You're not a cry baby. You have love and compassion in your heart.

Don’t be ashamed of the tears! This is a sledgehammer of a song and if you don’t shed a tear you didn’t get the message the song is sending! If you want something from this band that is a bit less serious they did an excellent cover version of House of the Rising Sun that is definitely worth listening to.

The actors are vets. They really support the troops and vets. They do USO shows as well. Their remake of 'bad company' is really good. It shows them playing for the troops

As a an army veteran, I can only say this hits hard because it's so true.

You and me both, brother. The sad truth is that we, their comrades, have failed our brothers and sisters. Period. Full stop. If we don't support and care for them here at home as well as we did downrange, then WE are to blame. WE had to do it over there, wherever, and WE have to continue to do so. Ourselves. Yes, "somebody" should do "something". But we, at least, know how that usually works... Here in N TX, I'm/we're out there at least twice a week, in the camps and regular gathering spots. Generally assisting all, but absolutely seeking vets, who may require a more 'strongly encouraged' change of course. If WE don't, who will..? rl 🤘👹🤘

Crying over this particular music video does not make you a crybaby. LOTS of us cry over this one, multiple times, whether we are adult or child, male or female, military or civilian. You are just fine, there us no need for you to apologize for being Human. I certainly prefer reactors to be Humans and not automatons. Thank you for showing this video and this band the respect they deserve.

What I think is the most touching is the end. The biggest baddest looking dude being the most broken. The black guy says "you know me. You saved my life brother" then picks him up the exact same way he was picked up after he was shot. That got me

20 year retired veteran. This song gets to me every time I hear it. It is sad the way veterans are treated.

Being a veteran myself, this song hits hard every time. The end where he says "you know me, you saved my life brother." Breaks me every time.

You have a heart and it shows , yes they are actors , one gentleman was actually in combat , he is the same one shown homeless at the end of the video , he was the one who saved his brother in arms the one who made good on upon his promise to never forget 💙

Thanks for watching this video. Marine combat vet I lost brothers in combat and to their own hands after we got out so this video hits hard. Semper Fi to all my warrior brothers and sisters out there until we meet in Valhalla and drink a horn. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC

With Memorial Day not that far away, you may want to First React to another Five Finger Death Punch's "Gone Away" which is a cover of a 2000's song by The Offspring. Their version tells the tale of what happens to veteran that may have ended up as one of these statistics.

Been going through people reaction to this song and watching them going from happy to sad

They never seeved but have strong stand on military and support them above and beyond. And there fame could potentially help if they so choose. But still love this band and have for years and years

I saw them in concert in August 2022. Anyone who had retired/active military, they signed a full poster board full of autographs and personal messages. IT WAS AWESOME!!!

I’m a veteran and this song is deep FFDP does a lot for veterans and service members The 4 guys in the video are veterans FFDP Gone Away is another deep video

We pack the worlds load, the wolf is always at the door. They are actors but portray real world situations. See FFDP "Gone Away".

Happens every time. I can't get past the intro without the tear factory starting up.

Saddest part about this video is the fact that it is about 10 years old and things in the US only seem to be getting worse. 22 a day was an approximation when this song came out, currently I have seen estimates of 30-40a day. The Veteran's Adnministration is at best utterly inept and in cases criminally corrupt and veterans are still left without proper care

I am sorry for your loss

As a fourth generation vet, I can say only the facts as i have lived. I'm an old divorced vet with TBI and PTSD, that was homeless for 3 years and now exists under a program for homeless vets. I take cold showers and cook on a hot plate because I can't afford to have the gas on. If it wasn't for food boxes and pantries I wouldn't eat. I feel in the governments eyes, 22+ is just liability off the books. I wake up thinking shit still here, yet only God makes that decision and I don't surrender to anything or anyone! That includes the evil one whispering in the back of your mind. The internal battle ( like any other battle ) you might not want to fight it, be in it or want it to continue, but you never ever surrender to it. Just my thoughts on it.

In my country of britian veterans are taken care of our health services provide them with care workers but cause of the PTSD they suffer it can be a very hard job, the police are occasionally called to help calm them down and the cops actually do some good work doing so, I am so disgusted at Americas complete lack of compassion towards those who serve there country and the wives or husbands lack of understanding on how much there husbands or even wives suffer due to what they experienced on the front lines of there countrys conflicts. I’ve been reading a lot of military history books and what soldiers have went through throughout history is bound to be extremely stressful

Als een Landmacht Veteraan kan ik jou zeggen dan veel voor ons hier best goed tot goed geregeld is en er steeds meer Erkenning komt voor ons als Veteranen.. Er word hier in de Nl meer gedaan en worden we meer geeerd vind ik dan. Vind wel dat er nog veel meer erkenning voor Veteranen moet komen hier in Nl maar ook wereld wijd... Greedz to all how served never forgeten

I also recommended it to you recently. And it's emotional for me as a vet. You're not a cry baby. It brings tears to my eyes as a former red beret and infantry recon platoon so hard core KL. Emotions are okay. You are alive and human. You are not a rock. For me it's hard one to watch because i have seen it and have seen the aftermath of war. Lost friends, seen guys derail back from missions and even end up in jail for murder. One of my close army friends. And I trusted him completely because he served in my unit. If you haven't served, you do not understand this. When your life depends on trust between members of a unit, you are fully committed. He was the last one i would think is gonna kill a young woman. It was a life changer for me. And not easy to get over that and 20 years later I'm not over that. All of it is very real. The intro was kind of lost cause it says: The ones who love you the most Are the ones willing to fight for you... What is interesting when i mention to americans I served in the dutch army. They say thanks for your service. When i mention it here in the netherlands, they say: Are you stupid? They take their way of life and freedom for granted and don't think we need an army. But you have freedom because there is an army. And there are people willing to fight for you and your freedom and trust me, we all pay the price. This is our sacrifice to our country. ❤

Alright I think the ❤means yes. Soldiers are not homeless before they go on a mission. Often have gf's living together or are married. But you are not the same person when you come back. And soldiers are trained to not show weakness. Ever. Weakness is not acceptable. You can't say you have a mental issue. Are you okay? Yea sure everything is fine. If you are weak, you are a problem. And these guys come back with mental issues like ptsd and not the same person as they were. Arguments start, substance abuse, getting kicked out of the house. Cant keep a job in these conditions. And end up homeless. It's the dark side of military training.

If you want a suggestion for your next FFDP song I would recommend "A Little Bit Off." It's much lighter subject matter, kind of a parody video when Covid came out, but the lyrical message behind it was my theme song for quite a while.

Another thing about this video that is often missed by first time viewers. The only group of people that are helping these "troubled" veterans in the video are other veterans (the cop and Jacoby). Just something else to consider. They go over to help keep their brothers safe, but have to keep fighting to keep their brothers safe once they return from the war.

Great reaction. I've used many of the resources listed here. I'm guessing they're actors. Not the band. Their cover of Blue on Black is excellent.

Gone Away is another powerful song by FFDP. You should check it out. I cry everytime that I watch.

I was able to prevent a brother-in-arms from comitting suicide because they reached out to their mom, and said mom called me. I knew what numbers to call, and acted as the one-person command center for keeping everyone who was affected by the attempt informed. 8 hours after the individual was taken into protective custody, I finally broke. I am unashamed to admit that I collapsed onto my workbench and cried. I went to work the next day, just so that I could have some sense of normalcy. I made a point of taking on the most difficult jobs, because I needed to keep my mind and body busy. Fast-forward to today, and the individual is alive and doing well, as am I. All it took was a phone call to stop a tragedy.

In 2018 the department of defense released statistics showing the 851 American soldiers suffering from PTSD committed suicide because the government didn't do anything to help fort Carson Colorado holds the Guinness book world record for the most soldiers accidentally killing a family member while they were suffering from PTSD they fought for the country and were treated like unsung heroes but when they accidentally kill the family member while they were still in combat mode the courts treated them like the worst people on the planet. Our country is one of the worst countries for taking care of our soldiers other countries treat their soldiers like royalty when they come home and they never need another thing as long as they live but our government doesn't give a s***about us the government's got the people afraid of the when it should be the other way around the government should be afraid of the people.

And, I can honestly say that I have never seen anything like that before. Now, I'm 100% totally and permanently disabled, and it won't end until I die. But, I would do it all over again if given the choice. Someone did it for me and my family, and it was just my turn to pay it forward. My oldest son has now taken his father's place. The price for the freedoms that we enjoy has come at an ungodly price for many. I hope that it's appreciated.

The outcome is really sad and the US should be ashamed, but look at the big picture. Americans are force fed that America is the greatest most free country and every attack (from outside the US) is trying to take their freedom. Every political speech mentions freedom at some stage. 1% of the US adult population is in prison, that twice as many as South Africa in 2nd place, that's hardly the land of the free is it?

If the governments could hear civilian voices.. and not what they wanna portray on tv.

The US government scumbags lets this happen. That pisses me off.
