Youtube hearted comments of J ay (@Jay-ho9io).

  1. 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.

  6. ​ @Acidese those are in fact military grade small arms. The fact that that term offends your delicate sensibilities is irrelevant.

  8. FIRST THING Thank you so much for this body of work, the effort and professionalism involved, and the obvious love you have to bring underappreciated history like this to light. Can't say that enough. Copper was harvested from a variety of locations throughout the Mississippian sphere of influence (and farther, obviously, but my area of study is Mississippian.) A significant amount of the copper that was sourced by the Etowans was from Duck Town. Copper Working Technologies, Contexts of Use, and Social Complexity in the Eastern Woodlands of Native North America Kathleen L. Ehrhardt Journal of World Prehistory volume 22, Article number: 213 (2009) And sadly dated (It's a 2017 reposting of a 1958 article) but On the Source of Copper at the Etowah Site, Georgia Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017 Vernon J. Hurst and Lewis H. Larson Jr. You've got a subscriber and you're going to get a patron out of this. I'm going to spread the word of this channel. Both at the museum and throughout the Peach State archaeological society. EDIT: also I appreciate all the effort you put into disparaging the conspiracy/butthurt supremacists. Jesus Christ these people come out of the woodwork. Our exhibit brought a lot of great information to light and I really loved educating people. But a holy shit did it uncover a deep vein of nutjobs, grave robbers and bigots.

  9. ​​ @CogitoEdu  actual member of the United States military here. Those are in fact military grade weapons. The fact that they are small arms is irrelevant to the term Video is awesome.

  10. ​ @CogitoEdu  You are in fact using the appropriate term. Those are military grade weapons that happen to be small arms (not artillery and generally man portable or portable buy small units.)
