  • I'm British and still serving. The final scene clip of the crosses is very poignant "hanging out on the line" Class. Thanks

  • USMC

  • Great song, coldn't have said it better myself James.

    Persian Gulf vet.

  • As a 58 year old and 22 year AF Vet, Vietnam to Liberation of Iraq, I want to say Thank You.  This Video nails it.

    How I squandered my youth.

  • Who would post a warning for this? Youtube is really starting to piss me off.

    Thanks for another great one James.

  • Well done.

    What kind of moron would flag that as inappropriate for minors? Not one picture that wouldn't be right at home in a history textbook. Those heros fought for free speech, these morons try to censor it.

  • God Bless all of our Sons. And Daughters. I want to cry. Semper Fidelis.

  • Freedom Fighters

  • GREAT video! Why is everyone so lily-livered that they can't watch a video that tells it like it is?

  • India 3/5.

  • I love this video...thank you!

  • This is excellent, thanks.

  • Thanks for the vid James, & thanks to all who served, are serving, and will be

    USMC

    PFC. Dentz

  • HAHAHA are you talking about america? hahaha wrong.

  • Do you mind telling me what country you are? Cause unless your China, America can kick you sad little ass.

  • eh china has man power thats it their technology is nothing compared to the U.S.

    they are just RECENTLY getting cars for everyone

  • Beautiful. Thank you.

  • Why would Al Qaeda pour so many men and resources into a country they supposedly had no interest in, while having to fight our combat-deployed military? A terrorist force never takes the fight straight into the teeth of an opposing military. Never. Not unless the fight is so critical that they simply can't afford to lose.

  • For fuck sake, cant you god damn liberals understand that Bush doesnt make all the god damn decisions??? Have you ever heard of Congress?

    God just support the troops you pricks

  • Hey romankandle,

    U say that the sheep never learn, well romankandle,

    Baybe they have learnt, and They fight, for there family and friends at home, because they love them, they fight with there neigbours, and there country men, united as one, watching each others back, because conflict makes friend ships that last forever, they don`t fight because the goverment tells them to, they fight for there country, for there flag, for all the people who died before them

  • it's immaterial whether the soldiers are young & have been duped into joining the military nor do i care whether it's a rich mans war poor man's fight.all i care is that the soldiers are there in a war & they need us to support them & not let them down with insults.don't attack the people who's willing to give the ultimate sacrifice by implying that they are a bunch of young and ignorant ones.

  • Who is the punk bitch that flagged this and not the islamo nazi terror videos?

  • Why do you think they recruit teenagers for war? Because they aren't smart enough to realize they are being used as cannon fodder for the rich power elites that started the war. Rich man's war. Poor man's fight. They always make you think your being threatened of course. When was the last time Iraq, Germany, Korea, Vietnam or Russian invaded the US? Sounds like brainwashing, sounds like a big racket, and the sheep never learn.

  • Up years just watch the video!!!

  • Well, if you knew anything about history romankandle, you'd know that the United States would need help to defeat japan in world war II so technically we fought the german's so we could free up the other allies for help. Oh and let's not forget about the whole Genocide thing that they were committing. think before you post next time.

  • To all Serviceman! From Vietnam-to Cold Wa1r Warriors like me - to Desert Storm-To Iraqi Freedom! . Semper Fidelis!

  • HOOAH

  • oh, and if I haven't said it already, great video. awesome. I'd like to know who sang that song

  • who the hell are u to tell us this is america. it seems you hate the troops you dont deserve to be called an american. these guys are dying for us and you piss on them. fuck you Neoconhater you dont deserve freedom or America.

  • Just another lame propaganda clip, YAWN!

  • fuck u Neoconhater

  • Thanks for keeping the memories alive!

    AmericaSupportsYou [DOT] com

    God Bless the Finest and Brightest Men and Women of the United States - Our Troops!

  • Im leaving for the NAVY in three months, with any luck, Ill be a proud SEAL by next year. I just want to say, that wether or not you agree in this war, every soldier has his or her own reasons for fighting. There is glory in war.The People who find it nessacary to insult solldiers, rather than debate with a sliver of intellect, are cowards, and we shouldnt even give them the priviledge of being aknowledged. The world is full of assholes.

  • Excellent video. God Bless the Infantry. and thank you for removing some of these ignorant remarks... might want to take out one of mine once you laugh about it.

  • James, I apologize for the response I had to another comment. I am a Former Marine Officer (1983-1989). God Bless You and the Video you have posted. Never Forget!

    Kevin

  • I will remove comments in the next couple of weeks when I get time to delete them all. I'd like people to come and watch the video without the shouts of hatred coming through to whoever logs on. That's not what this little video is about. I've always dis-liked the concept of "reviewers" anyway. Thank You - James Hooker

  • Let me guess lordfec, you listen to the Communist News Network, AKA CNN? You Stupid fucking prick you don't deserve the protection you are getting from me and my fellow Marines!

  • Wuhahaha... hilarious crap you're uttering. maybe you should stop watching the "you can't handle the truth" scene over and over again.

  • Why I must 18 to see this video????

  • lordfec, lol, u really do need to go slit ur wrist, maybe that will make someone give a damn cause posting the same thing twice didnt.

  • There's also alot of tards like rhesus2108

  • IF IRAQS MAIN ASSET WAS SWEET POTATOE WOULD THE USH(UNITED STATES of HALIBURTON) BE THERE ANYTIME LET ALONE NOW ? AMERICA TO ME SEEMS THE MOST BRAINWASHED OF THE MAIN DEMOCRACYS FOX NEWS IS REPECTED !! ITS TRUE !!

  • And you sir have lost the meaning of the video. Go cry in your pillow

  • Have you ever been to Iraq or Afghanistan if not shut up becasue your preaching about something you know nothing about. Everytime our soldiers go out of base someone tries to kill them..so dont say theirs no reason to be their

  • jonxmartini and swampfox i bet you think fox news is a responsible news outlet ?

  • No, you no what is though my dad why becauase hes a soldier in the national guard and myself im joining the airforce and have tlaked to lots of my freinds allready in the service about what its like over there so i bet u listen to all the dam pansys who are anti war no matter why we are there..so once again lordfec dont preach blindly

  • qdddddddd

  • Stupid Yank, your the US is an invading a sovereign country, thus causing a war...of course someone will try to kill the occupying soldiers! Wouldn't you do the same if Germany invaded your country! Dumbass!

  • First off- We kicked Germany's ass twice and we'd do it again to save your ass - so i would think twice about who you're calling dumbass- think about it .

  • and Britian wasn't?

  • Don't tell anyone they can't comment on anything they please, what do you think this is the old USSR? It is all American to speak out about whatever you want and it is pathetic for you and so many others to spew that line of crap. Get used to it, its called America dumbass.

  • I'm glad to see some peopleenjoying their freedom of free speech while bad mouthing everything that allows them to have that freedom today. Really makes me feel proud to be sitting in a 130 degree desert so they can express themselves

  • Don't let the goat-f***ers get you down man, they'll either blow themselves up, or we'll do it for 'em. Keep on doin' what ya do. Semper Fi, Beati Pacifici!

  • Pepto, they don't get me down. The people portrayed in this vid not only give their lives in order for my kids to draw breath, they also fought, died and lived for other people to leave comments such as these. I won't edit any of these "thoughts." I WANT people to read them. Merry Christmas.

  • hahahah what ever you guys say i realy don't care,i don't care for this fucking stupid idiots losing life for nothing...My english is shit coz i never want to learn that shit,why we have to speak english there is so many other way of talk,so u guys need brain to understand that US and A will never win any war...

  • If you never wanted to learn it, then why are you speaking it idiot. And we will never win any war? Read a history book.

  • IF IRAQS MAIN ASSET WAS SWEET POTATOE WOULD THE USH(UNITED STATES of HALIBURTON) BE THERE ANYTIME LET ALONE NOW ? AMERICA TO ME SEEMS THE MOST BRAINWASHED OF THE MAIN DEMOCRACYS FOX NEWS IS REPECTED !! ITS TRUE !!

  • WAR IS A RACKET. Go google Smedly Butler, the only soldier who ever received 2 medals of honor. He told us as much 75 years ago, but you never hear anything about him on the Controlled TV do you? Wonder why? The truth is dangerous to the powers that control us behind the big screen. Live in darkness or seek the truth.

  • romankandle posts "Go google Smedly Butler, the only soldier who ever received 2 medals of honor."

    Smedley Butler was a Marine, not a soldier, and there have been 19 Medal of Honor double recipients in the history of the Medal of Honor.

    Google is useful for "seeking the truth" as you put it. Try doing your homework first, then posting what you have to say.

  • hey keep up the good work! dont let the negitive comment get u down! Semper Fi

  • great song!

  • I'd like to take the time to thank all the other nations aiding the world in it's struggle against terrorism as well, not just the US soldiers... particularely my thoughts go out to the norwegian stormsquadron in M-E-S in Afghanistan. Hang on guys, relief is coming! <3

  • I admire you Americans, i admire what you have done with you country, i admire what you have done with you country's resources, i admire the way you come to the aid of others but most of all i admire your PATRIOTISM. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

  • What a powerful and compelling song. Well done sir.

  • no war without soldiers... think about it!

    and don't be playing the victim, because america is the biggest aggressor!

  • soilder r here to protect from soilders, and other ass holes in the world, think about it, well i hate to break it to u but someone out theres always gonna use power and greed to get what they want, pll are sick, we need soilders to protect us:think about it:

    pce

  • i know, but it's something of a contradictio intermini.

    peace to you!

  • The guy sound like Schwarzenegger

  • So why is this beautiful video deemed inappropriate by YouTube? I guess anything honoring servicemen is inappropriate to YouTube.

    What a bunch of evil, lefty twits

  • All these war, all these men los and we still haven't learnt a fucking thing. God help us !

  • humankind? we are still in our infancy

  • Thank you hooker, this will mean a lot for many

    who have served. You must be a Marine.

    As for those who comment here, I hear truth from

    all sides. And for those that now severe, you

    have the right to speak your mind young hero,

    watch your back and safe home.

  • Iraq - 1

    USA - Nil Poi (again)

  • OK, Alphatubeone. How about USA - 2, UK - zippityfriggindoodah!

  • OH, Happy Thanksgiving

  • @ Jameshooker: plz ignore Alphacockone. 99.99% of Brits appreciate what the Americans do/have done for us. They just quietly get on with life while these morons spout shit instead of trying to find themselves a job. If we left the UK to him and his boyfriends we'd all be talking German by now and Arabic in the near future! BTW, top notch video! Take it easy fella :)

  • What can I say but "TRUE BRITS RULE!"

  • Well Done Mr. Hooker. BT&DT in my days.

    Thank You.

  • good video nothing more to say

  • Excellent tribute.

    It is absolutely reprehensible that YouTube has marked this video as containing "objectionable content" and requires you to be 18 to view it.

  • I could be wrong, but i think the VIDEO MAKER selects this option and not YOUTUBE

  • It's not the VIDEO MAKER's choice. I have read multiple reports that James Hooker (who created and uploaded this video) is very upset with the labeling. Individual YOUTUBE account holders can report that they feel videos have objectionable content and then YOUTUBE choses which videos get labeled this way.

  • ok, i understand ;)

  • the only reason this video is tagged adult comment is simply because liberals/socialists/Fools cannot compeat in the open mart of honest dialoge

  • It is a shame that someone reported this as inapt.

  • no its not

  • Trolls abound here I see. Have at them, my prettys. Let them say what they will, It's their "right" that these good men AND women gave to them selflesly. Let them have their say, then have at them, these Tetophiles™! Freedom of speech is a thousand edged sword.

  • AK76239: What are you babbeling bout boy? you should do the other math: how many bodies have been counted since 9-11 because of your so dumbed down amrerican troops? estimation: one milion! Next time you try to be smart about something, try and figure out why american policy is so much hated in the world by Muslims and non-Muslims all. because you are brainless do-gooders killers, no more no less.

  • Jubathe2nd posts "do-gooders killers,".

    Would you please define that term? It doesn't make sense. A 'do-gooder killer'?

  • Maybe he means that soldiers kill innocent people and then they claim to have done the right thing. All in the name of liberty and democraty... use your imagination jarhead

  • Maybe he means that soldiers kill innocent people and then they claim to have done the right thing. All in facezy posts "the name of liberty and democraty... use your imagination jarhead" "democraty"? I'm trying to use my imagination to visualize you and Jubathe2nd downrange...

  • lmfao, how about adding some footage of US troops dragging kids from the streat and beating them?

    oh wait, no one wants to see what we do to the 'enemy' we just wana see our poor ol soldiers that didnt deserve it. ;*(

  • It is amazing how stupid some of the people are who post on these forums. But they are the first ones to cry for help, too dumb to defend themselves..totally clueless...pity them. They are basically worthless.

  • Simple rule of thumb to keep in mind:

    If you havent served, or been to Iraq, then SHUT THE FUCK UP, you are obviously to stupid to tell that we are over their PROTECTING America, and the world, from extremist muslims, who have commited over 6,000 attacks worldwide since 9/11 ALONE!

  • good vid. i have the utmost respect for any war vet, or presentley serving soilder, no matter what country, here in canada, across the border, or across the ocean. They all make me proud, be glad your are walking free.

  • Most all haters, Suck on the nipple of the freedom that past military men gave their life for.Now we are trying to inject freedom onto Iraq.They hate that too.Haters won't fight or contribute to freedom.They just use it to spread their negative hate.

  • All you bastards think that being a american is a birthrite that your entitled 2.Right or wrong about us being there we are fightin not for the freedom of iraq or america where fightin 4 the american way of life in other words were fightin so that we can argue over us being here and them there.I love America and its racist poverty stricken ass this is the best country on earth.

  • this is a really good video and song,a good tribute to servicemen and women past and present.i am so proud of the job they are doing over there. i re-enlisted so i could go and serve with my brothers in arms.

    i wish all the boys and girls on the line,god speed and safe home.

    fmptetsuo when i get to afghanistan ill make sure i come to your door and slot you with the biggest knife i can get my hands on.

    a serving british soldier.

  • This is cool well done, Hope all the boys and girls come home soon. lost my uncle in the first gulf war. Not a big fan of The Bush boys, but when you sign up to serve your country you don't get to pick when or where you just do what your told, right or wrong. God be with all of you and come home soon.... RIP Colonel James Bishop U.S. Army

  • Proud of soldiers doing their job and going blindly where thex are told ? no thanks.

    Useless war but soon over ( one year or two max ) and for what results ? Democracy ? Freedom for Irakis ? no more Saddam and his FAMOUS weapon of mass destruction ?

    A better world ? what a crap war. Same result in Afghanistan.

    But still we have to support the troops.

  • Oct4brain, pomax, and fmptetsuo are not Americans or if they are, they need their mouths washed out with soap. I am so proud of our military. They are awesome young men and women and do not deserve the trash that get throw their way.

  • Beautiful.  Good job.

  • The comments here are really uplifting, a bunch of morons behind a key bord thinking they can change the world. They only damage they have is hamoroids, what a waste of education money. Go visit Normandy,Bastogne,Verdun,Point de Hock,Iwo Jima,Okinawa, never heard from? That figures!

  • You kids are fools. We serve because we love something more than ourselves. You self serving brats will never understand that. I am not poor, my familiy is not poor. I have a Bachelor's degree from Regis University. I serve because some things are worth fighting for...the least of all, you.

  • A degree makes you intelligent yes, but wise, no. Go out into the world and kill in the the name of your corrupt and deranged leader then kill yourself.

  • Shame on You. Regis University? What floor of some building was Regis? Loser.

  • Thank you for your service Eagleaton.

  • shut your fat pig mouth, you don't have any near as much corage as they do, so when you change your skirt in for something else you have no room for critisism.

  • fmptetsuo get a life retard.

    Or no... just kill youself...

  • I won t zephon09 kill myself for your own pleasure.

    But if you want to die like an hero go to Irak to bring some of your democracy and freedom ahahaha

    Get a brain dummy

  • For someone who tells someone else to get a brain, I thought I should let you know that you comments read like a 6 year old wrote them.

  • I don t give a damn what you GENTLY want to let me know. Who is the dumbest here? The supporters of a stupid war ( with their great leader ) blindly behind their brainless soldiers ready to obey or ... the reste of the world. And it is not by choosing a nickname including "genius" that you will sound more intelligent. Fuck this war and those who support it.

  • And especially a nice comment coming for a polish ahaha: your governement is suckng the dick of GW BUSH and following this idiots to this crazy war just for some bloody money... You are worth less than a prostitute. Join the army and go to Irak to get killed.

  • I looked at your profile...says your from Ireland. It's kinda lame that you say that stuff about americans. Last I checked there was a lot of messed up stuff in Ireland. You guys can't even keep from using each other for cannon fodder against yourselves in your own country. And you're talking about the U.S. and cannon fodder...

  • Throughout history goverments, kings, and religious leaders have used the poor as cannon fodder... Hell read up on Galipoli or the Charge of the Light Brigade... incompetence leading good men into battle... as Hemmingway said its always the wrong people that die in war... Bush is in the White House, Saddam is on trial, and Osama is living at the ranch... whats wrong w/ this picture?

  • hahahahha FMPTETSUO, hat was funny, check my vidoes too guys i guess most of you will love it

  • What a jerk you are. You should be in the bag!

  • I will be like all of us but not after being killed in a WRONG war after a HUGE lies of my dummy president.

    You went to Irak for Oil not for weapon of mass destruction so admit this and leave the irakis people.

    You are not there to free them and bring democracy. Don t be so blind. Poor soldiers dying there for nothing.

  • hahahahha FMPTETSUO, hat was funny, check my vidoes too guys i guess most of you will love it

  • You must be one of those stupid civilians. Dang I hate those civilians. Especially the lame ones like you.

  • Wrong i am not a civilian. But i am not blind in front of this situation. American soldiers ( like British or polish ) have nothing to do in Irak. Fighting for oil !!! Hell of a job. Because you are a soldier you have to switch offf your brain and listen stupidly to your president and get killed. I just can t support this crap war.

  • You signed up voluntarily. I did too. And no, my sister isn't coming home in a plastic bag.

  • You should be ashamed of yourself for saying something like that. For fuck's sake, that's somebody's sister. It just goes to show that you compassionate peace-mongers HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HUMAN LIFE.

  • You fucking little cock sucker. If you were within arms reach I would cave your fucking face in. Not for being against this war, but for what you said to autofixation. That was cruel and inhuman. I wish I could kick your teeth in. America rules...Fuck Yeah!!!

  • damn dude that was cold

  • Great video. Dang I miss my sister. She's in Iraq.

  • Be strong brother!!!

  • A great tribute to the young men who were not old enough to drink, buy cigarettes or vote -- but old enough to die in combat for those who could.

  • You know what? They signed up voluntarily. I singed up voluntarily too. So did my sister and my brother.

  • Although I believed my statement couldn't be misunderstood, your response proved otherwise. I'm proud of the men I served with (volunteers and draftees)including a good friend -- Jeff Thibault -- who died on his 18th birthday protecting the rights of war protestors to spit on us when we returned home.  I reread my post from your perspective and clearly see how easily it is to misunderstand my intentions. For that -- and that alone -- I apologize.

  • I'm sorry.I did misunderstand your comment. It makes sense now.

  • Are you proud to have army?? Are you proud to spend billions in weapons??? you belive in a war to have peace??? you belive in a war to have freedom??

    so the war propaganda gets you. Support the peace!! do not support the war.

  • You can not achieve piece by peacefull means with the enemy we are fighting.

  • hippie.

  • Yes, I am proud of the US Army. I believe the war we are fighting, the global war on terror, is necessary for our safety. The fact that it will bring peace and democracy to the ME is a bonus.

  • I am sorry about that, every day I am here and I alwais listen how important the war is, and alwais is from an americam why???

    THE WAR PROPAGANDA GET YOU!!! NOW DANCE WITH THE SOND OF YOUR MONEY MAKING GUNS.

  • flagged by progressives as "offensive".

  • Thirty two thousand views, not bad, not bad at all.

    God bless the boys and girls on the line each and every day.

  • Wow. Beautiful.

  • a beautiful and moving tribute, thank you from the bottom of this army mother's heart.

  • Great vid and a brilliant song, thanks for sharing it.

  • good tune!

  • Please top peddling this tired Homeless Vet nonsense. Statistics do not support that claim. The percentage of homeless who are veterans of military service is proportionate to the percentage of citizens who served in the military.

    So...please, before you continue this silly preaching about History...learn the facts first.

  • you are sad, people.

  • A moving and great piece of work. Thanks for sharing it.

  • you know, its people like this who give young folks a bad name. Don't you have a shred of decency in your whole body?

    If you can't say anything nice keep your yob shut.

  • I know history you stupid Git and you'd BE history if I met you face to face. You suck big time.

  • Bring the Boys and Girls back home so they can hang out with thier family ?

  • scratch61 posts "Bring the Boys and Girls back home so they can hang out with thier family ?"

    They ARE hanging out with their family. That was the whole point of the video.

    p.s. Learn to spell for Pete's sake, you are 45 years old already!

  • god bless america

  • I loved the video and the song. Is the song available on cd? Or DVD? Check out my videos for PATRIOTBLUESTAR

  • Thank you.

  • Great Video, the haters just never had friends before. They don't understand that these people do what their ordered and are the bravest among us.
