I think what I like about Nick is that he is just real... not pretending to be the hero and providing a real-world account of war. He is a hero. Thank you Julian for interviewing him.
Yeah, he did downplay his feats. Because in the book "The Killing School: Inside the World's Deadliest Sniper Program", he explains how he located the Chechen and they shot at Chechens position, but couldn't kill him
Ex-Royal Air Force, 13yr service 🇬🇧🇺🇲 This was a fkn intense story. First, I salute you. Secondly - and this may seem controversial to the uninitiated and the ignorant - there was certainly bravery on the enemy: a bloke in a plaid shirt and a white shirt try to actually climb the wall of a compound, filled with battle-hardened warriors.... fuck! It's difficult to see the two sides. Then you wonder... you were sent in by men in collars and ties, with fancy pens... Anyhow, back to my point: I salute you.
No doubt, big brass balls on those guys in simple shirts, no body armor whatsoever, trying to climb inside a compound full of geared up, armed to the teeth, foreign military men.
A compilation of black hawk down with the artery going up in the femur, when he claimed a .50 667grain passes close enough to a head the pressure wave of it tumbling. Can kill a human, an a story of a SGT slapping him and having him knock off someone on doing farm work, 2 pieces directly from Hathcock white feather book. But in 09 in a target rich environment a man who gave up so easily he wanted to stand up taking on to the head or raise his hand 🤚 because he wanted to take a 7.62 to the hand before “slapping on his helmet and getting his bell ring” makes me think he definitely has a lot of confirmed kills in a safe target rich backiped up circumstances
A total nail-biting story. This really needs to be a movie. So much respect for these guys. Irv and his fellow soldiers deserve the Medal of Honor for this.
Julian - I love how you ask the guest questions to assist in visualizing the event. It really helps put the listener in the moment. It’s like reading a book, but with clarity.
@@altairibnlaahad9348 its similar to how when you were a child and messed up you might have feared how your father etc reacted and punished you for disobeying. Also this concept is not limited to being afraid in a negative sense. The “fear of God” in Scripture typically refers to a deep respect, reverence, and awe for God’s majesty, holiness, and power. It encourages humility and obedience to His will. So similar to you
@@aintfromrounhere8099 interesting. However, I am pragmatic man. Words mean things to me. The word fear, has a separate and distinct difference than respect, or reverence, which are closely related.
But god doesn’t punish us for sins or crimes. We do that and only because of morals we’re taught. God has zero nothing to do with us. When isis or terrorist actually succeed they thank god. So does that mean god is in their favor? No not at all. It’s all made up and see what it leads too
"That water was so good"; it's hard to imagine, having gone through something like that and having survived. Something simple like water must mean everything.
I don't know the guy, but seeing him on a few interviews and messing around with Matt on Demo Ranch, in a way, it's hard to feel like Nick is a stranger. What a guy, he's just real.
The fact that the Chechen sniper was targeting the other sniper, is actually both nerve racking and exhilarating at the same time. I'd be like alright mofo I guess it's you and me then
His uniform is far from pristine. He is absolutely filthy, you can hardly see the colors of the camo print. And he is dry because it's extremely hot there. literally minutes after being out of the water you are dry.
I got a question for anybody: have any of y'all ever had a dream where you got shot or stabbed or something, and knew you were dying and you got to that point where you just accept that you're gonna die and feel that calm....I've had that dream a bunch of times and I always felt like that's really what it will be like when I die...eventually you'll just accept it.
Unless you were the guy stuck in a hole. Pinned downed by a couple hundred dudes. Taking incoming fire for 3 hours, as sniper fire hits inches away. But, tell me more about click bait😂

I feel like he always tries to keep it accurate. Self edits trying not to exaggerate. Downplays his feats. Dude is a badass
Yeah, he did downplay his feats. Because in the book "The Killing School: Inside the World's Deadliest Sniper Program", he explains how he located the Chechen and they shot at Chechens position, but couldn't kill him
I think if I remember correctly, the Chechen was shooting from the back of a room with curtains, keeping a distance from the window
To a sniper, accuracy is everything
He sure did. He's such a down to earth, humble dude.
i never get tired of Nick Irving story

This struck me as well, to have the balls to try to hop that wall. Either way I'm glad these guys stacked them and didn't get overrun.

Thank you for your service although the men in suits don't care
Dude ......"laying hate down" is ice cold 🥶😂😂😂😂 HOOYAH. Thanks for your service brother.
this guy's stories seem completely honest
Incredibly, although I think he is mistaken about his belief of this life having no meaning or repercussions into the next.

@@jgs_gamestudio9096 He grew up in Voodoo and witchcraft so he has no thoughts or hope for eternity. He needs Jesus.

No wonder these guys have PTSD.

The roadrunner team sound hard core.
I was 3rd batt after nick left. That team were a bunch of pipe hittin mfers
This Dude is a good and humble warrior.
Honestly this guy seems humble and legit. The rest of special forces that I see in TH-cam seem like a childish action man.
They need to make a movie about this battle. Much respect to these men. 🇺🇸
Its sad. Being out there for nothing
Thanks for your service man! That shit seemed nuts.
I love how they can laugh about getting hit now. Brothers in arms.

It is said that we fear what we don’t understand.(death) Actually, we only truly fear that which we are not prepared for.
Not true. I fear God. Fearing God is the beginning of wisdom
I’ve always found that to be a fascinating perspective. Personally I have no fear of God. Immeasurable respect, but no fear.

Nick always great to listen to but dont get it twisted this man is very disciplined
Handful of me pause 😂

Amazing…… God said your time was not done here on earth yet. More good to do for all of us. Truly grateful and amazed by your service.
He was good because he was hard to kill/ counter but he wasnt Great because he'd miss
Fascinating !!!
Awesome dude, read Reaper yrs. ago.
Glad you could get him to laugh about this to some degree.
Why is Tom Hanks in the thumbnail? Was Nick saving Private Ryan in this story?
This guy is Jon Jones if he went to the military.
I don't have the patience for this long freaking story 🙄
LOOOL.. Really that picture was right after a 8 hour fire fight where he just came out a mile of brown water yet his uniform is dry and pristine lol!
His uniform is far from pristine. He is absolutely filthy, you can hardly see the colors of the camo print. And he is dry because it's extremely hot there. literally minutes after being out of the water you are dry.
Anybody knows how they got out of that situation? He didnt finish the story
Imagine the grandfather he going to become that child is have a adventure for a childhood
Nick is a bad ass
Isn't it crazy. People who give a F, are the ones that care about every one else after you passed. Im scared to die but also not.
Yo so this is crazy cause those Chechyn dudes totally look like they could be in frkom a far. Blonde hair. Red hair blue eyes. It’s bananas
Some of these guys will exaggerate
I was going to like the video but it's at 666

Nothing new about spraying blood everywhere!! Brownish, reddish😂😅😅😅 BTW USMC veteran in da House 🏠🏡!
These stories are getting deeper and deeper I liked him at first he was real but now he's just making up crap
why do u think that
Meanwhile he's naming names & his stories aren't disputed so everyone is in on it.
Wild shit
Pause 😂
RLTW⚡
Megaaaaaa clickbait as always 😅😅
Unless you were the guy stuck in a hole. Pinned downed by a couple hundred dudes. Taking incoming fire for 3 hours, as sniper fire hits inches away. But, tell me more about click bait😂
@lb0ogeymanl810 non sense stuff
Sounds like a coach potato warrior complaining. Maybe he wants visual aids and can't use his auditory skills to understand close quarters combat.
@ratagris21 Maybe U want a kid from this Guy that' makes such a crappy clickbaits LoL 😂😆
@hudsonchico7565, is this your first time trolling? Happy Thanksgiving..
First to watch he🎉
🧢
OK neckbeard. Time to leave the basement
y?
Weird, no one asked for your opinion yet here you are giving it.
There’s no possible way blood was squirting 20 feet. Just another unnecessary embellishment from this guy.
It probably can. I cut my scalp above my forehead and a blood drop spurted up to the ceiling In a standard kitchen. Not a artery...sooo
Lol. Ok.
Ghoulish shit. Have we sunk so low?
Does Nick not believe after we pass away but there’s no afterlife?
