Commando Crow: 00:00:00

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty

Commando Crow: 00:00:16

and justice for all.

Commando Crow: 00:00:16

Good morning, Americans.

Commando Crow: 00:00:17

It is a privilege to live in the only country in the world where we can breathe.

Commando Crow: 00:00:21

We are on episode 32 and we welcome you and of course our guest host, Senior Chief O.

Commando Crow: 00:00:26

U.

Commando Crow: 00:00:27

Neal.

Commando Crow: 00:00:27

And today we're talking about military and American pride.

Commando Crow: 00:00:31

And we encourage you to share your thoughts on this subject by emailing us at podcasts at constitutioncommanders.

Commando Crow: 00:00:36

org.

Commando Crow: 00:00:37

My name is Chris Williams.

Commando Crow: 00:00:39

I'm the host.

Commando Crow: 00:00:39

My brother Patrick Williams is co host.

Commando Crow: 00:00:42

And we are the Constitution Commanders.

Commando Crow: 00:00:44

Ronald Reagan told a story one time about these three dogs in an alleyway.

Commando Crow: 00:00:49

One was an American dog, one was a German dog, one was a Russian dog.

Commando Crow: 00:00:53

They was scrounging around trying to find food and the American dog finally said, Man, I wish I was at home right now.

Commando Crow: 00:00:59

All I'd have to do is bark and I could eat.

Commando Crow: 00:01:01

And the German dog said, what's eat?

Commando Crow: 00:01:04

And the Russian dog said, what's bark?

Commando Crow: 00:01:08

It sounds funny, but in reality, I mean, we have been spoiled.

Commando Crow: 00:01:12

I mean, in America, we just about snap our fingers and get what we want.

Commando Crow: 00:01:15

Right.

Commando Crow: 00:01:16

I mean, compared to other countries, even some of the other countries that are the better countries, they don't have what we have.

Commando Crow: 00:01:23

And, you know, back to the military thing.

Commando Crow: 00:01:25

I think if you're a male child graduating high school and you haven't already enrolled in college.

Commando Crow: 00:01:31

Your next step is bootcamp.

Commando Crow: 00:01:33

I think every male in this country ought to serve.

Commando Crow: 00:01:37

You know, I don't think that's a harsh thing to say.

Commando Crow: 00:01:39

Look, when I left bootcamp, I was like, man, everybody needs to do this.

Commando Crow: 00:01:42

Was it easy?

Commando Crow: 00:01:43

No.

Commando Crow: 00:01:44

Was it fun?

Commando Crow: 00:01:45

Not all the time.

Commando Crow: 00:01:46

The bottom line is, what I was getting in bootcamp, I realized was stuff I should have learned when I was growing up.

Commando Crow: 00:01:53

For whatever reason, I didn't.

Commando Crow: 00:01:55

Most of it was conscious decision.

Commando Crow: 00:01:56

I didn't trust my parents enough to listen to them, so I didn't.

Commando Crow: 00:02:01

Now, when I got to bootcamp, I was like, man, everybody ought to get this.

Commando Crow: 00:02:06

I mean, I'm looking at it like this is the biggest Christmas present I ever got.

Commando Crow: 00:02:09

Everybody needs this, but I think if nothing else, all males should be required.

Commando Crow: 00:02:14

It should be a requirement, but this is America.

Commando Crow: 00:02:17

We don't have to have requirements like that.

Commando Crow: 00:02:20

However.

Commando Crow: 00:02:21

What I'm seeing in America today and what we dealt with in the military.

Commando Crow: 00:02:25

I mean, we dealt with bureaucracy and red tape, right?

Commando Crow: 00:02:28

But what I see out here in America is what we used to call civilian pukes.

Commando Crow: 00:02:32

And when I got my first job out of the military, I took this job at office depot because the general manager was a retired army guy to assistant managers were retired Navy.

Commando Crow: 00:02:43

I was like, Oh yeah, I'm going to be right at home here.

Commando Crow: 00:02:46

I didn't talk to a couple of customers before I was ready to string somebody up.

Commando Crow: 00:02:51

And I'm thinking, what the hell's wrong with me?

Commando Crow: 00:02:52

I never went to combat.

Commando Crow: 00:02:54

I never went overseas.

Commando Crow: 00:02:55

I mean, why am I acting like this, right?

Commando Crow: 00:02:57

And, you know, when Patrick came home, it was, I mean, he was still high, strong, and he's hard to talk to when he first got out of the Army.

Commando Crow: 00:03:04

But, I

Commando Crow: 00:03:05

All American Commando: still hadn't rotated back, and I've been 21

Commando Crow: 00:03:07

years out.

Commando Crow: 00:03:08

Yeah, but the thing is, it's like, even then, when I'm first getting out, and I'm seeing the way these civilians act, I'm like, y'all are some nasty motherfuckers.

Commando Crow: 00:03:16

So I think that all males should go in, males especially.

Commando Crow: 00:03:20

I think it ought to be mandatory for males, but you know, I think it should too, but at least if we mandate the males to go in, the rest of society will start to come back to what it was, or at least some level of appreciation.

Commando Crow: 00:03:31

I mean, look, when we're talking college level kids being taught to hate America, something's wrong with that.

Commando Crow: 00:03:38

But see,

Commando Joe: 00:03:39

Patrick, you talked about a while ago, you know, the deterioration of the American spirit.

Commando Joe: 00:03:44

Okay.

Commando Joe: 00:03:45

Yeah, once you go in once you go into the military, you know, I think this is something that could be used to revitalize the American spirit because you're going to come out and you're going to be loud and proud, you know,

Commando Joe: 00:03:56

Oh, yeah, be American, you know, Oh, yeah, and it's got to, you know, all my, you know, all my all my all my family and I knew what I was going to do, you know, and I was already great.

Commando Joe: 00:04:14

Had the American spirit, but it just multiplied it by a million, you know,

Commando Crow: 00:04:18

right?

Commando Crow: 00:04:19

Well, I think going to the military gives you that appreciation for where you live and it gives you know, what's that flag for?

Commando Joe: 00:04:30

You know, what does it really stand

Commando Crow: 00:04:32

for?

Commando Crow: 00:04:33

Well, that's, that's what I ask people all the time, because I, you know, I think people just look at that flag sometimes and see red, white and blue.

Commando Crow: 00:04:39

And I'm like, do you even know that flag actually has a meaning is it, they didn't just, you know, tie 13 stripes together and put 50 stars on a blue field.

Commando Crow: 00:04:50

There's a reason that flag was designed that way.

Commando Crow: 00:04:53

Most people do not know what it's for.

Commando Crow: 00:04:55

As a matter of fact, to be honest, I didn't know until I got to bootcamp.

Commando Crow: 00:05:00

I didn't know all those years sitting, you know, like I sat with granddaddy a lot.

Commando Crow: 00:05:05

I didn't, but when I was sitting with granddaddy to watch a football game and a national anthem would come on, I never understood why he cried over the national anthem.

Commando Crow: 00:05:11

It was just the national anthem was what I was thinking.

Commando Crow: 00:05:14

But after being in the military and knowing what that flag represents, knowing more about what this country went through to become what it is, I know now why he cried at the national anthem.

Commando Crow: 00:05:25

Now you want to

Commando Crow: 00:05:27

All American Commando: be doing the national anthem?

Commando Crow: 00:05:28

Yeah, but he lost a lot of brothers under that flag, Davey.

Commando Crow: 00:05:31

He

Commando Crow: 00:05:32

did.

Commando Crow: 00:05:32

That's what I'm saying.

Commando Crow: 00:05:33

I didn't understand it.

Commando Crow: 00:05:34

Of course, you remember, I don't know how many times you asked Granddaddy about what the Army was like.

Commando Crow: 00:05:39

I didn't ask him about the war.

Commando Crow: 00:05:40

I just wanted to know about what the Army was like.

Commando Crow: 00:05:43

He never answered that question.

Commando Crow: 00:05:45

Until one day, we were about to watch a football game.

Commando Crow: 00:05:47

I thought he was going to the bathroom.

Commando Crow: 00:05:50

He went up in the attic and came back with a box.

Commando Crow: 00:05:52

He sat down on the floor.

Commando Crow: 00:05:54

He said, Boy, you want to know about the Army?

Commando Crow: 00:05:55

It's in that box.

Commando Crow: 00:05:57

I didn't know what was in the box, but when I opened the top of that box, I saw the shadow box with, I think it was a bronze star, two purple hearts, or something else.

Commando Crow: 00:06:05

I saw the purple hearts and I said, oh shit, now I know.

Commando Crow: 00:06:09

I mean, I didn't know anything.

Commando Crow: 00:06:10

I just knew why he didn't talk about it, because talking about the army meant he had to talk about the war.

Commando Crow: 00:06:15

And when I saw the two purple hearts, I was like, oh wow.

Commando Crow: 00:06:18

You know,

Commando Joe: 00:06:18

in World War II, they was losing 2, 000 men a day.

Commando Joe: 00:06:22

Yeah.

Commando Joe: 00:06:23

Yep.

Commando Joe: 00:06:23

You had a lot of gold star families, you know, and my grandfather talked about World War II, reluctantly.

Commando Joe: 00:06:32

He was a Marine, you know, and he was in the, in the, in the Pacific, man, you know, Water Canal, Iwo Jima, and he passed that knowledge down when he felt like I was old enough to start to understand.

Commando Joe: 00:06:50

About what he did, but he talked more about the friends that he left, the brothers that died with him, you know, and nobody had to tell us to

Commando Joe: 00:06:58

stand up when I was growing up at a football game and they started playing the national anthem, you got up, you

Commando Joe: 00:07:05

All American Commando: put,

Commando Crow: 00:07:05

if you didn't back then, you probably got ousted, you

Commando Joe: 00:07:08

know, you took your hat off, you invocation.

Commando Crow: 00:07:18

People would still be like, hey, hey, shut up, man, they're doing the invocation.

Commando Crow: 00:07:20

You know what I mean?

Commando Crow: 00:07:21

I don't care who you were, I didn't care how fat you look, get your ass up, they're doing the invocation.

Commando Crow: 00:07:27

Yeah, you

Commando Joe: 00:07:27

know, you got these sumbitches now that won't, you know, get down on the ground and bow and stuff and take a knee if they want to, you know, fuck you, man.

Commando Joe: 00:07:34

Somebody down the line didn't teach you what the value of being American is.

Commando Joe: 00:07:39

Y'all ought to be proud to stand up.

Commando Joe: 00:07:41

I've been in a lot of places around the world and wherever you go, you go to FOB someplace, you know, Operating base.

Commando Joe: 00:07:49

And you see that flag flying, I got, it makes you feel proud and you know, I mean, you just feel like,

Commando Crow: 00:07:56

okay, well, not just I'm a part of something, but I'm a part of something great, right?

Commando Crow: 00:08:01

That

Commando Joe: 00:08:01

flag is flying, you know, let you know, the Americans are here,

Commando Crow: 00:08:06

you know, and around the world up until two and a half years ago, especially when other countries saw that flag, they snapped and they get straight real quick.

Commando Crow: 00:08:14

I don't care what they were fucking up before we got there, but when we show up, that shit ain't happening, they looked at it with respect.

Commando Crow: 00:08:20

That's right.

Commando Crow: 00:08:21

And when Donald Trump was in the office and I'll give a damn on anybody says about Donald Trump at this point, but they get mad or they try to say Donald Trump and And, Putin, all their best friends, Trump must be communist.

Commando Crow: 00:08:36

No, Trump understood one thing you have to respect.

Commando Crow: 00:08:40

I mean, Patrick, didn't that teach us this in martial arts?

Commando Crow: 00:08:43

You got to respect your opponent.

Commando Crow: 00:08:45

You don't have to like him to respect him.

Commando Crow: 00:08:47

You know, of course, our dad and our grandfather, I mean, they told us never underestimate your opponent.

Commando Crow: 00:08:53

You never underestimate them.

Commando Crow: 00:08:54

You don't know what they know.

Commando Crow: 00:08:56

You don't know what they might be able to do.

Commando Crow: 00:08:57

You don't know where they are in their head right now.

Commando Crow: 00:08:59

So Donald Trump understood this and he knew it very well.

Commando Crow: 00:09:02

And he let Putin know what his terms were.

Commando Crow: 00:09:04

Putin let him know what his terms were.

Commando Crow: 00:09:07

That develops.

Commando Crow: 00:09:09

Solid and I'm going to say hardcore relationships because now there's an element of trust mutual mutual trust and even with the Chinese leader, there wasn't a mutual level of trust there, but that

Commando Crow: 00:09:21

Chinese leader over there was pretty much scared to shit in the morning because he didn't know if Trump was going to blow his toilet up, but at the same time, there was a mutual respect there, right?

Commando Crow: 00:09:31

Yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:09:31

Well, uh,

Commando Crow: 00:09:32

All American Commando: well, another part of this is another basic fact.

Commando Crow: 00:09:35

You're a world leader.

Commando Crow: 00:09:36

They're world leaders.

Commando Crow: 00:09:38

They're going to be there long after you're gone.

Commando Crow: 00:09:41

We have four year terms and, there, there's nothing you can do about their presence.

Commando Crow: 00:09:48

So you've got to deal with them.

Commando Crow: 00:09:50

You might as well do the best you can.

Commando Crow: 00:09:55

I wouldn't say the best you can.

Commando Crow: 00:09:56

I say you better do what's right.

Commando Crow: 00:09:58

You

Commando Crow: 00:09:58

All American Commando: know, cause I'm saying to one prevent conflict.

Commando Crow: 00:10:05

Two, you need to be able to identify common goals and work together towards those common goals,

Commando Crow: 00:10:12

even if it means staying away from each other.

Commando Crow: 00:10:14

All American Commando: Well, yeah, but no two people in any relationship.

Commando Crow: 00:10:18

I don't care if you're neighbors or teammates or whatever squad members, I don't care.

Commando Crow: 00:10:25

You're not going to get along with everything.

Commando Crow: 00:10:27

So to avoid conflict.

Commando Crow: 00:10:31

You have got to state common goals and work together to achieve those goals.

Commando Crow: 00:10:37

Establish some type of a relationship.

Commando Crow: 00:10:40

And I don't see, but.

Commando Crow: 00:10:44

See, that kind of goes along with the, you know, the environment of our country today, people that don't like Trump because of his tweets, they totally put

Commando Crow: 00:10:58

the blinders on about his policies, his policies were good, but because they didn't like his tweets, they hate him.

Commando Crow: 00:11:06

It doesn't matter about.

Commando Crow: 00:11:07

And, and you can't go through life like that, you know, and I think that was one of the things that Trump did that the deep state really hated about him was because everybody in the deep

Commando Crow: 00:11:20

state, well, one wasn't approaching our enemies or our world adversaries like Trump did and try to work to a common goal to maintain peace, the deep state has been known by these other leaders.

Commando Crow: 00:11:38

To know that our leaders before Trump and after Trump, they have something up their sleeve.

Commando Crow: 00:11:44

They're conniving.

Commando Crow: 00:11:45

They're not being honest and upright forthright.

Commando Crow: 00:11:48

They're, they got something else in mind and they know automatically we're adversaries.

Commando Crow: 00:11:56

So what they have in mind is not good for us.

Commando Crow: 00:12:00

You know, Trump, I mean, you got to extend that olive branch.

Commando Crow: 00:12:04

Yeah, well, yeah, and that's true.

Commando Crow: 00:12:06

And say the other thing about Trump was.

Commando Crow: 00:12:08

I think this is what originally got a lot of world leaders really skittish about Trump because they'd never dealt with somebody and said, look, this is just the way it's going to be.

Commando Crow: 00:12:18

And once he made his mind up, that was it.

Commando Crow: 00:12:21

And like you were saying, Patrick, with these other leaders that we've had, they know they, they got an ulterior motive.

Commando Crow: 00:12:27

And that gives every world leader, okay, well, let's see what they do here.

Commando Crow: 00:12:31

Let's push this button right here.

Commando Crow: 00:12:32

Cause he's not being straight up.

Commando Crow: 00:12:34

Right.

Commando Crow: 00:12:34

I mean, China has been doing it now for the last year, sending their battleships and cruisers right in front of our aircraft carriers and do it doing donuts in the ocean, just to see if they can get a rise out of us.

Commando Crow: 00:12:44

How about flying spy balloons all the way across country?

Commando Crow: 00:12:47

That's what they do.

Commando Crow: 00:12:48

I mean, they're going to check you as a world leader.

Commando Crow: 00:12:50

You're going to be checked all the time with Donald Trump.

Commando Crow: 00:12:53

I think they were a little nervous about checking him because they didn't know.

Commando Crow: 00:12:57

A lot of world leaders just didn't know what Trump was going to be about as a president.

Commando Crow: 00:13:00

They knew him as a contractor or as a businessman.

Commando Crow: 00:13:04

And really, I think that was probably one of the best things I saw once he got elected because I didn't know how he's going to be with Israel.

Commando Crow: 00:13:11

And that's always my top concern.

Commando Crow: 00:13:14

What are our relations going to be with Israel, with this president?

Commando Crow: 00:13:17

When I heard Benjamin Netanyahu say, Oh, I think it's great that he became president.

Commando Crow: 00:13:21

We're great friends.

Commando Crow: 00:13:21

And I was like, you know what I mean?

Commando Crow: 00:13:25

These other world leaders didn't know Donald Trump.

Commando Crow: 00:13:28

You know, how's he going to be as a president?

Commando Crow: 00:13:29

I mean, that's the most powerful man in the world.

Commando Crow: 00:13:31

They say they didn't know he's not a politician.

Commando Crow: 00:13:35

So that kind of kept them.

Commando Crow: 00:13:36

I put them on their heels really, I think, but

Commando Crow: 00:13:40

All American Commando: when he said 26 fucking.

Commando Crow: 00:13:42

Missiles in the fucking Syria while they were eating dinner.

Commando Crow: 00:13:47

Well,

Commando Crow: 00:13:47

what about the, was it the Taliban leader that Donald Trump told me that you touch one hair on my soldier's head and I know you've been fighting all your life, but I will rain hell down on your doorstep like you can't imagine.

Commando Crow: 00:14:02

He said, really?

Commando Crow: 00:14:02

And then in an interview, I was like, well, is it true, Mr.

Commando Crow: 00:14:07

Trump, that you sent him the grid coordinates of his house?

Commando Crow: 00:14:10

He said, no, I sent him a picture of his house.

Commando Crow: 00:14:16

I mean, he learned real quick, Donald Trump wasn't playing, but then you get somebody like Joe bag of dicks, Biden over there to G20 summit, and you got a French emissary standing over and screaming and pointing his head and Biden cowering down.

Commando Crow: 00:14:30

No, he's the son of a bitch that needs to go ride a bicycle with no damn shoes and shorts.

Commando Crow: 00:14:35

Forget the helmet.

Commando Joe: 00:14:36

Yeah.

Commando Joe: 00:14:37

And you know, Biden, he's trying to undermine the The military, I lost count on how many change of command.

Commando Joe: 00:14:43

Oh, it was hundreds of them.

Commando Joe: 00:14:43

I mean, they're relieving their, I mean, just not the Navy army, Air Force, Marine Corps, you know, and these people, you see this taking their place, if you just do a little bit and I know there's not supposed

Commando Joe: 00:14:56

to be no, you know, we're not supposed to be political in the military, but everybody's got an agenda and you can see if you start digging just a little bit.

Commando Joe: 00:15:05

Cause I was talking to Chris, I said, you see all these people that's being, you know, relieved of duty?

Commando Crow: 00:15:10

Yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:15:11

I was asking Patrick about that after he showed you.

Commando Crow: 00:15:12

I said, damn, man,

Commando Joe: 00:15:14

I ain't never seen nothing like

Commando Crow: 00:15:15

this.

Commando Crow: 00:15:16

You know?

Commando Crow: 00:15:16

Yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:15:16

Military wide.

Commando Crow: 00:15:17

And we're talking hundreds and hundreds of people at all command levels just being removed for whatever reason.

Commando Crow: 00:15:23

Worldwide.

Commando Crow: 00:15:26

Reduced to nothing.

Commando Crow: 00:15:27

And, and you said most of the people that got put in their place, even, even in the place, in the position where there needs to be some kind of, you know, war training involved and these people were coming out of supply.

Commando Crow: 00:15:41

All American Commando: Well, one of the, I can speak for the army.

Commando Crow: 00:15:44

I don't know about the Navy, but I mean, you know, coming out of war during World War II, I think there was four, four star generals, entire army.

Commando Crow: 00:15:53

And, now we have like.

Commando Crow: 00:15:55

I don't even remember, man, it's, it's what?

Commando Crow: 00:15:57

What did he tell

Commando Crow: 00:15:58

about the Navy?

Commando Crow: 00:15:59

It's supposed to be four, four star admirals in the Navy, and I think it's like 371 you said now?

Commando Joe: 00:16:04

Yeah, four 10

Commando Joe: 00:16:06

All American Commando: the other day.

Commando Joe: 00:16:07

Yeah, it's 400 and something generous.

Commando Joe: 00:16:09

Why do you

Commando Crow: 00:16:09

need that?

Commando Crow: 00:16:10

Four stars?

Commando Crow: 00:16:12

I mean, why do you

Commando Crow: 00:16:13

All American Commando: need that many?

Commando Crow: 00:16:14

They're probably two and up, but either way it's still considered a staff officer, so yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:16:20

That's, I think,

Commando Joe: 00:16:21

I think there was only in World War ii there was only, what, 12 four Star Generals?

Commando Joe: 00:16:26

All American Commando: No.

Commando Joe: 00:16:26

Four , huh?

Commando Joe: 00:16:27

Yeah.

Commando Joe: 00:16:28

Four.

Commando Joe: 00:16:28

Yeah.

Commando Joe: 00:16:29

It

Commando Crow: 00:16:29

was only, that was the Army.

Commando Crow: 00:16:30

I don't know what, I don't know what the other branches had.

Commando Crow: 00:16:33

Yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:16:33

But still,

Commando Joe: 00:16:34

I mean, yeah, but, and that's not counting the, the joint, joint chiefs of staff.

Commando Joe: 00:16:39

Right.

Commando Crow: 00:16:40

Yeah.

Commando Crow: 00:16:40

Well, you know, I don't know why we need them.

Commando Crow: 00:16:43

And it's probably the same answer is why do we need all of these, places like the NSA, CIA, FBI, I mean, they're violating

Commando Joe: 00:16:52

their own law that they created on that, you know, it's

Commando Crow: 00:16:55

sad.

Commando Crow: 00:16:56

All American Commando: They don't need them.

Commando Crow: 00:16:57

And DHS, DHS needs, well they need to also absolve the Patriot Act, completely get rid of it.

Commando Crow: 00:17:04

Exactly.

Commando Crow: 00:17:04

And everything that was created with the induction of the Patriot Act needs to be eradicated.

Commando Crow: 00:17:09

TSA, DHS, all of this shit needs to be gone.

Commando Crow: 00:17:13

I mean, you can look at the success rate.

Commando Crow: 00:17:16

of both of those agencies alone, and they're both abysmal.

Commando Crow: 00:17:20

I can't tell you how many passengers aborted commercial aircraft with loaded pistols and they made it.

Commando Crow: 00:17:25

They weren't detected until they got off of the plane.

Commando Crow: 00:17:29

So you don't want somebody on the aircraft with a gun and y'all didn't catch it.

Commando Crow: 00:17:35

They caught it when they were leaving the aircraft.

Commando Crow: 00:17:37

And then you want to talk about DHS.

Commando Crow: 00:17:40

How many people?

Commando Crow: 00:17:41

I mean, well, the number is unknown.

Commando Crow: 00:17:44

They already Well, I'm sure they're under reporting that number also.

Commando Crow: 00:17:48

Known terrorists that have come across the southern border and DHS has done nothing.

Commando Crow: 00:17:53

So, those are evident, examples right there.

Commando Crow: 00:17:58

Their youthfulness has been used up.

Commando Crow: 00:18:00

They have no, no reason to exist.

Commando Crow: 00:18:03

I don't think they had a reason to exist to begin with.

Commando Crow: 00:18:05

I mean, along with the Patriot Act, I don't think that ever should have been signed into law.

Commando Crow: 00:18:09

Mainly because of what the Patriot Act takes away from the American people.

Commando Crow: 00:18:12

And I don't give a damn what they say about, this is for your protection.

Commando Crow: 00:18:15

Fuck you and my protection.

Commando Crow: 00:18:17

I'll protect myself, you know, I got friends and family.

Commando Crow: 00:18:21

We will stand on our own.

Commando Crow: 00:18:22

We got to be like that.

Commando Crow: 00:18:24

I mean, yeah, you know, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, all these people you youngsters probably never even heard of.

Commando Crow: 00:18:32

They put together something called The Constitution of the United States, which didn't get signed until 1789, I mean, it signed ratified.

Commando Crow: 00:18:41

It had to be 100 percent approved to be ratified and the holdout states wouldn't sign it until there were certain amendments put in place to secure what was in the Constitution.

Commando Crow: 00:18:52

One of those being the Second Amendment and that Second Amendment is not there just so you can own a bunch of guns.

Commando Crow: 00:18:59

The Second Amendment is in place because if this country ever had to go to war, the government would call on the people to band together to go fight, bring all the weapons you got.

Commando Crow: 00:19:11

And anybody who wants to challenge that, come and see a few rednecks.

Commando Crow: 00:19:14

All American Commando: Well, that also prevented the Emperor of Japan in World War II from invading America.

Commando Crow: 00:19:19

That's right.

Commando Crow: 00:19:19

Because he wanted to, he was trying to give the order to his head general and his general said,

Commando Crow: 00:19:25

hell no, there's a gun

Commando Crow: 00:19:27

All American Commando: behind every blade of grass.

Commando Crow: 00:19:30

You want to anchor the sleeping giant.

Commando Crow: 00:19:33

That's why they didn't invade.

Commando Crow: 00:19:35
