Hearted Youtube comments on Ryan McBeth (@RyanMcBethProgramming) channel.

  1. As a seasoned 14e I'd say this is definitely one of the better videos describing the Patriot system as a whole. Very well done.

  2. Almost 28 minutes of pure joy. Lets learn something today
    256
  3. "The H in Army stands for happiness"

  4. I believe that theory of the "Meat Wave" came from "Meatgrinder: Russian Tactics in the Second Year of Its Invasion of Ukraine" from RUSI: https://www.rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/special-resources/meatgrinder-russian-tactics-second-year-its-invasion-ukraine Also note that absence of evidence doesn't mean evidence of absence, so it may be possible that Russia is conducting these types of raids, but they have reduced the number of troops involved due to an inability to stage large scale attacks, For uncensored video, check out my substack at: https://ryanmcbeth.substack.com Like my shirts?

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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!

  9. 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

  10. Spent 8 years in the 82nd 1st/504th as an 11B. Love to see my guys helping other Americans

  11. Pumped to check this one out, thanks for talking about this Ryan!
    231
  12. 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.

  13. Ryan, this was a tier above your normally excellent quality. Bravo.
    230
  14. 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
  15. "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
  16. 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
  17. 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.
    216
  18. Doing important work. We need 100 of you.

  19. 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.

  20. Another example of the type of officer I wish to be when I commission.

  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. 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
  25. 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
  26. 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
    198
  27. Don't you worry about Thag. He gets the Thagomizer named after him.
    196
  28. Replacing a tank with mechs is basically saying: We're gunna replace this effective vehicle that is hard to protect on a modern battlefield with a significantly more complicated and vastly harder to protect vehicle
    190
  29. 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
  30. 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).

  32. 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.

  33. 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
  34. "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! :)

  35. 8:00 The Koran, The Book of Mormon and The C Programming Language standing next to each other... You know your priorities, Ryan!

  36. Ive never heard a more accurate day to day description of a software architect

  37. 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.

  38. 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
  39. 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
  40. 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.

  41. Ryan, I'm digging the Dr. Strangelove bit.
    166
  42. 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
  43. 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
  44. 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
  45. 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
  46. Solid presentation! Thanks Ryan!
    160
  47. I'm learning a lot about how important logistics are for the armed forces of any nation; the backbone of modern warfare.

  48. 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

  49. Enjoy a few cans of cheap American beer from an Irish viewer!!! And nice work getting the Chieftain into this video

  50. 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.
