  • Aw this was a really good interview! Why don't you post the full vid? D:

    The only problem I had was hearing what he was saying, I'm not used to listening to old people talk. Other than that he seems like such a nice guy, funny even! Haha. I think old people are so cuutee with all their wrinkles and what not. :D

  • @xsmiley94 I have posted the whole video now.

  • When I was in the Army, I used to LOVE it when id run into an old talkative vet at the VA hospital. I broke my knee in a dirt bike accident and spent ALOT of time at the VAH. These guys would freely tell their amazing stories to some young soldiers and you could tell that they were just itching for an excuse to get away. I never did understand that. personally, I find this stuff incredible to hear and of immeasurable value. God, I could listen to my grandpa for hours.

  • @joshiesworld The full thing is up now.

  • @samechazwres9311 I have done so now.

  • @RedlipstickGool This is why I have my comments set to display only if approved. Sometimes people make idiotic remarks and I don't want that.

  • I'm hoping to do some similar interviews with my local VA. Great stuff!

  • @AKMauldin Same way you uploaded this video. Before YouTube only limited 10 minutes, now they don't limit anymore as they gives everyone unlimited storage/minutes to upload, which that means you can upload 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or so hours of video.
