US soldier recovers after losing all four limbs

[bilalbahi]

now join the handycap army !!

[danielraselle]

that's good enough,fack you american shit...we weill kill you more,fuck america...your country is shit,always think you're the only who;s right.....

[ImoenOfTelengard]

@danielraselle America is a continent, not a country dumbass. The United States is the country.

[Kimy9107]

omg poor

[1L1R1A]

maybe that shell that hit you was made in the USA buddy.

[210482fmj]

It's distressing to see and know thousands of people will have this happen to them. This could be me or you in the next lifetime for all we know. We gotta move on and stop fighting these wars.

[MrBodedad]

Lost all four parties to the absurdity of war

Led by Bush

[UndercoverCracker]

@MrBodedad Obama sucks too get off of Bush's nuts liberal.

[redbus17]

this is so sad. this brave soldier now has to live like this. much respect to him for his sacrafice.

[MrCharlesmansun]

This is also why I do not consider the Air Force as soldiers. Unless you are on the ground dodging mines, bombs and bullets, you are not a soldier. To fly over at some great height and drop a bomb or shoot a missile and fly away, that is not soldiering. That is preparing for American Airlines.

[MrTenNumb]

@MrCharlesmansun The Airforce uses ground troops to like the Pararescue or Combat Control Units not everyone is a pilot!

[MrCharlesmansun]

@MrTenNumb I just look at the stats. 1000's of soldiers, US Marines, Army have died in two wars these past 10 years. Navy and Air Force? About 100 combined for 10 years. Sorry even for those, but it just shows. Near zero danger for those two branches. Yeah, if you are not a pilot, usually you are supporting a pilot somewhere and in some way.

[MrCharlesmansun]

Man, you know what? I have no problems. I think I do until I see this young man overcoming this sort of injury and I realize, I have no problems. I just feel sorry for myself.

[KripDrip]

anyone dumb enough to join the military deserves whatever they get

[Voorhees67]

@KripDrip people join our military to fight for our country and is considered a high honor, it teaches you many things that you'll never learn otherwise, it's not about killing people or going into battle, they defend our rights as a country and they continue to succeed in doing so because of these men and women who PURPOSLY AND HONORABLY give their lives and limbs to maintain those rights and do what's right, but they absolutely do not deserve it! this man is ten times the man you'll ever be!

[MelonheadTheMan]

war sucks

[MoBea]

Wow. God Bless.

[honestlyimbatman]

i hope this happens to all the US marines... limbs blown off but still breathing... keep coming u pigs the iraqis will fuck u up one by one

[Voorhees67]

@honestlyimbatman pigs? listen to yourself, as an individual, i don't really believe in hatred of an entire group or race of people, just individuals, like yourself, just ignorant and full shit. if somebody in the marines heard about you, they'd make you more fucked up then the brave man in this video, expect this man is highly honored for his actions and all you are is piece of shit, if this happened to you, we would all laugh at you and cut off your tounge so you can shut the fuck up :D

[honestlyimbatman]

@Voorhees67 judging by ur profile pic ur a black idiot... americans have fucked ur race up for centuries why are you defending ur oppressor.... btw america despises black monkeys..... go suck a marines dick nigger

[Voorhees67]

@honestlyimbatman haha, i'm actually not black, or mixed, or dark skinned at all. if i was, i most certainly wouldn't defend your sorry ass as oppossed to the marines, once I again I keep telling your stupid ass, they fight for our rights and protect our country. what have you done that serves any purpose? the marines certainly have a purpose for what they do. all you ever seem to do is just to be an ass on youtube and creep up on peoples' profiles and make racial decreminations.

[MightyWhitey8814]

It seems like there are alot more amputees coming home from the war in the middle east than there has been in other wars. I could be wrong, though. Sad shit anyway you look at it.

[8corporal]

I found this young man`s story bravery and humanity deepy moving. As a former military man, I was almost moved to tears,,,,all 4 limbs and the hidden mental scars. Respect to this young man, and disgust at war, espeically energy related wars that Iraq and Afganistan clearlly are, at least in my opionionated view!

[DarkPigeon21]

Respect!!

From the UK

[shadowofears]

A FOIA lawsuit forced the Commerce Department to fork over some documents of Cheney’s Energy Task Force documents from March 2001, including a map of Iraqi oilfield, pipelines, refineries, terminals, and potential areas for exploration. There also was a Pentagon chart titled “Foreign Suitors for Iraqi Oilfield Contracts,” and one chart detailing Iraqi oil and gas projects.Welcome to American democracy and Freedom Oil

[pantyflash]

Like, even though your arms & legs are hosed, you're awesome.  Still, folks don't recover from this type of mayhem. So sad, babes!

[cheris3]

Although he has lost all his limbs, he is the strongest mentally. His dedications to his work, courage and selflessness make all of us to be so proud of him. He is a brave warrior indeed.

Please don't be discourage. Your family and love ones must be very glad that they did not lose you. Be strong! God is with him through it all.

[210482fmj]

you do realize we could be in afghanistan for another 1000 years.

[nextlevel2burittos]

i think technoegy will advance in the very near future so things will only get beeter

[nextlevel2burittos]

you seriously are an inspiration! i'm not joking your enemys didnt damage your spirte!

[91ariadna]

I study Occupational Theraphy, my biggest wish is work with soldiers like Brendan

[24Rorschach]

He'll be back in the Army once the technology has gotten to the point where machine is more efficient than human tissue lol

[stupify551]

what is this arsenal of megadeth...by the way son here's your wheelchair.....ask not what you can do for your country..ask what your country can do for you...

[3939jessie]

hes the strongest perosn ive ever seen he doesnt even let his problems stop him or bring him down im floored i mean we alll say oh move on dont let this and this and that stop u but when ur in a situation like that it would be hard to not break down and want to give up but he doesnt its amazing...support the troops they die for us everday and get hurt in the process just for our freedom...

[carcasscheesecake]

....army strong?...more like army weak....what is this arsenal of megadeth....certainly none the wiser..

[ngennaro35]

good luck man i hope you accomplish any goal you set out to achieve.

[21April853BC]

Hang in there brother! @ 6.40 you are looking great. Keep up with the therapy!

[fuglymidgets]

THERE BUILDING ROBOT SOLDIERS ARRRR RUN!!

[HRRyan2]

"this is a brand new hand, i just got it yesterday" i lol'd.

[foxbat1234]

My eys began to water.

It did not stop.

What can I say for him?

I do not find any word.

[11wilbert11]

he's a true inspiration 

[azzer50]

I don't understand how he can still seem so optimistic having had this happen, massive respect to him

[zOiNhUh]

@azzer50 two words: patience and faith...

[16lakerpride24]

people are losing limbs, losing lives, just for a war tht doesnt even make fucking sense

[zOiNhUh]

@16lakerpride24 the eco-nazis as EPA think iraqi gasoline is better to the environment than biodiesel... only those guys can see any sense in the war...

[sophieellen2]

All of you talking politics need to realise what this video is all about..I have and probably never will see such an inspirational man in my life. He's much more of a person then all you!

[locriansrevenge]

thats one brave MAN!

[Crystal0mask]

LOL he is like robo cop.

[hachet0001]

It's funny that all you people are hating on George Bush. He wasn't too bad of a president. Compared to Obama, he's pretty much a saint. God damn obama

[Athlios1991]

and all this because of ungle sam...... for nothing

[Davoiscool]

What an inspiration.

[k4r4eva]

who told you to go there bro! if you go to a war you expect enough shit like this! and deserve it.

[astoriazfinest13]

god dam and he was in an fuckin MRAP...

[AZADMOKSHA]

The irony is that America went to WAR with Vietnam under Bush Sr.'s decision... And America has seen two WARs (Afganistan ans Iraq) under the Bush administration...

So should we not question the intentions of the Bush family??

America Respond to this!!!

[zOiNhUh]

@AZADMOKSHA about bush sr i don't know but his son is too much immediatist with his profit interests...

[shaemus64]

god bless this young man , An inspiration to us all .

[Smithandrewskij978]

I think that George W. Bush should pay for all of the damage, for all the lives lost and injured soldiers

[Smithandrewskij978]

We did not even need to go to war

[Smithandrewskij978]

This is so awful because George W. Bush is the "WORST PRESIDENT EVER"

[MatchCard]

Funny, on the other side of things if any Iraqi survived something like that they would be a living paperweight.

[martinlarsen20]

this is what you get for going to war.

pwned.

[117piehitman]

i hope this man is able to adapt to his new arms. its the least he diserves

[1982FMJ]

the reality is these guys are fucked. Its all very easy to be nice and pretend they are gonna make it but the fact is there lifes are screwed. only corrupt people would allow people to sign up for this nowing full well the get injured. this is worse than vietnam war injuries. Afghanistan war is the worst of all. it never even had to happen

[fasteddie847]

I guess I don't have as many problems as I thought I did

[tooreal556]

a true example of a soldier on AND off the battlefield

[westsidetaytay]

Thank you Brendan for all that you have sacrficed for us.You are so Brave!!! I am praying for you

[NigelGriff]

Dues Ex

[crazyboafrog1986]

good job Brendan . hugs n prayerz

[daf1236]

wow thank you for your service solider hooah

[hydrox289]

Hi everyone, My name is Michael Marrocco, the brother of Brendan Marrocco. I'm the guy in the video in the blue shirt walking with him when he has his prosthetic legs on. I just want to thank everyone who commented on my brother's will power and your words of encouragement. Have a great day and God Bless America.

[weweallthewayhome]

so unfair, i dont think id have the will to get out of bed in the morning if i was him

[milkyze]

this guys got so much willpower...no wonder an EFP couldnt kill em.

best of luck with recovery...someone just got added into my prayers ;)

[Anubie86]

War's just a sad excuse for cowards (AKA Politicians) to get rich. Whos blood is shed? These brave young men...while the cowards sit at home getting rich. Thank you for your service Brendan Marrocco, and to all those serving your nation.

And fuck you meddling politicians.

[groovysolidbabyyeah]

god speed brother!! never give up!!

[100tonlifter]

Shit...God bless this man. I hope he lives a happy and successful life. May he be prosperous and have a life filled with love and happiness

[RmsFootball75]

GOD BLESS

[bigforkyFTW]

God bless him, so young but yet so mature about it... I think that todays liberal media and hollywood is just disturbing how much they disrespect the troops... good for him that he is over coming this though!

[dawsonsfate]

I'm very glad that he believes he can do it and almost nothing can stop him. Sometimes, there are a lot of people who will tell you some part in your lives that you cannot do something. And for some people like SPC Marrocco, he's able to prove that he can accomplish a lot of things even though there are obstacles in front of him. People like him, whether they are in or not in the military, truly inspires me to overcome certain obstacles in my life also.

[mogultech37]

god bless

[shalaidah1]

What an amazing, brave man! Totally inspiring, I wish him well for the future and hope that his motivation of not giving up will rub off on others

[HipFlipz]

Wow... amazing, you have served our country proudly, I hope you adapt well and live the rest of your life without much pain. You are a hero.

[aiveec]

I am soooo glad that our technology is so great now that he and our other soldiers can walk and hold things again.

[aiveec]

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AL THE WAY!!

[Csabika30NY]

Jesus my Lord, please bless him and help him to conquer every single obsticle. Amen

[haaaaaaaaaand]

Remarkable video, his optimism is truly inspiring.

[John17815]

To those who see this video, please go and donate to the "Wounded Warrior Project". God Bless you Brendan. I pray for you and your family.

[dingleberry1989]

He's from Staten Island, New York City.

MANY people reading this would be dead, never born, slaves, lamp shades in a concentration camp or gulag if not for guys like this. It's a rough world.

Amazing. Humans can adapt to almost anything. And he does will partially probably because of his young age. He's a psychologically and physically strong dude. His caregivers must also be strong. They need to be. Puts most peoples petty problems in perspective.

[digitalSensei]

This is so sad :-( I am happy that he is so strong-willed and his bravery is without question. But why should someone so young be subjected to such horrific injuries?! I see no sense in war in this case. Just my opinion.

[spacepatrolman]

@digitalSensei mother where is my father where is my brother their at war you made them join the filthy us army you told them all the dirty rotten lies now my father and my brother are gonna have to die from a song by david peele

[streetwarrior31]

I feel sorry for this Guys,who lost parts of their bodys in a war that only serve to Bancksters.

I bet if this guy had again the oportunity to go to war again,he shure wouldnt see the all thing in the same way.

The money that he won,sudnly just dont make any sense now

And if people thinck hard,Wars have only importance to one kind of people...the greedy ones, the bancksters and their afiliates, becouse the other part, the only thing that win, is suffer & misery.

this must end

[stratassassin]

@streetwarrior31 didnt you hear him say he loved it, these guys fight for eathother, but i aggree on the banksters nd fuck politics :)
