly contribute to DoD. I used to not recognize them as a branch untill I read an article of their 1st NJP. A Guardian skipped out on formation to go buy an X-Box. After that, I was like "Okay, yeah. You guys are definately a real branch now." Now, the USMC has an uncanny ability to adapt and overcome. Not only that, the Espirit De Corps in the Marine Corps is rivaled by few (I'd say the French Forgien Legion is the closest to us in that regard). Hell, I'd say us Marines are a bit cult like. You beat one of us in a bar, that Marine will be back with his brothers and sisters looking for you. No fucks given. Marines are the only branch to make it mandatory to learn our own history in boot camp. When I was a Corporal, I was never told to go correct "that younger marine" I was told to correct "your younger brother/sister". We have the whole "Once a Marine, you will ALWAYS be a Marine." We're the only branch asked by PETA to stop drinking Cobra Blood in the jungle. Some of you might think I'm knocking on this by comparing it to a cult. Not at all. I actually think the bizzare and weird traditions strengthen us, and give us identity. Every warrior culture in history (Samurai, Knights, Roman Legionaires, Vikings, ETC) have had their eccentricities, we're just keeping that going. Semper Fi my brothers and sisters.

  561. So you were the person that taught me that for one hour in the air they need oh, I think you said 19 hours of Maintenance. I took my mom to see the new Top Gun film and after it was done she said who the hell works on these airplanes. I showed her this video this morning and she loved it. I will also say it is a great video and it's always great to hear about unsung heroes. Take care of yourself, I hope all is well. Godspeed on your triathlon.

  565. Military Logistics are awesome. Like when I went to Macedonia in '93 (USAF) and we brought a couple firemen with us. They never sent us an actual firetruck for them to use. So we joked they had to carry fire Extinguishers around and make siren noises. Then in Early '95 I went to Nairobi, Kenya as an emergency landing spot so planes wouldn't have to land back at Mombasa and clog up the airport there. A couple FRED's (C-5's) into the deployment and they sent us a Fire truck, sans firemen. Spent most of our time guarding that fire truck from the envious eyes of the Nairobi Airport Fire Department. Which you could see their ability by the rolled fire truck left out by one of the runways. Good times.

  567. I know that the question was "could you do it with the Brad.." however- I think if you had the option to do it without the Brad or the troops, I'd take it. I think the only things I would add to that attack plan are the following (11C, so not my main mission, but something I did train for) 1) Spin that Bradley turret ALLLLLL the way around looking through the thermals for enemy in the area. (Woodline, scrub brush, etc..) Could be some hollywood shit where the tank does have a malfunction and the crew decides to set up an ambush. (Prior to Feb 24, 2022 I would have thought that a modern military wouldn't have done some dumb shit like that... but the owners of a sizeable proportion of T-72s have had me scratching my head with their antics. 2) If you've got a hotgun with an Excalibur round, I'd give them the 10 digit grid and let them wreck the tank. (I mean, maybe I'm partial to IDF, but that seems a whole lot safer than fuckin' around to possibly find out. they set up a defensive perimeter around their tank while they wait for recovery assets...and it hadn't seen you yet.) Would require some math for a precise 10 digit grid relative to your position, but short of the newest upgrades, it shouldn't be able to detect a LRF. At the very least if the excalibur misses and the tank is aroused because the crew was asleep inside... the arty already has a FFE area to give you cover to get home, and the tank crew is not going to be hunting for you..

  573. In the Armor community, the platoons are known as Red, White, and Blue platoon for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. 5, 6, and 7 are still the XO, CO, and 1SG. But tank platoons have 4 tanks per platoon. The PL is always the one tank so for example, I'm in blue platoon, or third, so my Platoon Leader is known as Blue 1. The platoon sergeant is always the 4 tank, so he is Blue 4. Each person on the tank also have identifiers over the radio. The gunner on the 1 tank would be Blue 1 Golf, the loader would be Blue 1 Lima, and the driver would be Blue 1 Delta. Love your content boss, yes, I'm a 19K.

  576.  @benjamincarlson6994  the snipers I knew were all very hard core gung ho Marines, meaning they took all aspects of the Marine Corps seriously, including grooming and dress standards. Things change over time, I am sure with the ramp up in activitiy over the past 23 years that there are less garrison friendly snipers in the services. You hit the nail on the head, though, discussing intense attention, such as to a ghillie suit. Never met other humans who could focus more singly yet still be aware of everything around them.

  580. Regarding humidity (covid research helped a lot in this department): At 30% relative humidity, droplets doubled compared to a 60% humidity environment. It's not that more material appears from nowhere but the chemicals or gas is able to more easily exist as smaller particles rather than grouping together into larger globs. This then allows them to disperse further on the wind or via the first dispersal explosion, in the case of these bombs, prior to the 2nd explosion that ignites the aerosolized mixture.

  582. I recall a time when I was working in Europe and had the opportunity to speak with EPD Personnel and learn a bit about their role and their job in a training environment. It was a wonderful experience and I'll never know how they fit themselves into the bomb suit with their great amounts of courage.

  585. Canadian soldier, multiple deployments including NATO, UN, and Afghanistan over my 35 years in. Thank you for your kind words. To expand on your points; A major reason for accuracy with the C7 was the availability of an experienced core of instructors who had been trained on the C1 rifle ( a FN FAL clambered in 7.62) to shoot to a standard that included 600m range. Practicing consistent shooting at 600m over iron sights with a rifle that, if held incorrectly, can brake your shoulder has a tendency to develop solid shoot skills😅 We also continued with the older training profile, so throughout the late 80s and early 90s we were still started our range fireing at 500-600m. Between the lighter recoil and advanced sight it was rather ordinary to have 90% + of our troops shooting "marksman" qualification. Yes, the C1 was a pig to carry (11 lbs loaded) and only had semi auto action ( one squeeze of trigger, one bullet) with a magazine of 20 rounds ( only load 15 because of old springs in magazine) As for us being the world's policeman. We were stiffener troops. A platoon of our inf troops combined with a few CSS (Combat Service Support) troops mixed in with, and tasked to train/lead a couple of hundred 3rd world troops ( no insult, these 3rd world troops were sold most of the time, just poorly trained and kitted) . The reason we were deployed to the UN was, frankly, money. Our government arranged that any Canadian forces used by the UN would be paid by the UN. Basically, the Canadian government got a "credit" for its soldiers deployed with the UN. This "credit" was applied against Canada's UN bill. As for our present military readiness, well i have taken up enough of your time so, to sum up, we are exhausted. We pushed all we could into Afghanistan. At its end we shipped everything home and reused it. Yes, years of hard battlefield service and then shipped home and handed back to the units. Add the massive loss of troops from , retirement, burnout, and suicide ( note, these losses were composed of most of our experienced leaders and instructors), and then to top things off we changed government to a group that has admitted to believing that soldiers are not required in this "more enlightened time" and so cut basic maintenance programs, and looked to replace antique equipment with outher countrys worn-out cast offs, while ignoring/cutting benefits to disabled veterans. As you imagine the thought of joining a army that is used for "stability tasks" in war-torn countries, equipped with 2nd hand cast offs and relics, by a government that is neither willing to admit to the public that you are going, or to help soldiers recover/live with the injuries caused by their service, isn't high on the average teenager. The only advantage we have, and the one governments from the beginning of Canada have depended on, is we are adaptable. 😅 snd crazy in a fight 😊

  587. You know I only discovered your channel like a month ago but I seriously love your approach to explaining things and how knowledgeable you are. I'd also like to say you've earned mine and a lot of other people's respect. you served in the military and gained rank, You actually tried to help with the situation in Ukraine, and coming from a military family I really respect that you volunteer your time to serve your country still by teaching cyber security to the Marines.

  588. Thank you for another great video Ryan. I'm curious on your thoughts on if China might not need to defeat the US militarily in a hypothetical conflict, but rather bloody our nose enough that support for a conflict would turn like it did in Vietnam (say if China sank an aircraft carrier or forced the US to spend ever increasing amounts of money to sustain operations).

I still call myself a wrench turner, but if I had a nickel for the amount of times I've sat looking at dozens of wiring diagrams on a toughbook screen trying to find what wires are most likely to be compromised while troubleshooting some unique problem while BSing in the designated smoking area trying to see what other ideas people have, while smoking like a chimney out of frustration in 20 degree weather because I've been working an intermittent problem for 2 days straight and I just want to be done with it after crawling through my bird for the fifth time hunting for anything that stands out to me as a potential failure point... I would have significantly more than 2 nickels... and I only did a single enlistment. The fighter maintainers with intense schedules that have to run intercept missions to tell the Ruskies that the Bear ain't all that in similar conditions? Mad respect. E4 Mafia unite.

Anyways, this was my biz as finnish conscript. Good memories. Unfortunately I was a troop transport truck driver with combat engineers, so I received most of the powerpoint presentations the actual combat engineers were taught, but just some of the practical training and none of the qualification tests. My duties with maintaining vehicles got in the way of the stuff that actually would've been cool.

  612. I spent the last three of my ten years at Campbell. I was in 311th MI BN. We operated a brand new system, Trojan Spirit. We were the first team to sling load it in the field. Two shelter carrying humvees each with a different load balance. One regular trailer mounted generator and a large satellite dish on the other trailer. First mission ended up with every light in the maintenance shelter busted. And that’s why we train.

  613. 3rd Brigade, 101st was a special place to serve, especially 3/187. I reported in early 2002, when the Brigade was one of the first in Afghanistan. I missed that deployment, but six months after they returned, we were all in Kuwait staging for the Invasion. I left 3/187 in 2004, but I will say that there was a high level of pride and esprit de corps during my time there. We were expected to know the unit's history, including that 3/187 was the highest decorated Airborne-designated unit in the Army. When I reported as an E-1, we wore five awards of the Presidential Unit Citation-Army (PUC), a Valorous Unit Award (VUA), two Meritorious Unit Commendations (MUC), and an Army Superior Unit Award (ASUA) as temporary decorations. The battalion also had a Navy PUC, Philippine PUC, and Korean PUC. In 2003, we added another PUC and a MUC, and over the years since I left there were a number of other unit awards added. One thing I was always told was that there are a handful of battalions in the Army that officers pre-selected for service in 75th Ranger Regiment are sent to, 3/187 being one of them. Of course, officers in 75th RGR need previous leadership time, and sure enough, a lot of our Lieutenants left for 75th Ranger after we returned from Iraq. One was a freakish runner (something like a 9-minute 2-mile-run time), and when I was on recruiting duty years later, sure enough, that former 2LT I knew was a MAJ in 75th RGR and was pictured in the desk calendars we handed out. I've had 1SGs call 3/187 a "Baby Ranger Battalion", and when CSM Hardy, a career Ranger, spent a couple of years in the 101st waiting for a position to open in Regiment, he served as an OPs SGM for a few months before taking over as CSM for the Iron Rakkasans. Another seemingly close relationship between units and personnel assignments is between the Rakkasans and the 3rd US Infantry Regiment "The Old Guard" (TOG). COL Joe Buche had been a CPT in 3/187 during the Gulf War before taking over a company in TOG. He assumed command of 3/187 in 2003, then took over as the TOG Regimental Commander (RCO) in 2007. Also, Joseph B. Conmy (the building where most DA Retirements take place on Fort Myer is named after him) commanded 3rd BDE, 101st during the Battle of Dong Ap Bia (Hamburger Hill), and had also been a TOG RCO. The 101st is truly unique in its capabilities. I used to urge Soldiers to attend Air Assault School if they had the chance to go to one school. During my first TOG tour, Air Assault and Airborne were fairly easy to get, but I'd tell the Soldiers that AASLT is the more useful, UNLESS they were planning to go to an Airborne unit. Air movement operational planning, sling load operations, and even the rappelling phase are all useful, and the physical requirements are a bit more stringent, with the obstacle course and ruck marches. I never went back to the 101st. I loved my time there, but as a Rakkasan I'd have wanted to go back to 3/187. Considering the Army Regimental System was essentially done away with, I might have ended up in another brigade entirely. Everyone knows about Regimental affiliation, but few know that until the early 2010s there was a regulation behind it. Essentially, a Soldier could go to Fort Campbell in the 1970s and be assigned to 3/187, PCS to Panama and got to 1/187, then return to Campbell with a guarantee of going back to 3/187. The grass is always greener and the best units are the one you're going to and the one you just left. I knew a repeat assignment would be disappointing, and this proved true during my second TOG tour.

This way, youtube create a kind of summary on the "advancement bar" and we can go directly to one specific part of the video that we are interested in. Something like this : 00:00 intro 01:00 Question list 02:00 Tow vs Javelin 03:00 blabla etc. Appreciated!

Oh gawd I have done the same thing on the Air Force, the roll- a- deck part always went through our heads about what we had done and what we got caught for was always a relief for me because it was always the least thing I did. And the part of the chew out and don't get caught again was great. I raise a 🍺 in your honor 🖖. If I ever meet you we can trade stories. Ha ha

I enjoy your expertise and content - you know what you know and don't claim to know what is beyond your knowledge base - if only others who are always proclaiming they know "the truth" would be 1/2 as grounded it would be a much better social media environment! Keep up the great work!

  627. Not considering the military aspect of it, I would say it's mostly a cultural thing, and/or even a local generational thing. Here in my country (Portugal) I notice it as mostly a bad habit of some people. In some cases it depends if it is already a family/friends/local background habit, but I think it's mostly a generational bad habit - I notice younger generations are getting much more cleaner. Regarding the Military aspect of it, I think I may have to agree with You on that. I served in my country's military, and oh boy, Tidyness was rule! A dirty soldier is a soldier in trouble... serious trouble! And yes, we were (at least my platoon was) educated in combat garbage management techniques (we were Cavalry Scouts).

  635. An interesting note about the logistics and support of fighting forces is how the Roman Imperial Legions handled some of it. They, while on the March and in the field, tasked ordinary legionaires to carry much of his own extended provisions in the form of wheat and salt to decrease the size of their baggage trains. Additionally, legionaires did the bulk of the engineering labor for their fortified field cantonment and bivouac sites if they were away from their occupational base forts and they built most of the roads that allowed the Empire to function for centuries. Their engineering efforts are still standing and functional today in some places. There were engineer officers and dedicated engineering auxiliaries, as well as logistical and transport support but the bulk of the labor was done by the actual legionaires and auxiliaries. On a military historical trivia note, Daniel Boone, Benjamin Franklin, and Dr. Benjamin Rush were noted logistical contributors in the French and Indian War and the Revolution. Daniel Boone was a teamsters on the ill-fated Braddock campaign and Franklin outfitted the British expeditionary and colonial militia on that campaign with many of the wagons and livestock used by the teamsters and quartermaster. Dr. Rush financed a significant amount of the support for the Continental troops and was a proponent of an IG for army.

  636. When I was 10, I had to move up to russia from ukraine with my mom in 1999, we were pretty poor, so yepp, I remember the times of going to school without having any meal in the morning, or some tea with cookies and I had no meal with me from home to eat at school, also, we had a buffet at school, but we had no free school food, even though, my mom paid something monthly like everybody did to our "free school", if you didn't, your kid would have a worser grades, teachers would point at this kids, and a lot of other stuff like that, so in the buffet you could by pirozhki, candies, 3 in 1 coffee, tea.., I even remember the times when I had a stomach ache, but I was not sure why I had it, once or twice I went to the medic in school, she said that I am lying about my stomach, because I want to go home and not study in school, ofcourse I would love that ANY DAY like 95% of pupils in class, but I no, I had a stomach ache, so she checked me, said that it feels like I have an empty stomach and she asked me - Did you eat in the morning? I was so scared to say that I didn't, so I replied - Ofcourse I did! I didn't wanted my mom to have problems, cuz my dad at the time was nowhere near and I was with mom, only person I knew in russia. So the medic put me back to class and I had to try not to fall asleep and fight hunger, lol. Since my mom was a ballerina (how stereotypical for the USSR, right?) she worked 2-3 jobs of teaching kids and adults to dance, and she had some concerts sometimes where she took me with her, sometimes it was the military units places where her girls, women danced to soldiers (nothing more) on some official and not concerts. And I remember when I could just go anywhere and explore the military bases, units, hangars with some old soviet tanks, cars and sometimes even weapons, yes, not everytime, few times I had a soldier with me that had to look after me, they showed me how some stuff works, but I remember how most of the time they were just bored to be with me and wanted to go to talk to girls that were not dancing, they just told me to behave and not touch anything of military equipment, of course I almost didn't, haha, so I had like 2 or so hours to walk around, I remember seeing soldiers on duty with AK, I guess they were instructed about some kid like me or so because they never said a thing to me, or they just didn't care that a kid is walking around at base, but since the invasion of Ukraine and all those lack of discipline, those memories started to arise from my memory, because I remember clearly how I asked soldiers about what they were doing here in the army, and they only reply was - marching many times every day, keeping the areas of the base clean, and dismantling weapons, I even asked some older officer the same question once, and he replied something like - they do nothing here, they just play the fool. The best thing I remember from this experience if a military food, naval pasta and tea, but it was good probably because I had nothing the whole day, and it felt like gold on an empty stomach. When I moved back to Ukraine in 2004 when I was 15, and got into cadet military school, it was way better experience than in russia, Nizhny Novgorod (6 hrs from Moscow) we were still poor, but we had food in school, free food everyday, (not sure how was it in an average school), but we had food, extra yummies was to take bread and put it into your side pockets on military pants and eat it later, when it is dry and crusty, our officers hated us doing that because it was "not a good look for a cadet" if some high rank officer would see us or even our parents, lol, but we still did it, we had no sweet stuff at the military kitchen, so to eat some once a week or month was like a heaven when the buffet was open in studying campus. I hated cadet school because we had to train a lot and be disciplined, and I always remembered thinking - damn, I wish we had less stuff to do here as I saw in russian army when I was 10 🤣. Cool story Ryan, thank you, keep the stories coming.

  669. I retired with the 76th IBCT patch on my right shoulder. Indiana does a pretty good job of giving Soldiers realistic training thanks to some forward thinking individuals and having training sites like the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center and Camp Atterbury. MUTC is like an amusement park of scenario training for Soldiers. I don't know the Soldier in the video and can't see a name or rank (likely for a good reason) but he does a great job.

As a bonus you can use python to send a queries .And I have to say as embedded software engineer all of those skill are very very useful( I touched them all except of pmp ). Also I suggest to learn well UML and how to write HLD(High level design) and LLD (Low level design) . Good software design will save allot of trobles .Its my 2 cents.

  681. I think it's because the US generally seeks air supremacy(complete control) and tries to seek air superiority(general control of the air). You don't need SAMs as much when you have an airforce that can supress all relevant airfields and perform all sorts of counter air actions. Even there, there has been work on new ground based air defenses(see IMSHORAD, the new stinger replacement in the works, and also all the counter drone stuff). Also look at the USN's Aegis system instead for what USA has the potential to create in terms of air defense.

  684. 2:31 SAAB training systems also manufacture something simillar to miles gear. But they also have solutions for building up an entire training town where they have these sensors for walls. It even alllows things like this wall will protect you against small arms rounds but if the enemy shoot at you with a carl gustav you will get taken out. With systems also for tanks and simulating artillery fire. I had the pleassure of training at STA MOUT Kvarn with my reservist homeguard unit, really cool.

  706. Ryan, as a retired 12B4X8, I would like to tell you that was a great video! The only things I think you missed was surface laid row MFs (which was our most often used method) and breaching with hand emplaced explosives (also something we did on every FTX). Great job!

  707. Ha! Ha! A specialist is like a senior private. Yep. As you lightened your gear, when I first arrived in my unit in I Corp Vietnam, I weighed 155 also, and was assigned an M60 and accompanying ammo belts, and all the other gear. And like you, I found a way to slightly lighten the burden. Took the camo cloth off the steel pot, took the steel pot off the fiberglass inner liner, put the camo cloth over the liner, tucked the bottom edge under, next to itself, and carried on.

  710. I know that modern commercial aircraft have 3 or 5 computers "voting" for the right solutions.. so if one goes rogue, the others can handle the flight until landing. Of course, those are like big and slow elephants, compared to fighter jets. They still watch every system a few times every week. They carry a tad more passengers than fighting planes tho. As you say, the jets can do some mind bending maneuvres, so if you don't want stupid stuff to happen, you better make sure and double sure that not one screw is loose. Maintenance matters a whole lot... And you do need someone who know where every screw is supposed to be.

  712. Aaand while I may be a former engineer "HT" in the Navy I've loved aviation my whole life. My original rate was supposed to be AD which is a powerplant mechanic. And certain particulars of my job made me stick out somewhat and being friendly made several friends in the squadrons so got to spend my offtime on the flight deck. And really wanting to see how it was done kept getting told you don't seem like an idiot so here's these tools and we'll coach you on what to do, get that full first hand experience. Don't mind us taking a break behind ya we'll make sure you don't mess up lol. It led to the CO of our Tomcat squadron VF-154 personally coming down to my shop to find me as he felt I could pull off this crazy idea of doing a braze job on a Tomcat. I succeeded. On my last ship I recived an award from the Co of USS Boxer a ship I had never served on. One of thier CH-46's had a problem and I assisted them the entire time aboard including removing and replacing an engine. So as an engineer while I'll give wingnuts shit it's not too much because I definitely have a soft spot for that line of work in all branches.

  716. Tanks aren't obsolete, they will just be used differently & evolve based on the needs of the soldiers. Personally I'm of the belief that material science will have a breakthrough for armor and create something that nullifies/weakens current AT tech. Like the man said, Spear and Shield.

  717. As a former Marine, I’ve never heard us called “Army Junior”. That’s borderline laughable. When we screwed up in boot camp, we were called every name in the book by our Drill Instructors, but the worst insult was being told “You should have joined the Army!!!” Lol did that always sting. 🤣🤣🤣 But yeah, Saddam always said that the only military he feared were the Marines and the French Foreign Legion.

  722. Slip Away!, I have heard that quite often. The adrenaline rush and the noisy chaos moving toward the jump door, feeling the gentile tug as the chute deploys, then the silence and serenity of floating towards the drop zone. The "Hollywood" jumps off of the ramp of a Chinook at 7,000 ft. were an awesome way to spend a Saturday morning. This was a really great video, you really captured the realism of what it is like to jump. The equipment has been upgraded since my time, though I learned quite a bit of what goes on behind the scenes.

  733. Fabulous presentation! Just simply fabulous! You have taken a very complex topic and presented in a manner that most anyone can understand! I highly recommend to anyone who comes across your YouTube channel to support you financially! You are a refreshing voice of accurate information that can be understood by anyone with a reasonable education! I do hope that you are able to continue your efforts. I'm a 68-year-old engineer that has worked in the nuclear industry. I believe that we are living in the most dangerous time of my life. Accurate, concise, and agenda free information is absolutely essential for the "common" man so he can have an educated understanding........ OH GOD, I SOUND LIKE MY DAD!

  736. 2:31 I have not always agreed with you on opinions, but this is literally why I've subbed to your channel. You are a man of integrity, and it took my naïve self until my 30s to realize that this is unfortunately an uncommon virtue. Well done on striving for true objectivity and raw, unfiltered analysis.

  737. 3-187 INF Rakkasan is my alma mater and regimental affiliation. RAKKASAN! Just a fantastic, storied regiment in arguably the best Infantry division in US history, the 101st Air Assault. I've never felt particular pride of being a veteran of the US Army. It was a job that needed to be done. I was there to do it. But I'm fiercely proud of the regiments I've served in. The Rakkasans stand tallest of those regiments. Giants.

  763. LOL! 😂 I know Bradleys because I was an M2A2 Bradley IFV 45T10 turret mechanic. You ship these bad boys to Ukraine and the Russians are in for a world of hurt. Now I'm not saying that the M2 Bradley is the be-all, end-all of warfare in a "near-peer" engagement, but when you combine the firepower of the 25mm chain gun and the "hell-on-a-wire" of the TOW2 missile supporting a tank, some right serious shit's gonna go down. Make no mistake, the M2 has it's flaws, but this is exactly the deployment the Bradley IFV was designed for. Just to add a little background, I was the lead M2 turret services mechanic for 2/7 INF BN, 24th ID during my active duty days from 1992-95. My previous MOS was 12B10 Combat Engineer. I was attached to the scout platoon of HHC 2/7 as their "forward mechanic" and performed 12B duties as well. Any 45T mech worth a shit had a notebook of common M2 turret faults and how to fix them without busting out the STE-ICE diagnostic gear (think OBD-II tool the takes up an entire Snap-On van to haul around). If you've got your head screwed on straight, keeping a Bradley in working order isn't a tough job. Once the crew learns the peculiarities of the system, they're good to go. The gun is fully stabilized and the TOW system (on early models) needs the M2 to be nearly stationary, but once you're familiar with the system, it's just fucking deadly. Combine the Bradley's ability to suppress enemy armor and it's ability to haul infantry at "combat speed," using them in a combined-arms scenario with armor and artillery support vs the Russians is just gonna be a slaughter. Remember: You can take ground with armor and/or air power. But you can't keep it without infantry. When you combine the speed of maneuver of armored warfare with the screening and holding power of infantry, you have a recipe for victory. Yes, tank-on-tank warfare is usually decided by who gets the first shot. But when you have a tank, an IFV, and dismounted infantry looking for threats, the chance of being the one to see the enemy first goes up drastically. Tanks and IFVs at best have two persons each scanning for threats. When you add a dismounted infantry squad you get six more sets of eyes on the battlefield with the M2. Now if we compare a the "eyes" available between an M2 Bradley paired with a modern tank and a BMP2 similarly paired with a modern tank, the BMP comes out ahead as they generally carry 7 troops vs the Bradley's 6 - so you get 10 sets of eyes with a Bradley and tank vs the 11 sets with a BMP2 and a tank. However, the Russians don't use them in this manner. Doctrine notwithstanding, Russian commanders aren't using IFVs and tanks in "combined-arms" settings. This means that a proper M2/MBT (main battle tank) pairing has 10 sets of eyes scanning for targets vs the Russian's two sets. When armor kills are generally decided by who sees whom first, you do the math. And when a Bradley lases your position, you're going to experience a "significant emotional event". Segway: I drove an M113 as a "combat mechanic" on active duty. They get a lot of shit for their shortcomings, but I can say first hand that they can drive places an infantryman can't walk.

  768. Former 19d here. When we called for fire it is all the same, except we gave a direction in mills and distance in meters to target we never gave elevation. But that makes since. They needed the way we were looking at the target so when we adjusted they knew left was left or right is right add was add and drop was drop. Great video, brings back memories. Thanks.

  780. Mak is ok. Only downside is low capacity and ability to quickly change the mags. (so operators attach small para cord to mag release lever) mak is reliable, compact and light. Thing to keep in mind, when mag is empty and slide locks back, some operators might automatically engage safety, that might unlock safety lever from slide and it will fall out. Good luck finding that tiny thing in grass. Oh yeah, also keep mak in holster and not in your pant's pocket. It will rust after couple of days in the field and safety lever will seize. Ask me how i know.

  798. My plan would be a variation of Ryan's ; the Bradley probably carries 2 Javelins, as well as one M249 gunner. Here are the various steps : 1) The automatic rifleman with his M249 sneakily takes position around the top of Hill 127, to ensure he has a good field of fire, especially on the T-72. If 3 crewmen disembark from the T-72 and don't show signs of surrendering, he should gun them down, or at least suppress them. 2) The Javelin team fires at the T-72, from a position at least 30m away from the M249 and 100m away from the M2, and immediately takes cover to reload. 3) If the T-72 isn't destroyed, the M2 fires a TOW. 4) If the T-72 isn't destroyed, the M2 fires a second TOW. 5) If the T-72 isn't destroyed, the M2 uses its M242 on the T-72. At the same time, if the T-72's tank commander pops his head out of the turret, the AR hoses the tank commander, killing him or reducing the tank's situational awareness. 6) As soon as 5) begins, the Javelin team runs to a firing position to engage the T-72 with its last missile, and then immediately runs away. With up to 2 Javelins and 2 TOWs fired at the T-72, as well as several bursts of the M242, I doubt the T-72 would still be combat effective.
    3
  799. You make a compelling argument as the potential for accidents at home (I have kids) and the fear that a home invader gets my gun are the primary reasons I don’t have a gun. I don’t enjoy range fire enough, I don’t feel the need for home defense enough to take the risks. With this…. I’m considering. Thanks for this.

  802. I served in the Marines. And I've been thinking about the Army. The US Army is more focused on engagement with local populations. And I think it really culminates in the US Army Special Forces. They are the intersection of the Army, and the CIA, which is also heavily focused on people in foreign lands. The Army is much better equipped to do things like win hearts and minds, work with the local governments and fighting forces. Things of that nature. As far as basing a career, the options are many times greater in the Army as well. Anyhow, there is no doubt in my mind that the Army and National Guard play a critical role for our country.

  804. Yeah, we never stole anything...just "reappropriated" it!! During tank gunnery drills in Grafenwöhr, it was always during the winter and colder than a well diggers ass!! I drove for our company commander and didn't have doors for my jeep. (Jeeps predate the hummer) so oner night me and a couple of my friends went on a "mission" to get doors for my jeep. We found an MP's jeep outside a Gasthaus in town and we "reappropriated" their doors!! Next morning the captain was very happy AND WARM on our way to chow!!

  813. Marines are special. As a soldier, I never felt the need to be special. We got our mission, we executed our mission then got our next mission. I have conducted missions with marines and have a lot of respect for them. We used to fight on sight when I was younger but we had a real enemy to fight so practice was over. Inevitably a marine would bring up our rank structure or our tactics. Marines are the sword; we are the hammer. They cut through the enemy with precision; we smash.

  828. At last someone that made a video of us maintainers that push every day to make planes fly as birds...I am AGE but originally at Avionics so I worked in and out of the planes in the flight line for 18 years and almos no one remember us in movies or real world, that's a shame that almos everyone think everyone is pilot in the Aur Force

  834. Thank you VERY much for this Video. I am an old F-4 crew chief that still has scars on my back (and wear them proudly) from all the various antenna and other items the tend to reach out and grab you. I was cut trained on how to work on F-15 / F-16 but as they told us. If you can work on an F-4 the rest is easy. Thanks

  846. Just like to say to you Ryan Thank You for all the time and effort you put into each and everyone of your videos. We all appreciate very much. Those of us who didn’t have to serve have never even seen some of this equipment not only the U.S. but other armed forces. Your doing a great job and please continue. Much respect my friend. 🇺🇸💙🚔🇺🇸🇺🇸

  851. It's funny, that's the best way Ive ever heard it put. As long as I can remember being a marine is the only thing I ever wanted, I've looked at every other branch but they're not for me, I'm a marine at heart from a line of devil dogs. I leave soon to earn the title, and earn my right to call myself a marine. But to me, it's just finally getting where I belong, its who I am.

You are the only other guy I've met that was on a QRF team. Thanks for making videos like you do. Its nice to hear a level-headed, educated and experienced, and non-political view on military stuff going on in the world (and in the past).

How to offer some smart c word a fight in the pub car park, and win, how to drag a struggling horse off a patch of ice with your bare hands, and how to make the perfect turkey and stuffing sammich. I am a simple man, of simple means and simple intelligence. I acheved all three of these aims this year. Result ! Have a happy new year Ryan. Seriously. You are a legend mate.

  877. ryan. i am truly impressed - you have really outdone yourself this time! 🫡👏 7 years usaf here, and i have long been aware of some of this. delta 5 out of vandyland makes a huge amount of sense! wright pat has long been an r&d center for usaf. those functions already existed there, as for the colorado bases, i just know the usaf has huge presence in tx & co, but that's it. for me it was "join the air force and see texas." trump made the right call here, although at the time i wasn't fully aware of why that was. it seemed counter intuitive to expand bureaucracy rather than contract it as he was prone to do. thank you for clearing that up for us.
    2
  878. Another fantastic, engaging, and highly informative video, Ryan! Well done! Thank you.

  886. i'd really like more of this 'medium' length content. Your shorts are great for a quick info injection, and I love Perun's 1h+ videos to listen to in bed, but 12-20 minute analysis videos would be great for listening to throughout the day.

  888. Essayons! US Sapper, and experienced minefield planner here. Great video! You probably know more about mines now than any other grunt! Some of your generalizations must have come from our allies and partners, because they are simply not true for the US, and in a couple cases, the opposite is true. I hesitate to point them out so that our capabilities and tactics remain obtuse. Your video is so good at helping people understand mine warfare, I don't want it to be TOO good! Even I learned a thing or too. Keep up the good work!

  895. Insightful, but be careful sacrificing sacred cows because the sacred cow brigade get humpy. The A 10 was the high end Apex predator of its type. Fantastic to call upon in a non-contested environment but not so much in a contested one. There’s a tendency in human endeavour to continue to fight the last war. Ground attack/air support (combined arms doctrine - call it whatever you will) was pioneered WWII - became doctrine through Korea/Viet Nam/Iraq 1 & 2. And all seemed quite successful. The road of death in Iraq 1 was “proof” that ground attack was “still cutting edge”. The argument is the same as those who now claim tanks are “done” on the battlefield post Ukraine because the infantry portable anti-tank missiles render them obsolete. I would argue that all weapons platforms require appropriate use in appropriate environments. Yes, tanks are vulnerable BUT is there a better platform for providing line of sight direct and immediate fire on the enemy in a localised engagement? Probably not…..yet. The A 10, however, does have other platforms. HIMARS/Artillery for one. Drones for two. Close air support roles seem increasingly linked to counter-insurgency and not peer on peer confrontations. Interesting piece of work Ryan.

  897. I was with the 82nd Abn (504th Inf) back in 1971-1974 & then again (307th Eng this time) from 1979 through 1984 and I can say things have really changed. We used the T-10 parachute then (round canopy without any opening) and a totally different reserve that had the ripcord on the right side. We mostly jumped from the C-130 or the C-141 (I also made one jump from a C-7 Caribou). It looks like they really fixed up Green Ramp, all I remember was a large area with a metal roof. I don't remember any benches but my last jump was over 34 years ago so I could be wrong.

  918. When my son was with the 173 Airborne his company flew from Italy to Spain to train with Spanish airborne. They would have parachuted in except for high winds. It was great training with others, and eating Spanish food. This happens frequently. Internet warriors and strategic planners really are clueless!

  941. I dont subscribe to substack because I get enough of you here, but this video is well worth the money. The amount of disinfo from these "journalists" melted my brain.

  954. Hi Ryan, an ex-combat engineer in the IDF here (retired even from reserve duty today). I follow your channel and to be honest the minute I saw that movie I said - I wonder what Ryan to has say about it :) I was happy to see that we were in agreement here. So here's my 2 cents: Its clear from the video that 1-3 legs were blasted in a surgical pin-point operation. In order for the tower to fall, you would need to adjust the explosives to perform a cutting action (probably using plastic explosives or explosive "flakes" which can be carved to shape). A simple explosion, like from a drone bomb, would disperse to many directions and will not being strong enough to do this kind of damage. BTW: loved the Tao of the Soldier. Made me smile thinking about my experiences in the army. Thanks for the great content!
    2
  955. Cheers from fort Stuart btw

    2
  982. I’m a maintainer and this is nice
    2
  983. Wow! You have done something very special and educational with this video. I have never heard anyone been able to explain what radiation and nuclear energy bomb technology really works in such a short period of time. This video should be a must watch for teachers and high school students across the country. I am 49 years old and I like you remember the old yellow fallout shelter signs that were at one point very visible around the county. In fact I still remember where one of those fallout shelters still exists.
    2
  984. I very much enjoyed your video Ryan. I'm currently serving as a junior officer in the military industrial complex. I might be a junior officer right now, rather than a senior officer, because of my time is the Likership. The book on human error getting to yes both sound interesting.
    2
  985. I watch a lot of youtube and lots of war stuff but i've never seen this channel before, but many other (hundreds) pop up all the time even if i'm not a subscriber or even if i've never even watched their videos lol (i guess they're spending money to boost their visibility or something). Now i'm subbing this! And thanks (i live in sweden). Now we got the NATO lake with a full circle of NATO countries. Bad news for putin

  986. Enjoying my HIMARS Tshirt. It looks like VICTORY! Just a note that you definately already know. During the Civil War one of the most prized covers was the Slouch Hat. So even then you had a choice. I def would prefer the slouch hat (have three now) for weather. Covers ears, face, neck, eyes. And so comfy.

  992. Am a simple man, i see Ryan's video i give a thumbs up instantly. Keep up!

  993. Nice touch with the ending. (No spoilers)
    2
  994. I'm in highschool and am undecided between army and marine. I was first drawn to the idea of service by the army, but seeing the increase in training, modernizing of forces, traditional boot camp, and general unwavering pride from being a marine has been pulling me closer to going marines. Thank you for making this video, it has given me a lot of information that the internet does not want to give a clear answer to.
    2
  995. Hey, thanks for this one. I was a maintainer on the C-141 at Travis AFB from 65 to 69. And all you said was true. It's an important job with little glamor but you sure do get to know the aircraft, (and you sure do steal parts). And we were a 24/7 operation, and the unit flew those hours too.

  1005. This was your BEST EPISODE EVER!!! Because it affected my own life, my Mother and I both developed infections after my birth in 1956. We were both in the hospital for several weeks but we both made a full recovery, my Mother passed 3 years ago aged 85, and I am still kicking at 66, numerous infections in childhood and since, later!

It have been used by Alexander in his conquest of the known word of which he combine the speed advantage of his chavalry companions, and staying power of his phalanx pikemen of which grant him too the ability of anvil and hammer strategy. It can also been seen this on the roman using Roman heavy infantry, balearic slingers, gaulic chavalry and such and such.

  1010. "You just can't intimidate a suicidal microchip" What an incredible statement! First, I laughed, but after reflection realized how profound it was.

  1025. Hehe why am I not even surprised that videos leaked. Locals in Saint Petersburg have been talking about this for months already (: 3 years of studying in university and living in russia was such an experience and only after attempt of going through one of the toughest “law” faculty + hanging with kinds of those in power I realized how little people outside this system know anything about what corrupted mafia state russia really is. Fun fact is that article 228 is the most popular “national” reason to go to the jail: basically anyone with any amount or even no drugs at all. There was a case when they tried to put a journalist in prison by telling everyone that he’s producing and dealing drugs when he’s not busy with writing. Police suddenly found drug laboratory in his apartment after he was arrested and placed in the police department. Works out for millions of people but not for this lucky one :) hardly recommend to check statistics on guilty verdicts in the courts: very clearly shows the transparency and independence of the judiciary in russia 🤡

  1028. Hey Ryan just watched your piece on col McGregor. Well done and very thoughtful. I've been adding comments to help spread the truth but the lies just seen to be more interesting I guess.

  1078. I was working in Stormont in North Ireland and the story goes.... the new secretary of state for Northern Ireland paid us ie the civil servants for North Ireland main building a visit - part of that visit was a detailed security briefing and it was explained to him what was the green and orange bits/areas on the map etc at the end of the brief he turns around and asked what was the big blue area mean marked on the map!

  1084. 3:43 okay, the bit about the "anthrax vaccine being afraid of you" gave me a good chuckle 😂
    2
  1085. Nice story. I’m from Belgium. We have three different languages here, and many more religions. We don’t really fight each other. Although there are ‘issues’. After my divorce a Maroccan neighbor who had a restaurant gave me free food and some new shoes. I’ll be forever grateful that he did that. I’m an atheist by the way, but I liked helping his kids get a little knowledge of our culture. Guess that was his way to thank me for that. Racism is stupid. My brother was military, also my grandfather. I’m a pacifist. They both died. Now I’m watching you. Thanks for giving information about stuff I never wanted to know about. I like renewable energy, at the time they called me Paul Windmill.

  1128. @RyanMcBethProgramming With love and respect, I think your analysis is missing the fact that COVID is still a prevalent disease and disproportionately affects immunocompromised people and those with serious health issues, populations which overlaps strongly with poverty. Masking up is still a highly practical public health measure, especially when congregating in large social groups. New York also has some pretty deep traumatic memory of first-wave COVID, since we literally parked 10 freezer trailers behind the Manhattan OCME office. We lost hundreds a day, opened mass graves, and more in that city. Masks also became a measure of respect in New York. When our neighbors were dying and our hospitals were overrun and Times Square was abandoned, masks were a way to not just protect ourselves, but to show each other that we were willing to be mildly inconvenienced in order to literally not unknowingly kill our neighbors. And there were BIG social divides in NYC between people who chose to mask up, and people who chose not to. I'm not discounting the social belonging elements you describe, and the need to belong is indeed powerful. But your analysis perhaps misses a practical level of personal protection, and some context-specific history. Hope this is helpful.

  1129. really enjoyed this video Ryan. keep em coming fella

  1163. 18:00...THAT HIT HARD. You are a good guy - keep doing what you are doing, EVEN when it's hard. FYI, I plan on sharing your channel with my 6th graders this school year to discuss how to determine if a source is reliable.
    2
  1164. The best part of this video is you glitching and saying “I’m not holding my breath “😂 Love your video anyways It grounds us showing how easily we can be manipulated by short form media everyday I still remember how you tell us to not post or repost anything that gets us emotional before thinking through Thanks Ryan

  1167. I have my devices named as following: My phone is just called "Unbezahlter Praktikant" translating to "unpaid intern" My PC is called "Gehilfe" translating to "minion" My wifi network is called "Bärenhöhle" which is "bear cave" and my router is called "Höhleneingang" translating to "cave entrance" And I'm using a VPN provider for my phone to make it harder for sniffers. For passwords I use sentences and only utilise the first letter of each word while my language allows for somewhat irregular capital letters throughout the sentence. That mixed with some words turned into english and then modified to be written in leet it makes nice long random seeming passwords especially with correct interpunctuation. 2FA is a given for any service providing the functionality Conclusion: I guess I'm fairly well prepared as my bank uses it's own 2FA, it's own login methods and it's internal mail and notification system. And my assigned NSA agent might be suicidal for me literally playing the same horrendously stupid songs for days on loop xD

  1174. Impersonating Ryan sounds kinda hard. Actually sir, it's super easy, barely an inconvenience! Oh really? Yeah, the trick is to start the sound of the other Ryan a bit early while the camera is still focused on the other-other Ryan, which creates the illusion of 2 Ryan's existing at the same... Amazing

  1179. 🇨🇦 First time commenting, just wanted to say great video, I appreciate your clear headed view on current events. On a separate note, as this trade war seems inevitable, let me say as a Canadian, we appreciate our American brothers and sisters, this tariff situation will hurt all of us regular people, here's hoping cooler heads prevail.
    2
  1180. Thank you for making this video. I was struggling with some of my family members who know absolutely nothing about geopolitics or the situation in Ukraine. I’ve sent them your video. Thank you man. My wife and Kid are Ukrainian and now live with me here in the US. Thank you again for making these videos debunking all these idiots. And explaining things in such a way that people can understand it.

  1196. In the British army, 0 (zero) is the leader. So, asking for Charlie 4-0 would be the leader of Charlie-4, whatever Charlie-4 may be. "Charlie Charlie 1" is a collective call to all stations, and also the fastest way to become the least popular person on the radio, especially if you end with 'over'. Furthermore, asking to speak to 'Sunrise' is a way of asking to speak to the actual of a callsign. For example, rather than saying "Bravo-1-3-zero actual, this is Bravo-1-2-zero, message over", you would say "Bravo-1-3-zero, this is Bravo-1-2-zero, fetch sunrise, over"; it's roughly equivalent to saying "Hello slave, this is me, get your leader you pathetic little shit". Caveat, I've not served for many years now, and may be remembering a few things poorly, or out dated.

You made a mistake at about 8:00 In regards to manning a checkpoint/ static security, there's always that ONE guy who can talk about Simpsons episodes (or Family Guy) for the whole 8/ 10/ 12 hour shift! Usually I'M that guy, but I can't be everywhere, so I suspect that other, 'leser' Raz's are out there, too!

  1295. We chewed some of the same dirt at Ft. Benning. I joined in 1992 and retired in 2016. You're spot on about the "man who shall not be named." It was all about the Beret and even more so the "China connection." I remember at the time that they tried to describe a Black Beret was the color of the Infantry around the world which is crap. Infantry berets around the world are mostly green, but that was NEVER going to happen. In fact, black berets are the color of Armor forces normally. All in all, the Rangers lost because they were the easiest to take from. It sucks, and yes, a lot of people are still pissed. Hell, I'm pissed, and I'm not a Ranger! Just a proud "LEG" Infantryman, I walked for a living! Well, till they sent me to Bradley Master Gunner school!

Can I ask if you believe a degree is necessary to make it in cybersecurity ? I’ve been looking into degrees but I’ve also been wondering if it’d be better in the long run to get a few certifications and specialize in something ? I had a lot of trouble with school as well, I was in computer science and I did enjoy it but I find that where my passion lies is in security. Any advice would be appreciated

  1333. RVN DMZ Heavy Arty (175 & 8") FDC 13-E Horizontal & Vertical Chart Operator (Combined) I was and am so proud to have been Redleg! We computed every mission by hand (charts & darts). I was the Pin guy. Listen for the target location (and fuze request) and place a pin in the indicated target on the big map/chart. Slap the Range Deflection Protractor on the "We're Here PIn" and read out the indicated range to Target & then the mils deflection off the battery lay-in. Then read out the altitude by determining where the target pin entered the map and the Target Pin's altitude found between map contour lines. By inspection make sure we were looking at a Target where we were allowed to shoot. Finally, read a quick Gun to Target altitude clearance (so we wouldn't hit an intervening terrain feature along the round's flight or the Target was not "shadowed" by intervening terrain.) For Targets in direct fire shadow usually using Point Detonating fuses, we could select a different fuze type to hold the explosion a bit to cross close intervening hills or ridges. The FDC Chief, usually with artillery slide rule in hand would work his magic & in just moments communicate commands to the gun. One of the intricacies where we were that your terrific video could not address was data checking with our remote Battalion FDC for correct computations, and waiting for Clearance to Fire which included confirmation that an Air Warning had been posted at yet a higher headquarters [108th ARTY Group] advising the direction & ballistic arc and max height of our trajectory (our air assets REALLY appreciated knowing what they may be flying under or over!) With all that done, the Gun crew did it's thing. One last, final check from the Gun Chief was to visually check for air traffic crossing the Gun path. (Every once in a while the Gun had to call Check Fire in order not to give some Huey driver a bad day. We were on a busy ARVN/US Firebase and it wasn't unusual to have helicopter traffic over and in front of us.) Anyhow, RYAN! What a great video! I got both chills AND misty tears from it 52 years after the fact!

  1342. My Aunt, after the War, at 9 years of age, was the youngest triallist of Penicillin, for the public's use in the UK. She had been kicked in the shin by a boy at school (in the playground) and the infection got deep into the bone. She was taken to what is now Northolt aerodrome, it might've been called something different during wartime ops, along with about 30 others, ranging widely from her, through to a 70 year old man. she was (by her own admission) bored stiff as literally she had to be bedridden, in a draughty Billeting dorm, with just two pot belly stoves to heat the 'ward' and a desked nurse at one end... and told everyone had to be silent whilst her fluids (blood, Urine etc) were tested during the day and I believe dosages were administered twice daily... iirc the trial was 3 weeks, possibly 4... the wound healed and she returned to school, still has the scar today. But yeah, If you've needed Antibiotics as a Kid, you can probably thank my aunt.

  1358. Great factoids about the origin of Technicals and Dragoons. A fun read is "The Black Count" by Tom Reiss. It is a biography of Alex Dumas who, among many other things, enlisted in the Queen's Dragoons in 1786. His father was a French Marquis and his mother an African slave.

  1364. Quality control in the Aussie army is that any rigger can be ordered to jump with any chute they packed. As an MP SIB we investigated a Staff Sgt who hadn't taken leave in the 3 years he was posted to the unit. The QM got suspicious and one weekend with no jumps scheduled we went in and checked all the chutes, finding a few in the out of date row that were packed with blankets! The SSgt was called in on Monday and invited to jump with one of the chutes he recognised immediately as a dud and he feinted on the spot. When he came to he was being interrogated by 2 of our best. He admitted he had been selling the chutes in town and hadn't taken leave for fear a dud might get jumped with. He was fined, did 7 days prison, discharged and lost his pension; pretty light but only because he was otherwise a long serving soldier. Ruined his career but too easy for someone to die. We had T10s back then and a year earlier while he was at the unit I had done a water jump with one of his chutes!

  1366. Dear Ryan, in defense of you're being a "mediocre" sergeant, l spent 28 years in the California Dept of Corrections. I suffered through riots, stabbings, abysmal leadership, changing and idiotic mandates, injuries to my friends through stupid management decisions and due to the tenacious evil of the convicts we managed as they were incarcerated. I found that there were two management or supervisory styles. There is the "cowboy" method. And there is the "shepherd" method. Cowboys drive the cattle though whips, yells, and bumping their horses into the sides of the herd. Grief, anger, and irritation is the method to get the head to go the right direction. The mission is accomplished. Yet, the anger is sullen, and resentment indemic. Then there is the shepherd. The military mission is to take care of your people, and to accomplish the mission. Jesus was a shepherd. He carried a big crook, and He beats off the wolves, and thieves, and He protects His sheep. And He knew His sheep's names, and He leads them to water and feed. And because He protects them....sacrificially, they follow Him because they know His voice. There are no "leadership" whips, yells, or pushing. I applied this in my career, at much expense to my own advancement, while never conceding to the inmates desire to cause chaos or the administration desire to try some new stupid theory of inmate management, as is going on now. I had to make tough decisions concerning staff illegal actions, some of which resulted in arrest and incarceration. But the good troops, the officers backed me. I was likable, yet, the troops followed me. You could say l had a "mediocre" career. But my good staff, and indeed the inmates too, were as safer because of it. I made many handshake deals to accomplish what needed to get done, because OP's and procedures made it impossible to get the work done. So Ryan...bask in your mediocrity. You brought all your troops home. And that asshole sergeant who didn't like you, can shove his leadership where the sun don't shine. You were the backbone of our military, and God bless you for it.

  1375. Bradley maintains pos, 5 dismounts get into the forest/foliage, if T72 hasnt moved or acted infantry acquires direct LOS, keeps weapons at the ready untill the Bardley joins them if the T72 engeages one the other engeages back. After infantry do some investigation and cant find any enemey (including the Crew of the T72 to other possible T72s on their route to the battalion) If nothing has been found, engeage the T72 with the chain gun from the behind, pack up and get chow to the rest of the team. If other tracks and signs of other enemey tanks have been found set up ambush positions, keep the infantry roughly in the same spot or put them a little further to engeage them from behind if possible place the Bradley back into the initial position to engeage T72s with whatever theyve got. If enemey crew is found and it seems like they are willing to surrender, assign two dismounts to escort them back to the battalion while Bradley maintains overwatch at the initial spot, when prisoners are delivered Bradley picks up the dismounts and goes to deliver chow. If they dont surrender, engeage them with the Bradley, dont risk getting your dismounts hit. A crew of a T72 dont tend to carry AT capabilities aside from their tank. This pretty much what i would do in an RTS

  1398. This is another reason you have more retiring viewers than subscribers right now. I subed to get new information you are posting yet I am also seeing video that personally I am not interested in, which dose not mean for the target audience it is not good, heck they may think it's the absolute best. Just less likely to subscribe with Ukraine info than to get return views that search Ukraine/Russia currently than subscribers because of this I have seen like 7 of your normal older videos and ya I am not the audience so I moved past. Cementing this on an older video so you know what I mean

  1422. I got a taste of the Marines at Boy's State. Our platoon came back from breakfast to find the Marine drill instructors had not only overturned our racks and foot lockers but had tied our sheets to the ceiling pipes!

  1460. 2 weeks to change a label? Really? Let’s see.. 10 minutes to locate the responsible code. 30 seconds to modify it. 10 minutes to compile and test. 15 minutes to fix the fix. QA sees it the next day and puts in in their queue. A test plan is drafted the same day. QA managers approve the test plan the next day, and testing begins promptly. QA finds issue with the update not fixing the same typo in the logging and it’s sent back to programming. Programming fixes it the next day and sends it back to QA. QA passes it and…the following day (day 5 if you’re keeping track) A QA reviewer approves the testing and results. But we’re not really on day five here. More like day ten - support had to talk to the user, troubleshoot the issue, and then convince a manager that ‘yes, it’s really critical that we spell ‘color’ with a U’, getting the ‘bug’ approved for an immediate fix - all of which takes back and forth - so by now we’re business day 10 (friday of week 2 after the initial complaint). It’s only noon, but updates ship out starting in 4 hours, and that update for release was cut on Tuesday. You’re not going to cut a new update and ship it the same day - that’s how you create a multi-site outage that lasts all weekend… No, you sit on it. Monday rolls around - you do nothing - it’s not time to cut a new build. Tuesday rolls around. You cut new builds on Tuesdays, so you… do nothing. You cut releases every other Tuesday, so this fix sits for another five business days. Finally, business day 17 rolls around after the initial complaint, and you compile all the fixes for the past two weeks into a new build, and hand that build to QA for testing. Just 3 more days and you can ship it - congrats. Except the automated tests for the release build start failing - the button the automation looks for can’t be found, some idijit went and changed it’s name, of all things, so now QA has to update only 42 automated tests and approve all the changes before this fix can actually ship, assuming that those fixes don’t go and break anything else. Don’t worry - we’ll have the fix to you by third quarter. You want a year with that commitment? Dunno. This year, next year… it’ll ship by third quarter, just don’t ask us to do anything silly like commit to a delivery year.

  1463. effing bicycles! I had a similar experience -- 4 years in EOD, never got a scratch. some years later I am riding a bike down a city street and rear ended a Land Cruiser. Put my helmet thru the window, bike crossbar caught my left thigh and went clear to the bone. I remember thinking that If I don't jump right back up I'll not get up at all. So I was able to bounce back up, called my wife to take me home. I had 3 broken ribs and a spectacular hematoma throughout my entire left leg. blood pooled around the ankle forming this purple donut. To cheap to go to the ER, unwilling to fight the insurance , made an appointment with our GP a few days later. There wasn't much to treat , the blood was receding , and they don't do much for broken ribs anyway . 6 weeks of pain anytime I had to get u p, but none the worse. My survival motivation was poverty .

  1503. Ryan I love you and your channel, your a guy of many talents and a encyclopaedia of military knowledge , i also love all of your shorts, i tend to accumulate very wide and shallow depth of knowledge spread across many unconnected subjects , i was looking at your room and noticed you have two flags one British and one Swedish is there any particular reasons for this as i am English myself with Irish and French blood, and i am deeply ashamed of what my country did to the Irish over hundreds of years and i personally love the Irish including my late wife who was an Irish lady, who i will miss for forever and forever. I enjoy learning about military matters but i hate real war and would be psychologically unfit to be a soldier, as my nerves would break irreparably. Take care Ryan i,m enjoying watching your interesting channel and thank you Ryan,

  1535. youtube is first and foremost a visual platform, bending to the will of people that want to listen and not watch will not do your channel well, the VAST VAST majority of people use youtube to watch content, the margin of people you are trying to appease with "podcast" format is so little its really not worth fixing something that isn't broken, or better put in your often used phrase, the juice isn't worth the squeeze in this case to create more boring visual content abandoning most people that watch for your opinions and graphics to serve people that want to listen to it in their car for realistically far more limited amounts of time

I’m so used to the average intelligence level of even serious YouTube content providers as ignorant morons, or outright liars and you are such an exception - like a chess grand master. I think that in your niche you are the BEST on YouTube and no one comes close and I’ve been on YouTube since the beginning. Thanks for your hard work and amazing, illuminating content.

  1609. Good presentation. My mom was a student nurse in Boston during WWII. Because so many fully trained nurses had joined the Army and Navy medical corps, nurses were in short supply in the big Boston hospitals, so she did many things student nurses usually don’t do. One was taking care of sailors whose ships had been torpedoed by German subs. Many were badly burned by burning fuel oil. Serious fractures were also common because 1,000 pounds of high explosive going off beneath a ship throws the crew into bulkheads or even the ceiling of a companionway. Men who were burned over more than about 20 percent of the body usually died of infection until penicillin became available, which began to happen during the war. Mom also helped take care of some of the injured from this terrible nightclub fire: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoanut_Grove_fire Not all of the sailors mom helped were Americans or Brits. A few were German U-boat crewmen who were rescued after their boats were sunk. They were actually lucky, considering the horrendous casualty rate the German subs sustained later in the war.

  1620. Pull up a sandbag, Ryan...In the Australian Army we used SUNRAY for the boss and SUNRAY MINOR for the 2IC of whatever unit or sub-unit. The sub-unit has a callsign so for Btn HQ (c/s is 'FOX2) to call Bravo company to speak to the O.C. you call the unit as .."Two Bravo this is FOX2 fetch sunray over'. No need to say 'FOX2BRAVO as it is a closed net and as you said, you want to keep it short. The platoons would be designated 4,5,6 (A Coy has 1,2,3, C Coy 7.8.9 etc) so if Company HQ wanted to speak to the platoon leader of 6 Pl it would be 'Bravo 6 this is Two Bravo, fetch sunray, over". If the 6 Pl OC wanted to speak to the corporal in charge of A section it would be ' Bravo 6 Alpha, this is Bravo 6, fetch sunray, over." Radio nets would generally be the company net, the battalion net and the brigade net so a platoon could talk between sections and to company HQ on one net and company could talk to battalion on another and battalion to brigade on a third but a section or even a platoon couldn't jump the hierarchy without switching freqs... and copping it from the Battalion Sigs officer. Most likely the Pl OC wouldn't know the frequency for Battalion or Brigade for operational security reasons, just the other companies and possibly arty support and air support, usually co-ordinated at battalion level. We say 'WAIT' (pause to check details or long message)and 'WAIT OUT' if it's going to take a while but we haven't finished our conversation. We never say 'REPEAT' unless calling in artillery; always 'SAY AGAIN'. Now this was in the 70s and 80s with Vietnam war era PRC77 sets as our main radio. I have no idea how it is today with diggers having individual radios and go-pros and silk undies. Corps have callsigns; engineers HOLDFAST, MPs BULLDOG, Infantry FOXHOUND and so on. They add another level of complexity to the story... Thank you so much for the 'over and out' comment. Drives me up the wall. Fatman Faffing OUT.

  1630. i REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP. WHY? I WAS SAVED BY PENICILLIN! IN 1956. AT AGE 7, I CAME DOWN WITH A SEVERE CASE OF ACUTE NEPHRITIS. I WAS URINATING ALMOST STRAIGHT BLOOD AND HAD A HIGH FEVER. IT WAS CAUSED BY A STREP INFECTION THAT WAS NOT TREATED LONG ENOUGH WITH PENICILLIN. MY MOTHER CALLED THE DOCTOR AND TOLD HIM I APPEARED TO BE FINE. HE TOLD HER I COULD STOP THE MEDICATION. IT CAME BACK WITH A VENGEANCE. AT THAT POINT, I WAS ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THEY GAVE ME INJECTIONS OF MASSIVE DOSES OF PENICILLIN. IF IT HAD GONE ANOTHER DAY OR TWO, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DIED. INSTEAD, WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS I WAS FEELING FINE. I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL ABOUT A WEEK, BUT THIS REPLY IS LIVING PROOF THAT PENICILLIN SAVED ME. I AM NOW 73 AND HAVE HAD A LONG AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE.

  1631. FML…I feel old, but only a seasoned human can watch this and intensely appreciate it. Dealing with my broken leg. (Out of work carpenter) I take my lunch and watch some tube. I was thinking about watching some history show bla bla, but then this pops up on my feeds. This video about aircraft “maintainers” is done, my cereal is done and my free time is over and I am oddly more satisfied than I would’ve been if I’d watched something about Star Wars or something about the British civil war. The nuances of work done in the military is fascinating.

  1632. Carlson's "You should see the markets in Carthage" was comedy gold. xD Thank you for sprinkling in some humor into this serious discussion. Love your content, Ryan. I'm 35, almost done with my BA in Intelligence Studies, with superior academic achievement (3.85 GPA) and I'm terrified of the future. I'm sincerely worried that I've just wasted thousands of dollars and years of time earning a degree I can't use, because all of my analyses will fall on deaf ears. Russia is still our greatest adversary, but the administration is consolidating power and punishing anyone who has dissenting views (particularly those who speak out against Putin).

  1671. First, I used to do what Johnny Harris does, which is to make issue related television documentaries, and I did long format shows (his award winning NYT documentary is 14 minutes long). So I am familiar with the process, but also the comparative limitations a guy like Johnny Harris has to operate in, because my days are long gone. Very few people are spending that kind of money on documentaries, and if they are, the shows are probably about true crime or celebrities. Jonny Harris lives in the new internet/YouTube universe (as do you). There is comparatively little time to really find out about things you are ignorant about and corners have to be cut. Google has to suffice for a lot of research. And there are comparatively fewer people checking up on your facts (unless the video attracts the attention of Ryan McBeth) because there are about a billion people making Youtube videos every day. This is not to say that Jonny Harris is a bad guy, or a deliberate liar, or any of that. He is just dancing too fast for his shoes in an internet environment which allows little time and a lot of pressure. According to his Wikipedia page, his father-in-law is the captain of a ballistic missile submarine (SSBN), so you can't say he has no personal knowledge about the military, although maybe his father in law doesn't talk about work at home, what with national security and all. I also think in this piece we are seeing very typical liberal biases about military spending which many people have (and I think he made this video to appeal to people with those biases). I used to have a lot of the same biases myself. He is also using a lot of easy-to-understand graphics and animation to make his points and (at least in your clips) no actual interviews with people who might really present a deep understanding of the information. And that is because, doing that would require taking a crew to Yale or someplace where weapons are manufactured and doing interviews with people saying actual facts they know from their own actual professional experiences, or even using Zoom to do that. He is also projecting a lot of his personality into his on-camera pieces, as a television anchor does, creating a brand, as you suggest. But personality is not the same as facts. So the bottom line to me is that you just are not going to find much serious in-depth information on Youtube. What you are going to find is going to be pretty thin or pretty simple, how to fix a lawn mower or the correct way to string a guitar. Ryan McBeth is unusual in that regard but Ryan limits his work to things he can actually comment on from a perspective of personal knowledge and experience—or he takes the time to track down the information to satisfy his own standards. Thanks for this, Ryan, I found it fascinating.

  1696. Ok, paused for this comment. Ryan, the coincidence is amazing. This isn't relevant to the meat of the video, but I lived in the house where working girl was shot in the Village in Manhattan. I "managed" that property for movies, commercial etc. but that was about a year after they made that film. Anyway, is amusing you brought up that movie. (Sigourney weavers place) Yes, i was paid to live in that house for essentially doing nothing. Casting directors would come by and told me I was the luckiest person in Manhattan and I was. Ok .... Back to the video 😂

  1710. You know even though this is a bit click bait I am so grateful for this video. I am an old fart with nothing to complain about in life. No military experience, no life threatening experiences, no traumatic incidences. Lots of real world working experiences, physical and outdoors but nothing remarkable. I should have nothing but gratitude for how blessed my life has been. But I refuse to retire and still have businesses and projects to run and some days I will be away from home at the motel and I will wake up and say to myself I don't want to get out of bed and deal with this today, I don't want to get in the drudgery I have been in in the last few days. Your story just crystallized the thought process I need to forge ahead when I don't seem to have the mindset for it. Even though my problems wouldn't make a pimple on most people's ass, thank you for the means to deal with self pity and the lack of motivation. Never give up the will to get up every day and meet the challenges of your situation. Thank you big man.

  1715. So, my father was a loader in a T-55 around 1975-ish, my uncle a repairman for tanks and vehicles just before East Germany seized to exist. My uncle told me that they never ran out of things to repair: priority were the tanks, then BMPs of which he was also a commander (yea, talking about stretching it thin), and if all of them were running, the 50 or so broken down trucks. Judging from that the Russians seized civilian vehicles, I’d bet they still run it this way, and it is not sustainable in any shape or form if you need to fight. The East German army would have been stopped by failed equipment fairly quickly if there would have been a conflict with NATO. I mean, they didn’t have the manpower to be ready while half in depot AND they put their “tails” in a double role as infantry taxis.

  1724. In a war a little over 30 years ago, I was assigned to an M1A1 mine plow tank. 2 months before that, I had never seen one (mine plow). Now, I was in charge of one. We advanced because some scout's had marked a mine field in front of a wire obstacle and trench with enemy in it, the night before. We stopped behind a small mound to point in the right direction (once the plow is deployed, it is extremely hard to turn). Dropped the plow, buttoned up, drove up on the plow and then started advancing on the mine field. Started taking small arms fire but did not identify any hard targets that were not already destroyed by the Air Farce. I heard a loud thump or 3 as we rolled mines out of our way but nothing more then sound. We hit the wire and as we were in direct contact with the enemy, we just kept going forward until we could find a safe place to lift the plow (driver has to expose himself to latch it down). I guess Iraqi doctrine dictated they stay in their trenches as a tank drives over them, so they can engage it from the rear. Well, that plow went through 1st and basically, scooped up everything in the trench and stuffed it into the other side of the trench wall. Ever heard rabbits scream? Heard that above all the other sounds. As we straddled the trench, we slewed the turret sideways, lowered the main gun and aimed at the first zig or zag of the trench, which was pretty far away. We then fired the main gun. Trench instantly cleared. A lot of people surrendered within the next 5 or so seconds. My gunner was suppose to fire coax but had it switched to main gun and we had a HEAT round in the chamber. The worst part after all that was digging all the wire wrapped up in the track and sprocket that had bits of other 'stuff' mixed in. Gooey stuff.

  1735. That's a good summary. I knew most of it (was interested in combat engineering) but I did learn a few things and your presentation was informative and engaging. The 'fake minefield' ruse made me chuckle. I recall a wargame which was simulating an assault on an Iraqi town backed onto water. It was stretched along the water for a fair distance (maybe a few kms). There was a road running through town parallel to the water. The attackers a company of mechanized infantry with tank support and some allied support (artillery and gunships too). The defenders had artillery, some A2A launchers, a bunch of infantry units, and some APCs. The defenders had a hideous amount of perimeter and had only a few small segments of mines (AT/AP mix). The defender's commander could not get more mines, but he had no shortage of double strings of barbed wire which he laid lengthwise just at the edge of town and he had the troops lump up some areas like mines might be hidden their and he had wires and posts and he had them string triangular 'mine' tags all the way along the long frontage. The few mines they actually had were across the street at both ends (figured an end round was going to be the play of the US forces). It worked. The US commander had his recce report indications of mines all along the front of the town and they did choose to do an end run.... and they hit the actual mines. And they came under fires from portable AT launchers and they chose to debark the entire reinforced company outside of town on the one end. If they'd driven straight at the city's long frontage, they could have passed through the barbed wire and the non-existent mines would have stopped nobody. Lead their mind and their bodies (and plans) will follow.

  1742. I enjoyed your entire video. There were a few things I noticed that took me out of the movie and reminded me it was a movie. The Boog boys all turning on lights to go one flight of stairs while trying to "surprise" the bad guys inside, yeah, be quiet because as you noted in the explosion, light travels faster than sound. Also, the fat National Guard female led team defeats the elite Secret Service defenders in every fire-fight while never losing a person except the sh*tbag reporter they allowed in the middle of their stack? Yeah, OOOOkayyyy! I enjoyed the movie, but understood why most folks did not. Your channel is awesome men. I was intel a long time, you are fun to watch and you make me miss the Army (just a LITTLE bit, okay). There was always a guy like you in every unit. The REALLY intelligent smart ass that was a drunken disaster in garrison but saved lives in the field because he 'got it.' I would love to grab a whiskey and exchange stories about inept command and the contradiction in terms military intelligence really is.

I’ve only worn a parachute as a precaution and thankfully never needed it, but glad to know there are people who know how to rig this all up safely. I did note that in the shaking out of the chutes nobody was wearing eye protection! Do you want a squirrel in your eye? Cause that is how you get a squirrel in your eye! And as a former VA doc, not sure we want to take care of your squirrel eye for the next 50 years, because you aren’t wearing PPE…

  1815. I'm retired US Navy, and I know I nearly always start a post saying that but I want you to know where I'm coming from. In the Navy I worked on aircraft avionics, and that includes displays. Yes, I know aircraft are NOT tanks and tanks are NOT aircraft however.... military grade displays are something I know a LOT about. What worries me far, far, FAR more is spalling. Spalling is something that is hard to avoid, but imagine a chunk of metal smacking into a display.... its an instant shotgun. Imagine 6 or 7 displays being hit... no one survives. OH and clean up after a display has popped? CRT big chunks of glass is everywhere, LCD its shards of plastic and goo, and, AND, you can't get all of it.... so...yeah.

  1836. EXCELLENT!!! I loved it! I'm ex Army aviation, Sikorski "Skycrane" helicopter's. Did my thing at Ft. Sill, OK. 74-76. Our unit used to do 6 gun lifts of the 105's. If I recall correctly it weighed just over 19,000 lbs, complete with the rigging equipment. I was young and bored and I would go on the training missions, when I got the chance, and would help with the rigging of the lift. The centerpiece was a heavy, thick, roundish plate of steel with 6 equally spaced holes on the outer circumference that would accept the towing end of the 105's. From there they would be pinned to the plate and other rigging would be attached to keep the guns separated during the airlift. Finally the lifting straps would be connected and brought up to a center point and connected into a single point that would be inserted into the Cargo Hook of the Helicopter. We would fold up the lengths of the straps and then use masking tape to keep them folded to prevent any tangling as the helicopter began to bring them tight as it was hooked up and bringing the rigging tight, just before it was going to lift the load into the air. The masking tape would simply tear apart as the straps became tight. It was great! Especially when you were only 17 year's old!!! I didn't want to edit this but I wanted to mention that Ft. Sill was the Army's Artillery base and training school and range. So our unit supported the Artillery unit's. I also remember going on pilot training missions and riding along with the crew in the cockpit, the Skycrane has room for a jumpseater in it's cockpit. We would pick up an armored personnel carrier, which I think weighed in at around 22,000 lbs. The helicopter was the "B" Model, and was redlined at 25,000 lbs on the hook. Then we'd fly around with it underneath for a while until this one point in the training of the pilot's was reached. They would take it up to altitude, I forget how high exactly but it was over like a thousand feet. They would get the helicopter to hover in that spot with the load AND THEN, wham!!! The pilot would open the hook electrically! All of a sudden the helicopter was 22,000 lbs lighter than it was just a second ago!!! I loved it!

There is an amazing story of an Australian and Turkish (Ottoman) sniper duel that went on for months on the beaches and hills above Gallipoli in WW1.

  1855. Electronic Equipment tech from Israeli AF here. Our maintainers, especially crew chiefs, really work like crazy. I had a friend, she was an F15 mechanic. Since she was like 1.55 meter high, she was number one priority to be pushed inside the engine inlets. She could get to places other mechanics could barely insert their hands. And it was 80's F-15, no diagnostic ports there. Everything had to be touched and felt I was working on CH-53 equipment. The maintainers would pour tons of F-words on me if I had to replace one of the lower antennas cable. More than 100 bolts to remove, half of them stuck, with unknown amount of dirt mixed with oil to clean afterwards, beside their usual endless work trying to keep 1970's helicopter in flying condition

  1877. 43e2p was my mos as a rigger in 1970. We packed 30 t-10 chutes a day. I started at around 8AM and finished around 2PM. I took my job very seriously, 30 guys a day had their lives in my hands. Very hard for a 20 year old!!! I enjoyed this video. Every time I run into a paratrooper and tell them I was a red hat rigger, they always praise what we did. Now people can believe me when I tell them that sometimes I jumped 3 times a day!!! Kept me on my toes!!

  1891. SFC McBeth, if you get some time, take a look at a cool line of watches you may enjoy. Casio ProTrek watches are ABC types and work GREAT. I collect them whenever I stumble across one for sale at a pawn shop or similar resale store/event. The PRG-600 is one you’ll really like, it’s Solar charged and the battery will last about a decade of regular use. It has an OD green tactical strap and a gun metal finish on its bezel ring. I just don’t lean to the newer smart watches, I prefer stand alone tech for my timepiece, I’m just that way. Enjoy the weekend ! SFC DeVos. Retired 11H/11B 1983-2009.

  1901. 1. Air Assault school was really a tough one. Right up there with some of the big boy programs. 2. What you explained was a masterclass in how to do a AA mission.

  1906. We didnt sign anything in 1997 so I'm trained to use AP mines only the plastic tipped ones was forbidden, we did sign it in 2011 even if I don't understand why because we dont have those systems that spread em like fertilizer everywhere and all my training included mapped use of em. Edit: Seems our military didn't want to let go of em either for the same explanation I had. Sadly we had KOK in power and they are a wannabe USA ultra capitalist party, I think they were the ones reducing our army bases too if I remember right. Almost starting to think that they want Russia to invade by removing toys from us.

  1910. Lol Ultra. I got fascinated with all the words they try to use to trick me into drinking beer with low carbs. Bud light now has the NEXT. Select 55 Light . Shiner Beer Rudy some shit. Ultra Pure Gold. I don't even care that they taste like shit still nice to have a beer when I get home and thank God it doesn't add to my hips anymore. I heard next wasn't to bad though. Enjoying the stories I'm still catching up on your other ones though. I will be back

  1911. I had 14 radio operators and they all came back alive from Nam. While under my authority, I was not well liked: had them constantly on a rotation of guard duty, they were never an RO for any entity on a consecutive basis, I made them take six canteens water not two on patrol and changed their canteens to non-metallic, they carried four bandoleers ammo for getting ammo to whoever needed on the spot, and made them do PT every morning before morning chow and company formation, I did surprise inspections on all their gear and gave one Marine a month 10 days R&R on Guam. We got back to the world, Camp Pendleton, and all got reassigned. I was hard on them and when they saw the light, they lined up to see me pass to a bus to my new unit. I about cried .. they were at attention and saluting finely. They came to ready-to, then relaxed and filed by me giving words of thanks and admiration. Each Marine gave me the warmest, most gracious, keenly friendly hand shake I ever known. Leadership makes Marines, saves lives, and makes your subordinates very well aware of their personal growth in discipline, professional knowledge and ability, and trains them to be Leaders ... Semper Fi GO NAVY

  1918. I'm from Serbia so I would like to chip in. News article is from Happy TV which is one of the strongest propaganda outlets in my country (all national frequency TV in this country is government propaganda) but happy is extreme by the dumbness of the content (lots of reality shows for example) and how right wing they are. Nobody with an IQ higher than room temperature takes Happy seriously, even people who generally believe other right wing/state propaganda outlets

  1932. I'm glad you said those final comments about the UK prevailing. It's true. We do stare evil right in the face, and we owe our stout resolve all down to a nice cuppa tea. The only way to take out the Brits.... Stop the supply of tea. Britain is much like a Jack Russel Terrier. Yes, it may be small, but it's pretty fuckin viscous.

  1933. I'm a 13J, so I'm familiar with the information presented in this video, and I was still riveted! Lol, I loved hearing you calmly explain the entire process. In practice, all of this is just muscle memory for me, but I'm still new. The information was all very accurate! 👍

  1980. What I like best about this is the "Crap" when Ryan realizes he has to take on the tank. I think a lot of (young?) bucks who haven't served are sure the military is about "the joy of combat" or some shit. The truth is more like what you've shown here: We know every attack is a risk. Every action has consequences, and often they are horrible. We don't hesitate to kill when there is no choice, or when that is the mission, but it's never done with glee... Satisfaction... yeah. But it's never "Oh good! I get to put my men and all our lives and the lives of others on the line again." It's not a fn video game.

  1991. Great video!!! This has been one of my favorites so far. That captain and the way he describes diversity as a tool in our arsenal sounds like a truly excellent leader. It’s incredibly reassuring to know we have the unshakeable steady hand of men and women like him at the helm of god forbid we end up in a war. I’d bet all my money on United States sailors. Go Navy!
    1
  1992. I'm here because you've been asking viewers of your shorts to subscribe. I'm subscribed now. I'm also going through your back-catalogue for interesting videos. Glad I found this treasure. As a senior front-end dev (previously full stack php/mysql/linux), I agree SQL is the best thing to learn. It molds one's way of thinking which help a lot in any programming setting: Primary keys, entity/objects, CRUD. I haven't written any SQL in years, but I still use all the concepts I listed above.

  2000. I think one really important part of understanding why there are right-wing ultranationalists (I.e. nazis) in Ukraine is realizing that every functioning democracy has nazis. When people are given a choice of beliefs and can express themselves without fear of reprisal, some of those people will head to the right-wing fringe. If you have an airport you have germs. If you have a grain silo you have rats. If you have free speech you have nazis. It’s not an existential threat because usually the nazis get outvoted. Given the choice, I think a liberal democracy that tolerates nazis is preferable to a dictatorship that doesn’t.

  2018. I was sort of half listening while cooking, but my ears pricked up when you said New York National Guard. Now I haven't had any interactions with NYNG, but I have with NYANG (New York Air National Guard), specifically with their group (wing?) of LC-130s. I was involved with a science project that took me to the South Pole three times. The NYANG's LC-130 Hercs ran the cargo flights between Mc Murdo on the coast to South Pole. Once we reached cruising altitude they would let us wander the cargo area and lie down on any available flat surface. Except walkways or on top of pallets of freshies. Well... I don't know if the airmen would mind if we slept on top of the freshies, but they did warn us that the rest of our compatriates at pole would be very annoyed if we crushed the freshies. 😅

  2054. Thank you for this video. It’s the most well informed video of what the 101st does on a daily basis. My time there as a 13B (Cannon crewmember) between 2012-2015 was exactly as you described. You get to the unit and it’s demanded that you pass Air assault school asap. The night operations are constant, which means constant training with little to no sleep. 2/320 Balls of the Eagle, Air Assault!

  2065. I had a “I’m gonna meet Saint Peter if I don’t do something” moment while working in construction as a young apprentice Boilermaker. I stupidly used my foot to kick a sling of scaffolding boards that were hung up on the remaining scaffolding while we were disassembling that level. My boot got caught in the load and drug me off the scaffolding and I was hanging 50 feet above the ground with one boot stuck in boards and my arm wrapped around the handling of the walkway. Nothing but air between me and the ground. I twisted my arm to maintain my hold on the wire rope and was slowly being lifted by the crane upside down off the scaffolding. A crewman saw my predicament and stopped the lift, ran to me and grabbed my wrist. He held onto me as the signalman slowly lowered me, pulling me back onto the scaffolding. Luckily for me, that guy was a huge , tough, badass black boilermaker named Rufus Jackson. He drug all 220 pounds of me back onto the scaffolding and saved my life. (Actually I was probably a couple of pounds lighter from pissing my pants.) Rufus saved my life. And I gave myself the extra few seconds by twisting my arm into the wire cable handline. After the excitement, my General Foreman offered to let me leave work and go home for the rest of the day. I turned down his offer and said, “If I leave now, I won’t ever come back to work.” I stayed on the job . And spent the next decade traveling across North America, building power plants, refineries and processing facilities. And I never kicked another load with my boot. One mistake was enough for me.

  2077. 101st Abn (Air Assault) & FT Campbell KY Soldier of the Year 1978 here. Excellent presentation, Ryan, as is ALL of your work! SO very much has changed, has grown and matured in Air Assault in the 45 years since I moved on, but COURAGE, I see, remains at the core of all things. To you I call out, "Currahee!" and Ryan, you would answer "Air Assault!" And the same to all the Vets, new and old, this former Soldier of the 101st Abn, calls out a 1/506th CURRAHEE! Greeting!

  2078. Funny.., peculiar funny, not ha-ha funny. I'm old, disabled, and retired. I suffer from a lot of chronic pain problems... I've come to these same realizations through a different path... Especially, the "more years behind me than in front of me. I'll die, and eventually no one will remember me.. and I'm Ok with that." Your 3 rules are as relevant in my situation as they've been in yours. Soooo.., Thanks? And thanks for your work in making "The Fog..." a lot clearer.

I've seen a ton of other aircraft carrier videos which I loved as well but your's is on a whole different level. Very concise but touching on very important bits and pieces. Great insights, clean and clear explanations all mixed in with very fun but relevant anecdotes. And most refreshing of all, it is quite plain for all to see, your genuine deep respect and admiration for the navy, it's traditions and all that it stands for even though being from a different military service branch yourself. Thank you so much for all that you do and keep up the good work.

  2116. I'm somewhat of a tank enthusiast so while I did know the differences this taught me a really easy way to explain it myself should someone ask or make a similar comment, I particularly love the cars comparison

  2117. Around 1990, my motor pool (D/23Eng Bn) was the first to mount a MICLIC on an armored vehicle. We used M60 tank chassis which usually carried bridges (AVLBs). These “AVLMs” were the predecessor of the assault breacher vehicle. Given credit we’re it’s due: It was the Battalion Commander, LTC Wonsick’s idea.
