My father was a Vietnam veteran and was spit on and insulted upon returning home. My heart breaks for veterans. As a va nurse I had one patient tell me that in order to get recognition he needs to be in uniform and it be a veteran holiday the rest of the time they are unnoticed and unheard.

My father was a p.o.w. in the Korean War. He was a p.o.w. for two years. And he said the same about coming home our local city had a parade for them and he said they were spat on and cursed at too. My heart breaks for the veterans of this country. But they have my utmost respect!!!

I don't think its about the "though shall not kill" as much as its about our soldiers losing faith in the reasons that they are fighting. I come from a military family and we have conversations REGULARLY about them feeling betrayed by our government, and feeling almost dirty with the guilt of what they were told was a righteous cause. My mom can't listen to this song without crying.

Agreed. My dad served in Vietnam and was in USAF for 40 years altogether. She has hearing loss, shrapnel that a sliver worked it’s way to his heart, PTSD, and a host of things that happened along the 40 years. When he went to claim help for the medical treatment from the VA, he was told that he had to prove he was a Vietnam Vet. WTH!?! Thank god my stepmom has a cousin who legally fights for veterans rights, he was able to go to D.C. and subpoena the records department. After 40 years of service!! 🤯🤬💔🤦♀️ it’s mind blowing the way the the government likes to break people down then hate to heal them back up. It’s a travesty!!!

A guy I used to work with a combat vet once told me a story about his deployment. They were in Afghanistan walking towards a village to help the people there. They saw a 60 year old man trying to rape a 10 year old girl on the side of the road. He asked his CO if they could help her. The CO said it’s not our mission ignore it. This didn’t sit well with him so as they passed he pulled the trigger and explained it as a weapon malfunction. He was still given a dishonorable discharge because his CO was an a hole but we need more guys like him if you ask me.👍

I am not an US citizen and I sometimes don't understand why the US army does what it does. That being said, I do believe that most of the times it's good that they do that. I do shed a tear every time I hear this song, and when I visited the US, I had the chance of talking briefly with a guy that was a veteran holding a board saying that any spare money would help. He was a really great man. I had a few dollars, one day before leaving so I didn't need them anymore. he didn't want to take them, I had to explain why I want to give that amount. Even at his lowest point in life, he taught of me instead of just accepting my gift. I will never understand why no buget is dedicated for veterans. Probably under 1% of what's dedicated for the active army would make a huge difference for the veterans. They were ready to give their life for your country, but your country can't give a dime for them. That is sad.

I have PTSD from a horrible childhood and experience flashbacks and nightmares. I didn’t serve but I was violated from 3-12 and it’s still hell and I’m 53. I empathize with Veterans so much as my dad was in the Army and I have a few family members that have served. Proud of my family for that. I always thank them and anyone I see that’s a veteran. One of my friends her dad was in Vietnam and he doesn’t talk much about it. I never bring it up but the things he saw omg! He was in the tank and watched his friends die. It was horrific.

And if you think the whole woodpecker reaction was something, you should have seen him when he first came back from Kandahar and we went shopping in a crowded WM.

When ever this video comes up I cant help but tear up while watching which eventually turns to anger at the end. Especially towards the VA. It takes an avg of 5 years to appeal a disability case, coincidentally, it is also the avg length of time a vet is homeless. Vet is trying to get compensation due to disability for which he cant work now because of said disability, yet the VA denies the claim for disability, so an appeal has to be filed. This is more VA admin side, doctor wise ive had alright service, psych failed me though, they really like to hand out pills like candy... sigh, anyway thanks for the reaction video.
