  • wow

  • thank yu a lot

  • Comment removed

  • @Microglia1 You sack of shit

  • @Microglia1 trolololololol

  • At my Granddad’s funeral last year I drew the short straw & got the job of researching & delivering a eulogy.

    I couldn’t be bothered, so just made up a load of stuff about his brave actions on D-Day & in France/Holland in the following months- I got most of it from the plot of the first ‘Medal of Honour’.

    It went down brilliantly- but it got written up in the local press & now some angry Veterans groups are onto me for ‘undue honours’. Why can’t they just let it rest, it was 65yrs ago!?

  • @SuperTruth77 what an asshole you are

  • Aww...He is so cute. Good Presentation.

  • USA didn't join WW2 until Japan attacked them. This proves what the world already knows USA only cares about people from USA. If you're from somewhere other then the USA your less then dirt. Thank you to the brave countries like Australia and Canada that were far from Europe but still came for no other reason than it was the right thing. The world sees every human beings life as valuable the USA only sees American lives as valuable.

  • Let me guess - Brit or Canadian? you people have always been extremely jealous of America,the only reason Canada and Australia went to WWII was because America went - if we didnt go they would not have,pussy Royal fags that could never fight a war on their own. Give the American military 2 weeks and we will have 70 states - pansy ass canadian

  • @UltMitSinner78

    Who are you to say when American men and women should send their own souls, risking death to protect other countries? Especially when many people at the time didn't think Germany and Japan were American affairs.

    I bet you are the first person to complain about America "policing the world and meddling in everyone's affairs." Only when it fits your anti-american agenda of course.

  • @ altoids....

    which one is the evil the great usa whiich is in war since over 60 years wich over a douzend countrys??? i dont think so you are the devil on earth realize this my friend you are on the wrong side!!!

  • Great work!

  • what does that do with what we just said?

    youre saying that a CHILD is more behaved, more important, and better than old people.

    sure, we should protect them from harm so they can live a good life, but what about the wwii veterans and other older people? do we just forget about them and not even care? i think not.

  • i dont see old people fighting and backtalking their parents.

    are you.. stupid?

  • what stories can a kid tell you?

    about the funny thing that happened in math class?

  • respect !!!

  • i respect all the vertans of all sides

  • Yes the Japanese soldiers deserve respect. They were kicking our asses up and down. The only way we stopped them was from the decision to toss a nuke.

  • zweg2. that's not quite true. Not true at all in fact

  • @zweg2 incorrect. The Japanese were beaten. The nukes just shortened the war.

  • so u respect the nazis?and iraqi?and the japanese who attaced us?and the people who attacked america?i respect the gern ww1 soldiers and all who fought in ww1 jus ww2 as a real battle between good and evil

  • @altoids79762 well the only reason Japan attacked us is beacuse we cut there oil supply

  • Lessons from the Great Patriotic War taught us cohesion and unity in the fight against modern threats. . Only together, bringing together the entire international community, we will be able to effectively eliminate counter terrorism, discrimination, national and religious intolerance, any attempt to rehabilitate hateful ideas. . We owe it to you - heroes-winners Veterans !

  • love old people wayy more important than kids

  • yeah they teach us history and good values but soon thos men are going to e gone and we have to pass down there moralles and values

  • true patriot

  • DUDE YOU ROCK YOUR A HERO IN MY BOOK! :D

  • Well, he is in a rocking chair.

  • WINNNERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRr

  • respect

  • Its people like you sir that make the world a wonderful place. Your heroics can not be rightly justified. The best thing any man can ever do is risk his life for his country. Thank you!

  • i love old people their so sweet.

  • respect mon!

  • Wow, I wish I had gotten some of my grandfather's stories before he died at 96. He was in the Easter Rising in Ireland.

    Thank you for these videos :)

  • Thank you sir. Your a hereo. I appreciate what you've done to make USA a better place. I am the generation you fought for. THANK YOU.

  • Very good video

  • awesome

  • From one veteran to another, thank you for sharing your story and thank you for your service to our country. Take care...

  • its not japan thats the evil one, its the nazi keep that in mind that htey influenced them to start attacking so on... many countrys over WWII bacame nazi like japan, china, of corse germany, argentina, and many more but any ways... this man is amazing

  • Incorrect, Japan was fascist before they were allies with the Nazis. As was Italy. The majority of China was of the Nationalist party, which was supported by the allies.

  • What a awesome man.

  • I hope to know as much as you one day, sir.

  • Sir, this simple video of yours destroys all the propaganda films and staged stories made by evil crooks among us about what really happend in the past, just like a candle of light illuminates all the darkness. Gentlemen like you are the people who make everyone truly respect America. Congratulation, sir. I salute from bottom of my heart as a Japanese.

  • Ah, a treat to see a Veteran of WWII...Thank's to YOU for our FREEDOM!!!!

  • i have great respect for all WW2 vet's, they were prepeared to die for there country for our genaration.

    great to see a helthy WW2 vet able to speak and tell us all bout it :D

  • I won the Graywolf Nonfiction Prize for a book that will be published next February about my uncle, an MP in the 8th Army Stockade in Nakano in 1946. Did you have any contact with that prison?

  • 5 stars!

    I love Japan, just thought i'd throw it out their.

  • I smiled the whole way through:)

  • this is great, abso great, thx for your valuour sir, so I can sit in this fake leather chair , thinking how great I am, when in reality, relitivly speaking, I know absolutly nothing. Salute

  • what battles did you fight at?

  • I regret the terribly fratricidal and avoidable war that occured in europe that resulted in the butchering of the best men of our countries, still I stand in awe of the bravery and valour these men exhibited.

  • Wow, this is great. Thank you so much for posting this up. I don't know if you are dirrectly involved with the elderly gent, but if so, please tell him I said "thank you for your time."

  • ww2 vets are dying so if you know any talk to them and write it down before there all gone.

  • I wished I could talk to my grandfather...He was in WWII, korea, and Vietnam.He also won a purple heart.I miss him cause he passed when I was 5 but I still remember him talkin to me all time along with holding me.He gave me great 1st memories.

  • My great grandfather fought in both world wars and i never had the honour to know him. This man is a hero and it is because of men like this that we are free today. Thank you sir

  • My grandfather was in WWII, served under General Patten in the 5th armored Division. Even many years after the war, It was still hard for him to talk about it. He did on an occasion. I can't even began to imagine the scar it left him with, but one thing I do know he was one of many great men, that history should never forget. Not just Americans, But Allied Nations as well, and so I thank sir for my freedom that I enjoy today. May Peace be with you always.

  • Ty. People how do you think - who won the ww2?

  • USSR and China Communist

    Communist was won

    USA,British,French was Lose

    Of course, Japan and NAZI losed

  • Japan is still Japanese.

  • thank you for sharing

  • Thank you for letting us know about your experiences during the war.

  • Thank you for posting this video. My dad was in WW1 and WW2. He served time in the Phillapines. He actually was Ronald Reagan's Captain at one time. It's very interesting to hear about your life and experiences!

  • i hope you live on to tell your story

  • Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. I've created a clip on WW2 Air Raid Precaution tobacco cards that includes an animation of Winston Churchill.

  • Hello Mr Loken

    First off i would like to say thank you not just for these great videos but also for inspiring me to look into my grandfather's war record. I didn't get to know him i was too young but he also served in the Australian army in New Guinea. I hope to look up his records at the Canberra War Memorial.

    Again Thank you.

  • You look good for 94 hope to see you at 130.Thanks for saving America.God bless the USA.

  • Slowly catching up with the 'old' videos still.. they are so interesting!!

  • war has never solved anything! well except , slavery , communism, the holocaust.

  • Well I know for a fast that God approves of war.

  • omfg! have u EVER read the bible!?!?!?! God DOES NOT! approve of war, fool!

  • I have read the bible. What kind of ruddy bible do you read?

  • smarty, he was in the army in Japan...wow pay attention to the video

  • hes old dumbass

  • plz do not use disrespectful language over this video for it may be rude to the host of the video it is he and others that defended our coutrys and you need to show respect when it is due thank you

  • Unfortunately, it is human nature to fight and there will always be war and violence. I don't want to disrespect your beliefs, but I believe war is the right solution when the time is right.

  • I do as well. Just the fact that they run from reallity and use the "peace" excuse. That won't solve anything.

  • There is no such thing as peace or pure freedom. There is no place on this earth that is perfect. Welcome to real life.

  • I do not like the fact that the Americans droped the A bomb on Japan,but Japans' troops were cruel. They slaughtered many inocent Chinese civilians. The slaughter I felt was a bit of carma for Japan.

  • That is so true! Nearly everyone in this generation is weak and pathetic, I hate the 21st century.

  • Man you are easy to fool if you beleive that from a comedy t.v. show. Comedy isn't serious most of the time. The Japanese are not like that or believe that.

  • God bless you Sir, you will be missed. Thank you for sharing your history with 'us kids'. I hope to meet you on the other side some time...but not yet.

  • This strong poor man has died hope yea know that. and he will be missed

  • Hi, I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. I've created a clip of a WW2 battleship trading card set. It is rumoured that Hitler purchased this set for his U-boat personnel.

  • Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it, but it's sad that in almost every Youtube-video there are negative, insulting comments. It's people like Bullfrog & Alenegre who create a negative atmosphere on great websites like this. Bullfrog, if you want to correct someone who 'tries to be intelligent', why do you have to insult him? Calling him a 'European faggot' is just ignorant. I'd feel insulted if I didn't know you don't know better ...

  • Zionism is an international political movement that supports a homeland for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel. Why dont you learn what are saying before you try to sound intelligent, you useless european faggot.

  • That was copied and pasted from wikipedia.

  • Thanks for sharing your experiences, greatly appreciated :)

  • There are even WWI veterans alive today.40 are left all in all.7 americans.Since they are rapidly dying about 60-70 every year since 1998 and they are all over 105,who knows how long there will be WWI vets left.

  • I will be so upset when the last of the ww1 men pass away.Five of my great uncles died in ww1.

  • as of now, there is 3 ww1 marine veterans left

  • My VFW hall has dollar beers on the weekdays, so we usually go up there and bullshit with the veterans. Hear stories about people fucking Korean/Vietnamese up. Never get anybody from WW2 though.

  • Thank you sir for sharing your experiences....We all appreciate you.

  • Interesting insight into an era. Thank you for your service and sharing your experiances.

  • Thanks very much

    Realy Apriciated

  • GOD Bless you, I would love to know how i could get more information about what our elder think about the world and what do you think we should do about it... I am a believer that our elder know best in what we need to do with our future...

    Blessings..

  • I agree strongly. When we truly learn from our elders, we can create a better world. When we ignore their advise, we make terrible mistakes.

  • Hey! Did you kill any Krauts?

  • WELL ODNE FOR DOING THIS THANKYOU

  • You are one of the reasons I created an account here despite having nothing to put on it, just so I could have the ability to comment. :)

    I can't thank you enough for sharing your stories with us--it's thanks to people like you that we can continue to have accurate, 'human' snapshots of past events. You're obviously made of some pretty stout stuff.

    BTW, I've never had that kind of ice-cream, but seriously, it does sound kind of disgusting. :\ Way to soldier through.

  • "Aww yes the fire bombings.... You do know we had to win. sorry lol"

    Yes like the growing American casualties in Iraq, makes you feel as if the Iraqis don't want you there from the beginning or is it just my imagination?

  • "Aww yes the fire bombings.... You do know we had to win. sorry lol"

    Yes like the American casualties in Iraq, the numbers seems to have come as a shock to many Americans. So let me explain to you meek people; you see when an army invades and occupies another country without provocation, the populace of that country tends to 'resist' [ri-zist]. I think you can take it from here.

  • I love eating dolphins, and am grateful to the noble Japanese people for their continued slaughter of these ugly beasts. I will continue to eat dolphins, kill any I come across, and support their killing until their entire species is wiped off the face of the planet.

  • And the MORON I make note of is gorillazbuffalo in case there was any confusion on that.

  • Forget the actors/musicians and athletes...this man and all those like him are the only true HEROS! We should thank them every day for all they gave and what they represent to this country.

  • i feel bad for him that he is in those macines but he looks like a nice guy id cry if he dies idk y great video doh

  • to be able to talk about past experiences like that, i havent watched the other vids but, some people are SO traumatized to even think about it. i also like how the mans able to recall it! my memory sucks!

  • Im thankful to hear such great stories :)

  • Blahblahblah poopface

  • turkey fight in the korea too only because of the usa they want us too there is a word 'Peace in the country peace in the world' said Mustafa Kemal ATATURK but we have to go to the war because of your president try not to attack to everyone and stop killing the muslims please they are inonncent kill the terorists only

  • I like how he discribes the bath houses.

  • As an Airforce Veteran, there can be no greater leaders than those who were in WWII

  • BSIDE do the guy in the video a favor & shut up

  • Do you think Americans show dolphins and whales more respect? We treat them like stupid toys and the only reason we keep them around is because they entertain us. (Sea World)

  • i am truly grateful for Mr. Loken and his willingness to share his stories.

  • These are great. Please make as many as you can. Thank you!

  • :( God bless him Thank you Sir

  • I loved watching this :)

  • So the Japanese are an endangered species that eats other endangered species?

    Secondly, I'd be a little more sensative about how you post things like this. Are you trying to stop senseless slaughtering of animals, or are you just trying to find reasons for people to hate the Japanese?

  • Thank you for your service.

  • hey rainbowwarrior go blow up a fucking fast food restaurant.

  • thank you so much for everything god bless

  • well arent you a trooper

  • My grandad was in the WW2 aswell, he fought with America in the Australian army.

  • glad to see you well sir, it was my pleasure to have heard of your story, God bless you, live well, sir

  • Real men - Real Americans- Thank you!Its our privlege to have quality content like this on youtube.

  • A lot of stuff has come ot of Japan that Americans love. The Japanese have a very rich culture and history.

    Our soldiers should be honored. I will never support war, but I will never be against the people who are fighting in it.

  • From a 23 year old SSG in the Army God Bless you sir it was a much different time for service members than it is now. I salute you

  • Please, do not say stuff like that. Not all Japanese people are bad. =(

    I'm not saying Fuck off Americans too!! YEAHH!! Now am I? ^_^; Only a few people are bad. And don't forget, for both countries it was a bad experience. War is never a good solution for 2 countries to agree with each other. D=

    <3 Peace on earth.

  • how disrespectfull and childish....im expecting your a 5 year old that got hold of his parents computer and thinks he is funny.

  • It dosen't matter if you fight like men if you still lose the war, and the ONLY rule in war is THAT THERE IS NO OTHER RULES! Use what ever means necisary to despose of the enemy. The ends justify the means. None the less you still lost the war so stop crying. And I thank elderly man for fighting for us.
