Thank you for sharing, as a Veteran I love to see peoples reaction on this one and I definitely appreciate hearing your thoughts on this one.

It's reeaaaally seldom to see a man get emotional (especially on the internet where everyone wants to look "better" than everyone else). You are a real one. THANK YOU for that. I don't need more people in my life who wont show emotions on songs like this! We are all human - not robots.

I'm a woman, and I agree that men's issues are not addressed, and they should be. I'm sending love and support to you and all men out there who need it! Not all women are uncaring, but unfortunately, many women don't think about men having emotions and feelings, and that's so strange because we are all humans, with basic needs and desires. Keep your heads up, my dudes. You do MATTER!!! MUCH LOVE TO YOU!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

This song made me realize how lucky he is, and how lucky I am, that he got out without trauma and with a family and home that love him.

I'm a Gulf War vet. I was not homeless but had a hell of a time adjusting when I came back. It took me many years and still going threw it. Saw this for the first time and cried like a baby when it first came out and couldn't stop replaying it and crying. You feel a fraction of that but you feel it. All love!

I did my degree studying PTSD and general trauma, and it it faaaar more common than most people think. It is made worse by a society that tells men that the only emotion that they are allowed to have is anger, and the rest is just weakness. You can't reconstruct a tower if you aren't allowed to use half of the parts. The way that we strip-mine people for a role and then cast them off without making them whole again is criminal.

​@nozee77 never seen combat, never lived in a warzone, never suffered familial abuse but I did get so horrifically abused by my peers in school that even seeing a bunch of teens in a group in their uniforms is enough to start flashbacks. I have panic attacks, can't eat or sleep when I have to go to my teens school (whether that's for shows they're participating in, parents evening, speaking to student support for any reason, or even that I have to pick them up because they're sick). Then I had a couple of DV relationships, so complex PTSD checking in here. My own mum didn't understand the whole "non-military get ptsd too" until not just me but my sister developed cPTSD after a domestically violent relationship. My mum developed PTSD after watching my nan (her mum) die of a heart attack in a very medically violent way (heart attack, with COPD which caused some quite narly bleeding/coughing up blood). As she was DNI/DNR medical staff could do nothing and my mother had to sit and watch that all go down. 3 different reasons right there between myself, my sis and my mum as to why we all have PTSD non of us have ever served in the military.

@@nozee77 PTSD is what anyone can get during or after a bad situation... I'm an army vet, and some of us went through shell shock (look it up) during or after combat. WAY DIFFERENT. I'll take a constant ass kicking, abusive, drug addicted, drunk family over what I did and went through and saw. 100%.

I'm a veteran myself, and this song is a great one to help raise awareness of what is happening. The even sadder reality is that a decent portion of those veterans who are homeless are in that situation "by choice" because the military does a relatively poor job reintegrating our Service Members back into civilian life, ESPECIALLY combat veterans, many of whom have experienced the absolute worst that humanity has to offer. And when I was in, a lot of these reintegration briefings and resources were optional and not compulsory, so many who separate from the military assume that they'll be fine without taking advantage of what is offered. But you're correct, there's still a stigma of people not caring about the emotional state of men, but it's engrained in our society in many ways, including how laws are selectively applied in crimes (such as if both people are drunk, a woman can't be expected to have the capacity to say no, but a man should be able to hold back his own actions in the same situation). I was a paralegal in the military, and I saw some really disturbing cases come through the military court system. There are a lot of disturbed Service Members out there, and often due to what they've been exposed to because of their military service. I'm a true believer that a broken mind can be repaired, but it takes exponentially more effort to repair than it does to break. I give the military credit that they are doing a LOT better helping our veterans and talking about mental health than they used to even 20-30 years ago, but there's a lot of room to get better. Be careful taking the stats in this video at face value, though. There are a lot of nuances that go into such stats.

The guitarist Zoltan is head of a NFP org that helps out Vets too who have PTSD and/or are homeless. He's also joined an organisation called VETPAW, where US combat vets aid in antipoachin in Africa. Love or hate 5FDP (or more often I hear, they hate Moody based off his personal life/past) they do a lot to raise awareness and fund raise for Veterans over in the States. Zoltan is also one of the only few civilians certified to train the US Army in close quarter combat techniques (considering hes Hungarian born and not american by birth, i didnt think theyd allow that so....). So he is very involved with both active and veteran military. He's even featured in a Seal Team 6 operatives 100 deadliest people. He's a playable character in COD. Zoltan Bathory is absolutely the spearhead of 5FDP philanthropy when it comes to the military. Ivan obviously is quite a strong supporter of the US armed forces too, but imo Zoltan is the spearhead.

When you said don't make me cry at the beginning I felt bad for you, cause it makes me well up every time I listen to this. But massive cudos for putting out a video of you breaking like that. Stay strong brother. I want you to do more 5fdp but be warned they do have some strong messages.

Brother, like 90% of FFDP videos are gut punches. As a veteran and a man both, I appreciate both this song and your reaction to it.

How your not at 1M subs, blows my mind. Hands down the best reactor with actual substance. Keep grinding Teddy

im really thankful for my dad coming back from the military, i didn't learn until later in life that he came back with night terrors for a long time. he recently after so long finally got help from the VA because of injuries he's suffered from while being in the military. My father served as a marine in Desert Storm.

a remarkable song , makes you think another is the song " gone away"

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. This song / video hits me hard. Combat Vet - served 12 years. Felt a hole when I got out, dealt with that for years. Multiple therapists for PTSD. Then, in all my brilliance, sought to fill the hole - so I became a volunteer EMT. Not just vets have PTSD - firefighters, paramedics, nurses, doctors, counsellors, teachers, and so many more that arent listed here. Not just men, women too. As men, we got indoctrinated from an early age that emotions are seen as weak (at least when I was growing up), and too many times that is continued to be pounded into our brains - and joining the military where you get told to "suck it up" does not help that. Mental health is so overlooked - and I want to say thank you for your insightful take after the video. Well done, well done.

Disabled veteran here: was never a fan of this band, but definitely appreciate all they do for vets

This was my reaction to the first and a few times after watching it. It’s so raw and guttural. Ivan’s voice too, insane. I can feel it.

Coming Down Is very underrated but also extremely gut punching song that hit extremely personal space for me. Much recommended

Hi Teddy, this is my first time posting. I always love watching your reactions. As a female army combat veteran who spent 23yrs, literally half my life in the military, this one really hits home. I truly appreciate your honest/raw reaction. Thank you. 🙏 Sending love to all my brothers and sisters still serving and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.❤❤

Five Finger Death Punch is a strong supporter of Veterans and First Responders; one of the band members is also a veteran. They have done several campaigns where the proceeds from the songs/videos go to these organizations. Recently Ivan Moody has also done more with programs for sobriety since he achieved sobriety. As a female, and a therapist, I do what I can to advocate for males and the lack of attention brought to the unique conflict of issues faced. I listen to this band often, somehow the music helps me reset, and think. I would highly encourage you to continue exploring them and their music!

As a Veteran myself thanks for watching this video and spreading the word about what we go through on a daily basis! Your a legend

Completely agree with you Teddy man. All about Authentic men and womb-men above Inauthentic men and womb-men.

Famous last words when watching this video. "Don't make me cry". Good shit, Teddy. The veteran struggle is real in any country. The common denominator being war and doing things that go against the human/humane grain. The US just has a larger military than most so it's more prevalent here but all humans who go to war can have life as they knew it, change on a dime in more ways than one. One can never know what this can do to a person unless you've lived through it. Being in a combat zone can literally change the physical makeup of your brain. And it's rare for these veterans to find people to turn to who truly understand. You would imagine that the military/VA system would be the best equipped to help veterans... but innately they suppress the whole thing... cover it with medication. Militaries around the world need to make fundamental changes before they send these humans to a warzone to help this problem. I don't really see that happening in my lifetime, if at all. Sadly.

the "You saved my life, brother" in the carpark gets me everytime

I just wanted to say that I am very honored to be able to say that my Grandfather served in WW2 and my father served in the Korean War. They never talked much about it, but I could see the hurt and anger inside their eyes at times. God Bless our military. 😁

Love your reaction's Teddy but I absolutely love your own raw, genuine, real and observational input. Wish more folk see things like you do.

Because our government has failed them. Most receive disability, but it barely covers their rent. In my area, the average cost of a one bedroom apartment is $1,200 to $1,400 a month. You can't live a bare minimum lifestyle when your disability check is maybe two hundred dollars more than rent. You have to pay rent in an assisted living community as well. After you factor in utilities and basic necessities, they're expected to survive off of money they don't have. The majority will qualify for a specific insurance for disabled vets, and whereas insurance typically covers everything, many are still left with a copay they can't afford. Some will even go as far as dropping you if you're diagnosed with something terminal. That's also a general population practice (I've witnessed my mom go through that). You're supposed to automatically qualify for additional government assistance (help with food, home healthcare, discounts on utilities, ride assistance to Dr apts, etc), but will be denied it because the disability they recieve is over the threshold of income to qualify for said benefits. Many do receive the assistance they need, but sometimes, it's still not enough. Then, you step into the mental health side of things. The unaliving rate of vets is higher than the general population because mental healthcare is not as readily available. We all know the havoc mental health can wreak on your body and your quality of life in general. Next you have those who turn to drug use. Rather it be from medication used for pain management that escalated to addiction or those who turned to it as a means of escape. Yes, we have organizations to help them, but they can't take care of every single vet. America likes to play captain save a hoe to others but won't take care of their own. These men and women volunteered to fight for this country because they believed in protecting everyone's freedom only to get left behind when they needed their country the most. I also come from a military family. I'm an advocate for mental health no matter who you are. I'm an extremely large advocate for mens mental health. Exactly as you said, they're raised to bear the brunt of things. Just because you're raised to be the provider doesn't mean you should have to do that alone. There's compromises that can be made so you still fulfill that role, but you won't go through it alone. We all need love and support and I wish everyone had that in their life.

​​@@theraven7790It amazes me that the thanks never extends to proper financial support. Amazing how much someone's mental health improves when they are financially stable. It's the equivalent to thanking them for their service then waiting for them to turn around so they can spit on their back.

So much respect for you. Your reactions are great and fun to watch. Thank you for addressing tough topics. You are so right about issues men face.

That is the EXACT type of response that Ivan wanted from someone watching this music video.

I still tear up at this video. My father was a submariner for 13 years. From him I gained a massive respect for veterans.

Thank you for your reaction, I often sit at my local VFW with other vets and the one thing we often agree on is how much better we were treated and appreciated overseas rather than at home. I still remember coming home my first time on leave wearing my uniform feeling proud, only to be called a baby killer.

Both men at 8:00 were former military, the man with the beanie saves the other man's life earlier on in the video after he got shot so he tells him "Look at me, you saved my life brother". Always gets me, great music video, great lyrics.

August Burns Red also did a video like this called Ghosts. It's amazing. The song has so much power to it.

I've loved this long for so long, but had never seen the video! Now I'm crying, and see a while different side of that song that i never knew. Thank you for racing to the video rather than just the song with the lyrics.

As a veteran - bless you brother for reacting to this video and your words after

Im a disabled veteran, they break us down even further, im 80% as designated by the V.A. and your percent limits your benfits allowed, and a fact not mentioned is a Veteran is REQUIRED to wait 180 days homeless inorder to be looked at to be placed in a facility or program. The system is very inadequate. Thank you for speaking about our issues

Combat veteran here. This video gets me every single time without fail. I loved your truly genuine and emotional reaction. Thank you so much for your heartfelt words. Incidentally, my only health care in under the VA. I get what I need when I need it. I have a primary care provider and I can even see a nutritionist or they will let me go to a specialist in my community. My husband is also a veteran. We both are taken care of well by the VA...however, not all facilities treat their patrons with respect and such. We go to a local satellite clinic in town and 0only go to a main VA hospital for major reasons. And no one is force to join the military for free health care. Believe me, it was NOT free. We earned it. VA health care is socialized medicine. It only works because it is a small community of American veterans. To apply it to a whole country would be a bad idea. And the illegals...screw them. They are taking resources this country could use for its own citizens. More FFDP videos? DO the following: The Pride, Jekyll and Hyde, Gone Away, Far From Home, A Little Bit Off, Under and Over It, and also a lyric video by this band with the lead singer of Judas Priest, Rob Halford together for a song called Lift Me Up.

Love your genuineness in sharing your emotional response to this song / video. All aces my friend!

Great track and great group too!! Just like to point out that this is similar for veterans in the UK. I served 12 years with the British Army (Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Iraq) and left with severe P.T.S.D.. Received no help at all just pushed out into civvy street. Homeless and on the streets for 17 months. Three suic*de attempts, mental health out patient, registered alcoholic, then prison for assaulting someone that urinated on me whilst asleep in a doorway. Fortunately now (24 years later) I have a room in a shared house, no substance abuse issues, no more offending, P.T.S.D. much more managable, but medically retired due to degenerative spinal issues.

We are all feeling the feels with you brother, and like you I'm not even American, not even is english my first language, that's the power of this

I was raised in a military household where when my dad came back from Iraq, my mother divorced him because she got together with a neighbor while he was deployed. This song is always a tear jerker for me.

One of very few songs that the music video can make me tear up 90% of the time

its impossible not to tear up to know this tragic fact of reality. Glad to find your channel!

As a veteran of the Iraq/afghanistan wars, this one never ceases to hurt me. So many lives lost, on all sides. Nowadays I wonder what it was all for.

This song says so much, and I feel it every time. Thanks for sharing your reactions TG, I've watched a few now and I can see you really engaged every time.

I am the widow to a Vietnam veteran. A lot of our vets don't know where to go to get help, my husband was I saw this everyday. My husband suffered from PTSD. The VA needs to do an out reach for those that need it. They don't come back okay, I know in Vietnam, they did drugs, PTSD is scary to those that don't know what it feels like. My husband would never turn his back to a door, he'd have nightmares, and you didn't just touch when he was asleep, he would come out swinging.

Teddy once again you never cease to amaze me! You usually pause a lot to give your thoughts (which we love btw) but this you were insightful enough to let it play. You knew not to interrupt. How old are you? You are incredibly empathetic and insightful for your age.

I saw them live in Dec of 2022. What an amazing show! Basically every show they take time for a veteran in the crowd! Thank you for your service for every single vet out there. From a South African working in the US.

This is my favorite 5FDP song. The lyrics are so meaningful and highlight the struggles of the brave individuals who give so much to protect our country. Our country has failed them so much. Especially as we find more and more that it’s our own weapons causing TBIs for the soldiers operating them which over time leads to significant issues with brain functioning often it presenting as (but not limited to) frequent emotional dysregulation and escalation with minimal provocation, hallucinations and delusions, significant changes in personality, memory issues, sleeping issues, and more. It’s hard to reintegrate into society carrying all of that. That’s in addition to many soldiers may not have had adequate support systems before joining and may not have them when they finish their contracts. The divorce rate is so high that they may not have a loved one waiting for them anymore or a child they don’t get to see. And what then can happen is they have no one to turn to and they can’t sleep so they drink. So we send these individuals to fight our battles with promises or glory, free education, and healthcare and abandon them when they return. And it’s insult to injury that the insurance they are given sometimes still won’t be compatible with medical providers or mental health services in the area. Getting on disability is also a huge fight most of the time. It’s honestly heart breaking. And that’s not even getting into the politics of it all. We have to do better. For how men are socialized is a problem. From the time that men in the US are little they are often given messages to swallow their emotions and as a consequence don’t get taught how to deal with them effectively. Boys are not allowed to be emotional and must be leaders. Girls are told to be emotional and must be caregivers. Both can be toxic. When the message for boys that they are less than if they express vulnerability gets repeated then they grow into men that avoid emotional intimacy because it’s too vulnerable. And since boys often don’t get taught that emotions are natural and more information you can use to learn from vulnerable emotions are masked with anger. So many men carry so many wounds that were never acknowledged because they felt they had to hide them. It’s amazing what could happen if we educated and validated rather try to force young kids to be as convenient as possible for parents that often aren’t willing to acknowledge their lack of skills. We need to do better.

Not me at the gym trying to hide the tears! This one gets me every time 😢

A recent post on a FP page for Metal fans asked 'why FFDP isn't as well liked ... etc'. Personally, I was clueless to this statement until I started reading the comments. A fair amount was saying they just outgrew the music. However, there was a surprising amount of comments that blew me away by stating that 'they hated FFDP because of how they support veterans'. At first I thought is was a trolling comment, but then I read comment after comment of horrible things about that. Finally got to a comment from a couple of veterans, one who said how much this comments hurt him to his core. That pushed me over the edge - I expressed my support of our veterans and how we literally would not be the country we are today or even the super power without those that chose to serve. I ended up talking with that veteran a little and he told me that my comments help restore some faith after reading the ugly ones. That made me happy. I didn't serve. I was set to, but was denied medically. I, however, will stand next to those that did serve to defend their service to any misguided people that chose to bash our military. This song that FFDP did exemplifies the comments I read and now seems to have taken on an even deeper meaning. Our veterans (American or otherwise) just deserve better. Thanks for your reaction, Teddy.

8:09 - “look at me, you saved my life, brother.”

This one always gets me brother. Served, father served, uncles and aunts. This one hits so close to home. Hit the nail on the head at the end.

So many men need to know they are precious, their lives matter, their bodies are sacred, they need love, forgiveness and purpose. This song fucks me up but it’s such an important message

This is a band that gives 110% I would suggest a live version of .........Wash it All Away.......... you won't regret it

Teddy..... Seeing that reaction that you just had and realizing that is the same reaction I have EVERYTIME I see that video is crushing. I've been in the US military for 33 years and I have seen just about everything in this video. I'm glad you had the reaction you did. I get pissed and cry every time I see this video but I don't turn away. Its real...it happens more than most people want to admit, In the US and in GB. I have many friends in England that have gone through or are going through the same things pointed out in this video. I loved your reaction....You and I would get on great over a Pint! Love the reactions keep them up!

I have seen this music video over 10 to 20 times, i know it is not alot, but still somehow someone is cutting onions at the (you saved my life, Brother) part.

That’s why as a man I stopped caring. I’ve been through stuff and opened up to my significant others just for them to use that against me. I stopped opening up and stopped giving a shit about what people say. But it’s nice when the issue of men’s mental health comes up and someone addresses it. I know this video isn’t the major point of that but good on you for bringing it up. Protect the vets and protect men’s mental health

5 finger death punch are one of them bands i find easy to sing to they are awesome

That's such a strong message in this song! Love your reaction👍it's very important for everyone to see this video!

This and "coming down" by ffpd always send me. Coming down hits me hard, but I feel it helps. Sometimes, you just need to let it out. I need to sleep but have been binge watching your content. Keep at it, love your work.

As a US ARMY vet this hits me hard. I agree we men have a hard time expressing our emotions. We feel we need to appear strong for our families. You should check out their song gone away. That hits harder because their are very few of us that have not lost a brother in arms .

i love how you FEEL the music not just hear it!! thank you

There's a reason why this song+video makes most men want to cry....

Said this before, and it is worth repeating: never lose that soul, my friend. It is what makes you different than so many others on YT. Thank you for sharing with us. It helps more than you might know.

This song always hits me hard because I'm with one of those veterans our system is letting down. I hear these things from him often. He's told me many times that I've saved his life more times than I know and that if he hadn't met me, he'd be one of the 22. This country does a huge disservice to the veterans. I encouraged him to show his emotions and let me in. I helped him learn to be human. His PTSD presents angry a lot, for sure, but we work through it and he's grown a lot in the 7 years we've been together. He still can't get the help he deserves from our VA or the country. He was in Iraq in the very beginning. He saw nasty shit in An Nassiriyah. He was one of those who lost his family and everything he had. This country is a disgrace in terms of supporting our veterans.

The end tho, like 8:00. There's something about seeing LITERALLY eye to eye with someone. I felt that, I saw that Teddy felt it too.

Fair play teddy for posting despite getting emotional realest youtuber out which is why I subbed

much appreciated 🤝

I’m a woman watching this and I agree with you. I’m a Navy wife, Army daughter, Army Granddaughter (all career, all retired). I knew full well what I signed up for and with whom. My job was to step up for our family while he was deployed (or out in the field). More people, especially women, need to heed the vows they took when getting married and raising a family. I’m not a selfish quitter (coward) and neither is the good man that I married. Since retirement, we live in a very different civilian world; one without respect, honor or trust. There are 2 million of us, protecting and serving about 400 million citizens from enemies foreign and domestic. In my opinion, those who serve the country in peacetime or war for 20+ years, at least deserve what Congress (the ones sending them to war) gives themselves upon retirement (300,000.00 annually plus health benefits for life). I’m proud of our Armed Forces and will always be at their 6.

yup, same here bro the exact same reaction the first time I saw this and it still happens now

This one brings me to tears every time. Great reaction and commentary, Teddy.

This song is one of those that always hits my soul. It's very specifically about veterans and their struggles...but like all of the truly great, poignent, songs...the message can apply to ANYONE that is struggling with feeling alone or left out. Feel your feelings, but more importantly, if you know someone that is going through something...HELP them. Even if it's just to say "hey, how's it going?" Let them know that they are not alone.

Bruv your always so raw with your reactions honestly I wanna say thank you so much for showing that men can show how they feel and that we can cry and its okay!! Your inspiring mate keep it up ❤

Thank you bro.

Thank you!

Thanks for keeping it real Teddy, Great reaction vid...

I'm an Afghanistan vet. 2002 to 2009. I spent 2007 to 2009 in r Rammstein Air Force Base for surgeries and learning to walk again after an ied. U.S. vets don't have the help we need

if there are any veterans out there that need someone to talk to reply to this comment ill give you my email im always available to listen i used to be an EMT and ive treated a few vets and i cant respect veterans enough the sacrifice you guys and gals make is ultimate and i just want to say thankyou for all your service and lest we forget those who sadly couldnt make it home i will never forget them for their bravery and their ultimate sacrifice

This is the song that got me into Five Finger Death Punch. Their lyrics have meaning,the message is strong.they are Worth more

I can't watch this video without crying.

I was a U.S. armed forced medic for 8 years, not much really gets me too emotional... But at the end when the Lt. finds his attached SF dude from that mission and goes "You saved my life, brotha" i cry literally every fucking time. Tears happening even now. Thanks for this one Teddy. More people need to know about this.

And yeah... a lot of us should be familiar with the term "Suffer in silence" if you've done military time. We carry that pretty much for life.

Brill reaction Teddy, this video gets me every time. I used to work with a guy who had PTSD. He had been in the army for 4 years and had also been a cop for some number of years. Told us about some of the horrors he'd seen during his service which was pretty brutal tbh. He turned up for work one morning drunk as hell. He had a couple of six-packs in the back of his car and he'd been drinking all morning. Apparently, he had an argument with his wife and that brought everything back. Society doesn't do anywhere near enough to help those who did everything to help us.

I get the impression that you are a military veteran. Your face says it all. It doesn't matter what country you're from. If you've served your country, no matter what country it is, thank you for your service. Please follow-up with one of these veteran groups, your heart and mind need healing.
