The Hidden Perspective - pt. 2 - Roll of the Dice *Viewer Discretion Advised*

If you join the military at 18, you can drink before 21.

Catherine DeWitt

Isn't it ironic that an 18 year old high school dropout aren't allowed to drink a beer, but there's no problem with deploying them to the most dangerous places in the world. BTW. I'm not promoting alcohol for anyone, just think it's odd, that lawmakers are pushing the notion that 18 yrs old are cognitive and emotionally ready to go into war zones. We know that some will suffer from PTSD and the consequences are devastating. Some will suffer in solitarity and retreat from family and friends, while others end up killing innocent people, because they see them as a threat. New Year's Eve and the 4th of July are probably the worst days for an army veteran with PTSD. Some statistics from Denmark; 9,6 % of danish soldiers, that were deployed to Afghanistan with *ISAF team 7 in 2009, had high levels of PTSD symptoms 2,5 years after coming back home and 4 years later, the number had increased to 13,7 %. *ISAF (International Security Assistance Force)

Part 3 plssss

Part 3 please (2/20/22)

brainwashed army

Part 3 please

part 3

Part 3 Jim pretty please.

Christ. I know Hasan pinned you as more right-wing, Jim. But I can tell from this series you're far from that. We should not be sending troops to meddle in foreign affairs just to lose their lives. Human life > Oil profits.

So basically the way Trump used the military was the most ethical.

Its the small hats who deploy Americans to defeat their enemies all around Israel. And make them richer. Notice how Israel never seems to deploy with us, even though they're our "greatest ally". They aren't spilling Chosen blood for shit. They get richer, more powerful, we die and look like idiots as they laugh at the goyim

Please continue this series. It's amazingly well-done and insightful.

Dead Heroes

Maybe you Typed or copied a space by mistake, the password worked for me

Password is wrong, please fix

tried to watch this, kept saying the password below was inaccurate

Amazing. Ty. True yet still very respectful and honorable. I truly appreciate our armed forces.

Part 3 please!

You really think Youtube will allow this ?! I agree tho it would be great to get more eyeballs on videos like these but seeing someone getting a headshot just wont be allowed on any platform.

Please put this up on youtube

Seconded

please please please make a part 3 in relation to recent events.

Shane Simpson

Same here! Teared up a bit even. This hits hard with whats going on right now

Rie pie

Ending gave me chills man

@Lucas Brown The US has 5,800 nukes... no one is invading the US. Or any other superpower for that matter. It's all pantomime for what the video refers to - money. There is no need for a mass number of foot soldiers (outside of special forces) with respect to national security. That's what the video was saying, and it's correct. Coming from a former rifleman, the video does not come across anti-military either. It's more anti-establishment.

our military has by far been the most aggressive than any other country's in the past 50 years

Neil it just isnt worth it. They are incredibly naive people that do not understand how real life works. Russia, China, North Korea, and a few others are constantly watching and waiting. If our military were to just disappear suddenly we all would shortly after. Anyone with a quarter of a brain who understands the way things work knows this. We have a strong military and all of these powerful weapons to make sure other countries know if they do anything then they will have hell to pay for it. If we didnt have that threat we would all be screwed.

So you think countries just sit around and plot on taking over other superpowers instead of focusing on there economic progressions , well being of their people and innovations for generations to come? You’re a moron. Spending more than every other country on a military force and then calling people that disagree “stupid” is ironic.

This is hard to watch with family in the military (royal marine's), makes me fear the real dangers they could face. it is thoughts like this that make me doubt if I would join myself.

Well lets just start with the main 3 reasons. Russia, China, North Korea. If your Military were to shut down this weekend, within a month we would be taken over. Its a lot like why we have so many Nukes. They are bad things for sure, something i hope never has to be used. But without them, without having them as a threat, then we automatically loose. Without the threat of a power military this country would fall within weeks. Now you can hate and talk all the crap you want about the wars we have been in. I have heard all the stupid arguments before. Regardless if you agree with them or not, out Military is still 100% necessary.

how exactly would you cease to exist without your military invading other countries on the other side of the planet?

Please do more of these combat type of videos, incredible work!

I do agree that people join strictly because of commercials and advertising. But i can also guarantee that many people join the military knowing the dangers and the BS with our government. I am also very grateful the for our military because without them America would cease to exist very very quickly.

Can i ask how you figure its some of the worst on the planet?

The dude at the end preaching about his God "calling us to war" was absolutely disgusting. The process of indoctrination the US Military puts its people through is some of the most despicable on the planet. They fight these terrorist religious groups acting as if they're any better. It makes me sick to my stomach, literally.

That would be so epic. What more could they talk about?

not sure how often you check this but i'd love to see more military psychology or even military criminal psychology on the main channel at some point.

Superb evaluation. I used to recruit for the Royal Marines and out of the 10 candidates that were passed by me to attend the potential recruits course, 8 would pass. The usual ratio (from the Royal Naval recruiters) was 25 sent with 12 passing for entry. I was naive to assume that this would be looked upon as efficient but it was frowned upon because they needed meat for the sausage machine. It was all about the numbers. My approach was about managing the young man's expectations. We will never know how effective my approach was, as no follow up research has been carried out. Excellent stuff. Keep it up.

what ever happened to his SOG series did it disappear?

When Jim said American politics are about divide and control, I felt that.

this really made me....just so emotional. i am vehemently anti-war. this drives me absolutely crazy to watch people die like this. i dont know what to say. i hope ill never live their experience. its a genuine tragedy they did in the first place. i hope he's somewhere peaceful now

RIP lance corporal Watson

I hate war and everything around it. Like there isn't enough death in the world, let's kill these young men instead of giving them the opportunity and proper education. And the PTSD that comes after war..The one video with Andy B. (war PSTD ) made me cry.

Thank you for this- My parents are both in the CAF. My father has severed in Afghanistan twice and deployed elsewhere with US Navy through NATO. I have so much respect for the women, men and trans folx who have and continue to serve. No one joins the military is not scared or affected in some way; including the families of serving members. This is video was hard to watch but necessary. Thank you JCS.

Why do you go after seeing this documentary ?

Huge fan of your material JCS, please keep doing this series.

honorable men and women**

One thing I hate about these wars is how little consideration is given to casualties that aren't American or coalition forces. You get this constant barrage of the image of the heroic American soldier who fell in battle but rarely ever an account of god knows how many other non-Americans died, and needlessly I might add. Vietnam is probably the most tragic example. Do people even know how many Vietnamese died? And quite needlessly, as has been made clear over time, the war being activated over a lie just as the war in Iraq was. The controversy and lie becoming so heavy that even the politicians engaged in it come to believe their own lies. I'm not one to spit on the returning veterans, but I'm sorry 99% of wars are based on lies and are total BS. 9/11 was a Godsend excuse, not a reason as they portray. If you take the time to really analyze things closely it's clear what a bunch of hogwash all these post-ww2 wars have been, especially the ones that are least reported on. The situation in Central America in the 80's was the next worst thing after S.E. Asia, and another situation that would not have been possible without the U.S. government and/or it's affiliate agencies.

I don't think there is anything I could hate more than war..

your videos about war, and the other three-parter above where you cover SOG, have been some of the most ambitious and interesting material so far. thank you for covering such a difficult topic - both in the sense of being difficult to talk about properly, but even just difficult to cover in general considering the secrecy behind what goes on in battlefields.

please continue the series

Senior drill instructors speech is pretty cool. A minute after that though shit gets crazy. First time most will ever get screamed at by adults, its jarring the first few times. Its amazing how you go this is going to be awesome as your listening to that, to what the fuck did i do. 3 more months of this shit, no way. That mistake thought everyone gets, luckily it goes away in a few weeks.

This hits hard

This is a good series, hard to watch. But it shows the reality few will ever see. Keep up the good work

You really like capital letters, huh?!

No wonder the third thing was bugging me: there were only two things! "If you're considering joining the armed forces and in particular the infantry, don't do it for the manufactured concepts of patriotism and glory. Do it for the two things you are actually guaranteed: adventure and brotherhood."

In one of the two Hidden Perspective videos, he says something like "Don't join the military to serve your country. You won't get that. You will get three things... brotherhood, adventure, and..." I can't remember what the three things were, or which video it was in. I don't have the emotional constitution to rewatch both videos in full. Can anyone give me a pointer?

This one brought me to the brink of tears.

War is Hell

Is that a commercial for a Call of Duty game or the Marines?

I really tried but it was too much for me

Fantastic

Wow

WOW

Or rather “Wanna get paid for being the arrogant dickhead you really are?” Apply here!

I would appreciate more content like this, thanks.

last podcast on the left is like a sillier version of this

Yes please continue series

Do you guys know of any other Patreon podcasts like this? :)

The Ryan Waller case was heartbreaking and infuriating. Very difficult to watch. RIP, Ryan.

Getting a raw look into modern warfare has been fascinating, I hope there will be a Part 3. Everyone should watch this before joining the military.

Drill Instructors Job Description: Want to loose your Voice in just 6 weeks? Apply here!

There is a difference between maintaining a standing army with the intention of homeland defence, and building a professional army with the intention of exploiting political & economic interests. The former is to be lauded, the latter is arguably one of the greatest evils in the world. Soldiers in such an army are not merely keeping their eye on the forest; they are burning parts of the forest, for reasons they do not understand and do not care to, actively driving the wolves towards your green pasture.

Peter Kelly

Whether you agree with the methods behind military recruitment or not, a standing army is a standing nation. A 1st world nation might be like a grassy meadow. When all we see is a green pasture and blue sky, it's easy to forget about the wolves that lurk in the forest beyond the meadow. I describe this idea not to generate fear for those in the meadow, rather to encourage the continued awareness of the wolves and how dark the woods can be... chimneys and railroad tracks come to mind. Encouraged by propaganda or not, the Soldiers who choose to enlist in my country's Army are the ones who keep their eye on the forest. Those of us fortunate to stay in the meadow should be nothing less than constantly grateful for 1. The reality that they don't have to be a Soldier if they don't want to 2. The reality that someone else did 3. The notion that their nation state is so well off and protected that it's citizens might freely object to this reality 4. That they are alive in a time and place where all the above conditions are satisfied. Here's to munching on the grass, and minding my side of the fence.

Yes 100% continue this series!

I'm a 17 year old, recently over the last week debating what i should do with my life as i have barely any qualifications due to anxiety and depression throughout school so often missed classes, days and over a year worth at one point. I'm an extremely intelligent young man and do extremely well in school when i would attend, I'm from the united kingdom and i'm Autistic, i would of most likely requested to join the armed forces but being diagnosed with autism is an instant denial and i thank god it is, i would of fallen the never ending rabbit hole, the hell of serving in the armed forces, the pain my family would go through and worry about, the potential for PTSD, losing friends, suicide rates and and so forth. Seeing your comment makes me realise people went through this and im glad i wont be able to become one of those people, Thanks.

This series is Amazing! Most People are not aware of the Wealthy Elites Control of the Masses, and how they use the Military's of the World and Divisive Propaganda to Divide all Groups of people only to Swell their Wealth and Power. I Sencerly Hope this Series Never ends. Perhaps even put one or two of these Episodes on YouTube? More people need to know they Live in a Plutocracy and they need to know just how powerful and Dominating it is Throughout the World.

Please continue with this work! Gripping from start to finish.

Fantastic content. Jim, please keep making it!

I really love this series and can't wait for more. I'm a medical student in Australia wanting to become a trauma surgeon and for a long time I've really wanted to (once I'm fully qualified) do a tour to help how I can. I really hope to see a part 3 of this series soon! It really paints a true picture of the sheer horror that goes along with being in a situation like these.

I was one of those youngsters sucked in by the propaganda and then spent 24 years "serving" the ungrateful. Keep it up with this series if you haven't already done so. It is extremely poignant, relevant, and well done...and I wish every 16 and 17-year old could see it before they make the leap, which is all too often uninformed.

This was fantastic, I'd love to see part 3.

Please do continue with this series.

Holy hell. I spent 4 months at that base. My blood ran cold as soon as I read ‘FOB Alcatraz’

yea im gonna need that part 3, this is too powerful

Would love part 3!!!!

Yes, I have been waiting for a part 3 for so long. Going to watch these again today since it has been a while since I last watched them

Will there be a part 3? This is incredible content. Everyone should see the true face of war.

Sadly this is the world we live in, evil always existed and always will, its up to you to define it, whether it is those warmonger jihadis who preach death or rich elites looking to expand their wealth, either way it is a perfect setting for innocent people to get radicalized and join a terrorist group, or for innocent citizens to get drunk on the "fight for freedom" kool-aid and die for a loss cause.

Absolutely fascinating. Would love to see more. Part 1 is lower down the page a bit, btw.

Thank you for making this. I would definitely watch more of this reality for the soldiers at war.

Stel

Where’s part 1?

Ian Pung

Absolutely continue this series. It is phenomenal.

Harrowing footage. Would love to see a series.

Please continue with this series

Please continue with this!!

more of this!

Martin Sutti

This series is simply incredible man. Hope it keeps going, so helpful and important to see things like this

Please continue this series! It is such an important topic.

These are always so hard to watch, but necessary to truly know what goes on in a world we will never have to know hopefully. I truly feel for these young men, and I know most of their intentions are pure... it's just so sad to see what the political forces force strangers to do to one another to push their political agenda forward, while simultaneously treating veterans with little to no respect when they are back home...

Forgot to sensor the name at 23:18

This should absolutely continue as a series.

This NEEDS another episode at least. It's vital and eye-opening.

wow. The end was heart breaking. There is so much wrong being done in this world and I hope combat veterans can find their peace after their service. What would make this feel more worth it is if the money made through these wars went to the american citizens who need it to survive and improving the lives of every american (especially veterans who have served in the past and lost their semblance of physical and mental stability, we must provide mandatory rehabilitation and therapy as well as monthly payments to every veteran or, if they pass, their families) and not just the extremely-wealthy few. I have always admired military though I would never sign up myself because I don't believe to sacrifice my life in that way. I chose instead to become a hospice nurse and help those pass through to the other side. I hope all who die in combat are able to be carried through bliss in this other dimension we know as death. I hope veterans fight for the freedom from their PTSD in the same way they fought on the battlefield. God rest Lance's soul.

I am a Disabled Combat Veteran Who did two tours in OIF. Coming back with all these injury's we all got from being hit by IEDs. Combat Vets cope in Different ways. Like TBI/PTSD some people would not want to watch stuff like this. But for me this was good for me Because Jim takes his time and puts a lot of physiological input on these videos but he has lost of compassion and focuses on the real evidence. (sorry for the bad grammar)

As a veteran of the senseless and ongoing war in Afghanistan thank you so much for your sobering and real portrayal of the horrors of war. EVERY young man should have to watch this before making the decision to sign their life away to their government.

Please continue the series! Emotionally wrenching but eye opening.

Part 3 please!!!!

Wow. Absolutely chilling, heartbreaking, and enraging.

God damn this is by far the best war documentary series ever created. You guys are so fucking talented in telling a compelling story. I love everything you do and I will never stop supporting you.

Wojciech Tolsdorf

This is the first time I see actual footage from the recent wars. It's very hard to watch esp the pt.1 . Since these videos aren't supposed to be released (I think that's what he said on part one) I wonder how they found this footage

Wow. This series is extremely interesting. Please make more!

Scroll down and you´ll find it.

Just joined Patreon and this channel - how do I find Part 1 of this video?

Part two was even more rough for me. Yikes.

Gregory B Dietz

I'm from the Netherlands, and I would like to give these guys my deepest condolences for their losses, and thank them for their service to the world.

Omg man 😥

Mike Gray

Absolutely.

Agreed

No_me_digas

There's nothing political about stating the facts as to why our country is in perpetual war.

It tore my heart out when the soldiers were holding onto the wounded man and knew he was dying.... how horrific. how sad.

Great great series. Something that needs to be done. We need to see this and know this stuff.

This series is so so so good.

Love this stuff would love to see a series

After going to a local fair, meeting soldiers, seeing the tanks & helicopters my 8yr old daughter said she wanted to join the army. I didn't know what to say. She came home from school the following Monday, her teacher had asked "What do you want to do when you are older?" She told her she wanted to be a soldier because she could protect people & it looked like an exciting job. Her teacher had pauses, smiled and said, "That's an honorable idea. Just choose very carefully who you fight for." Teacher nailed it.

Beelicious

I like the true crime, this military/political stuff is not great.

This is extremely eye-opening. Please continue this series.

If your religion calls for the death of a human being, do start w yourself!

I cannot begin to comprehend the concept of war, it tears at my heart. I hope all those souls lost in war rest in peace, and the ones to join them too. I hope for world peace, as fucking "stupid" and unrealistic it may sound. I wish that day comes, I do. Thanks for the videos Jim, you truly have opened my eyes up to the extremities of the human race and have made me appreciate life more. Seriously, thank you.

I'm sorry for the families loss in war. if we had better people in the world there wouldn't be as much death. I wish the best for all.

O Also my first and only patreon. Keep this series going. And all the other content as well. Just keep doing what you're doing. Lol

these war body cams are fascinating, would love a part 3... or 300🤣

Haili Devillier

Awesome series, definitely keep this going!

Please do more of these!

I've watched a lot of fucked up shit in my time but watching that soilder dying made me feel sick.

This was fucking awesome! So glad I subscribed.

Jenny Mirsky

These are good work Jim. Please continue

Please keep making this series!!

Please continue to make this series. The truth is damning.

this is terrific. please don't stop with this series

there will be NO justice or NO peace until all the warmongers and war profiteers are hung high to swing in the wind...

please do more of these, this is brilliant, And thank you

As someone who served in the Marines, I can attest to the fact that we loved our Navy corpsman and we always watch out for that guy. Thanks for serving and the war profiteers will continue to find ways to send us off to fight without having Congress declare an act of war.

Jim Frost

Thank you for your service and for posting that Dr

I was a 3rd year medical student when the body counts I read and watched became too high. I couldn’t in good conscious keep going to college parties or listen to people(faculty included) on campus belittle the people serving. I put my career on hold, joined the Navy and became a combat medic. I should’ve stayed in school and joined after because 18 Delta(military’s advanced combat medicine program) can be just as long and just as intense. On too many occasions the only help I could offer was my hand and making sure they weren’t alone at the end. I visited with many of their families. Especially the ones who I was alone with. Many asked me to relay final words and I kept that promise. War is ugly, and until we change the people directing us to war we will continue to lose so many young men.

I need more of this series. So thankful for these men and women. They do something I can admit I don’t have the balls to do. To witness tragedy like that and keep your composure is remarkable to me. I can’t even imagine life as a soldier.

Zach

It would most likely be taken down on Youtube

Please more

Absolutely heartbreaking but immensely enlightening material. Thanks for your work!

Definitely want to see more of this

Craig Wippich

Awesome series. All this for $1 thats damn good value for money. This is my first and only patreon. Make more like this please!

This series should be required viewing in schools. Please post these on Youtube

thank you for bringing the harsh truths of warfare and the corruption of the US military to light, please continue this series

casper grey adam

PLEASE, JIM!

toddog45

please do more of these

Jack

I cannot find words to describe how powerful and how moving these 2 films are. As hard as they are to watch, they should be compulsory viewing

I went through JROTC and ended up getting an interview in high school to go to the Air Force academy. I broke down and told the guy I couldn't go through with it. I come from a military family and they set me on the path to try to get me to become an officer. They bought the whole honor facade and completely ignored my strong presentations of depression and anxiety, refused to take me to a professional to get them diagnosed. I don't know what part of me was screaming to end that interview that day but I'm still thankful I did. I've met many former service members since who have had their lives torn apart from physical and psychological injuries. I have a great respect for them but also a great pity. I know I wouldn't have made it as far as they did and I lament that they had to experience those things. I would like to see this series continue if you are able to do so.

Can you make this available on Youtube? I'd like to share this.

Those commercials seems like a commercial for a military simulation game. lol It looks pretty awesome too.

This is a very high school level comment. I fully support every member of the armed forces, and the way I do that is by voting for politicians who are less likely to enter into unnecessary aggressions. Just because you don’t like the system doesn’t mean you need to disrespect the soldiers within that system- there are a LOT of reasons why people join the military.

Joi

There's no honor in being manipulated into dying for another man's wallet. My heart breaks for everyone who gets turned into a tin soldier, fighting wars for politicians who treat them like no more than a game of monopoly.

God bless them all

I spent 3.5 years as an Active Duty Infantryman with the 101st Airborne Division and spent Feb 2010 to Feb 2011 in Paktika Province and I can not argue with any of this there are minor things I could nit pick at but really nothing worth mentioning. The war time footage and scenarios that were laid out were very familiar to me. I have been that guy in the truck looking for a weapon after we ran over a bomb. These two hidden perspective videos are extremely well done and the reason I subbed was to see them. I would love to see more videos Involving Military affairs especially crime that takes place among service members. Great work Jim C. Swim I don't know who you are or what your background is but you do very good work.

part three please!!!! ^__^

WW?

powerful

I think this work is very important. Most people have no idea of the reality of the armed forces. Please continue and hold nothing back.

I think we all agree that one thing needs to be said. Vimeo is the worst...why do they still exist?

Robert

Please keep continue this series. Excellent expose, heartbreaking to watch.

Keep these coming, Jim. They're better than the murderers and police investigations to be perfectly honest.

definitely continue this one, good work Jim.

Shane

This was awesome man. Regarding the last clip there, it demonstrates that they will use death as a propaganda tool.

where is part 1

Please make more.. The world needs to see it

Can you please put this on youtube? People MUST know the truth!

I want to say not to cont it, but if I did, it'd be for selfish reasons bc it's hard to watch &uncomfortableto confront... which prob means you SHOULD cont it. I find the other content more "enjoyable"/fascinating, but this one opened my eyes, &effected me, more.

Very good don't get me wrong, but I'd say focus on the regular theme rather than this. That's what we signed up for. Or if you continue with this, go deeper into the psychology next time. There's some in here but it's very minimal.

Well this is heavy...

It is very tough to watch this sort of thing, but I feel it's important for us to see the reality of war, not just the propaganda we are shown in NFL commercials. I'm not sure how you guys get this footage, but please continue the series.

It's tough to watch but also a good thing to see. I would like to see this series continue

definitely continue

continue

plz cpntenue

Please continue this series !

Please continue this series thank you. Your description of the military are complete facts

Please continue this series !!!!

Please. Make more of this series, many will disagree but it is such a relevant topic espedcially since it looks like the world is heading towards a senseless war in the Middle East while the veterans from the still fresh Iraq nightmare are suffering in silence.

Im also another fellow non combat service member. I would agree with about 90% of what you have to say except Ive definitely noticed the comradery or brotherhood once I have been out. Especially if a acquaintance finds out your a fellow service member and they are too, it dramatically changes the relationship, most of the time.

No I have seen enough but love the good work you are doing in contributing to the truth that this is a propaganda war, a political war where the call to nationalism is used to manipulate people. So sorry for the suffering these soldiers endure when the whole thing is about politics and power and not about "saving the world"., so sad.

A lil too much footage for the amount of commentary. I appreciated the commentary, though.

Please continue this series :)

make more of these. refreshing.

Pls make it a series, it's why I'm here lmao

Brute90x

this is my favorite series yet, please do make more

Please make more. I Patreon because of the clips you showed on youtube of this. God bless you for all you do.

Yes please please please continue with this series! Best quali Ive seen

Great quality as always. Absolutely continues these war related ones!

I really like these videos. I hope you do continue these as a series.

A very interesting series! I would also request to continue it, if possible.

No, you're not wrong -- the military should be an option for those who wish to pursue it, including impressionable and at-risk youth. The problem is that most 18-year-olds are not at risk. They have options, including college, technical school or job training, gap year, the workforce, etc. And yes, the military is one of those options. But they should have access to the most accurate and most thorough information on each option. JCS's point is that they don't get that -- or anything even close to it -- when it comes to the military. They're plied with slick marketing campaigns stressing patriotism, honor and sacrifice -- authorized by political leaders who, ironically, have little regard for any of those ideals, and could care less about the men and women they're trying to recruit. Just look at how our disabled veterans are treated by the VA. They’re sold a bill of goods and when they’re been used up and spit out by the government, they’re given sub-standard care -- if they’re lucky -- instead of the kind of treatment those who served should get.

hearing them praise god at the end....acting like this life lost was somehow worth because of gods will.... sad.

Please continue this series if at all possible. Fascinating stuff!

Definitely continue, this series is very good

Not trying to be an insufferable nag Jimmy Boi, but I’m dying for a part 3. I’m a new Patreon and I’ve been absolutely devouring your content. Thanks for the opportunity! $1 is a steal 💕💕

Halfway through, and I am unsure where you stand. My entire American born fa,ily, myself included, has had military training, My Father aUSMC G.Sgt. (saw two tours of Vietnam) and then, my Grandfather, was on Normandy June 6t, where he survived to go back to Korea. I undertand your message commenting on the soldiers, the 'glamorization' and such that the military puts out to offer kids a future where if they have a choice of being a bad ass on the street, to taking some lessons, and getting a career from doing it for the army, or..what have you. People are going to be violent and have that urge to kill regardless, as that ia a whole other social problem nobody has figured out yet, and never will. Some folks are just wired like that. So? If they are young, and going the wrong way, what is the matter with guiding them in another more productive, scholastic, and financially beneficial to both parties. I do not see anything wrong in making the military an option for young impressionable and at risk youth. Am I wrong?

NUMBER 3!!!!!

Continue 1000%

I have 3 sons please don't stop making these

"Blood Makes the Green Grass Grow" by author Johnny Rico is an awesome book about the war in Afghanistan if you haven't read it I highly recommend it.

just got out of the Navy after a 6 year enlistment, was lucky enough to never have to go through what tons of my fellow service members have, watching the unfortunate truth of service unfold on video tends to make me feel guilty and proud at the same time. Strange feeling, please keep making these videos, I agree with everything you're saying here and have seen a lot of it firsthand, people need to know what they're getting themselves into

I thought the same but for some reason the part on info is below this one just click on the title for the part 2 and it's a link

well made video, interesting stuff.

BonBon

I do agree that you should continue the series. I myself at an early age wanted to join the Military. I would never have lasted. These men & women are so brave. I can't fathom what they go through and see in war. I think we go on with our daily lives knowing this is happening for the price of resources and money. That our government is corrupt and not only are our people put in danger for the sake of a dollar but do are innocent people where the wars are take place.

So sad... I looked up Lance Corporal Watson the Marine who died at the end in the Honor the Fallen website. He was only 21yrs of age. God Rest his Soul.

Please continue the series!

Please continue to explore this type of content

Incredible- does the pope shit in the woods? Yes, please continue the series!

Interesting, but it's more or less what Paul Verhoeven already showed in his 1997 film "Starship Troopers" --which has become the most eerily prescient movie in modern history.

Journalists/war correspondents and the soldiers themselves make sure the footage gets out because of how important it is that the world sees it.

Playdoh

Great

Jens Temberg

i love these man

Thought provoking and heart breaking.

I absolutely loved this. Please make more content like this!

Really nice episode, really interesting to see the American (critical) perspective on war and armed forces. Myself living in a smaller European nation that still uses conscription, having gone through all that and being placed in high rediness reserves, my perspective on the military and the reasons and the reality of serving in one, differ from the one shown in the video. I know that I wouldn't be thrown overseas to fight for oil but to defend my own country against outer agressor. I "hope" (not that I wish war, more that I wish for the current ones to end) that those serving in the American armed forces could experience it more the way I do, not the way they do it now. But in the end money is what dictates, luckily we are too poor to participate in the war on terrorism on any larger scale. Anyways keep on with the series, seeing the reality of war is a good 'reality check' for me too

I think you should do more. These are great. Not too heavy. You also warn about graphic content in enough time. The warning gives your brain enough time to know something is coming to either fast forward or mentally prepare yourself. While some visuals were graphic they weren't so bad. Tolerable. I didn't have to turn away and plug my ears like I usually do when others get injured. Those men lived because of the hard working medics on scene.

Do more!

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Please continue this series.

Nqui

Powerful and thought provoking

and god bless them

Keep up this series!

I think you missed one cut during the service at the end.

Nothing wrong with this series, you have a censored ones for a reason. Its troubling to watch, but I'd rather understand something this serious. It's a very good series.

Jack

Be careful JCS you are going to upset the Elite if you keep speaking too much truth. I hope you have the best tech security and protection money can buy. Love your work. MB

Semper Fi...

Truth Erupted

please do more of these, so interesting

Look, I didn't serve and can't serve but I think this was a fair illustration for those who have/do. Thank you for this. It's raw, yeah, but it's real.

forgot to mute the name at a certain point (not timestamping so people don't go looking for it)

Bobby Donald

This series continuation is a must. I can't begin to explain the significance of this learning experience to my view on life and war.

Sadly , the ''impressionability '' is easy to find when you have a young boy . A lot of soldiers join the army extremely young .

Annie Robichaud

I joined because I found your content on YouTube, and wished to see more of your work. This project hooked me in, and I cannot wait to see more.

Please do more.

That was in the first episode.

Hey I watched this twice and it was different the second time? what happened to the story of the brave Arab special forces man who somehow survived that ied and now works in the government? I wanted to watch it again and get more details about it because I thought it was one of the best ways to portray the horrors of war but that whole storyline totally disappeared from the video! What the heck

More eps??

Bless that A&A solider at the end, I would happily donate to him if I can? I'm normally unaffected by the horror visuals of war, but hearing him breathing throughout that torment - disturbing.

you simply must continue this series

Ben Deroy

Is there a Vimeo link for the second part? Both bring you back to the first part.

The Hidden Perspective is the perfect title for this series, I'd like to learn more.

Alyssa Gohlke

Continue. I can’t bring myself to watch yet because it is so emotional and upsetting to me, but it’s such important work and I fully intend to get there

Elena

JCS this is an amazing series. Please make more.

Soldiers think that they die protecting their country and their people. But in reality they are dying so that some rich guy can get a few more points increse in his stocks.

So poignant to end with that disgusting religious drivel diatribe the US Military calls a 'eulogy' How do they not realize they're just blindly using religious in the same way the Taliban do?

Not My Real Name

Thanks for sharing. Useful because I write about shadow wars. Absolutely appalling. https://www.thedailybeast.com/big-game-us-soldiers-secret-hunt-for-jihadists-in-a-kenyan-forest

You forgot to edit out one mention of the soldier’s name at the end who died. RIP

Good stuff JCS

Yes please continue this

I have no idea how you got your hands on such raw footage, given how closely guarded it is from civilians. The horrors, tragedy & trauma these young men endure in combat is absolutely heartbreaking, & the unwavering courage they exhibit is awe inspiring. I wish every young man sat through this series before signing up, because it would have made brainwashing them into becoming perfect little tin soldiers & pawns in a capitalist scheme near impossible.

Man I cried so bad at the end

Definitely keep this series up, it is quite fascinating to see. The anxiety of watching these clips gives you a tiny glimpse into how it must be to be out there every single day. I can't even imagine being that courageous and strong-willed. It's quite admirable. Regardless of how you feel about the war effort, you've got to admire these soldiers for their ability to deal with this kind of stress.

Andrew Parmeter

God this is one of the best documentary type videos I've enjoyed in a long while

yes you should continue this series.

I reeeeeallly wanna watch part 2 😩

Password kct727 doesn’t work, it says that it’s invalid

Thank you for this. "He is either going home a hero, or he's going home in a box"

Fantastic and horrible perspective into the realities of war. More people need to see this. Thank you for your hard work in creating this.

War is hell ☮

The second video made me so sick to my stomach. My dad served for 25+ years. He was there at the beginning of the war on terror. It’s heartbreaking to think of so many lives lost for a cause many did not understand.

Erin Ceja

Please keep making more.

Sean Manogue

Not the place for you to be spouting your religious beliefs here yellow. No need to try and argue with people who don't care.

Samuel Martial

Part 2 when the priest says the mission God has called them to.. it's not right.. if there is a God I doubt he would want us killing each other. War is horrible. I just wish that people's greed wouldn't control the world as much as it does, but that seems implausible. Rest in peace, all fallen soldiers.

Not sure If you or someone else respectfully muted the two mentions of the deceased soldier’s name, there is a third mention of his last name not muted shortly after the second mute (toward the end). Thx

Absolutely.

This series is amazing.. please keep it up! you're the only reason I joined patreon and I can't imagine another creator making content that is good enough that I will pay for it like I do yours :)

CAN'T WAIT FOR PART 3!!!!!!!!

this is such an amazing series.. i hope to see more soon! thanks jim!

A very powerful video, thanks for the upload. Just wanted to point out that you missed a redaction at the very end.

Password is in the description. gar818

this is one of the most poignant and eye-opening series i've ever seen, especially given that you and your team are independent creators. please continue this series, jim and co.!

Why can't I watch this video. I paid like everyone else. it is asking for my password and keeps saying something went wrong.

This should DEFINITELY continue as the series. It's way too important and people need to see it.

Hello Jim. Is there a way you could start a series revealing the world's elite? Whenever I try doing it I get banned on social media almost immediately, I don't have the resources and I just don't know how to go about it. Just know that your mild mentions and implications do not go unnoticed.

As long as the alternative is flipping burgers, if your folks haven’t money for a college degree, the army might seem like a good one, but as long as people don’t know the real truth (ei. THE HIDDEN PERSPECTIVE part 1) it’s both cruel, unfair and lack of morale to send young kids to war. Just my humble opinion!

kiu (aka kirstine)

Please keep making this series

A great series keep up the good work

Why is there a password on this video??

Are you telling me that these 'Global elite' politions are intentionally dragging the war on.

james

Man, but if those poor guys didn't volunteer, they'd be fuckin' drafting people left and right. And maybe for that we have to thank them, for sacrificing their lives so that others don't have to for the benefit and profit of the warmongering elites...

I’m sure that’ll go well

insane video. presentation and explanation of the issues was 10/10 as usual. many of the points highlighted in this video reverberate with ideas that were already lurking in my head about the reality of warfare

Never say thank you for your service, say sorry for your brainwash

It's the password in the description

I'm just asking because you are the most recent comment I can see, did your have to put a password in to watch this? When I click play, vimeo asks for a password , it's not my patreon password.

Why is vimeo asking for a password to watch?

Please keep this series going Jim

I know, I realized that too! Crazy

Holy shit at 9:52. That guy was killed by Delta Force today, who literally come in at the next frame of this video. CRazY.

fuck the war

Btw I thought this was so concise and briliant that I pause play transcribed much of it verbatim for historical record and content shares. I felt the message is that important. Thank you Jim. "It's not difficult to see why military marketing is incredibly successful. It is bestrewn with the concept of honor and the so-called "noble cause" when in reality you will only be essential to a political agenda with the sole purpose of expanding the power of a small group of people you will never know or meet and who would not give you a second thought if you were to die in the process of fighting for their prosperity." "There is evil in the world, no doubt about it. And there is an unmistakeable need for the modern day soldier, yet the political agenda is far more concentrated on monetary gain as opposed to eradicating evil and that's just the cold, hard truth." "If the primary purpose of overseas operations were what the US military claims; being the eradication of terror and the liberation of the oppressesed, then far more resources would be spent in the realm of special forces rather than conventional military." "In the context of terorrism, the most successful way of stopping a larger problem is by aiming at the source; often, the leader and each of the major culprits. A special forces operator is able to eliminate high value targets with minimal risk to civilian life." "The surgical formula of which special operators detect, surveil and eliminate targets allows them to operate without the support of overly consumptrive fire power, yet the retraction and the use of such weaponry means the reduction of profit for all those shares in the global arms trade. The special forces although essential to national security, are inessential to the global elite." "Setting aside the highly lucrative business of dropping bombs on populated cities, special forces units, due to their limited size, are unable to occupy large areas of territory for extended periods of time. This would mean that the mining of a countries natural resources would no longer be a possibility. Without a greater, conventional force to encompass and secure the areas of the mineral fields, the extraction of the minerals would be an insurmountable task and the profitability in the last three decades of American warfare would be nullified." "When you strip away the melodramatic smoke and mirrors of political marketing, this is the sole purpose for the modern day conventional military. Profit." "If you're considering joining the armed forces and in particular the infantry, don't do it for the manufactured concepts of patriotism and glory, do it for the two things you are actually guaranteed: The first of which is adventure..." "The second thing you are guaranteed is brotherhood and you will learn that brotherhood has no prerequisites to race, religion or any other element that is used in politics to divide and control." "Ambitions and incentives for joining the armed forces vary from one person to the next, yet it is undeniable that a large majority do so as a result of the ingenius and manipulative marketing strategies of Western politics." "An abundance of young men continue to pursue a deep-seated need to be honored and respected that is built within us all to varying degrees, yet this pursuit comes with a risk and a potential cost. It is essentially a roll of the dice whether the soldier is coming back a valiant hero to be given a medal or in a box, the medal pinned to his chest before being lowered into the ground."

Jonathan Berman

Imagine actually recommending your son go fight and die for the interests of transnational oil conglomerates under the guise of 'patriotism'. Nationalism and therefore, war, will never end because of these talking sheep

Id love to see more of this stuff :)

I remember seeing the Royal Marines Commandos advert at the cinema and on television for a number of months. I am doubtful that they intended to attract more applicants by telling the truth. I'd speculate that this advert was an attempt to deter casual applications and attract a higher quality candidate. I really enjoyed the other insights of the video though - looking forward to seeing more in this series.

Yes, please keep the series going. People need to see this.

A fantastic video and series, definitely keep it going!

great video (as usual) and everything shown is true - but it's only this simple if you look back 30 years and no further. if you look back 70 or 100 *all* Americans (and their allies) have benefited from the security and prosperity afforded by Pax Americana - the rich for sure but even the poorest. there are also some strategic and geopolitical reasons why Americans might want to have a large military - those reasons require looking back at least a century to Wilson and ww1 (if not further) and not just today's "war" on terror - otherwise there's a risk of history doing its repeating itself shtick. not to say military industrial complex not corrupt money grab - but it's not only that. best not to through the baby out with the bathwater.

I’m pretty young and there has never been a time in my life when the US hasn’t been involved in some sort of armed conflict. That’s honestly just insane to even think about.

Tragic loss of life for that young man at the end.

I really enjoy this series. You have an intelligent insight.

Well, I guess you warned us.

This is really insightful. Thank you.

Sickening. Hard to watch.

Omg. Petr Fuka Idk why I missed that. Thank you!

The password is in the description of the video here on Patreon, right under the title.

MarvinCZ

It wont let me watch either of these?! Keeps asking for password and then saying there was a problem? Im new here, anyone know why the hell this is happening with only the hidden perspective vids?

This is a great series, looking forward to more.

I love this series! Aside from possible death and assured accolades - there is also a great opportunity for career in the military - is there not? I hear they pay for college if you put your time in. As just a civilian nurse I've known quite a few (very well off) commercial pilots who are retired Air Force. A few ex fighter pilots, WW2 and Vietnam vets as well. I've also worked with a nurse from the Army who was BAD ASS and taught me a LOT. I'm forever in awe and enamored by our military. God bless the USA!

oh yeah, Gods that kinda guy. Flag wavin, bomb droppin, red blooded american son ova bitch.

Peggy Thomas Executive Director PUFFER CORPS

I think you missed the whole point of the video

Keep it going Jim!

There is no doubt that with everything you’ve explained aside these men and women are and will always be real life superheroes

Yes, keep this series going. I appreciate the different perspective you provide, a perspective that is kept purposefully unapparent.

Came to the comments exactly for this it's at 23:17

peetezaah

These are great! Keep them coming!

Jimmy, you didn't bleep the name of the soldier that passed away the third time it was said. Just a heads up.

Goddamnit Larry

Fuck me, this is top notch documentary. Hope you get to do more stuff other then just interrogations, because you clearly have all it takes to put up good narratives behind video material.

Thought Police and Spies

Great series, keep it up!

These should be REQUIRED viewing by ALL humans on this planet... this is what this dimension is all about. Perhaps one day, we as a civilization, will evolve.

I really liked this one. I found part one quite difficult to watch as it was so graphic. I almost didn't watch part two because I thought it would be too much for me, but I think this was very tastefully done. Not that part one wasn't well put together, I just found it too harrowing. Hats off to the courageous men and women who were actually there giving their all for their country. Lest we forget.

you want more uploads? PAY THE MAN. And I don't mean a few bucks, I mean enough to live on. Until then, quit whining. This content far outweighs the amount being charged. The insight is astounding.

Hey Jim, I love your content and think your insight into police interrogation and the other topics you cover are very valuable to tons of folk however if its possible to get a more consistent upload schedule. I literally check your youtube and patreons weekly for uploads. I noticed 3 in july, 1 in august, and i think 2 since then. do you have a upload schedule? or is it just when you have the chance?

can you breathe? count to 10 for me. Occlusive dressing. Try taking a deep breath. Cant? Ok. 9 line. Can you walk? No. Shit. Ok. its fucking 5k away to the RP. we gotta walk man. lets go.

I'm so upset that I caught up on all your content and now have to wait for more. Love your stuff!

Same here!

Sally Violet

I have been checking multiple times a day, every day, for a new video haha. Jim, you’ve created a monster! Thank you!

Never mind,I'm an idiot..it was right above it,lol. Thanks Jim! Loving this shit!

Nathan Williams

It wont let me click on part 2 (oct 2 ) No link to video only link to part 1 And only the password for part 1 works for it.

Nathan Williams

I feel you dude.

Yo Mr. Black! What are you doin here my dude? Love your work! Been subscribed and listening to your productions for two years now 😆

The infusion of the American army and religion has never quite sat well with me.

corvdb1992 .

I was wondering how JCS's videos would sit with people in the army. I wonder how many of them share your positive appreciation.

corvdb1992 .

Rather, that through force one would somehow convince the others of the superiority of your position, is a ludicrous notion. If yours truly is the superior position, then trust the viability of your position and engage with those whose cultures are supposedly inferior. If they like what they see, they'll slowly adapt and adopt it to their liking. But put a gun to their heads... and you'll just show them reasons to believe your culture is awful, as the only side they get to see, is the side that brings them misery. I genuinely think personal freedoms, equality etc. are actually morally superior concepts regardless of where you live and when you live. However, people must experience them in order to see why they are.

corvdb1992 .

Ok. Its been two weeks, and I'm once again getting massive JCS withdrawal symptoms.

MSau

Ah man. Just. Wow.

MrBlackPasta

I am so glad I joined your patreon.

jim help i finished midterms and need some dopamine from your videos

how do i watch the vids previewed on ur utube page from the beginning of the videos. your titles are too general I cant find which ones I want to watch

You just made the best argument for us to create Universal Super Soldiers. They would be the ideal economy of force, but they would generate the least profit

SkipperGS

This series has to be my favorite. Thank you so much for this

Dorothy Nelson

Love these types of videos

Amazing video man

I love this series, thanks JCS.

This and the IED video are my favorites, it's such and interesting watch.

Your content is unbelievable. Just keep it slow and steady and quality over quantity. Grats to the whole JCS team, who I know is at least 2 people ;p.

If I’m being honest, you’re only going to get bigger so why should you stop now; if anything you should post more 🤷‍♂️

Jim, you must be experiencing a major freak out having suddenly become so popular to us true crime fanatics! Your videos were something special, and we noticed. I can’t think of any others videos like yours that have the same quality. And as a Patreon artist myself, I’m betting that you’re just over the moon with how much $$$ you’re making from it! And that’s not meant to south tacky on my end hopefully. You deserve the success. It’s hard to earn good money and I’m so glad you’re living the dream. The other day I looked and you had just around 18,000 members. Today it’s over 20,000. You must be thrilled!

Listen to Lisa

Its the bitter truth, rest in peace to that LC.

I agree 100%

If this is the kind of content you're moving towards, would you consider uploading your more traditional content as well? Love your work, but since the uploads are only twice a month it is a bit disappointing to miss an upload for this kind of thing.

More of this series please.

If he did what would the topics be?! I think it's pretty much done with since he pleaded guilty and had his sentencing

Not appropriate.

are you going to do part 5 of the chris watts case ?

Jacob Meghnagi

:( thank you, soldiers...

we need part 3 asap.

Thank you for the effort you put into these videos. If you do another part for this series it would be greatly appreciated by all of us.

Why are we still in Afghanistan?

vanceknoll

The U.S. Has Been At War 222 Out of 239 Years. history won't see our flag like we see it. that much I'm sure of.

Mike Joe

Oops, caps

JIM, CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ON SAMUEL LITTLE?

I'm from a country with a mandatory army recruitment at 18, I'll be honest, I hated serving in the army, 3 years of my life taken away because of conflict and politics, but the US still army seems way harsher and I feel so bad for those soldiers

It is brutal as shit but we need to see this. Keep making and releasing them please.

Robert K

Very good video. I watch a hell of a lot of historical videos, usually of conflicts over the centuries. The common denominator is all of them are battles on behalf of the Elites greed, paranoia, ambition, desires, hatred, etc.

And that is the problem with patriotism (which is basically just nationalism in disguise anyway); The idea that one country (or way of life) is inherently superior to another is a dangerous yet extremely effective tool with which to manipulate public sentiment and justify actions that would otherwise be considered abhorrent, All in the name of some archaic, manufactured concept of ~national identity~ which is ultimately rooted in our collective fear of "the other". But it sure comes in handy when convincing the next wave of cannon fodder to play their part in the West's Endless Wars.

It's one dollar tho

Seriously jaw dropping series. Can’t get enough of your content. You’re gonna keep getting my $3/ month FOREVA

Mir Berthelot

This is such a great series. I hope you continue these war videos and increase the frequency of them! I'm hooked on all your content!

Did someone say code pt. 3? Nice!

No, it was not.

As a combat veteran myself (SEAL Team 1 IA K9 handler,) I really appreciate you putting these things into perspective. I was so obsessed with gaining the title and the honor/respect (I enlisted at 18,) but had no idea what I was really in for. Keep this going, man.

A real good interview is the one where James Holmes is being interrogated by the psychiatrist appointed to him. Its a series of interviews with the infamous Batman movie theatre killer, it would make a interesting video to discuss by Jim can’t swim.

I think it's important to make these videos, and the quality of your work is amazing, but I couldn't watch it. Too sensitive, I guess.

Amazing amazing work as always

Jerkylegslol

I love these military/war/political videos. They're great and terrifying at the same time. Please go on

Rest in Peace young Lance Corporal.

Applaud what you say about war and joining the military. I hope as many young people as possible watch this.....the war is not ours, it’s chasing a political agenda none of any of us know much about....... everyone needs to focus on their own happiness and peace of mind, not by fighting someone else’s fight. Have a lot of respect for these soldiers, very sad that many have either lost their lives or are very damaged and traumatized through being in combat situations..... this is indeed the reality of war. 😔

Thanks Jim for another great video!

I like this a lot. Please continue this series!

Cecilia

Amazing and tragic, something everybody should see

Amazing

Press F to Pay Respects

a powerful, compelling, and emotional video.

peachbeaches

Yes please continue.

No need to censor. Censorship is unamerican.

Yes!!!

You forgot a censor at 23:17. Thanks for all the videos!

More of this please Jim.

Please continue this as a series J!

I would love for this series to continue, very informative although hard to view, but nonetheless I enjoy it.

Heartbreaking

To Lance Corporal Watson's family, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

12:00 Yes! Well done my Aussie brother!!

"Bestrewn". Brilliant. +10 internets for using that word. =D

Truly compelling stuff.

Continue the series

Michael Browning

Definitely continue this series!

As written above you missed bleeping the lance corporal's name once

more of this pls guys. It's eye-opening and thought-provoking stuff, So glad to pay for this kind of content.

I don’t think it’d be allowed on YouTube

Saint Vayu

Please continue this series. This is a fascinating take on the military and military-industrial complex that the vast majority of people have no comprehension of. You are doing extremely important work.

I don't support the Military but I give all my respect to the people that serve in it. The End kind of put me in my feels. Thanks Jim for another good video. These perspective should not be hidden.

This series is really harrowing and yet brilliant. Would definitely love to see a part 3.

Diesel

It's here on the patreon its called "the hidden perspective: invisble enemy" just below most compelling policen interrogations 10.

LCpl W's name was not blanked out the last time it was said, in case you want to fix it.

Lance B

This says part 2...but I don't see part 1????

Ashlee Turner

been waiting for this. should be aired on tv for everybody to watch.

kiu (aka kirstine)

To those asking to make it public please recognize that Youtube will at least demonetize the video and it may not even be allowed on youtube.

It's amazing how you're able to describe what the soldiers are doing and why they're doing it.

More of this and the prison videos would be awesome!

I would ask that you make this series public, at least after a certain period of time.

CONTINUE definitely.

i enjoy this series as well as all of your content. Keep up the great work JCS :)

PLEASE continue thiis series, Jim! this is something far more unique than the grrreat interrogation analysis videos could ever be, tbh. i am positive i am not alone in saying that this is more interesting and eye-opening than watching psycho- and sociopaths, especially if you've been a psychology buf for the last 5-25years. "the hidden perspective" is something that can't be found anywhere else imho. brilliant work on both parts! can not wait 'till part3 (please keep going!)

These are really fascinating and I thoroughly hope you keep making them, Jim. Thank you!

these army vids are the best

Were you forced to watch it for 30 minutes? Piss off

UURGGGHHHH MAKE IT PUBLIC PLEEEASE!!!!! It's so crucial that people see this shit!!!!!

Just brilliant, more of this please.

joined a few days ago just for this. I would be very hapy if you continue this series

Continue please.

Yes please continue this series. Its important

Worth noting that most of the actual threats the US (and by extension NATO and it's allies) were directly created by US and western foreign policy over the last 60 years. SOF wouldn't need to kill the leaders of these groups if we hadn't armed, funded and trained them in the first place to accomplish destabilization, installing US-friendly regimes... which are usually just as, if not more brutal and totalitarian than our "official enemies" at any given time.

Playdoh

WOW I had no idea your videos went into this territory when I subbed, absolutely excellent Jim.

Playdoh

did the soldier shot in the chest 'Zulu" survive?

Pointless loss of life for the elite. Only ever fight for your family, friends, wife, husband, father, mother, children. Never for faceless politicians. Poor, poor young guys.

I agree. 100%

Jim you are the only reason I have Patreon. Much love from Sweden, you're doing a great job.

Riveting. There's no end to the wars they have planned for us, keep making this stuff so more people have a chance to see the truth of things!

This was hard shit but eye-opening. Keep up the work

I do enjoy these as they are an interesting and welcome break from the interrogations, however, I find these depressing. So many lives lost by brave people with the best of intentions, all for a profit machine that will not spend one second honouring or remembering them. To what end?

Siobhan Blue

Thanks for this series Jim. Keep it up.

Thanks for making some hard-hitting shit. Keep on it.

Someone is considered seriously wounded when the injuries are of such severity that person is rendered unable to walk or sit, thereby requiring a litter for movement and evacuation. As you can see, he can still walk which means he is not seriously wounded.

Heartbreaking

2:06 "He has a broken collarbone, dislocated shoulder, 3 broken ribs and severe internal bleeding" 2:50 "No soldiers were seriously wounded" WTF!?!? But the "impressionability" trait is why I ultimately failed as a soldier - I had 2 separate enlistments - each for a different reason and each to serve my self-interests at the time. First, I went infantry airborne and volunteered as a Ranger so I got to satisfy my urge for "adventure" then I volunteered to go to Korea so I could experience other places and meet some interesting people. THen I got out and went to college. But after 2 years got bored so went back in. Was sent to invade Panama and then Iraq while in the 82nd Airborne and afterwards realized my wanderlust was sated and I was no longer interested in military so I acted out and got let go with a general discharge. Never looked back.

I just pledged a little while ago and I'm really happy about it. This series is pretty cool too! :)

I DEMAND IT FOR 1 DOLLAR !!!

JIM, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ON LAURA ANN PALMER !!!!!

Please continue this series. Stellar content, per usual.

These videos are fantastic and a nice difference to the interrogation videos (which are equally good). I'd love to see more content like this.

yee more of this

Great content as always. Please continue!

I agree completely with Nenas, while I watched this I found myself skipping around a fair bit which doesn't happen with any of the true crime pieces you do!

Travis Redpath

This is reality unfortunately. Thank you for the video. I find this series very informative, please keep doing these.

man that was some powerful stuff. amazing content as always

Ali Garrett Guneken

Ameen😔😭

Mary Ali

Hard to watch but greatly informative and explanatory. Keep it up jim!

These are extremely good, please keep them coming.

keep them coming, please

When´s part 3? Great series... Keep it coming... Most people can´t deal with reality and that makes em mad... Hence all these negative comments...

Jim is the only reason I have a patreon. Keep it up!!

Keep these videos coming. I'm really shocked at the negative comments, those people need to head back to true crime podcasts or get a life. This is so diverse and yet so educational. Thanks

This series is great and stokes the conscious. Don't listen to the comments at ALL.

I appreciate these videos!

No disrespect or anything but the reason I subbed to your Patreon and YT channel is bc of your true crime videos. I do like these in between videos as long as it doesn't take away from you working on truth crime videos. Although I like watching these videos, honestly it doesn't hold my attention the way your other videos do. I say this with the upmost respect. I just don't understand it.

I come from a long line of Air Force service members, and my husband is also Air Force. I always push myself to watch things like this so I know what's out there, and what could be out there for the people I love. My husband is in medical, and my heart really went out to those men helping that soldier. They did right by him. Rest in peace Franklin Watson.

Usually I get a notification that a new video came out. I'm surprised I didn't get one this time

These videos are so terrifying and yet so necessary. I really believe everyone should watch them. Even those who plan to have nothing to do with the military need to see the reality that people go through. Some of these videos are literal nightmares, and the bravery these men display is astounding.

The one directly below the title of the video.

why can I not view the video, what password?

Painful but important to watch. Hard to process this information but morally imperative to struggle to find something good that can result from seeing instead of avoiding this awful reality.

This series is very important to me, there’s no other content so factual and raw and I feel like I have a lot of friends who need to see this before making a decision based on a high school JROTC military class. Thank you again

Awesome awesome awesome please keep it up I absolutely love this series!

Hard to watch, but I'm so glad I did. Thank you for this series. Incredible content, as usual.

More of this series please!

Was the last guy Marine Lance Cpl. Franklin N. Watson? His name should be remembered.

To earn honor and respect one must honor and respect life, not work to exploit the earth for the rich or kill other humans for profit. The potential of these young men is squandered on such endeavors. They could do so much more as protectors, rather than soldiers.

so true.

This makes me so angry. They're exploiting the strong, impressionable youth and putting them in extreme danger to fuel their own political agenda. These heroic soldiers are putting their lives on the line for a government that could give 2 shits about them. The people waging these wars are watching the chaos unfold while they're sitting in their cushy chairs and expensive suits sending their fellow man off to die. Put those fuckers on the front lines and see how long this shit lasts.

this one is incredible. do continue if possible

andcircuit

Keep the reality cheques coming

That's the stupidest thing I I've heard in a long time.

So far, this series has rendered me speechless and deeply reflective of the war engine our country maintains. You have done an incredible job being both critical of the hypocrisies and lies spread by that engine, while still remaining completely respectful to those who are in combat. All while providing us with a clear and barely filtered, albeit brief, visual look into their reality, something that I think is almost never seen by the average American. Thank you Jim, really!

Kyle Crozier

Do continue this series. It’s good to see an analytical viewpoint not normally seen, just blindly accepted, followed and revered. Many times invoking God.

Yes, continue please

Deception, division, politics. The foundation and legacy of the United States. And what are we in this? Consumers. Consumers of propaganda, consumers of deception. To the benefit of the few. At the cost of the many.

This makes me wonder how my father survived 11 active deployments. It shows me a peek behind the curtain of what he endured and continues to struggle with to this day. His "training" has given him no outlet to turn to, because he believes in the mission. For him the mission, even though he is retired, has not ended.

Hands down some of the best fucking content on the internet. Every. Single. Video.

Outstanding and troubling. When you comment on society and politics I feel like you can help change the world

Yes, please continue this as a series.

I look forward to Part 3, this is a rough reality to see. I almost get scared that Jim would get in trouble for showing this\

God damn.. I'm in tears now... That last bit... fuck, that's hard to watch. Just watched parts 1 and 2 back to back. Really well done.

Joseph Brzezinski

Is anyone having trouble pulling this video up? It has a password but it won’t let me type it. It doesn’t give me a place to type it like it usually does.

Reposting comment from Vimeo for visibility:As a former US marine, my take is that the position being taken in the video is not necessarily wholly correct, neither does it represent an anti-military representation. The majority of the people I served with (2007-2012) understood that the underlying premise (strategically) for our conflicts was financial, and that few people actually taking the physical risk would benefit from it. However, there are many other reasons for taking on that risk that are not adequately addressed by most media, including this video. US military personnel are guaranteed education and medical care for injuries related to their service (not going to touch on VA quality; That's beyond the scope I want to discuss here but it IS available...). It is largely in the hands of the veteran/service member to take advantage of the perks afforded to them, and I do think that there isn't enough education given to make completely informed decisions that take into account all of the benefits they are able to receive , but most people (military or not) do not necessarily understand their own benefits, such as health care/medication/co-pays/HMO's whatever... Veterans DO have a massive amount of support, it's just very poorly explained and very poorly executed. The vast majority of the marines I served with knew the risks they were taking, knew they would not be the direct beneficiaries of the conflict, and knew there could be consequences of their decisions that could change their lives forever. Here's the point I think this analysis is overlooking: The benefits for many people outweighed the risks. For many, if not most, it isn't about patriotism (at least not measurably), it's about cold hard cash. Food and board, medical care, stipends for family, VA loans, education, PLUS salary. It is an extremely good proposition for those who can withstand the indoctrination/trauma associated with doing one tour. It is very difficult to put a price tag on, or quantify, the benefits. It is tragic that anyone loses their life for an objectively bad political objective (Iraq, Vietnam, etc), however, these individuals neither want nor need pity. The "Esprit de Corps" (fellowship, friendship), that is gained through these adversities alone is immeasurable, and that's discounting the actual financial/societal gains. Veterans are able to get a degree in any field they want, at just about any university they want, at an insanely reduced cost Four years of service, with roughly a $20-50K salary, and negating possibly another $10-120K of debt over the next four years, is incredible. EDIT: Let me put it this way: An individual can work four years at McDonadls, WalMart, or FedEX making minimum wage with no ~$30k college debt, or work four years as a developer for Microsoft, Amazon, or google, making much more money, with ~$30k+ debt, and neither are guaranteed anything at all after those four years. No healthcare, no disability, nothing. However, you can spend four years doing military service (even non-combat roles) and be guaranteed tuition, living stipend while attending school, disability, healthcare for service-related issues regardless of employment, and likely earn bonus points on many job applications due to leadership and possibly job-related field experience. In my opinion, who is really paying an unnecessary cost here, the high school college grad, or the service member?

bfield

I love this series, it hits very close to home. Your commentary is also very truthful and honest, hopefully you make time to make more of these.

Yes thanks you guys this is the best !

amazing and so powerful. This series gives me chills. Can't wait for part three.

That's your takeaway from this video? hahahaha

NotNB

This is great

We need a part 3 please, god bless and the women and men that serve there country.

I agree 100%. I rewatched the Jussie Smollett video like 8x

Oh, SO SAME HERE!!😃😃

Thanks to your brother for his selfless service!!

Yes, most definitely would love to see this continue as a series! Absolutely every idea you put forth is brilliant and intriguing to me!!

I assumed it was the dressing the had placed on the wound.

Man, the end was rough to get through. My brother fought in Iraq and Afghanistan; definitely gives me a new perspective on the things he went through. Great Video

I really like this series! You speak a lot of hard truths that need to be heard..keep it up!

Wow

Great series, keep this series going. Thank you JCS

These are great!!!

unless you're a woman of course. in that case, the military says "fuck you"

Wow, thank you JCS team... this was a very heavy video. I appreciate all that you do.

I think branching out of interrogations and broadening what you and your team decide to produce has been very successful in informing and entertaining your fans. Both this series and The Code have been very sobering viewing experiences, but it's important for people to understand how the world really works. I look forward to your next project, as always.

Please keep this series coming!

so informative! love this series, i look forward to more in the future :)

I love this series. The ending was absolutely heartbreaking, I definitely shed a few tears.

Hey Jim, I hope the money you get from Patreon is as much as or more than YouTube. I really hope the Patreon support has given you the opportunity to do this as a full time job! You are a great narrator and your videos are incredibly well constructed and informative. Maybe in the future we could see a feature length Jim Can't Swim documentary/movie on all of the big streaming services!

Resounding yes from me. I live in New Zealand where the public are much more aware of the truth of war, without biased advertising. This is great insight for me.

Thank you for this.

Love this series, a healthy mix of both will both maintain and expand your audience.

What did fall down from the wounded guy? Was it half his head? Seriously asking. I almost got sick to my stomach. Harsh reality.

Can you make one of these on the role of Blackwater and other mercenary companies during the Irak invasion? keep them coming I love everything you produce!

Saad Devly

I don't think it was the injury being blurred but rather the soldiers face out of respect, in the same way that his name was blurred out during the eulogy.

Don't deny someone of hope. It might be all they have.

Jim for President

Hello Jim, I’ve enjoyed this video and the perspective you’ve focused and agree with the reason for joining shouldn’t be what’s advertised on tv, but based on what you want to get out of it personally. But I think this video and the ‘wrath of the rich kid’ video paints a one sided picture. The effectiveness of a SF unit is in it’s smaller size, it would be hard to say that a SF unit could collect all heads of terrorist organisations, even if so they maybe just grow back with different heads. There have been calls by Former SF operates to attack terrorism in a more full on fashion utilising the full military, but I think it’s unlikely that will happen given the global political situation and public backing in those types of issues. What do you think Jim, just my thought on the topic.

Please continue this series. This is incredibly well made and very important.

YES Plz Continue this series as well.

MSau

This is an important series to continue. I'll keep it short, don't gloss over and blur the images of an injury during war, it's understood that will happen to some. In this world of selfies and instant communication, if a potential recruit sees what he's in for in no uncertain terms, things could potentially change.

You gotta post more

CSOR and JTF2 are badass mofos. Those guys can do basically anything.

Bong Jovi

Yes

yes

yes

I vote yes on this series!

Marvelous work Jim

why is this so much harder to watch than the gruesomest of crime/interrogation documentaries ?

yes please, as a former marine in peacetime it gives me perspective to tell others what to expect when they mention their kids want to go into the marines or the military, and lets me show my son the realities of war. as he contemplates joining the military.

Brandon Hurt

There's really something special going on between your video creation and the narrator you have.

amazing

I will not go into politics of it but i have to express my admiration for such bravery.

Though it is too difficult for me to watch the tragic loss of life and limbs, I wish your hidden perspective videos were seen by everyone considering the armed forces - and their parents. I believe it would save lives and spare misery.

Maryann

Keep it up!

So so good Jim!!!! Please keep making these different videos. You're a VERY talented creator and I would love to see your skills applied to videos about other topics like this. Show people things from a perspective they would not otherwise see from. I'd love to see more videos about the untra-powerful or elite of the world....

no one cares what ur style is, the majority likes this series.

eh not my style... more interrogation videos plz

Do. Not. Stop.

Auchstvell

This is an extremely compelling series and is why I joined the Patreon service. JCS is what finally made me come over and check it out, specifically, these real life war documentaries.

continue this series please! I love your commentary on the futility of the war in general

Yes pls. Continue this series!!

These are so good. Keep them coming!

Why do the censor that stuff? If you are going to vote for people that caused this you NEED to see that. You need to understand what happens when you vote for people that chose war for profit

Definitely keep it coming, it is an eye opening of another type of reality that not many people might like, but it is still very important for some of us to know and keep learning on how this world works on many different levels. This are real life and death situations that can still teach us many things about ourselves and learn not to take many things for granted... family friends, work, etc...

Yes please! Continue this as a series, please.

jim just wanna let you know I watch and rewatch your videos every night. I fall asleep to them and I tell all my friends about them. For some reason they are the most calming perfect thing in the world. Please never stop.

My favourite series of all, pls continue!

got your patreon because of this series, definitely keep it up its incredible

Amazing vid Jim. While I love the videos with the more criminal interrogation focus on them. These wartime videos that showcase some of the "evil" in the world and the cold hard truths of it I find are more eye-opening and I hope to see more of them. Keep taking my dollars! xoxoxo

Y-K

There's a $10 tier??

Yep, this is good.

This should definitely continue as a series - I enjoy your content more than any other on Youtube. Keep doing what you're doing Jim!x

Seriously heavy. They risk their lives & even the ones who do come home, are NEVER the same. I dated an Army guy years ago. Gained a whole new level of insight & plainly, terror. The shit he did in his sleep?! The odd shit that would set him off?? Heartbreaking & for what?

Best Channel hands down I've never seen such quality and effort put into each video. I was completely engaged in the content. Thank you so much!

Wow that last clip was hard to watch, almost made me tear up.

another great edit JCS...love this series

yikes

You should definitely continue with this series, I quite like the variety of topics you bring us.

Fernando

Powerful

Excellent content, please continue this series and take similar risks. You can safely discard the few naysayers, as one has to take a stance on matters like this. You can't be completely unbiased.

Amazing Vids!

This is the best content I’ve ever watched

Woah

Damn that’s heavy. May the departed RIP. Another great analysis.

Ravie Jones

You can call it criticism, but any material will be biased to some extent. Regardless of the opinions given, true and false, many of us enjoy the insight into active deployment and serving in general, especially realizing the events service members of the Armed Forces go through in the upmost hectic and life changing situations. Jim isn't doing any disservice to people in the military by showing the severity of warfare, that's just the reality of it, and what these men and women signed up for. I for one find this series extremely humbling and informative. I look forward to it's continuation.

this is fantastic

JIM, you're the best, PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING, IT"S INCREDIBLE!

This is my favorite series yet, very enlightening and vital to see. Thank you so much for making these.

This series has an overt agenda. To me, this agenda is more criticism than analysis. My point is stick with investigation analysis rather than attacking the West. Quite frankly, using footage of injured and dying soldiers is offensive and disrespectful irregardless of your intentions.

Melisa Matkin

Fuck man Both of these were absolutely riveting. I love the interrogations but these are a whole nother level

Connor H

I joined at $1 for the interrogation videos. I just Joined the $10 tier in the hope that we get to see more of this series.

Fascinating content. Please continue this series.

This is fantastic more people need to understand the realities of the military.

Josh Harris

Oi that speech by the Marine at the end is fucking terrifying! How they claim its their God given right to be fighting in that place.... Mind boggling

i REALLY ENJOY THIS SERIES PLEASE CONTINUE <3

They should be showing these videos in low income areas.

Greg Gory

that last clip really tells such a deep story. May that young man R.I.P.

Captivating stuff m8

Very scary stuff. I had the opportunity to watch a fallen soldier come off the plane and salute him in Afghanistan, I couldn’t bring myself to go.

Very well done and informative. Every time I watch a new video I learn something new.

Disturbing footage but insightful. I found it pretty hard to watch in places. This sort of thing needs to be put out into the ether, otherwise people like me never fully grasp what goes on out there on the front lines.

Sarah

love the series Jim. keep it coming. anything that brings in new content is awesome for us honestly.

Personally, I prefer the classic interrogation videos over this series. I'm all for being experimental but this just doesn't interest me as much.

Jordan Maze

May I ask why? I'm interested to know what your reasoning is behind it.

Keep them coming jcs

dayday

Very captivating. More of these Jimmy!!

Thank you for these videos. It’s so important. I’m going to show my sons

Great content!

This series should be shown in all high schools in the U.S. It's important for every citizen to know the cost of war, and who's to blame for all this suffering.

The recurring theme between the interrogation tapes and these war videos is the dissection of the human psyche. Why do people end up in this mess they are in? It makes me question, what I would have done in similar circumstances/upbringing. Chilling.

Loved this episode. Also, what's up with your patreon page disappearing from google search? Mysterious drop in numbers too.

Fantastic content as always

No hate. Least fav JCS vid. :/

Can I have this as a transcript, fantastic stuff!

wow, absolutely riveting, please continue this series, truth is very valuable , thanks for the upload!

Signed up for the interrogation videos like multiple people have said, but this is actually amazing and interesting content. You should definitely keep on going with this series!

Sarah, the password it’s asking for is not your password, but the password the creator, in this case Jim, has set to allow only certain people to view this video. The six character alphanumeric password is written just under the title of this video. Hope that helps!

Elizabeth Schneider

WOW. This is so incredible Jim! One of the thoughts I had - would special forces have the ability to find enough talent, if there wasn't a calculated effort to attract a large enough of population of soldiers?

This was absolutely chilling

guys i cannot for the life of me get these private vimeo videos to work. it asks for a password "if i have it" i assume its refering to my vimeo password? it doesnt accept my passwords :( anyone else have or had this issue?

Thank you so much. Never seen anything that good

Important content for people considering joining the armed forces like i once was. This is great content and I’ll continue to support you.

Yes, continue! amazing series! As well as the interrogation of Alek Minassian, the driver in the Toronto van attacks. states he only stopped driving because somebody possibly threw a drink, or was holding one as they got hit and it covered his windshield and he could not see

These are great. Maybe would get more love if there were a censored version and an uncensored version.

I love this content. Yes, I signed up because of the interrogation videos, but I also love this series! I definitely think you should keep doing these!

Keep it coming brilliant would love to see part 3 but we all love a good interrogation video as well 😉

Jacob Meghnagi

If you’re talking about the faces and names of people, those are censored out of respect of privacy. Also, they might already be censored clips before they get their hand on them.

Jackson Hollis

I wish the entire population of the United States could watch this video.

Thanks for the fix jimmy!!

The fool on the roof...steel balls on that crayon eater. Brought me to tears...war is so destructive

Yes please keep doing these. I love everything you guys put out. Thank you

This is the best series!!

Amazing content! Yet really hard to watch. The end hurt my soul.

Benjamin Froehle

Amazing content and series, one I would very much like to see continue. Great takes from you once again JCS, keep up the good politics.

want to here something crazy, I worked on FOB Alcatraz as a PGSS Operator in 2013...small world

As cory said please don't stop doing this, I've never seen a youtube channel that makes content as entertaining and psychologically accurate as you do.

I disagree, I like this content.

I didnt get an email for this but I'm glad I checked today!

Samuel Martial

I never comment, but please keep doing these. No one is doing this type of content and realism on the psychological analysis level this channel is on. Interrogations are fantastic as well, but these are very insightful and unique. I would argue the reason there are those who do not prefer this content is because of how controversially real it is, which is testament as an artist WHY this channel should do it. Do not ever learn to swim, "Jim."

Love this series also. Would also welcome more of the inside prison content. Keep it up!

I love this series so far.

Please keep this channel to interrogations.

I like any and all things you put out! Thanks for everything and your hard work, it shows in every piece you put out which makes all of your work great!

Crafty Criminalist

As always I love your videos. I do hope, as some of the other members have posted, you do not begin to sway politically one way or the other.

I will 2nd the more on these videos. It’s a different type of truth.

How could you even ask “should we continue?”. Yes, emphatically yes.

features creatures

pls dont censor it makes it pointless that im paying for this

That was incredible, this absolutely should continue!

Ill ask for more on the docket for this series please

yes please continue this series, very unique insight. sad about that last guy but he was kind of asking for it by showing off his huge cojones on top of the wall. I love that British marines advert, i remember seeing it at the time and thinking wow. My limit would be at the start of the crawl through the water tunnel. i wish more adverts in general were that honest

Just finished it and stick by my original comment. If your going to post something so far off from the normal theme, it should be as an add on posted in the description of an interrogation video, like you used to do before. There are people posting positive comments but the majority of people didn't join up for this trust me. No thanks

Really good job on this Jim! The quality of the videos you make stays excellent, regardless of the topic. Keep this series going! Amazing job as always!

Jimmy of the interwebs, some people complained, some people exclaimed, but it is you who shows us the pained. Our sons and daughters are fighting wars that were started from bald faced lies of a US president. The region is now more unstable than any time in the last 60 years with little to show. You would think we learned with Vietnam, but here we are again.

Amazing series! Always look forward to it, hope you continue it.

Niall Kennedy

this is very heavy to watch, that scene at the end when the heli couldn't land broke my heart.

Definitely an informative series, please do keep them coming

More!!!

Please more content like this! These type of videos or eye opening and very important especially nowadays. Keep up the great work it only keeps getting better.

Man this really shows the horrors of war. These dudes are fucking badasses, idk how they survive that carnage

I like these, it shows a different level and approach to manipulation - yes interrogation videos are interesting still but diversification of content is overall a good direction imo

I think these are great. Nothing wrong with branching out especially at this quality level.

Dejanus

Frankly jimbo you tend to excel at the interrogation videos. These are really good but I prefer the former!

Not that interested in these to be honest. You asked so I'll answer. No I don't think this should continue. The interrogation analysis is what makes your content unique. When I get a notification I was expecting an interrogation video and kinda bummed out it's this. Just being honest.

So my date night is cancelled

Grim. Never stop, Jim.

Definitely keep these coming!

What a great series, this one was the best in my opinion. That last speach really got me haha

Definitely keep it going

Too Much Sascha

Please continue with these videos. They are so educational, concise, consolidated and entertaining. I love them!!

Oh God, it hurt to watch this. I went to Kuwait and Iraq when I was in the military. I wore that uniform.

AmandaCuckhold

please continue

That was riveting. Please do more of these. So moving. The narrator's voice is unmatched. I've seen so many phenomenal documentaries over the years but the amazing voice and quality of content makes for the best documentaries I have ever seen.

As someone from the military (Only did 3 years/ no combat) thanks for this video which shows the reality of the military and war in general.

Thank you for being so aware of why war still happens. When we realize we can’t keep killing other humans over planetary resources because a pretend line was written on a piece of paper we might be able to have some true progress. Until then sorry for the losses felt by families on all sides of every war.

Awesome as always. I'd most definitely like it to be an ongoing series. You're they best!! Thank you for all the hard work.

I loved this so much keep it up best content on the internet.

such great content being produced!

Thank you for pt.1 and 2. !

Sheesh this one was really heavy.. Amazing content, very well researched and it is appreciated how much time and effort goes into this. Thank you for continuing to amaze and intrigue me through your channel. Bless you all

Keep this series alive please, it gives such an important insight!

more of this please, been really interested in war recently

if you have to join the armed forces join the navy. sit on a boat for 9 months.

Bob Getty

keep em rollin' jim.

Does kizzume also produce these?

Beautiful video. I have a military background, and I am aware of the horrors of war. Everyone should see this video.

That shit was heartbreaking

I think this series should continue. I have not served, but come from a family of marines and army infantry. This first hand view of what the military is like is a truly terrible thing to witness. If I could make a request, it would be for a long-format discussion and more in-depth/detailed explanation of the psychological methodology of the military. I think that the psychology aspect of your videos is what makes them so intriguing.

"Only the dead have seen the end of war" -Plato 😭If only every person could see this video.

That was incredible, keep it up

Keep doing this.

Damn, someone started cutting onions during that last scene.

The "Hidden Perspective" series is raw and powerful. Keep it up Jim

Continue on. But only if you promise not to take sides. Because the elite are on all political levels, they pretend to be enemies but only serve themselves and their agenda.

This one was hard to watch. Thank you for your videos. Not always easy but you do amazing work. I appreciate you.

The last video was hard to watch

Delivers as always!

Absolutely continue with this type of content (in my opinion). I don't see stuff like this anywhere else. This is incredible viewing. Amazing work please keep it up!

Narrator is here https://www.youtube.com/user/kizzume

Anyone know who does the voiceover? I need to hire him for some stuff.

my day= made

:)))

Anotha one

Let’s go!!!

Our Lord Jim has blessed upon us!
