Green Beret Loses Leg in Firefight and Keeps Fighting

- "Right there and then, I knew that this was where it was going to end for me. But I still had work to do." Nick Lavery is the epitome of what it means to be a Special Forces soldier. Always fighting, always striving for life. "I wasn't firing a gun and I couldn't see my enemy, but I was in a fight and I was gonna throw some punches." That's the kind of fighting spirit that Americans should point at and emulate in their own lives, be it on the battlefield or fighting to be the best person they can be back home.
"Success is nothing more than the sum of small efforts performed daily."

Thank you guys for the opportunity. Well done.
We appreciate you taking the time!
You’re an inspiration nick. Hearing your story is life changing, I can’t imagine what that experience was like but man, your tenacity and resilience is mind blowing. Hope you’re doing well and thank you for sharing your story man
I can imagine the enemy seeing you on the battlefield with your new leg. They'd be like, 'My God, they're sending giant killer robots after us. Run away! Run awaaaaaaay!'
Thank you for your service.
What the fuck are they putting into Boston's water supply? Every motherfucker I've met from Boston is just built with sheer grit and willpower. Good lord.
@@mitchblackmore5230 Wasnt there that one British ww2 pilot who had lost both of his legs before
war even started ? Was captured by germans and even they were impressed.
At german side Top ace Rudel also lost leg below knee and was back to cockpit month later.
Tough times really creates some exceptionally strong men.
The fact that he was able to sympathize with the man that nearly took his life and easily admit that he would have done the same thing if he was in the same situation is the most human thing I've experienced.
I wonder if the rogue afghan had aimed low intentionally
@@nickkerr5714 potentially.
Are you an idiot? It's a firefight. It's kill or be killed. That's what peg leg signed up for. That's what he wanted. Why do you think he signed up? To "protect" his country? Hell no. He signed up to legally gun down brown people. He signed up to help commit war crimes in foreign countries.
@@nickkerr5714 tbh that makes sense, or he was panicking so much he didnt look exactly where he was shooting
@@nickkerr5714 If he wasn't trying to harm them, he could have intentionally missed and just waited to be deleted.
Unless the Taliban conditions stipulated he had to at least injury some or his family would have been murdered.
As in Iraqi translator who spent 4 years on the battle field with many soldiers of all kind, this guy is a true warrior. I respect you. This was so touching.
What language do you speak? Arabic and Kurdish? Or just Arabic
@@RumpleDikskin dang, good reading, both but my Arabic much stronger. I grew up in Baghdad.
@@berznji3000 How do you see the Iraqi invasion which was a pack of lies and over 1ML civilians dead? The country is never been the same ever since is it.?
Thank you for your service! You guys don't get enough credit.
@@jacobthayer236 right back at you bud!
I lost my lower left leg to diabetes, but these are the guys who inspired me to shake it off and keep going. My thanks to them for sharing their stories, it makes a difference!
Fuck yeah!! Keep on pushing through - you're already braver than most
I’m glad u didn’t give up bro 🫡 I hope all is well now & I always say if u been through something bad or traumatic in your life when you share your story you never know who u can help I’m glad he helped and inspired you champ
We as a nation are lucky to have warriors like this. Thank you to all who served then, now and to those future warriors.
Absolutely! Couldn't have Said it any better! Thank you, and Thank everyone who fights for our freedom!
Thank you
Truly Inspirational. The dedication, perseverance, and perspective are lessons for all of us. We should all be humbled and carry it forward.
My Heart goes out to You! It's the little this WE remember we did or didn't do @ that split second time... ALWAYS GO WITH YOUR GUT feeling... & Who knew that NG would turn on you guys... Your a True Warrior!!!!
Couldn’t have said it better. 😢
“No hard feelings”. Now that’s a true warrior. A man amongst men.
Thank you
War is a contest and winners win their lives, not territory
A true warrior 👍
@@gabe9120 winners get to comment stupid shit like this on youtube.
@@NickMACHINELavery what an absolute hero you are buddie . And an mountain of a man too haha :) glad youre still walking the earth brother x
15:30 it's amazing he acknowledges both his rage and his empathy. that takes a lot of guts
All I can say humbly is thank you sir. I was in a combat zone in 91 but on a ship. You sir are a complete soldier. I am forever grateful to you and your comrades.
Thank you
Him using his own prosthetic leg as a gun mount is the most badass thing I’ve ever seen.
🤘
@@NickMACHINELavery dude thank u for your service and all u done for this country you guys are actually what inspired me AND my brother to join military not too long ago
Prosthetics are upgrades in my eyes. Flexibility you’ve never had before, and no more foot problems.
@@mauroghen9157 Lol
@@NickMACHINELavery thanks for your service brother not just for your country but for the world. Love from Ireland
"no hard feelings" is the heaviest pill i've ever seen another man swallow. Stoic, Brave, Responsible, more human than human, Nick Lavery is an unstoppable energy of heroism
Amazing huh? I guess it helps his mental recovery to understand the position the Afghan guy was in. Reminds me of what the Nazis did to Rommel. He's dead either way. Either he takes cyanide, gets buried with military honours and his family is looked after. Or he's put on trial for conspiring to kill Hitler, where he WILL be found guilty. He and his family will all be killed. It's a no-brainer. I expect Mr Lavery understands this. He's quite the inspiration.
I fucking cried there because he understood that that man was going to die no matter what
family over everything
Real man right there
That dude was 1000% more justified killing us soldiers than this freak ever had being in his country
As a Australian, I'm in awe of this American fighter and what he sacraficed for the western world, I say thank you sir and I'm sorry you were ambushed by the very people you and your soldiers tryed to help and teach them how to try and fight. WOW!!! Just so unbelievably amazing and sad and how strong this man is. God bless you.
Thank you
@@NickMACHINELavery no thank you sir
No better way of describing this man, a machine! True hero.
Thank you
@@NickMACHINELavery absolute total respect to you sir! Hope you enjoy the rest of your life. You deserve every inch of it whenever you get up to.
He is the definition of never giving up, never accepting and striving for more!
Thank you
Absolutely amazing strength
And you're the definition of a keyboard warrior.
@Lawless Even if you did, I would have enough self-control to not hook you in your jaw, maybe the me from like 3 years back wouldn't have that self-control.
No offense but someone told me kids who ate crayons an picked ther nose's join up for this stuff.
I know the feeling when you are bleeding out and think it's over, then you come too in a helicopter and there is a battle to be had but you realize there's a chance. Lost the same leg but I'm lucky enough to have a knee! Love ya bro, honor and respect, Warrior 🇺🇲💪
Thank you for putting this on here and for your service and sacrifice !!
High ready, thank you good sir, for all that you did, prayers n blessing 🙌 🙏🏻
Simply wow. Good people appreciate heroes like this.
@Lawless yeah its pathetic isn't it they do this for the same people that orchestrate the wars, operation northwoods will tell you all about the Gov these clowns serve. Without weasels who will do anything for paychecks this wouldn't happen. Shame they only got the leg honestly
That's a hell of a perspective man. "I'm lucky enough to have a knee". Shit like that really puts things in perspective.
You sir are the reason why this country will never fall
This might be one of the top 3 most inspiring wounded soldier stories I've ever heard. Thank you for sharing your story, your sacrifice, and the mental fortitude to show many of us to keep moving forward.
Thank you
“Im still an asset dont give up on me” those were some powerful words even had me in tears
That’s why we have our freedom badasses like him, I served to but Jesus Christ
Thank you
@@NickMACHINELaverythank you for your service and all the sacrifices youve made
Nick Lavery is an incredible example of someone who is in touch with his raw human resilience mixed with incredible discipline. If you don't think you're capable of similar things, you're selling yourself short.
And empathy
You’re a beast but at the end of the day with all the knowledge you know now would you still join the military and fight for that flag I mean do you even know why you went to Iraq and Afghanistan? Do you even know the real truth that’s the side and fucked up then roll ponds to these filthy politicians you lost your leg and you still wanna go over there and fight for what
Selflessness too
Thank you
It's men like you that should make us all proud to be an American.....your a hero n an inspiration brother..... anytime you wanna come down to Cape you will be welcome with open arms...thank you n god bless you n yours ❤️🇺🇲
Thank you
I meant to say ...come down to the Cape....anyways... ❤️🇺🇲
Those flight medics are unsung heroes thank you boys for saving lives in the shadows!!
As a former UK soldier who also faces enormous physical battles each day all I can say is ... man, you've got big balls! Fair play mate, in a world that likes to call everyone a hero you are an inspiration.
Holly badass mf right here wow🤝👍❤️❤️
Damn, well said...
I was in the US Army as a infantry soldier. I got the privilege to work with Canadian and British soldiers. Yall are pretty solid guys. Thank you for service.
I met this American icon though he would not remember (both heavily medicated) I had just been told that they had done everything they could but the probability of me walking again was not a good one. This hit me like a bull to the gut. Then I heard someone say "don't know man I think your good ." Never got his name but looking at the picture of him in the hospital bed I am pretty sure that it was you but either way 19 months later I walked in the office of that OR doc and told him the that the probability of keeping me in a wheelchair for any length of time was not a good one. I snapped out a Salute and about faced the fuck out of his office. If the soldier that said those words of encouragement was you man I thank you I was gonna give up but those words for some reason stuck and I never forgot. If it wasn't you fuck it thanks for being an inspiration to the other people whose lives I'm sure that you touched.
@@kevinsexton7544 I can totally picture him saying that to you after overhearing that convo
Never met the guy. But after listening to some of his interviews, sounds like something he'd say
I hope someday I can be half the man this man is.
Be better than me
And even that is a REACH..
@@NickMACHINELavery lord have mercy. No excuses.
I could eat 6000 calories a day and still be 25% his body mass. Dude is built like a house lmao
Hes actually 3/4 the man I am
Proud to have met this legend of a man/warrior and lear from him. God bless Nick and his family.
God bless
Highest honors to you brother! Definition of a soldier! Words can't describe the level of respect for your heart, courage and dedication to our country. ❤ Salute!!!!
🫡
Wow...Much RESPECT 🙏 BROTHER !!
I Know He May NOT Want it or Give the OK for It But Someone should make a movie on Him/His Story..He Is America and a Inspirational Person to some who have lost a limb or Etc !!🇺🇸
*Nick Lavery's podcast on The Shawn Ryan show literally changed my life.*
After watching DJ Shipley's story I thought there is NO WAY I would hear a story of more resilience and just absolute sheer will.
But damn, Lavery's story brought tears to my eyes.
It was the first time I remember pulling my car over and just stared out into space with a look on my face of "holy shit...what am I hearing right now..."
The pure fkn will to not give up. Just a totally different breed of humans man. It's beyond motivational, its cathartic.
Same bro
yep those 2 are very moving
Dude very same thing. DJ shipleys shaped the rest of my day and then watching nicks was amazing. I got babied growing up because I was the only boy in my family. Now being 26 I realized it didn’t help me in being an adult. Most people watch these guys to hear cool War stories but I’m watching to see how real men act and how to act like a fckin adult.
@@rm4googol930 Good on you brother - hold strong
Respect
I am a Vietnam vet and all I can say is "WOW" Have seen a lot of wounded and dead soldiers but glad you made it home and all you went thru THANKS YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE and WELCOME HOME
Thank you for your service too sir. Welcome home sir. A war that was not popular, still in history.
Thank you for your service. I'm glad you made it home.
Thank you for your service 🫡
Welcome home yourself Mr Riddick. Thank you for your service brother
Welcome home
Much love from Germany and active duty
Unbelievable dedication
A hardened soldier with the heart of a warrior.
Zero quit
Hit with so many different rounds, and more.
He just will not stop.
Thank you for your dedication and heroic actions.
Words cannot express how much Respect myself and many others have for you Nick Lavery. And the many other men that give their all above and beyond anything else...
Thank you
Today is exact 10 years ago that happened. And what a legend thank you for your service!
Thank you
I feel so little listening to this hero while I bitch so often about things that mean nothing to whine about. Thank you to our American heroes.
Damn, dude this brought me to tears. You are a warrior. Thank you to men and woman like you that make these types of sacrifices for us to be free!
They don’t call him “machine” for no reason.. that is a title this man has earned through blood. Truly an inspiration
This is a man if there ever was one. We need more men like this in America today.
Thank you
These stories of heroism beyond the definition of the word always get me emotional. May you and your family continue to live a wonderful life together. Thank you for being an inspiration and mentor to anyone who sees, reads, listens to your sacrifices.
Thank you
I hear his story and ask myself one question, “What’s my f*cking excuse for giving up on anything?”
Thank you Nick Lavery. You truly are an inspiration. God bless you and your family.
Thanks you guys for putting these amazing stories out there. I hope our kids and fellow Americans can be encouraged to have such grit, tenacity and selflessness.
This man motivated the hell outta me i love his drive to be successful.
Boom
You are one among millions,a true warrior
You will always be remembered for what you did for the nation.God bless you bro.
"Success is nothing more than the sum of small efforts performed daily. That's it." I love this quote from him. Thank you
It reminds me of a Bojack Horseman line “Every day it gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier but you have to do it every day. That’s the hard part”
the kind of simple minded quote i expect from someone that dedicates their life to violence in the name of the usa
I am also a an above the knee amputee, was with the 1st calvary. I know this is doubtful on personally reaching you, but I wanted to thank you for motivating me an give me hope. I have to admit, I've sat around with depression an wondered where my life will take me. Thank you for giving me back the mentality of never given up. You are a true inspiration to us amputees. Not just amputees, but to every living soul on this planet. I really needed this. Thank you again. Whhooorrrraahhhh
Boom. Glad to be of support. LFG.
Thanks brother, very cool that you actually seen my message. Appreciate it.
Hey, every day we're Alive is a good day! ❤
Dude I just wanna say thank you for your sacrifice from the bottom of my heart. Don't ever for one second think about giving up or that your any less of a man now. You're what every real man respects and people like myself are forever grateful for people like you!!!
@@alwaysstrapped814 man, thank you for that comment. It really is people like you that give me hope. Always a patriot brother.
You are a TRUE WARRIOR thank you for your sacrafice and detication to ur military brothers god bless you my brother
Success is nothing more than small acts performed daily. More of yall need to follow that. Respect to this man. The true definition of not letting any setback stop you.
Thank you
This guy is a machine so much respect for you. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice.
Thank you
Thx for your Sacrifice Brother !!
This man is incredible in so many ways. Our country needs more people like him.
He's the epitome of Merica, n never giving up
Your country has alot of people like him. You just don't see it until extraordinary circumstances come to fruition.
We have plenty of men like Nick. I pray for them every day and so should you. They make it easy for us to go to bed at night knowing we are safe.
You are an incredible human being, I can’t even explain to you how inspiring you are without even meaning to be. Thank you for everything!
Thank you

Thank you
All I can muster is thank you for your and your brother and sisters in arms for your service! I hope you all know just how many people out here have the most respect and love for you all!
I have tears on my face, not in sadness, but in pride for everything you do. You exemplify everything that is America. Thank you so sincerely for your service!
Thank you
@Lawless Could you do what he did?
@Lawless But you still couldn't do it regardless, I have a big guess that you couldn't do a job at all that was physically demanding.
Tears of pride lmao u wouldn't last snowflake
You are in you knees with his ball down your throat. Calm down
... " I was dead-ass serious " Truer words and more inspirational words have never been spoken. @NickMACHINELavery I have no words...only extreme heartfelt gratitude from the very bottom most of my heart.
Thank you
Telling you “Thank you for your service and your sacrifice “ seems so inadequate. Your story is inspiring. We are indebted to all of you who take up the call of service to our country.
Thank you
You, Mr. Lavery are the pure definition of bravery, persistence, resilience, sacrifice, and heroism. Your selfless dedication to this great country can never be repaid. My family and I (including twin boys serving) can not begin to thank you for everything you've done and been through. We are very proud having a protector like you. Thank you Sir.
Thank you
Your story made this Old Ass Tanker tear up. I’m proud to have served in the same Army as you. You Sir are a Man amongst men
That right there is a warrior. Pure and simple. Respect has been earned.
Thank. You
thank you for your service
Thank you
I've said it before and I'll say it again.... Nick is the living embodiment of an American Badass! He inspired my son to get after it in SF. Thank you Nick & BRCC for your stories & service. Sincerely A Grateful American.
As an amputee myself this man is an inspirational person. To go through what he did and he still pushes forward to serve his country and help his fellow soldiers shows me I can still do things I would normally think would be impossible. Thank you Sir for making me realise as I watched this my life is far from over and I can still aim to acheieve my goals.......if you can do what you have, Surely if I can steal some of your mentality I can push through barriers I have yet to try. You are such an incredible human being all I can do is thank you for your service and sacrifices you have made, you are a true inspiration and I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Thank you
The willpower this man has is unbelievable. The way he emphasized with the man that took his leg is unheard of. To return back to combat to complete what he started is insane. Drive like that is unbelievable. Thank you.
thank you for your service my family appreciates everything you’ve done❤️
The will power, dedication, and determination of this man are unfathomable.
Mad respect to all
Man you inspire me brother.
A true American warrior and hero!
God bless all our troops.

Holy shit what a man. This is the definition of a warrior.
Thank you
My grandpa is Captain Jack McDaniel of the Green Berets back in Vietnam. I'm a young Navy vet who plans to go into the Army later this year. This is extremely motivating and also very humbling. God Bless these warriors. I can only hope to become 1/10th of the man he is. I hope everyone who watches this can take some sort of motivation from it.
Thank you! Salute
Nick you and your brave brothers are the reason we sleep safely at night .
There are no words to convey my thanks to you and your brothers.

Out of all the crap you see. This makes me feel good. I’m proud to know you are apart of keeping our country moving forward. Don’t stop being you

Thank you
My God. You badass. People give me credit for beating stage 4 cancer but you are a true inspiration and a hero to me. I don’t have words to express my admiration. I was booted from Great Lakes for scoliosis. You are the definition of what I consider a warrior and a man. Thanks for your service and sacrifice. I appreciate you and your views.
Never take for granted the battle you went through sir. You sir are also a true inspiration. I'm proud to be sharing this earth with you.
Success is nothing but the sum of small efforts done daily. You just inspired me. I absolutely love that quote. Thank you.
Thank you
No words sir, unbelievable what you’ve come through and your mind set. I have the respect for you and your parents a
True example of what good parenting brings!! Well done sir it was a honor just to watch the video!! Thank you and your team members for all you’ve done as well as all the ones before and the one’s to come after !! Thank you for your love of the country!!
Thank you
The most powerful thing that no one talks about when it comes to him. It’s him forgiving the guy who hurt him in the first place. He understood what he had to do and if anything he sympathize with him
Thank God for men like Nick Lavery who protect us. May God Bless you Nick and all others who do what you do. Thank you for your service.

What an incredible, inspiring man and warrior. War's a shit business but knowing that their are people like this, willing to go through this makes me incredibly grateful and proud that the U.K and U.S stand together. God bless everyone who has fought, survived and ultimately paid the ultimate price fighting for their country.
Thank you
Theres nothing i can say other then THANK YOU SOLDIER!! Thank you to you and all the other men and women that fight or have fought for our freedom. Our country as a whole owes y'all more then y'all are receiving. My heart goes out to all the families who had a loved one that paid the ultimate price for our country and freedom. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
I wouldn't care if you lost every limb.... If I was your wife or girlfriend I would never ever stop being so happy you came home.... Your strength and courage and thoughts of your brothers over yourself is the definition of HERO... Just a slight note after reading the comments on my post I wish people would not attack other people on their experience or feelings seriously why is there any argument at all.... I think they should be ashamed of themselves for going after each other when this was a beautiful video about somebody's personal experience and sacrifice for our country can we still be just Patriots?
Easy to say now
@Reanu Keeves Nope not how it works 🙄. she can ask for forgiveness but tell yourself whatever
@Reanu Keeves stay strong bro
@Eris🦇 Mana none of us really know how forgiving our creator is or isn't. I wouldn't bank too hard on asking for forgiveness to resolve you of your wrong doing. That's so you can sleep at night, not reserve a spot in the afterlife you don't deserve.
@@rendezvoushere7843 Who are you or Reanu Keeves to say/judge who deserves a spot or doesn't? Isn't one of the primary rules as a Christian, "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged."?
So fucking proud of this soldier. Thank you for your service.
Thank you
Sir, thank you for your service, thank you for tenacity, thank you for your compassion. Thank you for coming back & continuing to serve our country. By you training other soldiers I know you saved countless lives by sharing your knowledge with them. May God bless you, your family & our country!
This guy is my hero .thank you for your service sir.
Thank you
Even though im on the other side, i can only say that this american man is an absolute paragon of unbreakable spirit.
Hi from Russia, respect your vets!
Greetings from Germany, from a very peaceful person, who is still somehow fascinated by those stories.
I often feel, that people can generally get along well with each other.
It's politics, ideologies and people in power, that are dividing the common men.
Without politicians (or at least politicians that end up creating international conflicts) there would be no war or large scale violence.
I wish peace and safety to you, and everyone else in this world. However I realize, that this wish may perhaps never become reality.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you
Wow, what an asset to our country. Thank you for your service, sir, you are an amazing individual and a real inspiration!!
Wild that we live alongside mythical people like these. Thank you for your service and all the other legends like him
Thank you
What an absolute unit! Thank you Mr. Lavery
Thank you
You are our strength brother.i give you my total respect.. great job...
Speechless there are no words in the Oxford English dictionary to describe this individual’s character… The dude is a modern-day warrior-trained assassin at the pinnacle of his profession… What a patriot and a top quality man he truly is… It is heroics that only happens in movies and novels do you hear or read about it not in real life…. Thanks for your service!!!!!!
Incredible story. He really embodies the American spirit.
Thank you
Indeed, one hat most home-bodies forget. Especially politicians, both left and right. Everyone is so eager to complain, but no one with a brain would complain for long if they saw this. This man lost his leg, he lost some brothers, he almost died, and he got back up, forgave the man who did it, and got back into the fight. No complaints, his mindset was “have i served enough, have i done all i can?” Why doesnt he have a medal of fucking honor???
@@NickMACHINELavery Thank you for your service and sacrifice, Nick.
When I watched this video, I was completely engaged. He's definitely a huge motivation. Brcc, yall make some great documentaries.
WOW
That's a man that makes America great.

Brother, I promise to live my life a little better because of your story. Much love my dude and thank you more than you know

Smash it 👊🏼
What's the status Shepherds??
@artescalera1418 3 yrs cancer free April 17th! Gaining weight and muscle back! Appreciate the ask sir!
This is a hell of a man. Monster big, heart of gold. Was more concerned for his teammates than himself. He’s a hero by any measure but to return to combat as a green beret says it all. Very inspiring
The pose where he has his prosthetic set up as a rifle pedestal is awesome! Huge respect for this man.
Thank you
Thankyou all for your service in protecting this country and the land of the free. ❤
Thank you
This soldier is FOR SURE a testament of the courage our country was built on! This soldier is an absolute national hero. Thank you sir for your courage, your honor and MOST of all thank you for your service to our great country 🇺🇸
You see movies with larger than life military cutouts all the time, but this guy is a real one of those guys! Larger than life literally. What an extraordinary man.
Thank you

With the will, heart, drive, dedication and focus like this anything is possible.
