Right here

Bro copy and pasted the other comment and changed the years 💀

Yep

Just barely watches it. so nice

Remember when NCIS was so nice...

+janetranslates i was gonna upvote this when i noticed that i had already done so

Ha! Thanks for the thought anyway, Jesper. "Call of Silence" is 5 notches above all the other episodes, in my book.

It's Olsen, but a great comment!

Tom Constance Thank you. It was a great episode. And I'm glad for the spelling correction.

It's a sickness of mine haha

Here. That scene always gives me chills and a feeling of someone chopping onions nearby - and I say that proudly. May not be American, but hey, without the US/Allied in WW2, my country would be speaking Russian, soooo.

Yup, I keep coming back. One my top episodes!

Me

What gives me chills is when they read the citation for the guy's CMH. Absolutely bonechilling, and it makes you pause to think what went on there, at least it does me.

2022

As they should.....

As somebody who served I can tell you the odds of meeting a living recipient of the Medal of Honor are slim at best. Most are awarded posthumously.

​@@draecynreidy6018 Kyle Carpenter is the youngest living Medal of Honour recipient, having received it when he was 24. If you haven't heard his story, look him up. Amazing!

@@draecynreidy6018According to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, only 18.5% of the Medals were awarded posthumously. There are currently four recipients who are still on active duty, so meeting one of them would be a career highlight.

Not a requirement per any law or regulation, BUT .... everyone WILL salute an MOH winner regardless as a matter of respect. The fact that they're not required to but everyone does anyways, makes it even more awesome of a tradition.

It bears mentioning that Charles got the Silver Star for his actions in Europe during World War Two.

The episode about a suvivor of the USS Arizona is also great

Agree,i had tears at the end

AND a bronze star, ....... AND TWO purple Hearts.

And he is buried in Arlington.

I thought he had received three Purple Hearts. As well as the Silver Star and Bronze Star.

Charles was a real life badass

He got it for the Battle of the Bulge. There was a morning show DJ in my area who got one himself for the same battle.

The woman just stood fast, she did not salute him.

Walter D Wormack I always loved the little smirk the corporal gets when the marines salute him.

That is not a button that is one of the highest awards known to man in the military please respect the medal of honor

@@jjsantiago733 Retired USMC Capt. Dale Dye, referred to the MoH, as "The Button", in an episode of the television series, JAG. Get the HELL OVER YOURSELF already!

@@jjsantiago733And "button" is probably an affectionate nickname.

​@@jjsantiago733...its also nicknamed the button. By those in the army.

Because they understand what that medal means.

You can see Coleman's face go from smugness to "Oh shit...!" in half a second

Darn right. They better show him respect he was fighting for them before they were a twinkle in their mom's eye

Yep they didn't know he was a decorated war hero that medal of Honor signafies who the best was and is and then the look on the commanders and the two Marines and snapping to attention saluting shows the respect that he deserves priceless

Respect above and beyond

Hasn't been one awarded that's been legitimately earned in decades. To be legitimately earned it should be during a mission that is actually honourable and not a violation of international law. The last one truly earned was probably some time in ww2.

Not to get all "Black Hawk Down" in here, but they simply put it best in that movie: Down on the field it's not about the politics, when bullets are flying all over the place. It's quite insulting and intellectually dishonest to lump real fighting men and women in with the career politicians making the decisions that lead to dishonest wars. It's not the politicians who are being awarded those medals, is it? You think some guy fighting off let's say for example 30 armed enemies with nothing but a pistol and a knife to keep his wounded buddy alive is thinking "You know now that I think of it... the true geopolitical goal of this operation is to hike up gas prices for international corporations" or is he thinking "I DONT WANT MY FRIEND SHADE9272 TO DIE!"

@@Karathos You are so right. It’s a military axiom that people don’t really fight for country or flag but they fight for the person to their left or right…..

@@shade9272 Show some respect!! It's not about who sent them or what the war was about, it's about the fact they acted above and beyond the call of duty in their actions.

@@ZATennisFan I'd say it's both.

oh, I was under the impression that under military code everybody no matter the rank they are required to salute to a MOH.

@@martinmcbrown6437 This is the way.

Even the President of the United States salutes the MOH.

Actually, members of the Air Force are required to salute any and all Medal of Honor recipients, living or otherwise.

They always told us about saluting in the USAF, when it doubt, whip it out. Worst they can do is tell you no 🤷‍♂️. But regulation or not, I see the CMOH, I'm saluting the heck out of the recipient.

fuckin a

no.fucking.way

Hoo-ahh! One of my older bros had retire from U.S. Army 22 yrs of service. Served tours in Iraq & Afghanistan.

Skillz , except at the end when Gibbs takes veteran out for sushi, and the Japanese chef turns around and veteran says "You were never on Okinawa, were you?" And old Japanese chef says "No, Guadalcanal " I cry every time I watch this episode. My Dad was a 19 yr old Navy Seabee, stationed in the South Pacific, on Okinawa AND Guadalcanal 🇺🇸

It was Iwo Jima that the chef was pretending to be from. The catch is, the MOH recipient here fought on both islands, so these two actual did fight against each other.

@Srithor to be exact: his friend was already dying and he shortend the suffering, because his screams would have alarmed the japanese patrol. The problem/arc of the episode was, that - due to his early stage of dementia - he didn't know WHY he killed his friend, only that he killed thim. And because there was evidence of a relationship issue between him, his friend and a woman who he married after the war, his assumption - and of NCIS and JAG - was, that he killed him because of the woman.

While PTSD is largely associated with military trauma, it affects us civilians too. I have PTSD. I have never seen nor heard of anyone laughing at it. Nor should they. 😷🏍💨👍

@@Godric_71 - Sorry to hear that. While the military suffers disproportionately PTSD affects people for all sorts of reasons.

@@Godric_71I too have it. From a time in my life where I was immature and naïve. It went on for a few months back in 84. I actually was told I had it by vets. I kept telling them I didn’t go to war or anything close to it. They then guessed how since I’m female and well it was bad. I had many interesting conversations with other homeless people obviously some were vets. Being homeless will give you a form of PTSD. Or something. I enjoy watching NCIS on ION on Sunday. About 12 hours of it.

Longstanding military tradition says the Medal and those who wear it are entitled to a salute first regardless of rank. Only between 30-40% of Medal recipients survive to see it awarded to them. In some wars, it's been an even smaller percentage. (As an example, in Vietnam, the most common reason by far for being awarded a Medal of Honor was to jump on a grenade and use your body to shield others from the blast.)

Which is the very thing Corporal William Kyle Carpenter did in 2010, survived it and he became a recipient of the MOH in 2014. He’s also been awarded a Purple Heart. Amazing man!

@@kettch777the Medal of Honor is usually awarded alongside a complementary flag and a pinewood box because it requires the highest levels of sacrifice.

Me too !

Me 😅

They take the protocols seriously. Also the respect.

Which one's on the right, Mary-Kate or Ashley?

Serious error there, bub! You never, NEVER, call Marines, 'soldiers'! A serious 'faux pas', to be sure! Oooh-Rah!

Rusty Harris there required by military customs to do so

and MOST MOH are given to the dead. MOH winners kids can get a free invite to any of the military academies if they want

Bruce Cox they are recipients not winners

@@brucecox5884 'You don't win the Metal of Honor, you earn it.' Gibbs.

Emily Lancman yeah, makes me teary

Frank Pendergast Makes me clap my hands

I think it is on the same level when Gibbs killed Amanda Reed in Dead Man Talking Episode

And toward the end in the interigation room when the Commander hears it, starts crying and says recommending no charges.

el clip que buscas está pero en castellano

Thats the very scene im trying to find.

You don't forget that... that's pretty much etched into your DNA in Boot Camp regardless of the Service Branch..forgetting that serial number will get you and your whole class or platoon smoked...

@J Calhoun She knew. She even mentioned it earlier when assked how the SECNAV had found out.

“Commander, this man stood tall in hell!”

I can imagine them both debating whose going to place him cuffs. Both saying no chance.

And people wonder why she was never promoted after this. Because this killed her career.

Yep it is.

Me too, and still do when I rewatch the series

I guess *"that line",* that they taught them in boot camp, back in WWII, that just *"turns the ladies into 'silly putty'"* (not to mention, the 'infamous', *Marine Corps 'CHARM'* )STILL WORKS!

Choked up? I flat out lost it ! That soldier held off chinese soldiers for hours and saved his platoon! I broke down and cried like a baby, my dad was there too!

@@ytramketsozs895 uhm... I think you mean Japanese.

And I'd bet you anything that each and every one of them, if asked, would humbly reply that they only did what needed to be done.

I've never met any MOH recipients. But I was lucky enough to to know a Victoria Cross recipient. Like you said humble men. .

I dont think I would be able to form words if I see a MOH

all military are required by law regardless of rance salute MOH reciepiants

@@robertcollett7115 No they're not. It's Military tradition.

its law

@@robertcollett7115 Cite it.

this is one episode that gave made me emotional

As a former Marine himself, Donald Bellisario, the creator of NCIS, takes great pains to "get it right" when it comes to military authenticity. Which I guess proves the saying "There is no such thing as a 'former' Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine."

Definitely. And one of the best episodes of any series.

if you look at the episode credits they are 100% real.

Didn't matter whether he was tired, frumpy, or old - ANY person who's been awarded and who wears the Medal of Honor is qualified to receive a salute - no matter what his or her rank is - from ANY other active or retired military soldier, sailor, or airman. That goes from the lowest Army grunt, to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In fact, as far as I know, the ONLY person in the military chain of command that doesn't apply to, is the President - the Commander in Chief. As SOON as the Marines and the Navy Lieutenant saw that award, they only did what was expected of them - render honors to a Medal of Honor award winner; the HIGHEST military award given in the United States. Typically, that medal is awarded to military personnel who have given their lives in service; that's one reason you see very few living award recipients. But, don't be mistaken - if the Marines had been ordered to, they would have STILL arrested Corporal Yost as soon as they'd rendered salutes; BUT, they would have treated him with the UTMOST respect while doing so. That is a part of what duty and honor means in the military.
