For anyone wondering why the 77th went through TWO years of training in the States, it's because of the lack of shipping. MANY divisions didn't go overseas until the buildup for D-Day because why ship people to England if they are just going to sit and, in the meantime, you have to use precious cargo ships to feed them there? Keep them in the States while you send all the equipment first so you can mate men to material just before D-Day. Same for the Pacific Theatre... One reason the US soldiers were so good once in combat was because for hundreds of thousands of them they trained, trained, trained for f'ing months and months and months before going overseas.

The expression you're looking for is "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

"We beat the funny mustache man!" Whatever did Charles Chaplin do?

Charles Chaplin is the funny mustache man.

I think you mean the other one, the angry mustache man.

the army though that Desmond Doss had saved 100 people, he thought he had only saved 50 so they met in the middle and said 75

33:48 that Sherman tank has a snorkel system attached to it.  One is air intake the other exhaust.
They are not speakers.

The Chad division.

Just gonna state this. I love how when he says "this flipped the peoples perspective from we don't want problems, to cowabunga it is" the camera panned from the right side to the left, which is where he kept his guns and what looks to be a maucuhitl.

Flame throwers were used EXTENSIVELY in the island hopping campaign. Very often they were used to help clear undergrowth and heavy vegetation to help reveal where all the traps and wires were hidden.

Crocodile tanks were invented in WWII

Fun fact about the flamethrower. We had a guy that lived here in WV that utilized that weapon in the battle of Iwo Jima. He won the medal of honor. His name was Hershel "Woody" Williams. He passed away last year.

Rave when you get our age 30-40s

You'll understand why we all wake up early

You won't even care what anyone else thinks

Drop that Highschool peer pressure BS and you will be free

Flamethrower: the enemy cannot hide in the woods if there are no woods!! 😂

33:44 This is a DD (duplex drive) Sherman. those "fins" on the back are not a sound system but ducts to redirect both the intake air and exhaust so that the sherman tank can wade in shallower water as it moves from the landing ship to the beach. these shermans would also normally be equiped with propellers and a large canvas rigging to increase their mobility and buoyancy in deeper water. however this particular DD does not have the deployable canvas rigging usually for one of two reasons.

1: the Marines wanted to be able to use their tanks for infantry support on the way to the beach, and the rigging would have gotten in the way.

2: the ocean was shallow enough where the Shermans were released from the Landing ships that the rigging would be redundant and would simply add weight to the tank.

23:44 regular military? Rare. Special forces? All the time.

Oh no!
They have set us up the bomb!
::screen flickers to life::
Hahahaha, make your time, all your base are belong to us!

Rave, I gotta thank you. I discovered this guy through you and I have no seen all his videos. Bought some of his merch. He's side splittingly funny. So, thank you.

Germany didn’t have to declare war on America because Japan attacked first which went against Germany and Japan’s agreement of defense if the other had war declared on them
(Edit)
Flame weapons aren’t crimes against humanity

One the question of "What about the Jews?" I would counsel to learn  about "The Voyage of the Damned".

The guys with flamethrowers were targeted first and once they shot the tank first.

Just so you know, a flamethrower doesn't just kill you by burning you to death. If the flamethrower was being used to clear bunkers even if you avoided the flames you would die. Because the fire consumes all of the oxygen in the room and you will suffocate to death. So basically your options are to burn or suffocate to death, both are really bad ways to die.  That being said the life expectancy of a flamethrower operator wasn't long in combat. They were going into combat with two giant tanks full of flammable liquid on their back. If the tanks got hit by a tracer round the operator would go up like a roman candle.
