I’ve never witnessed a more honest, pragmatic, real, relevant,valuable, humbling, human conversation. Thank you both for sharing. Role models for us all.
Never have seen a better example. Amen brother and God Bless
Agreed
Both of these men are role models for the entire planet
“ I want them to remember like this” That really got to me. You both are true inspirations to us all. Stay strong.
I can understand that a fighter like him would rather die on his feet rather than in a chair. Godspeed James, truly moving.
Exactly what I was thinking . Definitely a inspiration to other men .
He should be with his family, not fighting for a cause that he has no stakes in. It's a lose, lose for him
@@funkymunky7935that’s his decision
At least he will be going out on his own terms, and potentially helping a lot of people at the same time. Much respect.
Is that more important than spending it with his family and the ones that love him
@@trexx32 i would agree but with his last little bit of time left on this earth he may give others more time to spend with family and friends
@@trexx32 His body and something his family needs to respect.
@@trexx32 Wouldn’t that be up to him?
@Emmanuel Goldstein That's bait.
James Yeager, I believe, has done everything for what he believes was right. The same goes for John Lovell. It’s a shame that James is finally fighting a fight that he can’t win. This video will be a beautiful memorial, and a reminder of the time before the fights we will be fighting a few years from now. I for one, will be praying for James, John, and all the other great fighters we owe an urepayable debt to. Thanks to James and men like him we will be better prepared for the hard times that I’m sure are ahead of us. Godspeed James.
Imagine being such a warrior that when you're in a fight you absolutely cannot win, you STILL fight.
Exactly right John, well said!
If James got THE CALL to do this I wish him GODSPEED and hope he fulfills what he is truly here to do. Bless you, for posting this. 🙏☝🏼🥇
There is nothing wrong with going out swinging, I just feel like the Ukrainian thing is a tarp. I agree Godspeed
Truly willing to live life to the fullest before ALS ravages his body
^Also everyone subscribe to this man. Best long range shooting videos on TH-cam.
@@Doc6mm Selfish to his wife, family.
@@meh9682 agreed.
Rest in Peace, James. Our memories of you will never end.
Nothing makes me weep more than watching another man weep. It breaks my heart. RIP brother.
"When have we not been pawns?" His complete honesty and humility in acknowledging what he knows that he does not know, makes him a master of being truly enlightened in his self awareness. It's so impressive seeing that level of humility in human beings, especially facing down his own mortality. Dude is so courageous, so real, so aware, so enlightened, so brave, and so dammed dignified. Hey James, if you read this, God bless my friend. You are my hero. You're everything I would ever hope or wish my own child could be. Stay safe and Godspeed my friend. You Sir, your spirit, your legacy will remembered for eternity. And THAT,...is immortality.
Your first sentence is the definintion of insanity.
You should go fight. Stop sending kids into a fight that isn't our business.
Damn that's a powerful statement.
“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.”

@@punishedsnake6141 If I had to guess, he’s in this to defend innocent women and children, not the Ukrainian government. He ain’t anyone’s pawn.
James is the truest warrior I’ve ever seen. The man is the definition of “on your shield or with it.” Keep it up brother.
“I want them to remember me like this” I fucking broke… bless you James you are a legend in this industry, always in the fight brother.
I came back to watch this again just to see the real James. I hope he's resting well with the Creator.
“I want them to remember me like this.” That hit hard, and in James’ context is completely understandable.
This was the most depressing episode of WPS I have seen. I wish James Yeager nothing but the best! Your dedication and self sacrifice is greatly appreciated. I wish more people in society had the heart and mind of James Yeager and John Lovell. Best of luck and God bless!
Seeing two friends, brothers in arms, warriors, shedding tears together and discussing openly about one last fight and death. It hits anyone with a pulse in the soul. Best video of 2022.
GOD Bless and keep you James Yeager, A true Warrior... See you at the last rally point Brother!!!!!!!...
It’s difficult to see the mighty James Yeager choke up, I’ve never had the honor to receive training from him in person but his videos have taught me so much. Give ‘em hell James and godspeed brother, you will live on as a legend 💪🔫🇺🇸
This was an intense conversation. Having a calling, facing death, the mortality of our lives. John and James getting deep. I should have waited to watch this until after work and not watch this during lunch. I'm going to have go back to work with tears in my eyes. 😂
Thankfully, I didn't see this till about ten minutes before clocking out. Haha. About the 15 minutes mark was definitely the cause of that dirt that the wind blew into my eyes.
It's best if we embrace our eventual death early on. Lost my dad a year ago. I was 26. I tried to ignore it before that because dad and I had gone through a lot and I always tried to be positive for him I guess. With him gone, I'm a lot more melancholy, or stoic I suppose (not really sad per se), about the whole thing. I chose not to take the cowards way out when he went, so now it's just living life out until I go there by some other means.
Pollen.
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 I can't say that I understand(because I have never experienced someone close to me passing the finish line in my life), but I can say that I am scared to experience the same. I'm not sure if I have the strength you have facing that scenario. That thought also scares the hell out of me. I'm glad you are strong though, because I had an opportunity to read someone's perspective regarding that situation. Thanks for teaching a stranger about difficult situations. Cheers bubba!
@@JGizzardofOz totally mountain cedar..... Maybe oak. Not really sure what I'm allergic to.
Phil 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." We're praying for you James, much love from Florida. John I agree with everything you told him 💯 Well said brother
This is so deep. "I want to be remembered like this" I don't think any man wants to be remembered at his weakest. Much RESPECT.
Yeah but it takes a real man to realize when he is a detriment. If you leave your family to go overseas and fight for the security of foreign land…or you really protecting your loved ones? Id wager no. And im not sure i can be convinced a family without a patriarch is an objectively “good” thing.
@@peternorth1721 if he with utter certainty has a terminal illness that is both unrecoverable and lethal and has a very limited time to continue living
Then he, Yeager as 2 options, obviously there is more but in this case, in this simple dichotomy, its either fight a war that has some value to the west or lay down and rest with the proximity of his family
I know I would pick family and go in peace, but I would be lying If I didn't also think that fighting one last time, with yeager's talents ofc, to go in a blaze of glory is an equally acceptable way to go to me, as either way his family is gonna be without a father, so he is gonna be remembered as the man who passes peacefully with his family around him? Or a man who didn't go down without one last fight?
A difficult choice, and im not yeager, but I certainly understand why he made the choice he did
yeah we will remember him to end like a f..... ukra nazi
Why the hell would he want to be remembered like that? I don't think he said that.
I've been watching James for years, just after he came to TH-cam. He's been super inspirational and one of my biggest regrets will be to not have trained under him at Tactical Response.
I've always loved this guy, he's such a straight shooter, and a courageous man. All the respect I can dole out goes to him. God be with you brother. War Poet to the max. Respect to you
Watching you two men run the emotional gamut from tears to laughter together speaks to your strength and fortitude. Be strong and of good courage.
R.I.P. James Yeager!!! What a legend, a true patriot and good man who was loved by so many and trained so many in defense of the liberty that we must all never stop defending! My prayers to his friends and family!
Unfortunately he had a rough childhood. We learned this when he said " my dad gave me nothing".
@@wannabecarguy not being a jerk mate, but your comment is odd. I'm not sure I follow how it pertains. He's made no secret of his upbringing.
i disagree, we should interfere in Ukraine and Russian war also the idea of liberty is nonsense
@radioblitz1494 what's so nonsensical about the idea of liberty and the only thing we will accomplish in Ukraine is 100 billion more in debt and a depleted armory just to defend a country that buys our politicians and does nothing for us so why should we defend Ukraine
Honorable. Nothing but respect for him. As I get older these kinds of things play more on my heart than they used to. Thank you both for sharing this moment of sadness and joy between you two.
PS I am NOT having any water tricking from my eye, nope.
All of us have to face our mortality and death alone, its very horrific thing to think about.
Wow, this is heartbreaking to hear. I met James several years ago at Shot Show and he was a humble guy. We spoke for a while and he provided quite a lot of encouragement as I was starting out my journey on YT. Godspeed James.
lol good riddance
Putin? Is that you?
Why?
CP! Love your channel. I’ve learned a lot from you.
I've always followed James but hate watched him a lot of the time. But that aside, I'm welling up watching this. What a brave man.
Since we are talking about it. There is only one time James made me mad. I was filming a video at SHOT that he crashed. I had some people keeping the crowd out of the way while we did the spot. One of those people was my dad. Of course those two are the two that clashed. I didn’t brief anyone on the possibility that this is something we do. There was a small physical and verbal exchange between them that I had to quickly resolve. Afterward I introduced them and it was all good. When I informed my dad that James had ALS he wept, something I have seen only a few times in my life.
Thank you for doing this video John.
RIP James Yeager. James was one of the first channels I watched when I got into the 2A community. He taught me alot of what I know today. He will live on for a long time, and his teachings forever. Thank you for leaving your print on this community brother.
James Yeager’s calling is def as a warrior poet. Hearing him speak truth to this was heartening.
Godspeed, Mr. Yeager.
My thoughts and prayers go to James and his family and friends. We all have a path and it's always good to be able to choose as much of it as you personally can. Keep fighting until the very end.
That was the most "real" conversation I have ever witnessed. The love that John and James have for each other is unmistakable. God bless James and grant him the end of this earthly life that he desires. Warrior Poets they both are.
God speed brother, make your peace with your loved ones the world doesnt want it right now.
As a Marine and 22 year Law Enforcement Officer and trainer, I have to say that the “call” to go is an individual choice. Regardless of age, illness or decree you have to make your own choice. I do know that I want to support Yeager and his decisions. It’s a personal decision and as a cancer and stroke survivor I simply say this, “ May your worth be seen, your will be strong and you warrior spirit be unleashed and free” . God speed and carry on.
Thank you for your service Cecil.
God bless you.
Or I dunno, go volunteer at an orphanage, or a dog rescue. Not fight in some banker's oil war.
Some some people are pushing some religious facade to justify the fact they really want to do *Soldiers of Fortune* stuff in some country with politics they don’t understand, in a war they don’t understand.

@@Skripontoast Well said Mr. Skripontoast, well said.
This was a tough one to watch, but it's a true testimony to the warrior's spirit and the warrior culture. Love both of you
Yes, a “true warrior” fights for every land
But his own, at the behest of the EU and Israel.
Very sad to see someone losing their abilities. James is a brave and honorable man. I know it was a tough video to record because he's you're friend, but this really was a great video and we appreciate it. Thanks John and James. .
It is more sad to see a young kid not have the same abilities that we all have. Instead it turns into a genetic disease or something neurological. The hard part for the communities who have any type of disability is the aspect of getting out there and talking about it. I feel bad for a lot of the young kids and having to deal with a lot more weight. The dream killer is in front of that script and it might slow down or not. Be faithful, healthy, work on finding the right people.

My man. What a great interview. I weep with you today, having watched this video again. Kudos to you. God Bless James, and his gift that has passed on to us all.
With tears rolling down my face, I wonder what kind of man am I. This is a good moment in time to reflect on our lives, our loved ones, and the friendships and relationships surrounding us. Thank you for sharing this live call with James.
For me it reminds me to put all petty differences aside with friends and family. Sad to hear about James condition.
One of the most inspiring things I’ve ever heard. He’s falling apart but refuses to quit fighting or seeking justice in exchange for comfort. Go James! Show us how it’s done!
I've disliked James at times in the past, but this honestly made me tear up quite a few times. Seeing a strong man suffer is honestly traumatic, I've seen it a handful of times in my personal life and its honestly deeply unsettling.
You know the the first time I heard of Yeager was the 50 reasons episode and at the beginning I wanted to call John and ask him, do you want me to split up lip for you?! Then as I got more familiar with him my feelings completey changed.
This a a guy who seriously gives a F%&*.
I got mad respect if anything at all.
Do your thing James!
God created us and to him we shall return. Sometimes it’s challenges like this, that humbles us and prepare us for our return for our permanent life. It also serves as a wake up call for us.
Same boat. Trained with him in years ago, haven’t always agreed or liked the man but I respect him and I feel for him. This breaks my heart. Best to you Mr. Yeager.
Man this was a really hard one to watch. Especially in hindsight. He had incredible courage to speak so openly about his mortality.
Who cares.
Beautiful conversation guys. You both have helped create tens of thousands of warrior poets. Men who love, serve, and protect those around them. James, I pray for you, your family, your journey into Ukraine, and for your soul to find Jesus Christ. Love ya brother
I feel for you brother my wife is dying of Huntington's disease which is like ALS Alzheimer's and Parkinson's all rolled into one jacked up to 10 no treatment no cure God bless you man love your show you're great
I’m really sorry to hear that. I hope you both find peace. I will pray for you both. God bless, Scott
Bless you and your wife, a very close friend of mines father died of huntingtons, and my friend inherited it :/
Y’all are in my prayers
Well thank you everybody I truly appreciate that she is bravest woman I know she's a fighter and she'll fight till the end but James God bless you man you go do what you need to do you're the man.
Scott, I serve the Amazing Creator, the Great I Am, He is all things at all times to all! He is the great Healer, the Restorer of health! I pray right now in the Name above every Name Jesus Christ that your wife receive a complete and total miracle of complete and total healing, I send forth the Word of healing expecting our great God to honor His Word and bring healing in Jesus Name, amen!
Much love brother,
Rick
God bless you and her
Praying for yall
He's a legend. A man with many talents. Go give em hell James. And if all else fails, go out in a blaze of glory!
James was built for this. He literally trains civilians to use weapons to defend themselves against all threats foreign and domestic.
R.I.P BROTHER JAMES YEAGER. I MISS YOU MY FRIEND
God that’s so heartbreaking, I don’t know him personally and I’m crying. He’s a true warrior and a hero. Much love for you!
May God's love and compassion guide you brother!
This is one of the hardest interviews I’ve ever watched. To seeing James from years ago and hearing him speak now gets me in the feels. I can only imagine as he feels being a outsider, but I do understand his views. Love you brotha god speed.
This isn’t what I was expecting, and although so sad and tragic, this was so inspirational for me at 23 years old.
To live is Christ, to die is gain. God bless James & God be with you
In my prayers brother!
Crazy. Watching his videos in 2014 and seeing the difference in his speech then is huge. RIP man.
I am now weeping. Such a great person. The achievements he has done in the gun community is overwhelming. God speed brother.
"When have we not been pawns?"
Never.
We have always been pawns. We just may not have always been useful.
Thanks James, Thanks John for sharing this wise and humble conversation.
I'd rather not kill in the name of globalism and for the failures of obama/biden and the puppet zelensky govt. It's too little, too late. Our corrupt media has hidden the fact that there was atleast 8 years that both of those govt's could have came to a deal to prevent this. I'm not going to explain to God when I die that I chose to kill, not for my country, but for the failures of another corrupt gov't.
@@SpartanArmy117 no you have it all wrong. Biden and the globalists wanted this war. If they didn’t, they would not have baited Putin to attack by Kamala claiming Ukraine was going to join nato. They want an excuse to destroy the dollar with inflation and energy costs. Just look at the direction they are pushing the USA into decline, poverty and destruction, eliminate our 2a, eliminate gasoline, make all energy electric, able to be shut off. Able to be Controler, and make us dependent on them for everything. Have you heard Klaus Schwab speak? The great reset? You will own nothing and be happy. Have you ever read Harrison Bergeron? This is how they want all of us with the inability to improve our lives and dependent on them. Who Is gaining the most? China.
@@SpartanArmy117 you make a point…you can never get off a speeding train…
As a warrior poet and a therapist, this was hard to watch. I’ve always had respect for James and seeing him in this light is eye opening. I don’t blame him one bit, he wants to go out a warrior and teach new warriors. Thank you John for this video, and God Bless you James!!!! Godspeed.

Hard seeing such a beast of a man in this state. He was never my cup of tea, but what a fucking UNIT. God be with ya James.
There was a U.S. citizen from Georgia that said exactly that. He said they aren’t supplying weapons only magazines with maybe 10 rounds. Please look into this people.
He's not from Georgia. He was part of the Georgia legion. The country.
The fact that Russia hasn’t immediately taken out the infrastructure of Ukraine, and that there has been so much corruption with Ukraine [Bidens&Burisma], the fact that all of the WORST people are saying we need to stand with Ukraine [George Soros, Marina Abromavic, Clinton’s, Hollywood and the rest], AND, the discovery of the Bio-Labs, ANNNDDD the literal NAZI’s. I have a very different opinion on what is taking place.
Is there a source on those nazis & bio labs?
Hey, learn some geography and stop falling for the incubator babies hoax. Georgia as in Republic of Georgia; not the State of Georgia, USA.
@@rtv8066 There's tons of sources for both if you actually do the research. Stop asking to be spoonfed. Another issue are many of these videos on TH-cam talking about this stuff are being taken down by the overlords. I'll try and post some links but as soon as I do my comments get deleted.
James Yeager has taught a lot of people with his videos. Love his honesty may God bless him with a lot of health.
I stood by as my cherished friend went through ALS to the end. I understand the decision that James has made, Gods speed and never look back.
I lost my best friend to ALS. He was 37 with a wife and 2 kids. He was larger than life and then he was gone. It was a very difficult experience to watch him go through this.
This man is an inspiration. Anyone with a warrior poets mind felt that family description moment. As Americans future appears to be full of hardship this type of humble thinking is refreshing.
James is a man that I think we can all agree he has used this shell of a body we are trapped in trapped in to the fullest in an effort to Help many of those around him grow as people and As protectors
Wasn’t ready for this, first thing in the AM and I am teary eyed. What a beautiful man, with an even more beautiful, massive, heart. God bless this man. What an incredible testament of character. 🖤
I just started getting into guns. For the last 2 weeks I’ve been grinding all James and war poet videos just got to this and oh my god never thought I could feel for someone who I didn’t even know about until after they’ve passed. Rest in peace
Love him or hate him, he's been such an influence to so many.
I pray that James and his family/friends will have the peace that only Christ can give through this difficult chapter.
All respect to JY. I hate it you are having medical/physical issues. Praying God puts a hedge of protection around you and the rest of the freedom fighters in Ukraine; a testimony to your courage. I respect your “call”. I respect your decision. Thank you for your contributions to the good guys with guns.
“Freedom fighters”… you spelled “gullible, expendable geopolitical pawns” wrong.
"Freedom fighters"?! They're fighting for a group that commited the Maidan massacre
@@funkymunky7935 I pity you if you cannot see that the men, women, & children that are fighting the Russian army are fighting for their freedom; they do not wish to live under communism. As “free”Americans, we should support their cause.
Stay funky.
@@brando3342 don’t be a dingbat. The Ukrainians are fighting for their homes and families. They do not wish to live under communistic Russian control. Hence, they are fighting for their freedom.
@@scottcoombs3201 That’s really naive and I never said people there weren’t fighting what they think they are fighting for. Things just aren’t that simple.
Damn that was heartbreaking yet incredibly inspirational. I can relate. I have terminal cancer.
I flew the F-15, I seriously considered looking into the Ukraine's need for IP's, as I also have some experience in Russian aircraft.
I have complete respect for his decision, but in my case my wife and daughters really want me with them.
Side note, my oncologist sees the type of cancer I have frequently among people who work closely with DU ammo. He seems to think uncle Sugar keeps that info to himself, otherwise there'd be liabilities in the various countries we've hosed down with the stuff.
Hmm.
Your the best of the best.
Its starting to show up in Canada also, esp around Veteran Tank Crews, Pilots and Aircraft Maintainers/Loaders.
Who could imagine that uranium would be bad for the human body?! /s
@@funkymunky7935 I know, talk about coming straight out of left field!
Actually we were told that unless it was atomized and breathed or ingested it was safe, and we were too young and dumb to realize blowing it out of a tube with explosives would atomize it...
@@Albertalorian I feel for em....
You do you Brother. I salute you and wish you all the best.
A very humbling conversion, between two incredible men.
So honored to have been able to see and hear both of your perspectives on this difficult and heartbreaking situation for James. And his humble acceptance of his disease, yet he still feels driven to give every last ounce to his energy to make a difference for Ukraine, and the world.
THANK YOU BOTH !!!!
James is a solid dude, I wish him the best and will be praying for him and his family. This video was moving and touched my heart.
Agree with everything you said John. The US needs to sit this one out. Secure our own borders before even thinking of helping another country.
He is a deserter in my eyes. So good riddance.
But no matter. No American men are protecting our border anyway.
I love this guy... RIP Yeager
God bless you James, and god bless the warrior poet family!!!
Utmost respect to James and his dedication to his calling. #Respect
Favorite foam slinger now, wasn’t expecting to find you here.
I'm gonna post this here otherwise its gonna get lost in the thousands of comments. John please stop calling it "the" Ukraine. Its just Ukraine, without "the". THE Ukraine is how Russians say it because its subordinate to Russia that way, like its not even an independent country. You can call it whatever you want, but calling it the Ukraine sounds like you hate them.

I love James Yeager all the way from Jamaica 🇯🇲 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Keep the faith✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾💯
I’m never seen James so vulnerable sounding before. Stay strong Brother. Thank You for everything you have done for the 2A community and humanity at large.
Damn, that was heart touching. What a warrior to the end... My prayers go out to him and his family....
James. You were one of the first "gun guys" that corresponded with me on some of the old forums when I first got into guns about a decade ago.
You were very helpful and openly discussed many topics with me...much respect and love sir.
Godspeed Mr. Yeager. Thank you for your service, and your contributions.
I got to meet James at Fighting Rifle and Fighting Pistol. In speaking with him and his other trainers, you really get to discover what a good dude James is. God bless you James.
This was an emotional and genuine interview. It was clear the affection that you have for each other. To James Yeager, I can only say that your courage in facing a possible terminal diagnosis and going to sacrifice for people that you don't know who are suffering in Ukraine is inspiring. There are no words for the type of man that you are. how you have lived and continue to live.
Something about this whole situation stinks to high heaven... Why are our governments suddenly so keen for us to go and fight, after the way they treated volunteers who went to fight against ISIS. Hell, I still remember what happened to the people who tried going to Afghanistan to help evacuate those left behind
This right here
I agree
Don't fall for the Ukrainian propaganda! Both governments are evil and using useful idiots to fight their wars. Stop and think before being so foolish as to go lay down your life in a foreign country based on propaganda brain washing. Dig deeper for the truth and take care of your family.
Where have you heard lets go to war an put boots on the ground? So far I have heard that from absolutely no one and I eat, sleep, breathe on politics and current events.
@@JWard-sp7wt Tucker plays clips from talking heads saying it everyday.
America needs real men like the both of you! God Bless you both. James I will be praying for your safety.
Really sorry to hear about James' health. If he ends up training civilians in Ukraine they will be extremely fortunate individuals. I hope they appreciate it.
Keep us posted John
I found Mr. James late in his time on TH-cam and I love his attitude need more men like these two this just brought me to tears both of these men are great
Wow.... James was one of the first people I followed when I started my weapons training..... I understand his heart and his build ! I'm sure his close family and friends know him enough to know.... He's doing it his way 🙏🏽! God bless you sir !!!
I was sad until he said don’t be sad. We all have a expiration date. this guy was one American Badass.
This hits hard. I met James at Shot Show this year. Such a nice guy. Props to him for volunteering especially with this health condition.
It’s a HORRIBLE decision. ESPECIALLY with his condition. Dang man, dude has a family he could spend that time with.
Tell him to save the incubator babies too.
@@brando3342 it's only his decision to make. no one can make or judge that decision for him.
@@brando3342 He's going over to Ukraine provide firearms training. Even in his degraded condition he can still do that.
My guess is that James is going to spend about 6 months in Ukraine and if he hasn't gotten killed by a Russian airstrike, then he will come back to the United States and quietly retire from public life.
He'll spend most of the rest of his year-and-a-half after returning with his family and will occasionally post social media until the good Lord decides time to call him home.
@@Mike-dm5ut It’s his decision and yes we can judge whether it’s a good or bad choice.
Shit man, this was so freakin heartbreaking... And yet, at the same time, it was uplifting and inspiring. Love both you guys, I'll pray for you James.
-God bless buddy.
This whole thing was so moving. Agree or disagree with his decision, James Yeager demonstrates true nobility of character here.
Nobility of character? Sure I guess, if you're fighting to protect the grift of the Biden Criminal Family and literal nazis. Couldn't be funnier
John, thank you so much for conducting this hard interview. 😢 RIP to a great man, James Yeager!
"fear of death only prevents life. It doesn't stop death" I don't recall where I heard or read that statement, but James Yeager absolutely drives it home.
After two years of Covid hysteria that statement should ring true to everyone.
That quote is 100% 🔥
What a deushbag. NPCs love being told what to support
@@trumpwon20204 troll.... I hope that you educate yourself and find solace in your heart that keeping ugly thoughts to yourself is the best thing to do when you disagree with another person's life choices. Live free neighbor.

@@fredrickkinkton1466 It isn’t a “world war 2, you know who” situation, but the propaganda has convinced them to act as though it is. Sad.
@@fredrickkinkton1466 The bible commands us to pray for people, regardless of whether they be friend, enemy, leader, or under our leadership; and regardless of how we view their action. Besides... I was committing to pray for his strength or character, that he be encouraged and uplifted in the face of this incredibly difficult physical affliction, and also for his safety should he go through with his plan.
I do not decide to pray for someone based on my own righteousness, or based on my perception of that persons right or wrong. Prayer for another person should be out of love, and should bring them before God, who can reach them even in their blindness should that be the case.
@@fredrickkinkton1466 I’m wondering about what happens when Russia finds out there’s a battalion of Americans shooting at them over there in Ukraine? This could easily lead to Russia declaring war on us, because we’re basically declaring war on them by allowing our citizens to get in a plane and go over there and fight. I don’t like this one bit.
You’re a true hero sir. You are gonna make a huge difference in saving many souls even if you are able to impart a small crumble of wisdom you have given us.
Watching this again in 2024. James you are missed dearly.
My doctor friend says that often times folks get misdiagnosed with ALS when there is instead an underlying toxicity in the body affecting the nervous system, due to chemical exposure.
Good point! I hope that's the case!
This comment needs to get bumped up
Possibly lead from all the range time? I know some police firearms trainers get tested regularly for lead exposure.
A lot of people don't know that. You're right.
I mean, yes, but his father died of ALS too
I'm in tears you two have been heroes in my life. This hurts almost as bad as when I found out my dad had cancer. James we love you bud! You're right. You've lived a great life! Many more years than a lot of people do. Your gift in what you've done all the training and serving and bettering the thousands and thousands people you have helped! Including myself. I love you buddy!
I started training because of James Yeager, did all my training at Tactical Response. It is because of this man that I have been able to have the mindset and walk the path I do. This is devastating news, i’m heartbroken. All i can say is thank you James for all the knowledge you have passed on.
James is a patriot. 2a hero. Freedom hero
Dang I didn’t tear up until 14:40. Prayers to you and your family. Good luck train them ALL!
I have mad respect for james yeager, I've followed him for a long long time, I hope hes looking into the Ukraine thing, I pray for him and his family.... sad times we're in
