Hello, I've seen a lot of comments on here asking us to change the title of this video so I thought i'd address it. We chose the World Record story as the title as we felt that that story had the widest appeal to the general public and therefore more people would see Craig's important message about the impact of PTSD. I've spoken with Craig, he's completely happy with the title and the content of the video. He's also been touched by the support he has received in this comment section.
We're going to be filming an update video with Craig in the coming months so watch this space. If you want to support Craig you can donate to his Survivor School here: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/maverick-survival-school
Yes
nice
I clicked thanks to the title. It did its job, hooked me in.
Its click baity but works and I think it should remain as it will provide insight and get the attention of everyone. Good interview.
lol
This Man is telling his life story, breaking down, in tears. And all the title says is how he broke a world record. Give this man some respect.
Shut up lol
No the title is better because most people don't want to willingly watch a grown man break down. The clickbait is better so he can tell his real story.
He didnt even cry dog, you're just lying. No tears were present
I THINK IT WAS A CLEVER WAY OF PEOPLE HEARING HIS STORY , IF THE HEADLINE SAID LISTEN TO A SOLDIER'S STORY ABOUT PTSD HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD OF CLICKED 🤷♂️
i want to give this man a hug and not let go till he sais so
The title is so disrespectful, the guy poured his heart out for this video.
+1 to change the fucking title.
Well said.
What do you expect form "unilad" though?
I would say to look at it as they have drawn in more people to hear his story than otherwise would have. They probably didn’t intend that but that will be the result. And we are better off for it.
Sorry I don’t agree they need people to click on the vid so it’s for the views
What was the titel
As a disabled veteran and having my dog for 14 or his 15 years. I know exactly how he felt. Ive had many years of suicidal thoughts, My dog has pulled me out of the darkest hours I've ever been through. I owe my life to him.
You are not alone God is with you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Be strong
@@tuka24a no
I’m proud of you
You are not alone. Talk to people, ask for help when need it.
But the strength i suspect you have in you, is not in merely surviving, but in helping others, to protect them. This is why you've joined. That YOU is still inside you, and it grand.
Conquer life once more, mate!
God bless you
I was thinking “wow” this guy is the epitome of a man. He’s tough and rough and good at his job. Towards the end I was like. No- he’s a man now. Being able to talk about the lowest point in his life to millions of strangers. Thats a man.
Beautiful comment ❤
@@SkyWayMan90 Yes, amen to that.
With the lack of mental health support that men get because people tell men to 'man up', this is the kind of comment that more people need to see
Why foreign ppl who invased and killed others in their own country are celebrated? Watch the documantaries about the suffering that soldiers caust innocent civilians! watch about the lies of an attacking war of Iraq. Men should not throw the lifes of others and their own for that pissing "for my country"-shit! Because there were no war in USA or UK or europe and they were not attacked! what these soldiers have lost in a foreign country. get out there. just left so much pain for millions civilians and destroyed countries. All these comments show that the mankind still did not grow.
Please stop. That's a human being. Can't people see through?
Not a killing machine, but a real human with real emotions massive respect
“...but you just killed someone.” He says with a smirk on his face. Hmmmmm
Both
@@Skynique get a grip. Hiding behind your keyboard if your saying that’s a smile of him enjoying it then your a muppet
His literal job was to be a killing machine what the fuck are you talking about. I have a lot of sympathy for this guy but the way he talks about the people he was fighting against is very strange.
@@brian-yt4re no the main role of a sniper is reconnaissance. In the situation it’s kill or be killed, I’m sure you’d do the same. Educate yourself before commenting. I don’t think you can expect someone to be ‘normal’ after such encounters
wow, that is a moving bit of film. You can feel every ounce of pain he's carrying.
@Burnsy fishing and outdoors are you trying to take the piss? If so, you literally have a YT channel dedicated towards fishing. You’re no man. You’re a wet wipe.

Ive lived 50 years with the effects of PTSD. No friends, no love, recoil from people and escape back to my loneliness at home. Its left me broke and empty. I hope you fair better than I have Craig.
Semper Fidelis. 🇺🇸💀
It's never too late to seek he!p mate.
Hope you're ok.
We welcome you in Norway or anywhere else. Many churches house good people as well. May God bless you.
Bless you my friend you will be ok xx
Your not alone
He may not ever know that his opening up and being venerable is probably saving more lives than his job took. we apricate you sir.
He gave everything, his whole life, he literally ruined himself for his country, he broke his brain, and it took them 30 minutes to say "you are crazy" and kicked him out of the service. People like him need professional support and medical help once they are out of the service, a medal means nothing. They deserve free 24/7 professional support and help, that's the least of what they deserve. I'm glad this guy made it out alive, he's lucky to have a great wife, not everyone has that. Oh and please change that title, the video should be called "Ex-sniper talks about PTSD and the horrors of war".
Agree...it's a disgrace. Especially when so many walts are claiming to have PTSD and claiming all sorts of freebies and benefits
We all know this stamp out is the best "thank you for your service" we ever had. we don't need medals or words. we look each other in the eye and we know.
TBH, I wouldn't of watched this video if they had that title... The title hooked me. And I finished, not disappointed.
This was written beautifully. I couldn't agree more
The title needs changing to PTSD and what the fk we gonna do about it..asafp.
250 soldiers have left us in last hree years
.not a joke any more change all your minds on videos and bigger picture
Came for the sniper stories, stayed for this man’s incredible wisdom.
especially the part about having someone else wipe your ass for you :'(
Same 👌
Oh yes, a real killer.Hope he has endless nightmares.
@Hy Yem. Some of you guys are real pieces of shit. I don't agree with our wars, But I'm only 1 man. This man and scores just like him sign up truly believing they are protecting and serving their countrymen. They are willing to kill and tote the trauma that comes with it... for you and me. I appreciate this man and the millions around the world like him. Only because he has sacrificed so goddamn much. I don't have to agree with him on the how and why, I just know they do it for their country, and it's one hell of a job our countries ask of them. You guys should learn to get past your fucking ideologies and learn to see people for who they are. I think you'll find the world isn't such a terrible place. This man deserves much better than what he got. The least we can do is not condemn him for doing what he was led to believe was his civic duty.
Agreed lots of wisdom
My dad died of suicide, I’m so glad Craig didn’t do it! Such a brave and honest interview, you can see the thoughts running through his mind watching it al over again, cried the whole way through😢 I hope Craig is still doing well
My Dad did the same .. brings it home what these brave guys went through .. my dad was haunted by being in the north alantic convoys during WW2
*PTSD IS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF. YOU ARE A FUCKING CHAMPION AND MORE PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS. STAY POSITIVE AND KNOW PEOPLE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU*
Clean, long form interviews like this, with no hype, no narrative and no stupid music are the reason why TV is dying. This is excellent content.
if it was just a tidbit. This guys story needs to be told in hours, not in 10 minutes. But its 10 minutes because its content to be ads and then sold. #bizness
Im happy to watch some ads if i can watch quality productions like these
This man is one of many, I know some that couldn’t handle the thoughts of what we’ve seen and endured. In America we get help for the sleepless nights, the paranoia, the mood swings, I know many that paid the ultimate sacrifice, many of my brothers from my own unit, the worst for me was in Fallujah, after the tanks did what they do, we had to go into the city, block by block, guys getting hit right next to you, I take Diaz Paem every day, I understand this guys situation and will pray for him and all those that have been to war.
Jre
you are absolutly right, but its sad that talking about how great the content is the most liked comment.
A dog really is a mans best friend. Simple unconditional love. Hope this guys is doing alright.
I agree that dogs are awesome, but if you think the love doesn’t have conditions, you’re kidding yourself.
alfred lauridsen shut up
@alfred lauridsen Agreed
alfred lauridsen try unconditional love then your almost there... I take it you've never been lucky enough to experience this... I hope one day you do...
alfred lauridsen fare play and great explanation, having thought about you are in fact absolutely correct... I guess dogs have many different purposes and very different owners... I've had one military dog who was my trusted foe and now have a house pet who I guess realistically is my pet which in turn makes me a dog owner... looking at your point the words say it all "Dog owner". We don't own our friends... I stand corrected 👍
I never wanted to hug a man so hard in my entire life... Feels like he deserves it the most and he's asking for it...
Afghanistan combat vet here. Thanks for helping to dispel the myth of the quiet warrior 🗣
It takes an incredible amount of courage to sit in front of a camera and open up so much, for the entire world to see. To talk about the horrors you've witnessed, the consequences of PTSD, even the embarrassing ones. I have nothing but respect for him. I truly wish him the best, and hope that he can learn to live with his demons in a healthy way.

How nauseating it truly is that these nerdowells think they deserve sympathy.
Such a precious man. I am glad he had (and still has!) his loving wife and doggo. Wish them all the best possible.
yes fuck the country who he forcefully invaded killed there people in the name of bringing peace and now is being halied as a hero..... imagine an iraqi killing an englishmen in england and being called a hero
@@abdullaha2555 your narrative is yours and is absolutely not why I called him a precious person.
This guys story hits home with wanting to die and the dog stopping you . I hope he gets well and finds peace in his heart and mind . You never know what a person goes though or has gone though people need to treat people with kindness and love . 1 small act of kindness could save a persons life .
Well... guess that was the most honest interview i've ever seen. War is hell.
Have you read “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien? Great elaboration on this

@@stevenstone7237 A job where he eliminates targets whom he barely knows. "Bob" could be a loving family man and a brave freedom fighter but assumed to be a terrorist.
I said the same thing, 100% agree
7:20 You can see on his face how enthusiastic and excited he is while talking about his achievement of acquiring a target at that long distance, he gets carried away talking, and then the part at 7:26 the realization that he actually hit a guy/human person, his face changes completely, raised brows dropped down, and that sad expression. Must be difficult to deal with this.
Sometimes I kill an ant by an accident and I feel about it, let alone a human person.
I noticed that too, the excitement of the achievement (which truly is incredible) vs the realisation that his world record required someone, a son, father, husband, to die. He's carrying around alot of pain.
Was a good kill. Was an excellent kill! If you can't convince them that their religion is oppressive, bigoted, and violent then kill them first. No remorse. Islam is evil.
ohhhh so sadddd this is not terrorism in your books... taliban solider also feel bad after commiting a crime
Incredibly sad and emotional story. All I want to do is hug this man and spent time just listening to him.
He just need our prayers🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@tuka24a prayer makes the believer feel better not the person. Its a nice thought though.
“20 years of service and it took half an hour to get kicked out.” i felt that one.
It’s cold and matter of fact, I had some crazy old colonel doctor. Discharged me on the spot, all my mukkas were on leave, never got to say goodbye or anything. Just a train ticket. Next day I left for home and that was the end of my military career.
Init man they could of atleast given him a HQ or officer role, but i think he's better then if he continued
@@si0054 their loss pal
"I called Tanya" is the line that had me crying with him.
It takes years to build a reputation and only seconds to ruin it. So is life.
A man doesn’t have to apologise for crying.
Noone does

I'm crying for him

I feel your pain brother. I am a veteran but I was never in combat like you were. I don't have PTSD (that I am aware of) but I have battled depression and anxiety for decades and I have been at that point were I was seconds away from taking my own life. Much love and prayers for you. And thank you for your service.

As a dog owner struggling with my mental health, the ending made me cry ❤ Dogs are so good and pure, every time I feel like shit I cuddle with my dog and she always makes me feel better

Felt this big.
I read this comment and thought "lol pussy". Then I got to the bit and welled up myself.
Same thing happened for me when he talked about wiping his friends ass
Thats one SOLID "pussy" brah! Lol, he's a man that shouldn't have had to do this shit.
No matter how many jokes we Americans may crack about the Brits and vice versa, we are still friends in this day and age and I appreciate your service sir. I'm very glad you found the strength to keep fighting. I've been suicidal before and checked myself into a mental hospital before I could make that decision. You're a true fighter and even though you don't know me, I'm proud of you.
This literally made me a sobbing mess I can’t even begin to imagine what you have been through. But you are a shining beacon I can’t even put into word how this has effected me just to see what you went through and that you came through it
For anyone interested, Craig wrote an autobiography called "The Longest Kill". It's an incredibly well written book that goes through all of his experiences in the army and after leaving. I highly recommend it to anyone who sees this.
Shows his full story I read it. It’s even deeper when you know his background and his life pre military
Its not the longest kill though considering the longest shot is over a KM longer than his held by a Canadian soldier from Canadas JTF-2 SF. 3,540m or 3.54km. Craigs shot was 2475m or 2.47km he ended up at the time beating another Canadian fellows record of 2430m. Canadians hold 3 of the top 5 longest shots the other 2 are this guy in the video at number 3 and in 2nd place an Aussie whos name is withheld
@@sean-e-boy I assume its about his longest kill I dont think he's saying its his longest
@@sean-e-boy the British sniper shot was the longest in history until the Canadian sniper took the record
Ill buy this - thanks for letting me know 👍
This is why when a veteran buddy calls me suddenly and asks to get together it's important to just do it. Not ask why. Veterans speak differently.
Good man brian 🍻
Indeed! Absolutely
Wise man you were raised right
I never joined but I have a lot of extremely close friends who spent a lot of time around the world. Anytime they call or text me for anything at all, its a done deal. Need me to walk your dog at 2am? Done. Need me to go check on your mom? Done. Need me to come over and sit on the couch with you in silence? Done. They go thru literal hell and deserve to be treated so much better than they are.

Is it bad to say I feel bad for him
@@THEJOKER-tq3ms no, hes been through a lot his mum didnt care about him much, his best friend got kicked out of the army due to hearing problems, and one of his squadrons cars blew up by IED's and someone destroyed there leg, he also hit an IED which gave him PTSD and his spotter, cliff. Almost died and craig Harrison thought it was his fault, so everyone should feel bad for this man
This is one man who EARNED every day of the rest of his life. I wish him nothing but happiness, every day, for him and his wife!
c r Agreed mate.
God bless him. God bless all the service men and women of the British armed services. And all North American ones as well.
No more so than a lot of other people. All the medical staff working 20 hour days to combat the Coronavirus have earned, and deserve exactly the same.
Seems to me like hes paying interest on the rest of his life. And its terribly sad.
@@johnoneill1386 the hospitals are empty. I’ve seen it. The “extra” hospitals built for battling the “pandemic”.... being taken down. If you don’t believe what your eyes see I can’t help you nor do I want to try.
When you spoke about your first mission, I felt your change from confident to sorrowful. Thank you for your service, and thank you for putting your own mental health in jeopardy as well. Cheers mate.
Craig is my fucking hero man, glad he is still with us today, too many military veterans that kill themselves, or are forgotten.
If you know a military vet and they are struggling, get them help, we need to give veterans more than just a verbal thank you. God bless you Craig, and God bless LADbible for making this touching video
The guy is a proper soldier, his wife and dog are the heroes.
So true, a guy like that needs a support system like no other.
They are all hero's.
He is a hero
Proper soldier- he is a REAL man for taking a father away from his small kids?
Well said...
You think the guy is tough looking at his huge tattooed arms and hearing about his record kill shots, but then he opens up about his battle with PTSD and you realize how tough he really is. That is inspiring.
Yeah people often think that it only affects what in their minds are "weaker" people. But it can affect literally everyone, no matter where they were born, their culture, or anything else.
@@timdeathly yeah, it changes how you rationalize whether you like it or not. It’s like you become a different person, and you want to revert back but forgot what it’s like to feel normal. You literally become a destructive, nihilistic, zombie version of yourself. You want to change bad, but can’t make consistent progress. There’s no motivation, those things don’t matter anymore unfortunately. Again, you don’t have a choice, it takes over. The worst part is that the only healing you can do is within, you can be sedated or off whatever meds you prefer, but you won’t get any actual progress unless it clicks in your head. It can come from the therapist rewording something and now you look at it differently. I thank every soldier who put their life on the line for mine.
Football, mma, war and other shit. Its actually shocking if you slow down and take a look at what these guys go through, shocking. Even watching Justin Fields get hit so hard on a Saturday, or the last ufc where some of the hits guys take. We all need to slow down and wonder if we are all doing this right
Amen brother.....
The toughest in my book.
Well said
There are no words. Most gripping monolog I've ever heard. Craig, please know that you are reaching others like your dog reached you. We don't want you checking out. Ever!
What an absolute inspiration! No words can describe the pain and remorse this legend feels. He shouldn’t feel remorseful as it was to save his country and save lives, he’s a real life superhero and a film on his story would be another way of thanking him for his service.
He should be a narrator, his voice is crisp.

When he was talking about considering suicide and the fact that a look from his dog gave him the strength to carry on, it got me. It's amazing what having a dog or a cat or any emtionally supportive animal can do for you. I don't suffer from PTSD so I have no clue what it's like and don't claim to(and everyone experiences things differently) but I do have depression and my dogs help me every day.

This interview was so powerful! It made my cry! That’s some shit no body should have to deal with and the fact that he’s still alive is proof that his so strong mentally 👏👏👏 Love you sniper! Hope time will help heal things🫶
This made a grown man like me sob like a child. God bless you brother 🙏
Couldn't help but tear up with him when he was talking about taking his own life and looked at his dog...
same, ive been in those shoes. my wife and dog got me through it as well. he did the same head tilt.
your not the only one
@jmalcolmg123 wb love tho?
Same. Very tough to hear.
@jmalcolmg123 But peace isn't always the answer, Chamberlain teach us that lesson
These stories are valuable...the sacrifices and the talk about PTSD is something we need to talk about more.
Yes in soldiers not verbally abused teens

Great interview Craig amazing mate how you opened up so sincerely and truthfully. No bravado crap just raw honest emotion that's what kept me glued to the screen. Wish you incredible success for the future!!
God bless you brother.
Retired 1988, Vietnam vet.
I never pictured a sniper team helping eachother poop and wipe eachother up. Thats some brotherly love
That was very unexpected
It was my favorite part of the job
Oh you have no idea what's going on behind the scenes haha
Yeah between murdering people always nice to know they wipe each other land of the free home of the brave
@@finsburyparklocksmith1566 not really murder when their enemy combatants
When he talked about calling his girl, bro that shit broke me.
@Muskeln-kaufen.de Tough guy right here huh?
Sometimes a call to a loved one is a part of helps them keep some humanity. Glad she’s as amazing as she is for his sake, but also for hers.
@@markuspetersen5510 this dude probably has never seen combat let alone serve overseas. F this dude
@@onceuponatime. prolly never felt the touch of a woman either lol
Lol wat a simp he was for that ey.
my father was a DI in the Marine Corp just think that anyone can say whatever you want but in the end he is a man and a human being we should not judge anyone in any job they do because freedom is not free wish this man luck and thanks for being strong and not giving up thank you for your service and sure your friends appreciated all the effort and the things you have to live with the rest of your life he did not run away he ran to the fight courage honor responsibility to see the job through is commendable wish him a long life with his wife and dog awesome THANK YOU VERY MUCH
a true legend who should never be ashamed of his ptsd, what an honour to hear the voice of such a man ❤️
Man, I damn near bawled my eyes out at the end. I really hope this guy, his wife, dog and family are all doing well. PTSD is no joke.
Yeah felt that one, describing the way he was good to go but his dog looking at him saved him. Wow...
Shit broke me
@@BronsonVG 100% PROOF! !!!! th-cam.com/video/si5P3W-DzfU/w-d-xo.html
absolutely broke me too
It's not just PTSD, it's about living with the things you've done. You can't go back
If the chap in the interview ever reads this, No u are a hero and people should look up to u and respect u. We all owe men like yourself a lot. Stay strong.
He doesn't want to be called a hero and you should respect that. Not everyone who is put in a position where they have to kill another human being, understanding what that means, wants to be put on a pedestal for it and romantized for it.
Its just not right. The entire situation is sad. What you get from this video shouldnt be "damn what a hero!". Its, the fact that this happens in this world is horrible and soemthign should be done so people don't have to be put in these situations.
Killing other human beings is nothing to glorify. Clearly he doesn't want it.
@@ImTheMan0fSteel killing people is what he signed for isn't it?
@Gabe Farr well said 👍🏻
He’s quite ashamed because he fully understands how wars are carried out and how a human life can be recognized as nothing more than a label
He is a hero to his peers as well for doing this very video and sharing it with all of us on a platform that veterans follow and will see.
Good decision on the title and great video Craig. Working at the VA I talk to a lot of vets as I process their applications. When I broach the subject of PTSD and relate my short story and it's effect on my life and that of my wife and daughter over forty years, I can't tell you how many time guys have gotten choked up and started talking about how finally someone understands the effects. Lots have gone on to get help and even filed claims. Many are starting to pay it forward as well. We all gotta help each other, PTSD affects us because we're still civilized and DO care for others whether we admit it or not. Just glad Craig got the help he needed...
Thank you for opening up about your PTSD and how that's effected you and your life. And thank you for being so brave and opening up to millions on the internet. We all stand with you and love you.
I understand what he means about the dog saving his life. I had a period in my life that I was suicidal. I lived with my mum and dad at the time. I woke up one day and felt i couldn't take it anymore. I waited for my mum and dad to leave and when they did I decided I'd go and end it. At the time we had a Rottweiler, the one in the picture, and she was really obedient dog you'd tell her to do something and she would do straight away. And on this day as I was going to leave she sat in front of the front door and would not move. I shouted at her and tried to pull her away but she still wouldn't move. I looked at her and realised she knew there was something wrong with me. I realised at that point that while my mum and dad and sisters and their families would understand my dog never would do. I feel she knew somehow what I was going to do and she wanted to help me. She literally saved my life that day. I just hugged her and cried for about an hour and then I felt a little bit better. If anyone is having any trouble with mental health issues, please talk to someone. You won't be laughed at or mocked or looked at in disgust you will be helped I promise you. No issues are ver too trivial or minor.
Made me tear up
Thank you for sharing! All the best and hope the best is still in front of you 🙏
Amen! Stay strong buddy
That’s a moving story. Dogs really are a man’s (or woman’s) best friend. I hope you are in a better place now my friend 💙

Should be titled: Regaining My Humanity | A Sniper's Life
Great title
I see a lot of hate for the title but titles are there to be clickbait right. The world record in the title made a lot of people click...
I mean in the comment section theres a lot of hate for the title
@@mennovanderster5607 Right, but Craig's story really overshadowed that part.
I wouldn't of clicked honestly. I'm glad I was clickbaited into this. In a way, it made more people hear his amazing story.
This is such a great piece. Bless your heart, Craig.
What a honest man. All my respect to you, Sir.
His eyes tell a story on their own...
Very true, blessings to him & other’s like him.
Was thinking the same thing
as in you don't see tears running down from them...
He has the same eyes as foxy from sas who dares wins
there's a certain dark stare, I wish the guy all the best 👏🏼
My thoughts too.
He didn't "break a world record" he did his job well and saved those guys from a horrible death.
@War.L _ he didnt acc break the world record hes acc 3rd the other 2 are classified as to who they are
Top 5 longest sniper shots came from 3 Canadians. Longest shot is from a Canadian but that's besides the point. Hats off for this man today
Regardless of if it was the longest shot or not, his shots were ridiculous and saved lives and that's 100% all that matters.
@@crixusthenorman1603 with 50cal rifles. If you’ve ever served or shot. You’ll know the difference in what he used. .338. A tripod mounted 50 vs a bolt action hunting rifle effectively. Jesus wept.
Just...Wow. Very powerful testimonial. I'm so glad he is still with us.
My other thought... Dogs are amazing.
It’s refreshing to see and hear from a real man. There aren’t many of them anymore especially ones with hearts and feelings. Much respect and love.
OTT Feminism and social media are the two main causes for the death of man as we once knew it.
Being someone who has served with Craig "Trench" Harrison he is the calmest, considered person I have ever worked with! The guy is a Hero and a Legend!
Why ‘trench’?
@@andrewdods2236 He mentioned you’ve gotta dig a trench between your legs to piss when you’re a sniper, maybe because of that?
Please tell Craig how much I admire not only his honesty but the real emotion and caring he showed about his job. I thought snipers must be cold and heartless, but Craig is a real man. A human being who is a true hero. God bless him.
If there is any way you could contact him, he needs a "pier" to help him deal with the anguish... Not a Doctor, not a counselor but somebody who has been there and knows his pains, can understand where his head is... He needs your hand reaching out to him, do the right thing... Reach out....
I was in the trenches with forest gump too. Hope you had a great time with Craig
His sensitivity of how he described his first victim as having 'passed away' actually made me tear up. He kept his humanity through all of that
Him talking about calling his wife made me tear up, good lord that was brutal.
@fUck eRy you really cant say that cus it's one of those things that you can't predict your feelings for until you actually do it, especially since at the end of the day, terrorist's are still human and it's not good for the human psyche to kill another
@fUck eRy It's easy not to humanize the concept of a "terrorist", cuz the concept is not a person, it's just a bad guy. But when you're actually in the situation, you realize that no matter what label you wanna put on people, they are YOU, they are humans with families and loves and fears and everything. With the exception of true psychopaths, no human can kill another human and feel okay with it, no matter what that human believed or did.
LOL . DID HE KEEP HIS HUMANITY WHEN HE MURDERED THOSE OTHER PEOPLE?
@@salamjihad3449 humans are humans I'm not saying they shouldn't be killed, I'm just saying killing another human fucks up your psyche
I'm sorry you went through what you went through. This is why I always thank a veteran for their service. I do it for the things I understand and what I don't. Dad was in W2 and my Mom was a nurse in a MASH unit in Korea. Thank you for your service.

God this is so touching - this chap is an absolute hero. The bit about his dog saving his life got me...
Me too. I have PTSD as well and he hit home on some things makes me not feel alone.
They bring peace:)))
Check out the book The Longest Kill that's his story and a compelling one too
@@bucurosmihai thank you for your 2 cents, Mihai. I love you.
@@damiananders3598 it's about a man who was brain washed by the government to kill people, right? Is it that one?
For real, him talking about his dog saving his life. I cried so hard. I was there, my 9 month son woke up in the other room and started laughimg just as I was about to pull. He'll always be my hero.
Damn thats sad. Hope healing goes well friend, and thank you for not leaving your son.
I hope you’re doing better now and are getting help. Your son is always gonna need you.
I have a similar attempt story to Craig’s- all my pets followed me to where I was going to do it. 4 dogs, 2 cats and a horse just stared at me and I couldn’t bare the thought of them being scared by the sound of the shot.
So I hurried back to the house to put the gun away before my boyfriend got back home - I had timed it so that it wouldn’t take long to find me.
That was 20 yrs ago and I’ve struggled everyday and attempted a few times since then but I’m glad it didn’t end like that then.
The times when Ive got back to that point again, Ive thought about every detail of the reality of the aftermath. What it will do to everyone who has to deal with what I’ve done, what happens to my pets is one that really gets me as I live alone now. That snaps me out of it.
Greta Hunt have you ever looked for God? Asked him for help? He loves you and I guarantee you you're here today because he loves you and has a plan for you. Seek him and you will find him. He sent Jesus for us. He will give you new and everlasting purpose. I'm praying for you. You aren't alone.
Remember, suicide is ALWAYS the wrong choice
You take care of yourself Josh. Sounds like you've got someone who needs you around. Best wishes.
Guys like this make me proud to be British, we have hero's like this fighting for us. This channel has given us a chance to hear his story. This is what makes us human. By the end of this video I wanted to hug the lad and thank him. I only wish him the best.
*heroes FFS
snap out of it man... what level of clueless delusion is this? Were you even listening to the guy??? "Heroes" ffs get a grip
Cause I say hero's I don't mean people in capes. I mean people who save others, the planet, people we can look up to, people who give us hope and they can teach us something. Some people call them hero's, I do, if you don't like it well I aren't going to lose sleep over it.
@@harryjay4555 right but theres no need to add an apostrophe because there’s no omission is there. Also the fact this guy was brainwashed enough to actually kill people for people who will never know/care for him and for a country with a horrible colonial past gives you hope? bit weird. Also in addition to that he has to spend the rest of his life trying his best to overcome those experiences. You could be proud to be human for his ability to carry on and try his best to overcome - you should never be proud to be british though (because its that exact nationalism that lands us in these situations) unless youre brainwashed of course which is completely understandable
I'm holding back my tears! I am glad you got the help you needed!
The level of respect this man deserves is untold. Hero.
if u call someone that goes to war a hero i dont wana sound disrespectful but u should prob be ashamed first beacuse they kill other peaople and that dosnt make him a hero,
beacuse i saw a post from afganistanian person that said dear america your 9/11 is our 24/7
@@amonthebeat2343 why don't u go watch cnn or something
@@harrybarr8741 i dont watch tv.but calling someone that kills peaople a hero its not good cuz even he is not proud of ehat he has done
@@amonthebeat2343 He plain is a hero. Like Craig said himself: "It was them or the 12 guys down there". Soldiers are heroes, especially those wo come out and actually expose the side effects of it.
Not what you're angry at is politicians that create the war, those are far from any heroes.
But the average weak minded liberal won’t even try to give it to him
Fucking hell when he started talking about his dog tilting it’s head and looking at him I have so much respect for this guy and I’m so happy he’s still here with us
Not gonna lie, that was a pretty emotional moment.
I read a book about him when I was in AIT, his story was super amazing and it would be absolutely amazing to just hang out for a day with him or anyone that goes through what he deals with, if anyone is dealing with PTSD, just know we love you and you are a absolutely beautiful human being!!
what an incredible man and it sounds like just as an incredible woman supporting him, i hope you find peace my friend, you have earned it a million times over.
