Military Experts Rate 21 Military Battles In Movies And TV | How Real Is It? | Insider

I love Andy’s textbook denial of the top secret underwater trident combat program. We know you guys fight with them. You don’t have to deny it anymore.

Imagine how many lives that trauma surgeon saved. God Bless that man

Fun fact: the filming of the airborne drop sequence of "A Bridge Too Far" was actually conducted by the UK 1st Airborne Division. So, the reason it looked so authentic is because it was done using actual Airborne troops, wearing authentic WW2 style chutes, wearing WW2 style uniforms and gear (including helmets and boots) from actual C46 aircraft. The scenes filmed from the point of view of the Airborne soldier was actually a former Paratrooper who jumped with the camera strapped to him. I seem to remember reading that they had a couple of authentic injuries on the jump, too, broken bones and such.

Andy's humbleness really is admirable. Andy wasn't just a Navy Seal. He was DEVGRU, Seal Team Six.

My biases are showing but the former military surgeon, Dr. Rhee, was fascinating. I’m in medicine but in a far far far different field. I’m in geriatrics, so I deal with a lot of joy but also a lot of death. For Dr. Rhee speaking about confirming death in a hurry, really struck me.

These military experts certainly open up our eyes to an even bigger reality that we may not be fully aware of. It's just fascinating to hear their perspectives.

I love listening to these veterans not just for their content but for their verbal and bodily communication in how they describe the contents explained.

My grandfather is a combat vet in Veitnam. He said when guys came up or back from a patrol. They would donate blood on the spot. Giving blood in an active combat situation. I thought that was a crazy and surreal story.

This feels like a compilation of something that I have seen already..

I love Nicholas Moran. He just loves tanks so much that he doesnt care which film is on, if its got a tank he can find an upside and a reason to watch it. Plus i agree, Kellys Heros is a true masterpiece.

Big respect to medics! My Great Uncle was awarded a Bronze Star for saving 8 of 10 people he treated while under sniper fire on the first and while being ambushed the 2nd time. It was his 2nd BSM in Vietnam while serving with the 1st Infantry and 18th Engineers. Much respect!

By far the most accurate part of Under Siege, is that Steven Seagal knows everything about everything: A SEAL that knows how to cook, fire gunnery on a battleship, ALL of the martial arts, as well as nuclear physics...yep, they nailed it.

I love how you can see the excitement of a ten year-old boy seeping through the Admiral's ironclad demeanor, as he discusses the armor on those WWII ships.

Whoever's running the show at Insider knows what the people want. Good supercut

I was a Navy Search and Rescue Medical Technician supporting HMM-365 / RCT-7 during the invasion of Iraq in 2007. I was on aircraft that landed under fire, within a stone throw of an active shoot out, to evacuate casualties. Other Corpsmen in I MEF CASEVAC reported similar experiences.

The soldiers that were there have already confirmed that Hacksaw Ridge was realistic, and that the soldiers heroics that we saw in the film were true.

22:00 I was a professional fireworks-technician. Once I saw a guy, very muscular, about 330 lbs knocked out from the muzzle-flash of an 4 inch-firework. Afterwards he told me, it was like the hardest hit, he ever got into his stomach. Pretty obvious it was very dumb to stand so close.

Andy Stumpf is dropping knowledge?? I'm sold.

Hacksaw Ridge really caught the brutality of war and soldiers who were already suffering from PTSD. When Ghoul asks a soldier what the front is like, he already had the 1000 yard stare and just said "they are animals".

How can you not love the SEAL'S sense of humour 😍😂 You just know his unit had abs of steel from all the laughing.
