- We asked Craig what impact the original video had on him and he shared the following message:
Taking part in this video was an incredible experience. It helped me open up about my struggles and it has allowed others to open up to me. I have received countless messages of support from people all over the world, and I've been able to give support to those who reached out to me.
On top of this the generosity of the LADbible audience just blew me away. Over £10,000 was raised, all of it going toward the setting up of my survival school. I can't thank you enough for that.
Lastly, I want to thank the crew for being kind and friendly, on and off camera. It was a pleasure to take part in this series.
- Craig

I'm a military veteran. Two tours in Iraq.(2006, 2008) Kirkuk and Tallil. Served a total of 20 years/retired in 2012. Taking a human life is not something that should EVER come natural. This is why the military tries hard during initial training to reprogram you. Even then, you will have people freeze in combat at the moment of truth. The military dehumanizes the enemy in order to make it easier to kill when the time comes. You pretty much have to be a psychopath/sociopath for this type of thing not to affect you to some extent. There is no glory in killing. You do it to accomplish your mission and because you must in order to ensure the survival of yourself and your fellow soldiers. In war, killing is gov't sanctioned murder. If you are going to enlist/join the military keep this in mind before you sign your life away on that dotted line. The military life style is not for everyone. No shame in that.😉 Stay frosty out there!
This rips me to bits. Best of luck for the future Craig. You’re a beacon of hope for those who’ve been down or going through this path.
This man has the physique, the psychology and the manners of a seasoned warrior. Respect.
If anybody hasn’t read or listened to his book “The longest Kill” it’s a must read. Highly recommend. Craig if you read this then thank you for everything you’ve done from defending our amazing country to doing these videos, letting us have a glimpse into your career.
My sympathies Craig. I have complex PTSD as well, bad upbringing, and so few people understand how severe it is and what that means. If I didn't have a good therapist who knew what started me down this and that its a known issue that she knows how to address I would have lost everything to it. I'm so glad you have your wife and that sweet little dog. Hang in there mate.
I can’t say this enough, but as a social worker, I know first hand the importance of hearing the honesty and openness of someone else’s experience with trauma, ptsd and depression when trying to deal with your own mental difficulties. Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for all those who you have helped and will help. Love.
When he mentioned his dog, I'm picturing the big tattooed sniper has a german shepherd or a rottweiler. Nope, a Yorkie.
Most people don't realize what we went thru as soldiers, it's been many years since i got out and to this day i still find myself waking up and feeling anxious and almost desperate to get up, i watch these videos and honestly it helps me get thru sometimes, just knowing it's not just me there are others out there feeling my pain, the things i've seen aren't natural, i found GOD and every day is a new day, thanks for your honesty and courage to talk about it, good luck and hold on life will get back on track for you
When he talks about his dog it just bloody ripped me shreds. So beautiful, so sad, so complex. Just the little things... Betsy the terrier saved his life, just through unconditional love. Oh my my my. What a heart wrenching story, what a beautiful man. God bless him. We love you Craig.
When I saw the notification with Craig’s face.. man… I smiled. He’s just the best man! I could listen to him speak all day. I’m glad he is thriving and surviving. I wonder how Betsey is doing??
Fair play to Craig telling his us all about his struggles with PTSD. It takes more balls to do that than people may realise and is a big part of winning the battle. My grandfather survived both world wars from the Somme through to North Africa and Italy. He saw & experienced more harrowing things than most of us could barely imagine. Like many others before and after him, he struggled all his life with the then little understood PTSD. It took him many years to even consider talking about it.
The original was such an important interview. Craig was incredibly brave serving in the capacity he did, and incredibly brave to speak so honestly about his experiences. We should all aim to become half the man he is.
So hard to see such a beautiful man to suffer.
I have such admiration for this man . He did a Job , that many people could never even imagine taking on .
Only a real man can shed tear unabashedly. Craig is brave man.
I cried listening to him , he is brave to tell his story and i wish him best luck in his life
This is the type of guy you simply HAVE to wish all the best for whatever!
Of all the stories he told us, the one with his little dog really got me.
Men like him are my heroes...His honesty, his openness and willingness to be truthful won't cure his PTSD, but damn, it's so emotionally helpful...God bless his dog and his wife. :-(
