Didn’t the offspring originally make this song?
It’s a brilliant concept video for this song. Respect to our servicemen and women.
Thank you all for your service and sacrifice
can soldiers put down an emergency contact to get the news first for when they die
it seems like it would be helpful to be able to choose a third party, that can be compasionate and comforting, but doesn’t have as intense a loss, or are more hardened and able to navigate the situation better
eg someone who’s already lost others, like a carreer military soldier, like they might meet in boot camp, or on base, or out in the field,
someone who has experienced loss, would probably know many things to watch out for, and ways to help
,
they could know how to spot spirals, they would know how to spot addictions in the making, they would know how to handle paperwork, and how to handle tense family fights, and the mere presence of a third party could help keep people behaved, yes you probably want time alone to mourn in your own way, but you will have alone time no matter what, and a good helper would be able and willing to back off and relax as well as step in and interrupt,
eg shuolder to cry on, and joke the tears away at times, let people break at times, and help them hold it together when they need to
,
eg soldiers could choose a church leader, or family friend, or teacher, or fellow soldiers, or commanders, etc, that person would be notified by the military first, and given instructions on the soldiers wishes, so that the third party can arrange for the family to be together to help comfort eachother, or so they can go and give the news in person and personally be there to help comfort and care for those suffering
i just saw that wife on the ground with her daughter crying, and i thought, someone should be there with them, hugging them, talking with them,
couldn’t they send female soldiers, or wives on base, to be a shoulder to cry on and hang out for a few hours that day and checking back in every day for that week, and tapering off for a few months,
to comfort and help with business needs, minding the kids, chores around the house, calling up others who need to know (family, friends), helping with legal and financial documents, helping plan the funeral, sell or buy needs (new housing, vehicles), helping find employment, childcare, etc
how many lives are devastated (children, spouses, parents, siblings, friends) not only because of the initial emotional hit, but from going into a spiral falling apart and not being able to take care of needs and handling tons of major life changes
someone should be there to help make sure needs are met, people are eating, sleeping, not overdoing it with alcahol or drugs,
i tend to think government would mess this up and make things worse,
but soldiers and their families and support structures could start making plans like this on their own,
eg family of soldiers could be available more for those back home, and could ask to be notified at least by phone
they could set up fire drill plans, in case, so that in the event many things can just be repetition and people can have the support they need
wives on base back home can form tight bonds and pass down traditions and rituals, and wisdom, adn they can reach out to veteran grannies with more experience, etc
People call me The Wolverine,
I used to think it was cool, until I understood more about his character,
I had a bad night, I cried from about 2am til 4, I listened to a lot of Slipknot, there’s a channel on YouTube, she’s a therapist, (HeartSupport- Music to Improve Your Mindset) and she’s taken to using the music of Slipknot to help her and her clients. It’s hard for me to put into word how that music survived me through times where I couldn’t see a way out, but I had to, I had to claw and grab and fight for every inch forward, when I didn’t think I had the energy or the fortitude, but I put the music on and I got that inch, that inch was always the start,but never the end, the inch that kept me going, the something that kept me going, the something I had to find inside myself, the something that no one knows that’s there. I don’t ever talk about the fight that is inside me, the fight that is there because I’ve lost everything more than once, and I mean everything. To have to come back from nothing after having everything takes more energy than I can explain. But I continue to fight because I find my way through the lyrics, because they resonate, because I agree, because I Will Always Fight
I want you to know your channel helps more people than you will ever know
This song and video always hits me hard. As a USMC Vet I have lost brothers I served with and ones I hadn’t but those I grew up with that served before me. I’ve been at this low before with a firearm placed at my head by my own hand 5 years ago and the only reason I am here today is because my oldest daughter walked in on me to say good night to me when her mom and I were in the middle of a separation and I was dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD and beginning stages of alcoholism.
Well 5 years later after dealing with severe anxiety, depression, alcoholism, and also homelessness, I am now getting my life back on track. Got myself an apartment, working with the VA to get sober and on meds to get my emotions regulated. Only thing is over the last few years is I lost my two daughter because of my condition.
This Five Finger Death Punch video pretty much explains what I’m going through and any one else in my position.
I was an eod tech and served in Iraq and Afghanistan. I know the pain of losing teammates, it doesn’t go away. You have to find ways to cope, mine was going back also. I did 4 tours but it never got easier
can u react to more NF?..
Blue Chicago Moon by Songs:Ohia saved my life once…it’s a song this channel might appreciate. No one knows like someone who’s been there and Jason molina the songwriter certainly was.
I miss my friends…
For me The Offspring version is so much better. This version feels flat and emotionless. Also the song had nothing to do with war. That is just a FFDP thing. They seem to ads war to every song and it makes the songs and videos too repetitive.
I am a vet from the times of 9/11 attacks.
