Who all just randomly got this video on their recommendation in 2020 ??

That lady went through every single emotion in the first 10 seconds

Props to the lady she is the first person in the history of fainting that actually reacted in time and grabbed the guy instead of just watching him fall like everybody else before her in every other fainting video that I’ve seen.

The stress these men got going on must be outrageous. Hope he's OK

[real_armadillo]

He must have seen the bill for the F-35.

Legend has it that the general faked his faint to remove himself from the boring press conference

[lolollolol]

they handled that very calmly and professional, almost stoic. all the best from germany

[peterlong]

He didn't faint, his battery was just low

Him: "these edibles ain't strong"

Nice to see his team being so caring and immediately helpful and compassionate, hope he was all good and just had a random faint

[MichaelKensinger]

I suffered from vasovagal syncope which caused me to faint in situations of anxiety. It is absolutely terrifying, and puts life into a whole new perspective. I feel this man’s pain. Thankfully it has been a year and a half since I last fainted.

Fainting is one of the worst feelings specially when you come back

[ziauddinsiddiqui]

The guy probably saw his electricity bill during the heat wave.

I was in the military for 9 1/2 years and so many hours doing drills and ceremonies and standing at attention in formations and what they always tell you is don't lock your knees, because this will happen for sure. Glad's he was ok and so many there to care for him.

really nice to see everyone helping. good people.

In the backroom, general: "Did it look real? I don't wanna hear her 3 hour speech."

[commiegirl]

I love how they just hold him at the podium like he's still going to speak.

[youngpepe]

That was the most professional thing I ever seen I love his colleagues were there to help him

[JarethTheGoblinKingForever]

Poor man. I'm glad to see his colleagues responded quickly and treated him with dignity.

The person holding him up seemed like nervous laughter, but the person in the background that laughed really loud was just weird, lmao.
