@yogifalkmybitch hmmm let's see i guess a thoroughbred... if you're talking about dogs and not people. you are literally the stupidest person i have ever come across. i love reading your comments because i imagine some drooling idiot with a speech impediment raving and spitting out irrational sentence fragments. someone needs to throw a net over you and put you in a zoo or circus. you will make a lot of children happy just giving them the opportunity to throw peanuts at you.
@berserker276 Sorry to disappoint you Old Boy I have been checking up on Blue on Blue statistics for The American Army What a Joke you People are As a nation of fighting people your right there alongside The Swiss Oh and by the way old bean Its ARSE HOLE
@mulehunter1 "tried" to kill himself in the 60's not after the war and he served in Korea too. Well if you think he's a coward be my guest it's your opinion I'm just putting the fact straight it's on wikipedia lol search it up.
im from holland near Eindhoven :) thank those guys :) in my opinion the germans are real heroes to everyone earns respect they were in the same hell to and nog every german was bad :) Hitler was..
Awe he died?! its sad seeing the WWII Vets died, my neighbor just died and he was on the first wave in Okinawa, i would randomly tell me about it. Wish id aid a bit more attention.
i respect that view"Angels will welcome you in Heaven and all you friends too!!!" but remeber he killed people i belive that the germeans were nt evil just the ss so lets not be proud that he killed people but that he severed for his country R.I.P
@TheTobproductions Of course he killed people. Hell we wouldn't be sitting here commenting on videos like these if the allies didn't kill people. I don't think all Germans were evil also but I don't think to critize Shifty on anything but give him the biggest respect and wish him a safe journey above!
towards the end of the war shifty didn't have enough points to go back to the states but he won a lottery that was held and on the way to the airport his car crashed he was taking to the hospital and died three months later
wow. i meant to say sgt. forrest guth was the one who died, i was thinking of shifty while i typed this. I have all the respect for these men of easy co.
He did not die. He was in one of the interviews. He did get in a car accident and spent many months recuperating in hospitals overseas while his comrades in arms arrived home long before he did.
60 plus years since he's probably fired one, and unless it's just coincidental, the man still fired it in bursts. That's fire discipline, and If that's the case then that is amazing. God bless you, Shifty.
Yeah he`s a legend. All those who fought in the WW2 are true heroes in my eyes. The sacrifice those men did, can`t be praised enough. They should always be remembered, and in doing so, they will live forever.
oh and ss1e3 ur name sounds like ur a fuckin nazi and they are lowest ppl on this earth they have theories that are backed only by there racial hatred
i dont believe everything i see on the news and shit. and i must say that because of band of brothers easy company get alot more respect and attention but there are ppl like me who want to go to war just for the buzz basically even tho wars seem to be fought for politicians with nothing better to do but then again ppl in the past like hitler and saddam needed t be taken away from power.
I was already proud enought to serve in the paras, and years later when I read Stephen Ambrose's "Band of brothers" I was even more pumped up.By the time the serie came out, I only could imagine what these man went through to liberate Europe from nazi opression.Please to these and to eachother show some respect.
Im pretty sure some memory's just flew thru his head both good and bad. This is a man that deserves honor and respect. I'm a vet myself but honestly not even in the same league as this man. I'll be lucky enough that when I am at his age that I can take a crap without help from someone.
Truly a great man along with all the other men he fought with. And as for you Marines talking shit about him, you can take a slow transport ship back to the US while you beat off your Navy buddies.
yes i do, because all veterans deserve to be treated like gods. calling us asswipes for just sticking up for one, then gloating about your connection to a 'unit' yeah asswipe. EVERY veteran deserves respect
cool cause i just did my 6 months of active duty which qualifies me as a veteran. not war veteran, that'll be after next year I hope.
calling grunts "Gods and heroes" pisses us off. and to be honest we need no respect from anyone cause none of u were there with us in the mud. we only seek each others respect.
a civilian is too corrupt to understand what we're all about.
so sucker..you just need to shut up now...you say: i hope to be a war veteran..WTF!?you think was is cool??nobody wants to be in a war..and helpin people is something else than a war...war is wrong
A civilian is too corrupt huh? Thank you for fighting, but you are the most arragant man in the war. People like you make me sick. I had a dream of being in the airforce when I was a little kid, I'm only 16 right now, I was in the process of pre signing my life over for it. I was diagnosed with a heart murmer when I was 14, I can't do what I wanted to do with my life. And thats fly a plane any plane for the us. Because the g forces would tear the 3 centemeter hole in my heart apart killing me.
I never talked about politics man, Theres no use in politics in my life. The only thing that could be tied in with it would be the us not excepting me because of my heart condition. I may not live in said jungle, but I live life to the fullest. I notice all the small shit because dude, I could die any day, any time right now and not do shit with my life. Thats why I do everything through, not being able to be in the airforce made me sick. Because its really the only thing I haven't done through.
I live life to the fullest because this is the only shot I have at it. I try not to get down on myself because I couldn't be in them military, because it wasn't all my fault. I was born dead and died twice on the table. And that didn't help my heart. But the only thing that pisses me off is that the docters didn't find this sooner. Because it really crushed me. But now i'm not so worried about it, maybe I can help my country in another way.
When youre denied the thing that everyone runs from. Hell, alot of us literally pray for a decent fight when we go over there, so we can prove to our fathers and grandfathers that we're worth something.
But we cant even get that. I dont agree with the word "serve", you serve people at a restaurant, we volunteered to find out the truth about ourselves and fight
Thats true man, you don't serve the country. You serve yourself, striving to be the best. You went to help yourself and your brothers to prove that your the best.
Yes he is fairly well known in the military. If you shoot incredibly well at a military range, the instructor might say: "You're good, but you ain't no Shifty Powers."
actually even though shifty was a grest shot then, he traded the rifle he was using because of a pit in the barrel and he says he couldn't hit anything with the new one
Shifty loves shooting. I've shot guns with him before. I bought a brand new M4A3 4 months ago and I promised Shifty the very first shot from it. Can't wait!!
You can tell he wasn't very thrilled to fire that weapon. You know it gave him flashbacks...I think people want to much of veterans. But it isn't their fault, they just do not really understand...
