It might be the brain trauma (CTE) instead of PTSD. Firing High caliber rifle is enough to start destroying the brain and cause CTE. Let alone blowing up charges or using mortars
They do, but it can’t be forced on them, they need to ask for it. They make sure everyone knows help is available. Honestly, too many of them don’t get help cause they don’t wanna lose 2nd amend
The V.A is SUCH a joke. I know guys who saw no action and claimed they got they booty touched while in service and are on 90% payout. I knew a guy who for a fee could deliver other vets 100% payout , but he'd take money the first 3 years. It was wild. Saw docs prescribe pills then cut them off . All sorts of wild shit. I'm nit even a vet and I saw all these shitty situations just from friends who served.
This brother is definitely a motivation I was going through extremely psychosis and when I heard how he he got through seal training I got this sudden energy and I felt like my psychosis was my training and it wasn't as bad, in my eyes hearing his story saved my life
Brother, the darkest nights lead to brightest dawns. Do your best to know fix temporary problems with permanent solutions. You can change everything and anything about yourself given enough time and enough forgiveness. Do you best. I love ya and I don't know ya, I've been there before and I still have more living and loving to do. Plus this new call of duty is sweet.
Such a surprisingly common myth is that all people who are suicidal hide it and won't tell anyone. This leads to people assume that those who reach out for help aren't "really suicidal" which is so incredibly damaging.
I think it's we don't want to be labeled or looked at crazy so we just never say anything is why I never did and sad a person feels that way around the only people that know them best family and friends...nobody can understand what pushes a person to that point unless ur that person is what I've learned so many things that can make a person do that...before I got to that point I said I would never...but when I was there I said damn I see how
I was paralyzed from anxiety, also called Functional Neurological Disorder i was as down as i could be, end of last year i was officially back walking and feeling better. When your down you never think it’s a way up but GOD does it every time🙏🙏 my testimony
We’ve all felt the feeling, he’s owning and describing his experience to guide others through the hard times he’s been through. This is what life is all about, each one teach one.
This guy is so humble, considering all he has done, surviving some of the hardest physical and mental training, the number of kills he has under his belt, and the struggles to re-adapt to living in society, to say he hasn't lived enough shows a level of humility that is astounding. Thank you, Nick, for having the courage to tell your story in such a brutally honest way. When he speaks I listen because he shook the hand of death, and what he is saying is backed by the toughest kind of experience.
Damn I’ve watched every one of these clips from him and this the first time I’ve heard his voice crack. Respect bro. Glad to see my man is still a human being.
Same here, I watched some 2 or 3 times and looking forward to the next one everyday, I'm really waiting for the entire interview to be released to watch it again. The guy that's interviewing him has done a great job with his questions
Man seeing this guy on other peoples channels and how cool and funny he is as well just what a bad ass soldier he was a d served our nation, I can't even imagine him taking his life and not being around. Stay strong and be happy Nick
Amazing interview. I was at fort sill Oklahoma as an instructor. Off my last deployment 9 months earlier. One of my low points -putting a 45 in my mouth and my ex wife walking into the room and talking me off the ledge. I didn’t realize how much I was devastated and how much it impacted her either as it came up in my divorce and custody battle. Whoever watches this interview and reads my comment it isn’t worth it you can be great years later -you hit rock bottom, you’re at your lowest point- shit you got nowhere to go but up.
When you think you aren’t motivating, you are definitely a motivator whether believe it or not. Thank you for your service sir and thank you for telling your story!!!
That’s the most unselfish and realistic answer I ever heard he has been through so much and can tell you he don’t have it all figured out but everyone else claims to
“I was unsure of what happens after that” i think for those of us who’ve been in that moment we relate to that on a deep level. We want to end that pain we feel but we dont know what death is but we do know what it is to be alive and to feel, and thats alone is the only reason alot of us are even here.
I had to quit smoking weed because when I would smoke I would get in deep thought, and certain trauma I buried deep would resurface causing self check out thoughts
Glad you here man found your interview last night watched it all up to here and went searching for more really appreciate your sacrifices and honesty especially during black history month!❤
At least not when it's more serious interviews like this cuz vlad would spend the whole interview comparing himself to the person in the interview instead of letting them tell there story
Man this dude touched my soul with what he saying about motivational stuff. This level of wisdom I've never heard and I've followed a LOT of successful people. He reminds me of Job from the bible with that one. The humility to basically say I'm here and I'm good today but how can I sit here and tell someone else to "get off your ass", "you can do it", when sometimes just keeping themselves from going over the edge in the face of all their trials might be a miracle in itself for some people. When just getting out of bed may be someone's miracle in itself; living by God's grace and taking nothing for granted. You have to have really lived to understand such things 🙏🏾
I love this guy I wana give him a big hug ❤ I know he’s going to do more great things! You have so much life to live and much more to offer keep going brother
His testimony is amazing, def the best interview out. It’s a breath of fresh air with this interview instead of the normal degenerate rappers. Sincere thank you to our military for your service!!
this combat veteran and american hero is sharing the stories of a lot of military operators. i can relate to so much of his story. awesome interview. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. someone is always paying for it.
Once again, I really appreciate how Prez is conducting this convo…that was a very tough question to ask, but he framed it in a way that didn’t come off as insensitive or crass..”I was my hardest target…” wow
Man you can see it in his eyes and facial movements that really messed with his head. I’m glad he’s hear. Anyone reading this I bought his first book and man totally recommend getting it gets really into detail
The guy doing the interview need a mainstream journalist job because he's asking the right questions no matter how painful and deep they are, awesome journalist.
I respect where Mr. Irving is coming from with the motivation cause one thing I've noticed about Goggins, I think he does what he does because there is a constant need/desire to prove people wrong.
That A.M. F.M. spoke to me and that's so real. Actual motivation and fake motivation it can hit you in either form but it's all motivation so to speak.
As a Vet myself I have been down that dark tunnel and still have demons I fight with at times. Ironic he mentioned a bottle of Jack in the mist of the battle of fighting the demons.
I absolutely felt this… when I lost my brother all my motivation went away. He talking on the realest level of the unseen and unheard.
yet not talking about Jesus who was acquainted with sorrow?
@GDMHification Are you Jesus freaks capable of having even a shred of legitimate empathy?

@Kenneth Jones it’s hard man
“The hardest target I ever had to shoot.” PTSD is no joke. Its crazy that the government don’t provide long term metal help for these dudes.
It might be the brain trauma (CTE) instead of PTSD. Firing High caliber rifle is enough to start destroying the brain and cause CTE. Let alone blowing up charges or using mortars
Or give em at least a free 75k a year we too busy givin money to other countries
They actually do.
They do, but it can’t be forced on them, they need to ask for it. They make sure everyone knows help is available. Honestly, too many of them don’t get help cause they don’t wanna lose 2nd amend

You like cracked voices, ok.

Exactly !! Not these wannabe tough fools running they mouth
Real shit
Damn I felt that, he said he was the hardest target he had to shoot… but this dude is as real as it gets imo just humble and real down to earth
Being a combat veteran myself, I feel all his pain.
Thanks for youre service.
Thank you NICHOLAS IRVING. YOUR SERVICE IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
Glads he’s here to tell his story ! 🙏🏾
Glad Is Glad He’s Here To Tell His Story 😂
U glad he talking about killing innocent people. U are the devil 👿
one of the best interviews i’ve seen. good questions and not interrupting
Dude, this is one of the BEST interviews I've ever seen. This dude is so real.
Hearing this man talk.....such a realist and extremely self aware. Nothing but Respect

One guy I would love to meet in person. People of his caliber need to be protected at all cost. I admire him. Deep down I’m sure he’s a good dude.
That’s the most unselfish and realistic answer I ever heard he has been through so much and can tell you he don’t have it all figured out but everyone else claims to
Man this is so deep shouts out to him and all survivors of s.a glad they’re still here ❤
I like that Vlad is not interviewing him. He is getting the time to say what he needs to say, and what he is saying needs to be heard.
Glad finally changed it up a bit!!! One of the best interviews In a while

No cap
I luv how throughout this interview they both listen each other keenly before answering
Truly a KING my favorite interview of all time. Thanks for your service!
Real shit.
You need to do more interviews. Personal ones. This is amazing. Night and day vlad bs questions.
Do your thing man. Questions are on point!
2:29 That smirk afterward, he knows he proved himself against the so-called baddest men whilst not being one himself
I had to quit smoking weed because when I would smoke I would get in deep thought, and certain trauma I buried deep would resurface causing self check out thoughts
be of sober mind
Bro same
Great interview praying for your mental peace and health brother! Keep going!
HUMBLE this man is! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE AND ALL THE OTHERS SOLDIERS THAT PUT THERE LIVES ON THE LINE TO PROTECT US ❤️
Whoa this interview went dark these past 5 videos. It was cool the 1st part with the achievements and etc but now damn shit crazy what war do .
Love this man he's so honest and real
What a great honest interview never follow a trend or anything just been him self much respect for this man it was a honor to watch theses clips
Glad you here man found your interview last night watched it all up to here and went searching for more really appreciate your sacrifices and honesty especially during black history month!❤
We don’t even want vlad doing interviews no more 💯
You talking bullshit
Indeed !!
I’ll definitely check out Shawn’s interviews now
At least not when it's more serious interviews like this cuz vlad would spend the whole interview comparing himself to the person in the interview instead of letting them tell there story
Vlad is more on the annoying side of things. Self centered..always gotta prove he hip..shawn jus does his job
This whole series on him is so good
That was a bar , the only target I ever missed and hardest to kill 💪🏽💪🏽
Yeh definitely was
Action motivation, false motivation. Am and Fm. Who just learned that!
@1:45 “It’s the hardest target I ever had to shoot, and the only one I really missed… Thankfully..” 😮
Never give up
This guy has the most authentic relatable veteran story. I think most combat veterans relate to his story over most of the other veterans in the media

Dude a real 1. 💯
this combat veteran and american hero is sharing the stories of a lot of military operators. i can relate to so much of his story. awesome interview. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. someone is always paying for it.

Sean Perez didn’t even know he was going to give it up like this!
Fr I felt him when he said wow a few times.
Keep pushing forward brother ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Vlad…. Dude who did this interview is your golden goose. A true journalist. Jus lyk. 100
Nick's a hero for telling this story. Shawn is a hero for holding it. Vlad is a hero for sharing it.
Well done all around. Thank you.
What can I say? Peace to those suffering in this world. Coming at you from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
We need a part 2 Prez ASAP I believe he has plenty more for to put down for us to pick up amazing humble honest dude👍🏽
Shawn prez did a masterful job with this entire interview. Huge kudos !
This guy is awesome. Glad he's good at killing enemies and not himself.
Never give up
Coldest Interview EVER Salute Young Bruh💪🏾
Your story definitely healed me I'm crying cus I understand everything you saying.
“Don’t ever judge another man until you’ve walked a mile in his shoes” could never ring truer.
You here for a reason sir!
Dam bro I get straight up motivating off the relatively of your story in facing fears you would be the prime example and epitomy of a humble beast 💪🏾
Dont even need glad for this one, this interview has been a banger

“They’re all Navy Seals” Yeah, we know. A Navy Seal will always let you know they’re a Navy Seal 😂
As all the troops would agree, " I'm picking up what your putting down Sargent!"
I appreciate him sharing his story on day's he felt low. I appreciate him telling us what not to do.
This may save my life😊
best interview I watched this year so far.
Man Shawn Prez definitely did this interview better than Vlad would have done
This guy truly lives in reality. Much respect to his honesty
Motivation comes in all different shapes and forms....facts!!!!!
This guy is such a realist and that is always something that’s appreciated
The fact you can see his head already beginning to say “yes” before the question is even completed is unnerving
He's on another level in "coming to terms with"
" it's the hardest target I ever had to shoot , and the only one I ever rarely missed " PTSD is no laughing matter man 🙏
