  • I praise our military and the men and women who sacrifice their time, family and lives to protect our country. However, I despise when someone joins up so that they can have a story to tell and for only that reason. It's pathetic. EX Cpl Snodgrass (he was discharged and sent home on your dollar for threatening the lives of men in his unit while deployed because someone pissed him off) is lying. This "story" never happened. Although, it was a nice "story", wasn't it?

  • @homeinbarca For those who take their military post seriously, I commend you, I admire you. For those of you who take it for granted and shit on the gift that you've been given to lead your country, shame on you. Thankfully, you are outnumbered by the greater many.

  • a letra que diz tudo

  • Thank you P.O.D. for supporting our troops, we love you and respect you...i love your music and I'm going to the army in a year :)

  • P.O.D Tell me why

  • P.O.D Tell my why

  • no disrespect to the marine, but i hate it how whenever we say soldier, we automatically talk about U.S soldiers,the video would have been more compelling if u interviewed soldiers from a variety of different countries, idf to botswanan defense force, retired russian soldiers to former Nazis, maybe even members of Taliban or Al-Queda, to stop letting political and foreign affiliations of one's country affect who is interviewed and who isnt. A soldier is universal, and can be found on both sides

  • Fuck everyone who dislikes this

  • its weird how one song can save lifes. just cant imagine it by words

  • don't ask me why they fighting we all a monkey i think :3 idon't know it 1009 problem

  • Can someone explain a resume of the history? I can´t understand cause of his accent. i´m still learning english.

  • @flatube1982 The soldier and his troops were driving and they were listening to P.O.D. and their song Satellite came on which woke the driver up instantly and he noticed something on the side of the road which was an explosive that couldve killed them all but he stopped in time since he was awake from the song

  • @TimS532 very nice history!

  • @flatube1982 I thought it was a very amazing story!

  • anyone that dislikes this must not like the freedom we in the armed forces give to them.

  • @unboundflame 'freedom'?lol,here in the US?what planet you're on? look how many children and adults the US killed , terrorized and destroyed. so many lives and so many buildings including hospitals.at least with Saadam people were going on about their lives.Now some places still don't have electricity and running water.And so what if he was a dictator:sometimes a dictator is needed.Look at your uncle Bush,that war criminal.But the US will get it again and again.No more a 'super-power'-superdumb'

  • @unboundflame thank you for the freedom .... I will be working with the armed forces next year for my 18th birthday

  • Never heard of a "specialist" in the USMC. Lolz

  • Snodgrass sleeping on patrol! What a fucking surprise. I Love you brother. 3/5 Wpns. "Get Some". And this is not a soldier, its a Marine.

  • Snodgrass sleeping on patrol! What a fucking surprise. I Love you brother. 3/5 Wpns. "Get Some". And this is not a soldier, its a Marine.

  • song in the back ground?

  • I am a Marine and im insulted that the title of this video is called "soldier"--when its clearly about a Marine. I am not trying to be belligerent or rude, i just respectfully request that you guys and the rest of the world familiarize yourselves with the difference between soldiers and Marines.

  • @SEAMENBLASTER A good number of people in that video are specialists, its not entirely the marines. If you are "offended", you need to grow some thicker skin, and realize the majority of this country groups the entire armed forces into one big pool, and just recognize a uniform, and not the individual branches, and we're damn lucky we get the respect we do (compared to my dad post-Vietnam). Its not the best wording in the video, true,oh well, great story, props to the Cpl.

    -fellow serviceman

  • Comment removed

  • @SEAMENBLASTER i dont believe one branch is better than the other, we all fight for the same goal, and we all bleed the same colors, when one dies, we all feel it. so please do not act superior to the rest of us, if you do, then you have no right to call yourself a soldier, marine or anything since we are all equal and play our parts in this war to protect our beliefs. perhaps it is you that should familiarize yourself on the meaning of "soldier"?

  • @SEAMENBLASTER

    You act like your better than everyone else...we all fight for the same thing so grow up

  • @SEAMENBLASTER I too am a marine so I understand there is a huge difference between the Army and the Corps to start the Army is ten times our size but we do most of the fighting and dieing. However no need to be insulted we are all brothers I have been called soldier by people who meant well besides as far as our military service goes the only person who's opinion matters is the Marine fighting next to you SEMPER FI.

  • @shine7ish

    what? are you fucking stupid. tha isnt true, they do the same amount of fighting. are you seriously the ignorant t think such a thing. instead of just looking at your own branchs combat how bout you look at everything. my borhter did more fighting in the city of ramadi in 2006 as did the marines in fallujah. the army is doing operations along side the marines plenty of times in afghanistan.

  • Has P.O.D ever been able to Vist the Troops in irack

  • war is a very sad truth that the world and its people have to deal with.

  • I dont get how they fight for your country... a several thousand miles away in a land that was better off under a dictatorship.

  • God saved him

  • im in the army hooah 170th A CO 2-18 and all i can say is if you dont stand behind on us than stand in front of us and try doin our job as a infantry man sometimes doin those trigger squezzes on women or children is not easy but its either my buddys life or theres and its hard trust me were goin for our second deployment to afghan early 2011

  • OORAH!!!

  • Soldiers are only in the army. Marines are from the Marine corp. Sailors are from the Navy. Airmen are from the Airforce

  • @Tippet76 Soldiers are military personnel PERIOD. Doesn't matter which branch

  • @Ddubya77 Actually your wrong. My father is a Marine. I am in Marine ROTC and I have lived next to an Army base for the last five years. I'm pretty sure of what I'm talking about.

  • @Tippet76 Well I did two walks in Afghanistan with the Marine's 2nd battalion in 02-03'.. I am a Marine first, but soldiering was my job just like the Army boys. Ultimately a soldier is someone in the military. Are you going to go active Marine after ROTC?

  • @Tippet76 So cause your father was a marine, and you play marine in school you think your something. Shut up and actually be in the military before you start knowing what your talking about.

  • @FraserCDN ROTC means that I'm signed up to be an officer dumb fuck

  • @Tippet76 Dam your signed up the the military, you deserve a gold star.

  • @Tippet76 I wouldn't want an asshole like you as my officer, and I'm sure the military doesn't want one either!

  • @RichardtheLionhart Would you prefer a politically correct person that doesn't know what they're doing? The marines don't want "nice" people they want people who take no excuses. Do you think that people don't get talked to like that in bootcamp?

  • @Ddubya77 :D~~~<===8

  • Semper Fi

  • I dont know why, but the generals get most of the credit when the young fought and bled along side their mates.

    Something tells me that today's teens are being used as bait for one nation to puts its name up the rank. And for what? Glory? Maybe some respect? Not many safe havens out there anymore. Nor any rightooussss man

  • @giotheguitarist Generals love their men like brothers, there not like politicians, they fought for many years and now what its like in there shoes. They also know how the scars out and inside is. Generals plan to win the battles they less way people die, if thier was a way that nobody would die, they will pick. Their not in it for glory or the fame, thier in it because they love their country, and their brothers

  • @ymca398 i see what you mean. I dont know man, war is never right, but war did chjange the world, eh?

    Good thing generals are good people fighting for a bteer country though.

  • now im not pro war but i must say suport our men and women of the military!

  • Makes me giggle with joy, and make me all warm inside! :D

  • isnt marine stand up 4 killers for state??

    slaves killing slaves in my eyes...and i have nothing against you brain washed..

    but please ansver me that question.. how does it feel to kill onather human being?

  • @dove997 After awhile, it doesn't feel anything, at all.

  • @dove997 The state always try to do get the poor man to fight his wars, but when you on that field you try to save on another to live another day. It the most terrible felling in the world to kill some one, but it is also terrible when a friend you talk with 5 seconds ago gets shot in the head. There not fighting for the "cause" all the time, they fight for you,me,and his friend.

  • @dove997 It's the worst feeling in the world, but when your best friend is next to you and you know that if you dont pull that trigger, he will die, you do what you have to do. Im in the armyn not active right now, but I killed about 4 Afghanis on my last tour in Afghanistan and I still think about it every day of my life. I don't fight for my country. I fight to protect my country, brothers, and family, and if I have to kill another human being for that to happen, then so be it. Hooah!!

  • am with ur!!

  • the best song

  • watcsong is this

  • dats wassup

  • War sucks man... war is just a business for the companies... thats all. Fight for the country?? JA!

  • good shit

  • Now that is awsome.

  • marine /air foce / army is all soldier and they fight for ur country

  • and the navy and coast guard and army national guard

  • @bezero2005 but who fights for them?

  • @bezero2005 what about the navy?

  • @bezero2005 no friend soldier is army only...you got

    Marine / airmen (airwomen) and soldier they aren't all soldiers!

  • @bezero2005 lol...not my country, i live somewhere else >.>

  • @bezero2005 war is meaningless

  • @swedenrockrules

    what does that even mean? that is so vague. I don't think people even think what they are saying. They just repeat the mantra they heard from others.

  • @MrSpeakDTruth fuckyou, you are just another american who thinks that ''these soldiers want to defend their country, am i stupid cos i think war is meaningless, well if i am stupid then you are a hopeless case

  • Comment removed

  • @swedenrockrules

    look act mature and use some logic. swearing does not accomplish either. look you are resulting in ad hominem attacks on me that say nothing to back up your argument. the fact that i am an american has nothing to do with the fact that you cannot back up your case with anything intelligent.

  • @swedenrockrules War is meaningless? Without war there would be half the countries there are, and all under dictatorship or communist control.. You must be from a country where the USA has already went balls to the wall in... Have some.

  • @DylnCox at least IRAQ WAR was meaningless...fuck bush

  • @daftever No. Iraq war is for resources, unlike what the US government was to tell people, that it's about WMDs and terrorists. Sure that may be some of it, but that's not the reason. The US has 2% of the world's oil refineries, we're also the country that consumes the most oil, which is scaring the government, instead of looking for alternatives they decide they'll just take it from Saudi Arabai. Better them then me.

  • @DylnCox so invade a country, killing it's people and stealing their resources is a good thing? lost near 5,000 us soldiers, spends billions on war, does it worth it?

    i'm not gonna debat on war lol i support the US army (but i still piss on bush fuckin face) just like i support the french army and NATO but there is always things i won't understand.

    anyway long live USA and France!

  • @daftever No I agree, it's not ethical or the right thing to do. Losing any life, whether it's 5 or 5,000, is too much of a risk when trying to take over a country for whatever purpose. And correct, spending billions on war is ridiculous, especially when 1. we shouldn't be over there and 2. we don't have that money in the first place, we're constantly getting further in debt with various countries, it's in the trillions. I'm with you, man. 100%

  • @DylnCox theres nothing with what communist used to stand for but its changed

  • Comment removed

  • @oxytrebor "Join the army" he says... Um. No that's not my thing, everyone in my family is or has been military, not the life I want. Send my kid there? She's 6 months old, she probably doesn't want to go. Coward? Okay, lmao... I never said the US has balls, never said that at all you're not reading what I said. I don't live in Scandinavia so that makes no fucking sense. So what? It's not bad, it's the fact that it persuades other countries to follow in stride. Make sense on your next comment .

  • @DylnCox Join the fuckin' army and better yet send your kids there (if and when you get some)

    fuckin' coward.the US has 'balls'? yeah real fuckin' 'balls' to drop bombs on innocent civilians ...

    you're a retard so what that some countries have communism or dictatorship?you sound like a fuckin' woman.how is that yoru fuckin' business you dumb fuck? go join the US army and die in the process!you sound like a typical fuckin dumb hick.the US ain't the shit no more... it's collapsing HILLBILLY !

  • @oxytrebor Hey, why don't you comment and then delete it and the comment again adding something short and then delete it too. Call me a coward? You can't even get your head straight on what you want to say. By the way you react to small political talk I assume you have no friends. Which is okay, but if you want some you need to learn not to get upset so easily, you're acting like a little bitch. The US is collapsing? Really? Cause I've been getting gas, groceries, etc. everyday with no problem.

  • @oxytrebor and can still kick yer ass on its way down whoo-ah from canadian forces fuk off

  • @DylnCox Oh yeah... US did quite good at rushing into some conflict and start a war, then remove the dictator of that country and replace him with someone the US chose, such as Sadam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi.

    very impressive how one nation can solve something momentarily, and then later on realize how much they've fucked shit up...

    All USA has done since WW2 is to act like a big boss and decide how to solve a conflict, and most of the time just make the conflict even worse by trying.

    bravo!

  • @bezero2005 jo for ur county why tell me the reason why they are fighting ?

  • @kosova973 they answered the call

  • @bezero2005 so ur saying that the navy doesnt fight for our country! The NAVY does as much damage as the marines do. The marines army and even the airforce could not survive if the NAVY wasnt there. We wont when the war if our branches dont work together. UNITED means were together

  • these are MARINES- not soldiers. (marines= usmc, soldiers= army)

  • @760db They may be marines but they are all soldiers of the United States Armed Forces.

  • i know haha. but i grew up in a marine town (next to camp pendleton) and i know they hate being called soldiers. i made that mistake once.

  • dude my dad is a former marine hes now in the army ive been to camp pendleton if i called one of them a soldier bet they wouldnt complain

  • bro they get way butt hurt about it. anyways besides the poin; great video!

  • @760db No, marines=soldiers, army=soldiers, navy=soldiers, coast guard=coast guard, air force=soldiers.

  • @ewy45 I wanna see you tell a Marine he is a soldier and live friend

  • @TheDrummerscout I want to know why Marines are all so hard headed. Whether they like it or not, they're soldiers. They don't do anything more or anything less than I do in the army to deserve not to be called a soldier.

    Definition of the term "Soldier" - Any one person who fights for a specific, set cause under a leader.

    Now I am almost certain that soldiers in the marine core fight for a cause under a leader.

  • @ewy45 this is how it goes

    Army = Soldier

    Air Force = Air Man

    Navy = Sailor

    Marine = Marine

    Coast Guard = Coastie

    THats why they are so "hard headed" everyone has a title...not just to be all grouped in as one you can however say troops as in "Bless Our Troops"

  • @fortheriot I have never heard the term Air man or Coastie before in my life, and I'm a staff seargant. A fucking soldier is a fucking soldier. There may be "titles" as you say, but soldiers and troops are the same thing, and anyone who is in the military can be considered a soldier. Now shut the fuck up, and go play videogames, while I save your sorry american asses from being bombed and killed.

  • @ewy45 I don't play video games...don't even own them...my entire family is in the Military...So i thank them for my freedom...not you...and when my time comes I will to serve my country

    My father was an "Air Man" go ask him, he will tell you himself thats what they call those in the airfoce...and coasties...its also a nick name....trust me, go call a Marine a soldier and watch his reaction...

    gday

  • @TheDrummerscout 

    A soldier---- a person who serves in an army; a person engaged in military service.

    take from that second definition that he is engaged in military service...that sounds right doesnt it? oh, the first one youre saying?

    read the second link to see this:

    army---the military forces of a nation

    i believe the marines are a military force, no?

  • thats truee.

  • stop bitchin bowt war its part of life an sumtimes it jus has ta be done sumtimes dont judge it till u been there

  • i agree and I mean thats how shit evolves

  • ahaha finnaly sumone that agrees..people that say "peace not war" are ignorant and dont understand that there are people you cant reason with....

  • whenevers something about war, you kids argue just watch the video

  • This is a good story

  • He slept behind the wheel and woke up because of P.O.D.s song, sleeping ebehind the wheel?

  • This is too any1 who hates the United States. You owe the United States more than you will ever know. you owe our soldiers more than you will ever know. We fought in alot of wars, some even call us warmongers, but the reality is, we are far from warmongers. This country has lost soo many good people, al for the cause of someone else. Who does the world turn too whne somehting major happens? The United States of America. Who does all these people who think they can hate us and our government

  • We also invented the Atomic Bomb which gave us Atomic Power. WW2 was won, Nazi's are defeated and the world is saved. Korea, we went over and helped the South Koreans, once again it was us. We won that war and saved South Korea, which today is very succesfull country. We went into Vietnam, the French ran out, we went there and we did what we could, although it would all fall too the communists, we won that war, we saved alot of people which many came to the united States. The South American

  • Conflicts we helped the Iraqi and Afghanistan operations, we now support those PoS countries. Never complain about America, you owe our soldiers alot as it is, do not disrespect them. Plus we gave you two things which you use too criticise us with. Freedom, and the Internet.

  • The US supplied the Nazis with money to keep the russians at bay. Vietnam was another move to block communism, at the cost of over a million innocent Vietnamese lives, and the country is completely screwed. The US has backed dozens and dozens of dictatorships in favour of uncountrollable democracys which it cannot control economically. Unconstituitaionally invading a country illegally (Iraq) and lying about the reasons.

  • Freedom is not something the US invented, and equal rights for all were only given in the 60s onwards. The use of torture and rendition which is illegal under the geneva convention and its own constituion.

    Im not disrespecting the soldiers and the US has done some incredible things but you cant ignore what the US has done and is still doing. Its still propping up horrible dictatorships, supplying guns to war torn areas, and is one of the worst polluters of the enviroment.

  • It may sound like an anti-american rant but its not, the UK has made some major fuck-ups too, but the US puts its own economy above everything, including its own people. The rich get richer, and the poorer get poorer. Big corporate buisness over the peoples rights and liberties. Contributing to the persecution of many impoverished peoples is not something to be proud of, its not the american people, its the goverment and it needs to stop. Go research, and you'll see. It cant hurt to look.

  • hey douche, war makes the world go round. and we didn't invade illegally or lie about the reasons. we gave those weapons in the fight against russia so how about you shut the fuck up until you have all your facts straight.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Ummm I think you'll find that its been leaked that both Bush and Blair knew Saddam didn't have anything to do with 9/11 and that he didn't have any WMD's either. Unless you're talking about the Nazis, then supplying and propping up a dictatorship and appeasing (Which was done by both the British and the US) didn't work and WW2 happened and millions died. I dont think that 'makes the world go round.' Stalin still took eastern Europe. You should really read up on things. It helps.

  • the only reason the american military has the power it has is because it is fed heaps. america will always have people enlisting and have the means to support an army that goes through so many soldiers. the threat is not that america is strong or relenting the fact is you can just throw more and more people into the conflict. like most asian nations. it is also stupidly funded by the american government. not to mention america camped it up in both world wars.

  • It doesnt matter how late in the war we came in. The fact of the matter is, we won. We were smart enough to let the germans get tired and we came in cleaned up the mess.

  • but, that could also be seen as cowardly. let the rest of the world get fucked up. but hey. americans need recognition to survive. so yeah yous are the shit. congrats.

  • of course yous can come out on top when you dont play til near the end of the game.

    the atomic bomb did win the war. it was also mass murder. apparently when the bad guys do it its bad but when the good guys do its ok.

  • @schmiley92 in war, there's no good or bad guys...and it's not ok...

  • @Nac56..dude don't you have a life?

  • who knows how many guys are still alive from those group of people..R.I.P

  • thats scary and actully a wise choice u r a true american solider and all ove us are p.o.d worriers

  • WOOO! GO P.O.D.

  • whats the song?

  • yo why do u hate us just answer me that

  • relax dude i cant even remember what i said i must have been drunk ,no hard feeling eh

  • wht ligit reason do u hve to hate us? but before u answer if it has anything to do with how we r at war n we dont belong in that war then guess wht we dont chose to do the things we do our gvrnment does. we r not government the gvrnmnt is consisted of regular civilians with money and power. we are ligitly just dogs. the reason why we join come in many diff stories but most of them might like this.. we had no other choices our family fucked us over n we neded money. dont hate us hate our gvrnmnt.

  • one word to describe this........Amazing. this is definatly a mricle from god and don't say it isn't because if it isn't then i don't know what is

  • god doesnt involve himself in wars, if you read the bible the first commandment is thou shal not kill, the 2nd commandment is love your neighbor as yourself, do you think god would want people to kill their neighbors?

  • hey read Piercing the darkness and thi present darkness by frank perreti and you'll see the right side of our story

  • if you think god's not real then explain to us one thing, how come we're still alive? by now if we hadn't had jesus die for our sins then the world would have turned into a black rock of Chaos spiralling out of control. no one would be alive.....not you me or not even this man sharing his testamony to us. seriously dude, if you want to say god doesn't exist then pick a channel that's not run by christians with christian viewers telling you what is REAL, that being that god DOES exist!!!!!

  • @mrmcevilweevil i have no problems with christians BUT Jesus died for our sins and healed ppl who where sick but non believers do not believe in heaven or hell so there would not be chaos your assuming there would be bec you do believe But it could have been chaos to we do not know if its truly real or not God can exist Or it can be a lie If you think God exist he does If you think he doesn't then he doesn't Its what you believe

    Go ahead and delete this message author

  • @mrmcevilweevil please explain to me what would happen to cause the Black Rock of Chaos... I'm really interested ( I'm not joking, I even got pop corn )

  • what black rock of chaos?

  • @mrmcevilweevil by now if we hadn't had jesus die for our sins then the world would have turned into a black rock of Chaos spiralling out of control.

    That's what you said didn't you?!

  • hey can i just say something back at you, why do you and many of you other people (like beast259) need to question MY faith, i believe what i believe and that's all that needs to be said. you can believe whatever you want to believe or not believe but i'm gonna do exactly what Jesus did to pontius pilate when he was sentanced to the cross. i'm not going to say any more because i know that whatever i say you will not actually listen to and you will just discard it. so as of now, you get nothing!

  • @mrmcevilweevil i'm not questioning your faith.... i really want to know....

  • @SerbianCobra It's not surprising that a Serbian is arguing with people about religion. Dude just lay off,. v.v

  • @PeaceLoveAndBalkan 1st i'm not arguing i REALLY want to know.... not joking and what's that suppose to mean?! ( p.s. i'm not religious unlike a lot of my countrymen and women)

  • @SerbianCobra Well that's a first !!! What it's supposed to mean is that. I am Bosnian (: Aha. &&&, Almost all of the Serbians I meet on here argue with other people about religion so I wasn't really surprised.

  • @PeaceLoveAndBalkan well i don't like people that impose their religion on people and tell them they're dumbasses for not believing and stuff.... but the real believers i respect and really want to know about their beliefs no matter how dumb it sounds to me.... ( nek svi razumeju sta pisem bolje tako nego da me neko napada ) :D

  • Actually my friend you are incorrect. The first commandment is have no other gods before me. The second is not to love you neighbor as yourself, but to not make idols. The one you are thinking of is the sixth. And if you read it correctly, it says not to murder, which is very different than to kill. God ordered the Israelites to kill thousands of people when they entered the Promised Land. Killing people is not necessarily wrong, it all depends.
