I feel sorry for the lady, but I don't have any respect or sympathy for the man.

Terrible

Jesus loves you, give your worries and burdens to him. God has a plan for you, trust in his plan for you. It is never too late to turn to God.

From one soldier to another, I love you bro, I'm on this journey with you. You're not alone.

from one soldier to another, brother.. you're loved. Thank you for serving. its gonna be okay... the journey is long, but we got this. hooah!

Bravo for all you have done for yourself & countrymen. Thank goodness for that shoulder tap...

Bless you John. Bravo in lifting yourself up. Your art is spectacular ❤

Definitely an 'alpha male' and not cannon fodder...

What about all of the volunteers who have ptsd no one talks out for them

You've GOT to talk about it. Not talking about it is part of why it doesn't get better over time. When you recall something; you literally forget it and re-remember it. Doing this in a supportive environment makes the memory become associated with the supportive environment in which it was last remembered.

You should not come like the rest of the British army.but all the best and I hope some day you find peace now that the war is over 🇮🇪🙏

"Children hit me with sticks" get over yourself. Imagine pretending to be the victim like this. He was an armed occupier, they were children, and it was his job to intimidate them.

playing the lottery to help veterans. isn't there a a better way?

Sinn Fein's slogan then was "Brits Out". Now it' seems to be "Rest of the World In".

Own fault going there

If you stayed at home in England you wouldn't be pissing yourself now

Should of not come over and resigned lad.

You made your own life a liveing nightmare murder

I love how this gentlemen found art as a way to help with his mental health.....awesome ...thanks for making this video stay blessed

Absolutely amazing human being, dam just inspiring me to get fitter and appreciate life more, no more complaints from me, life is short,

He wasn't meant to be there, and it's awful he had to go through that

Awww tough fella,

Hard luck / Brits out 🇮🇪

What about the Starvation of my country, look up black 47 .and you expect us to welcome you with open arms you should have stayed at home .

British soldier in an Irish land. Been ongoing since 1919. Black & Tans, Special Branch RUC, 3 Para 1976. He signed up for it. Cope with it. 4000 others never had the opportunity to explore art.

They lack the courage to do this to their new invaders though. Truly a pointless conflict

I wonder if the thousands of young men falsely interned for a decade in filthy English prison have ptsd.

God luv ya , shouldnt be in our country

A big thanks from the people of Ulster. I can see shinner bots attempting some historical revisionism, but we all remember how things really were back then.

God Bless both of you. He can heal you. Praying for you both.

A fine example of positivity built on the back of trauma!!! Thanks for your story ! Well wishes to all individuals and communities affected from both sides!

Huh, wait until he meets his maker. You'll know misery then pal, never forget!

No sympathy.you join the brits.what you expect.over here terrorizing the poor Catholic community.shame on you.killing innocent people.hope the nightmares s keep coming

I served 6 tours during the late 70s and 80s with the parachute regiment

I feel sorry for John, sad story, I wish him well. Ironically the Irish grubbamint is now doing this to it's own ppl, rebellion coming soon............Bless.............

What do expect invading ireland ur not welcome and never will be

Do you not think the Irish people. Has PTSD because of what the brits done.

As nationalist/Republican I am against having British troops in Ireland, however I can sympathise with this man on a human level. 19 years old thrown in to a war zone then left to rot after his service. He may have been on the 'other side' but we have to acknowledge the hurt and trauma everywhere it exists. Best wishes to you fella and I'm glad you found a healthy outlet in your art.

Fighting an unknown enemy who hid behind balaclavas and children is enough to give anyone who served in Northern Ireland nightmares.

I know exactly where you’re coming from brother……..did two year tour in NI……great sculptures

The british government is at fault.

And the queen had tea with a murdering bomber

❤

Nowadays it's migrant rules Ireland

Tiocfaidh ár lá.

I know exactly where hes coming from....i waz one of these kids chucking Bricks & Bottles After seeing my Family getting interned Castlereagh the Crum long kesh camps the lot...Be Strong Bro ❤

It's almost as if you weren't welcome there!

I grew up in north Belfast in the 70s and it was impossible to escape the violence. Soldiers were under threat out on the streets, but safe when they went back to barracks or finished their tour. Living there, or being in the part time UDR like my father was, you were always under threat. In fact, they were safer on duty, than when they were at home or at work. I spent over twenty years in Belfast in the fire service, and again, we were attacked multiple times and caught up in riots etc. PTSD cost me everything, and i spent three periods in psychiatric hospitals in recent years. At 57, ive accepted ill always have it. I take meds which at long last seem to help, but previously have nearly killed me. The legacy of conflicts goes on for many years after they have finished, even on to the next generation.

As an American that respects the Irish cause, I can't help but see my grandpa in him. My grandpa fought in Vietnam. Veterans are brave. Martyrs are heroes.

What a beautiful wife, he is so lucky to have a faithful wife that stands by his side. 🤍
