[stevemarshall]

I don't understand why people think war is other than this. Sherman said it over a century ago.

[frjohnssc]

I served as a reservist from 71 to 2012 the last 20 years as a chaplain. I never went overseas but have spoken with many who have. This lady speaks truth. I remember going to A"combat operational stress course" with the Americans. We had the top brain researchers for instructors. They stated this stress caused brain damage and there was much to learn. ( mostly talked about diagnosing and managing not cure) When i got back to Canada I was not allowed to present this information and a social worker officer had to be with me if i made a presentation as Canadian doctrine at least then, stated that PTSD was not a brain injury and departing from that position was not allowed. After all a brain injury would mean u were wounded and cost the Gov't more. MAID is evil beyond words. Having to deal with trauma is its own trauma. Her opbservation are painfully true. I would thank her for her service. She is making a difference. Sometimes it feels like one is screaming into the dark but evan a tiny light destroys the dark.

[rmrogers]

I was a United States Navy Hospital Corpsman with the United States Marines (I was a Combat Medic for those trying to understand). I did multiple Combat tours in the Middle East and other places.

1. I will never be the same (I served 22 years and retired). MY Marines didn't come home the way we deployed.
2. There's NOTHING good, glorious or sensational about war or armed conflict.
3. The ONLY reason for these conflicts is for the wealthy to get wealthier, and the Military Industrial Complex to make more money.
4. Politics, Religion, Money, and Arrogance is the root of these conflicts.
5. ALL economic levels should go to these conflicts (yes, those rich, spoiled no loads).
6. Politician's sons and daughters must be drafted when there's an armed conflict to augment those in the fray. (This will definitely be the beginning of alternatives to combat).
7. The United States (Incorporatedl) MUST stop funding armed conflict and other countries problems.
8. The Global Countries MUST have better solutions instead of Wars and Armed Conflicts when there are problems. Think, problem solve, and develop alternatives instead of killing.
9 LIFE, ALL LIVES ARE PRECIOUS.
10. I still see, hear, smell, taste and feel everything that was in the firefights.
11. Contrary to what you may think, you leave the battlefield but the battlefield doesn't leave you.

More, more, more and even more information must be told about what armed conflict is ALL about.

Please don't forget us. Politician's have, they see us as disposable.

[ḵulagaaw]

I'm a U.S. combat veteran very accurate and well said on all points she spoke well for all of us.

[jmsmeier]

I’m a USMC combat vet, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more accurate perspective of combat.

[tomhall]

It warms this old Nam vets heart to see a badass interview from a badass warrior woman. She changed my view of women in the shit. Even though the jury is still out about having women up front, Kelsi opened my eyes a little wider. I hope that the Goose Gov does not go after her for her honesty and saying what people need to hear.
I am anti war, but if you are going to go to war, end the war as soon as possible by any means necessary. Otherwise, sit down and shut up!

[pharcyde]

I once heard an IRA commander being interviewed, he stated "you don't have to be the biggest, strongest or fastest to win, you just need the will to do what the other man won't"

[jonathanhill]

14:20 ish; "It's really hard to fight an enemy that values death over life."
That is the most straightforward and succinct way of describing the conflicts in the middle east that I have ever heard.

[twofargne]

I was in the military for 4 years during Vietnam. Any person who easily talks about killing another human being has never been to war; war is hell on earth. When you see someone hit by machine gun fire or someone steps on IED, it rips the human body to shreds. It's horrible. Governments wage wars. The military does what the government orders them to do. However, men/women in the military fight for the soldier next us, behind us, and in front of us; we fight for each other - that's how we stay alive.

[warrenfroggatt]

I'm an old Marine vet and can relate to this story. All generations must relearn what the generations before them learned. Nothing said was not already learned and known. The generations before her including my generation had the same experience, talks, and thoughts. It is the nature of young humans to tolerate violence and for leadership to exploit it. On the flip side, as long as their are aggressors we must defend ourselves. Just wish we would do a better job of letting others settle their own disputes.

[RomanGolubev_A]

The most important is "they are willing to do what we are not willing to do"

[corey]

"If you think it's so easy, you go do it, send your kids" Exactly!

[apatheticallyconcerned]

I've tried to tell people about the rape of those Afghan boys AND that their families lend their sons out for it, but nobody ever believes me.

[CentralBankofTruth]

Everything she says is on point. I was a young bleeding heart liberal before I joined the Marines. Two deployments and over a dozen firefights later and I did a complete 180 on nearly everything I believed. Two of my brothers ultimately took their own lives because of what we saw. I don't regret my experience at all, but it changes you.

[sofabuddha]

I could listen to this person for hours. Articulate, compassionate, knowledgeable and passionate. Its made me realise how important triggernometry is, so hi from your newest member.

[tonyp]

This woman is incredible. Such wisdom and honesty. One of the best videos I have ever seen.

[ivanaandric]

As a child who grew up during the war in ex. Jugoslavia she is 100% on. Not only by me but by all my family members that are combat veterans. The mental transition from war back to "civilization" is excruciating to say the least.. And yes, rich ppl never send their kids to war, not even to defend their own country on it's own soil!!!

[henryhenderson]

As a sixth generation war fighter I’d like to throw in my two cents for what it’s worth. My dad wanted me to go to college. I would have had anger not gripped me after his passing before I graduated high school. There is no glory in war. Everything done there is forgotten including how you and your friends die. How your friends are abandoned to die. Every picture sent back to your people will be forever forgotten but will be forever repeated in your memory. That is what they’re selling. And no one will care for what you suffer the rest of your life if you survive it. This is the cost of war and the cost is apparently priceless because the world keeps buying more.

[heartlandhawk]

A SOF guy once said to me "We have the watches, but they have the time." He got that they knew that all they (the enemy} would have to do is outlast us, and attrit us to the point we would leave.
