Shipmates (I consider everyone who has ever worn the uniform of this country, any Service as a shipmate,) PLEASE seek assistance if you have ever contemplated this. I cannot place myself in your shoes but I HAVE lost friends in this manner and can only imagine how it would affect your families. The word "Devastating" or "Catastrophic" would not be strong enough.
Thanks. There a resources you can take advantage of if you think the hole is too deep. The VA has a whole bunch of people who will help. If you have a security clearance, you are safe if you ask for assistance. If you don't, you may find things way worse, permanently.
Well they heard someone was talking funny about them and decided to do something about it... now there's two dead guys Yeah the whole company needs a check urgently
The Russian soldier who shot 6 of his commanders was actually Ukrainian. His name was Yuriy Halushko, and he's from Donetsk. He was half blind. He was imprisoned for petty theft then he joined Shoigu's PMC in September 2022 to gather some money to restore his eyesight. His mother, who lived in Kharkiv, had sustained injuries during Russian shelling, and later suffered a heart attack as a result. When he got the news, he told his officers about it , and they laughed it off. He obviously didn't take it well and decided to shoot the bastards. P.S: his mother is still alive, she's still in Kharkiv, in need of medical attention. The guy asked his commanders for money to pay his mom's medical bills and they basically flipped him off.
It's almost like that entire country has a history of resistance to their imperial overlord and even when occupied extracting a near continuous blood price from the Russians in the name of freedom.
As a non american, I do appreciate that HLC doesn't pull any punches about America. It seems like a fair few channels like this tend to act like america has no flaws. So I greatly appreciate that HLC gives america the same punches as everyone else. Also that ending message was wonderfully done. Something I bet a lot of people needed to hear, and not just service members.
As an American, I have to admit...that was a solid burn from Russia. I'm mature enough to give credit where credit is due. With that being said, thank you for drawing attention to things like this, HLC. It's an important topic and it shouldn't be ignored. To all veterans out there, remember what HLC says at the end of his videos that aren't skits: don't give in to the 22 a day. You're stronger than that; you can fight it. My sincere thanks to each and every one of you for your service - even if you didn't see combat - because you still stepped up to defend this nation. That means a lot in my book. Every job matters, from the cooks all the way to the people at the front lines.
Well, it's true, that's why it does. I suspect it can be at least in part ascribed to lacking care for veterans. Mind you, nobody counts veterans who decide to check out here in Mordor, so pot kettle black...
@@Violent_Wolfeneven aside from military vets, my town has had a lot of suicides and attempted, and I have had a few family and friends commit suicide…it’s a horrible way to go…
“The longer you live, the more you have to say goodbye; I’m just tired of saying goodbye prematurely” Damn, that hit me right in the feels, too relatable
At 64, retired Army (22 years), that hits home to me in more ways than most will ever know. I pray that all you out there reading this will NEVER know this pain.
"The longer you live, the more friends you're gonna have to say goodbye to. I'm just tired of saying goodbye prematurely." Fuck that hits harder than I'd like to admit.
I've been to more funerals than weddings and baby showers. Keep yourselves safe out there. Call one another. Take account and see who nobody's heard from recently. Check in and support.
We've all lost brothers and sisters. Stay on your politicians to get more help to them. Call your buddies. Do whatever you have to to get there and be with them.
Don't give up man there are people who care about you. I lost a good friend last month. It hurts the families so much. Hell I'll talk to you if you need to talk to someone.
Hey buddy, piece of advice from one that started to get better: live for your loves ones, live because you have a lot of things you can still see, do, and experiment, and if all fail, live out of spite because whatever or whoever want you down, you can tell them to f themself just by proving them wrong. And i *will* live a long and good life just to piss them off. Hope you will do the same bud.
I've been there man. Think of the people you care about. They care about you too. Talking with someone about it, anybody at all, can help relieve the burden by a whole lot. Just reach out.
I lost a Navy buddy this weekend to suicide. He was a huge fan of yours. Thank you for bringing attention to the problem. I wish I could’ve seen his problems before he made that decision. Thank you to all the vets and know that people love you and will support you.
Lost a Marine buddy a few years back who fought in Afghanistan. It sucks hanging out with friends and then a week later finding out that was the last time you'd ever see them.
That’s what everyone says, but it’s not like we don’t reach out first. It’s when nobody reaches back that we know we are justified… 😔 We have to give our stuff away, find good homes for our dogs and pets. Get rid of our stash of stuff you don’t want people to find after we are gone… It’s always easy to claim you would’ve cared after the fact ✌️
@@SilverCyricas someone who has been there, people who aren’t there don’t see that as reaching out. Why would they? They aren’t in the unimaginable. They rationalize it as normal. Be blunt. Say “I need help” call a helpline.
@@MycaeWitchofHyphae I am blunt! You make assumptions just like them. If they won’t take me serious then why would some stupid hotline? I refuse, taking the easy way out ✌️ Thanks for helping me rid this tiny bit of hope I had left
"..the longer you live, the more friends you're gonna have to say goodbye to.." Upon hearing that, I struggled to hold back tears and not break down crying at that thought.. it's one of the few reasons I'm still around.. for a little context, I am Not a service member nor am I anything special.. I have never seen or experienced the horrors of the world like a lot of people I know have, but every single day I still struggle with the idea of "Answering the call of the void"... The biggest thing that keeps me here is the thought of what it would do to the people I love.. the thought of their reaction... I want an end to the suffering... Not to cause more... My advice to anyone who manages or cares to read this far.. Dont give in... It will be painful.. it might be the worst pain you'll ever experience.. but remember to enjoy the little things.. it's what makes it worth it... Thank you Habitual Linecrosser for all the content you make and your respect for the struggles people have... Also, that ending made me laugh so hard after such a somber moment, again.. thank you..
You don't have to to military to answer the (call of the void) great word. Very terrifyingly descriptive and not far off the truth I have posted more h here than I ever could. I know it it's horrible I watched a good 19 yr old kid I worked with and thought I helped him and he promised he said when he turned 21 he'd buy me a drink..I had been through it..1 year later he got a better job I couldn't help him 3 months later he hung himself. Yeah it sucks thanks hlc for bringing in attention to a horrible fact. He left my shields couldn't help but I tried it hurts alot. 20 year navy.
This was after I retired. Worked at a private pet store where we could say piss off if you were too stupid to get a pet. Side note the number of people I encounter that were too uncaring or stupid to sell a plastic plant was shocking.
I disagree, they’ve made it clear in more than just words that I don’t have a place in this world. I’m not sticking around because my tormentors claim they love me. It’s my fault, I thought people, family, loved me, boy was I mistaken… 😞✌️
If I wasn't married to the greatest guy in the world, I wouldn't be here either. I've got chronic pain from three different autoimmune diseases. Life is a struggle 24/7/365. I have 5 pain meds right now and they don't cover it at times. No cure. I have had to face that and it's been hard. My beloved husband notices it, tries to boister me, treats me like a queen (including helping me with my daily "body" stuff). He noticed I was having trouble even talking to him, long days of just sitting. He talked to the doctor and we came in. I ended up in tears, almost hysterical as he told the doctor about how I was really feeling (I tend to say "I'm okay" even when I'm not). I'm now on depression meds and my husband will watch me and try hard to keep me up, and helps me with the pain levels. If he wasn't here, I would already have given up.
@@charlayned Yeah I get it! You have a reason to live, thanks for reminding me I don’t… I just felt that last little bit of hope extinguish in me. Thanks 🙏
oh boy... well. I work the suicide line, mainly for non-english speakers in the USA but still, i get some of you too... and yea, reach out. I know you out there feel ashamed of calling... that you feel worse because you needing to "ask for help" instead of overcoming it on your own... You gotta remember, some shit need tools to be fixed... there is absolutely no reason why overwork yourself when a tool is what you need. I am your tool... We are not there to judge you, we are there to be USED by you so that you can find a way out. REACH OUT, we got u.
For fucks sake, why is that not already a thing? What else are drone boats good for? We can't put guns and missiles on them? Come on! Put a VLS pod on one of them. The DOD is all worried about retiring the missile cruisers because we're losing VLS capacity, so put them on drone boats. Bam.
I wanted to go with my dog, but the universe gifted me something precious right before cancer took him. I was out pulling him around in his mobilty cart and found a duck egg just laying out in the open. I took it home and put it on the incubator. Hatching a duck egg is literally the thing at the top of my bucket list. I lost my dog about 3 weeks later. I was in a rough spot grieving him and a few days later, I heard a noise come from my incubator. It was 2 to 3 days early, so it was a major shock. The whole time I was thinking it would never hatch because I was just so down on myself. Anyways, rather than moping around, it was time to be a momma duck for this little guy. It's like morphine for my wounded soul. It's crazy how the universe gives you things sometimes. It's a wild mallard by the way. I think its a boy. I named him Cthulhu.
That ending burn is a solid one. It hurts because of how accurate it is. I got vets in my family; you see enough of them struggling to keep head up, you start making some really messed up jokes because you just wanna see them laugh at something. I understand that you mean no harm by it.
As a person who deals with some pretty intrusive thoughts, I now look at every day I'm still breathing as a small victory. Another chance to spite the world. Keep fighting kids. I can say 'kids' because I have a big, bushy grey beard.
Small victories lead to big ones in life. If someone doesn't believe that, remember that Omaha Beach was taken a foot print at a time in the sand. Every day you live, see friends, help yourself or your community, that's another foot print in that sand.
There's no way to say this without sounding cliché; but you matter, and people you don't know, care. The universe inside you wouldn't exist without you, and the multiverse we all inhabit would never be the same without you.
You just showed your true value! Having a son who served and the paths we have travelled together since he returned home has made me a better man and father. So far we are winning this battle together! As Aussie's say about our veterans "Lest we forget," but I feel it applies to the living as well!
Never served, but a couple months ago I survived my attempt because I reached out for help at the 11th hour. Thank you for bringing attention to the mental health crisis in this world.
I am right there with you on that last part, HLC and I helped give honors to a couple of them. That's why I chose the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) class at Ft Silly when it was offered back in 2005. It helped me prevent some of those premature goodbyes over the years. For anyone that hasn't taken that course, I highly suggest it.
Your video the other day, and the end of this one really matters. A uk vet going through every dad of a daughter’s nightmare…thank you…this is the best channel!
@@STRAKAZulu But but but, that's not the conservative way. Drawing endless lines they will never defend while screaming "It's still not bad enough yet.) is their way.
Oooo! Little drone submarines with heat seeking missiles! Pops to the surface just long enough to lose an AIM-9 before slipping back down beneath the waves. Suddenly airborne ASW doesn't seem all that appealing.
HLC has quickly become one of my favorite channels, but that fourth wall break at the end just made you even more so. Thank you for the acknowledgement.
Navy veteran here just wanted to say, bro thank you for the end of this video. Thank you for doing something with your content that will save a life, someone somewhere veteran or civilian is going to see this and still be here the next day because of you. Thank you my brother, I know your video will save at least one life. I found your videos while I was going through chemotherapy, and they helped me through the days where I wanted to give up, going from fuck this I'm done I give up too smiling and laughing and fighting, I'm still here and cancer free so thank you. Also grandpa buff is thee shit and I fucking love the F22, also if you don't already you need to sell some Geneva checklist shirts and of course don't ever touch our boars. God bless you my dude, if I ever bump into you in real life, I'll buy a 🍺
Nice! That ending does hit home. I went through a really dark 10 years after I was discharged, and the long nap was something I wished for often; but I hung on and life is beautiful now.❤ Thanks HLC. ❤
Damn. Wow. I'm pushing 33 this year and lost my dad at 18. He chose how he went out and it was, and still is hard whenever I remember him. The sting is still there even after so long but it isn't as painful. In life I knew he had many friends, in passing, I discovered how many more he really had. 2 weeks of breaking the news to people near his age and seeing them breaking from the sad news was oddly uplifting. I learned he touched so many lives that would miss him forever. So just reach out and maybe your tears now could help stop someone and bring them away from the edge.
@@jtsharp6129 we could at least say, we enjoyed them and live with memories that we cherish. I just remember this quote from somewhere "I can't promise it(the pain) will all go away, only that it gets better."
I’ve reached out, and those that will make claims as you have after I’m gone said I was the problem. Some of us are justified when nobody reaches back, or better yet, let’s you know you’re not wanted in this world… ✌️
@@SilverCyric Damn, concern paid with contempt. I'm so sorry to hear that. I might be a stranger on the internet but please still be you and just be good to yourself. Thanks for sharing.
@@crisr.8280 I am a good person and I love my friends and family. They just don’t love me back. I’ve begged to be told what I’ve done but only met with accusations and ridicule for things I never did. Perceived slights against their character. I reach out but hear nothing for weeks, and despite putting 100% effort to maintain relations, I’m forgotten about and left out in the cold. It just doesn’t matter…I tried, I really did. I didn’t just walk away. I screamed, begged and cried for help…nothing. Apparently I’m just a problem, a burden, an exhaustion.
Thank you. Ptsd and C ptsd need to talked about more so people who dont have it could learn compassion for those suffering. Maybe one day, we all could find joy, unity, a sense of belonging and happiness. Great video as Always HLC, appreciate you and your service
HLC, THANK you bringing the "21 A Day" issue to light. In more ways than one. I personally didn't get to join the Armed Forces (bad knees, and it was 1998, so no ACTIVE wars), but i have quite a few friends who did join. I've had to say Goodbye to a few WAYYYY too prematurely. Thank you for all you do!! *cough* Dammit, who's cutting onions?!?!
That hit hard man, i just lost my only nephew last week. He was non communicative his whole life and miraculously beat the odds to make it into his early 20s at all. He had cerebral palsy and tomorrow will be the 12 or 13th funeral i have been too in the last 7 years and i am only just entering my 30s . Please everyone that reads this go hug your loved ones and make an effort to see the ones you dont normally get to see that you wish you could
Wish someone told me that, too, HLC... as a failed unaliving attempt survivor, I also wish someone had told me that the dark voices eventually get easier to mute once you learn how to do it. And it doesn't always require medication! That seems to be a common concern to everyone.... you don't always need the meds! Try learning the coping skills first because those skills are what you will need, with the help of medication or not.
Hey Irish, where did you get the coping skills? When I struggle I have to take Valium to break the thought train. And please, don’t feel compelled to answer if you don’t want to. Thanks for the advice.
100% on the money, irish. The coping skills, imo do far more than meds. Meds help... but coping and support network work far more. It's why I am still here.
@dlmyrs The important part, too, is do not rush it. Go at your own pace and remember mistakes happen and it's okay. I was in DBT for 3 years before feeling confident enough to move on, but I, too, still have a therapist that I work with.
Don't give in to the 22. WE will make it through. "Sometimes life is like a dark tunnel. You can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving, you will come to a better place."
“You matter reach out to somebody” “Sure I’ll do just that… *gets shafted by debt, loses job due to employers being unwilling to employ me, gets put on a watchlist, has to now deal with all my friends and family looking at me like I’m insane and trying to help but only end up making things worse* Yeah… never mind.” To be clear reaching out is usually a good thing, but it’s not as easy as just getting a therapist, and unfortunately our government and society make things a lot harder for people with mental health issues than it should be.
You bring up very valid points i wish more people were talking about so we can fix the issues that are crippling our mental health services and resources
@@amberwyne6937 it's global, and its not any easy fix, never will be, until the wealth trickles down.. heh. Or at the very least, people have the freedom to enjoy life without needing to struggle to "afford" to live (which is the most baffling concept to me) We may appear more civilised than animals on the outside, but we are really no better than ants in the way we operate. Instead of a queen we have governments, instead of bringing food to the nest, we pay taxes. We all have our roles in society and we all move about as if each other doesn't exist.
That ending hit me. 6 years ago today my uncle took his own life, and I wish I had known sooner that he was struggling. Thank you for bringing attention to stuff like this
That last 'joke' really hit close to home for me. My best friend who went to the army... unsubscribed from being alive, recently. Neither of us had even made it to our 40s yet ffs. Thank you for raising awareness.
"The longer you live, the more friends you'll have to say goodbye to. I for one am just tired of having to do it prematurely" This one hits hard. With or without having a military background.
HLC... That last bit kicked me in the feels pretty hard. I laughed... because it's true. I'm a guy who stared at that loaded gun on my desk a few times, and goddammit am I glad I've got some brothers and sisters that were able to keep me from reaching for it. From the bottom of this fithy civillian's heart all the way up in Canada, I want to say thanks, Ethan.
I really love this channel. Veteran suicide is an issue and some of these servicemen & women are hopefully told that asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Hell in combat you may call for artillery or air support to help you out with the situation you are in & those actions are commended so asking for help to fight your demons or whatever it is bothering you. If you can’t ask for help for whatever reason then think of the people you know & how heartbroken they will feel. That’s what saved me after my failed attempt, my wife and family need me. I am my family’s protector as you should be. It doesn’t matter male or female, you are needed. Until Valhalla
That 4th wall break might have one of the best things you have done on this channel. It’s rough out there when you feel that way and there really isn’t anyone to talk to. Most just judge you and never really listen and try to understand where you are coming from.
That ending was a message I really needed to hear. I'm 32 years old and have dealt with depression, mental issues, and suicidal thoughts through out the years. So it really feels heartwarming when someone tells me that I matter. Thank you, HLC for that message.
The ending. You got me there. And very true about the longer you live part. And I’m also tired of saying goodbye to so many good people that I’ve met along the way. Especially those who I have served with
Ironic that when I googled "purpose and belonging," trying to remember what the fundamental requisites for happiness are that I learned in therapy a link for the Marines popped up. I shoulda joined when I was young.
Really, thank you HLC for adding that last part to this video, it is so true. I think it's safe to say that most of us have lost someone very close to us at one time or another, and just like you, I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to some of my favorite people prematurely. And to anyone else reading this comment, your life matters. YOU matter. To the world, you may be just another person. But to another person, you may be their world. Please, reach out to someone if you need help. Even if it's a stranger, there's literally TONS of people in this world who care for others no matter who it is. Any life is a life worth saving!
That ending hit me like a Ginsu Missle. I have friends who suffer from suicidal thoughts, and I'm only 20. Thank you for making light of this HLC and saying something. It means a lot when people see and acknowledge your struggles and offer support.
Fuck man, that hit a little close to home... As an old punk rocker in my 40s, pretty much all the friends i had, man even some half my age... their just isnt anyone left... It's super depressing to be the, uh, last man standing as it were. I miss my homies yall... Don't do that shit to your friends, they family too...
Yeah, such great family that those you claim to love had no reason to continue on. Maybe if they had a friend, they’d still be here, but tell me again how great a friend you say you were? We don’t just end it all, we try and nobody pays attention. They say you’re the problem and you just need to smile more. It’s just that easy right? RIGHT??!? Easy to claim you would’ve done more after they’re gone! I believed people like you and guess what? It never got better, only worse! So much worse than I could have ever imagined. What gives you the right to demand we stay on this Earth? What have you done to guarantee this person life will get better. What right do you have to demand a person endure torture?

GDI, that fourth wall break hit me like a freight train. I've lost far too many than any person should have too over the decades, to that. I just sat for a long time and let out a lot of emotions. Thanks for bringing attention to that for those we lost and for those that are left behind with the memories.
Dammit Linecrosser, you made me tear up a little at the end there. Thank you for being awesome and bringing self-harm awareness into the light. As a 24 year old man, I've also had some messed up thoughts about myself. I lost a good friend in high school due to something like this. I almost followed in his footsteps. But, I did finally seek help, found some amazing friends, and am doing much better every day. If anyone is reading this and you feel these thoughts, talk to somebody. Please. Somebody out there loves you. Hell, talk to me. I'll gladly drop what I'm doing and be there for you. You are loved and appreciated, I promise you that.
You know, I love your channel. I may not agree with all of your positions, but that fourth wall break was great. As someone who’s dealt with severe depression it’s just nice to see people care
"you matter. reach out to somebody" i agree. im always helping out my friends whenever theyre feeling down. i always tell me friends that im always available to talk whenever they need it
That 4th wallbeeak really hit me. All of the sudden all the people I have lost to mental illness crossed my mind. I'm sure they crossed your minds too.
love you very much man. keep the dark humor rolling, we're used to it. I agree though, had to say goodbye to far too many brothers and sisters over the years. this is a pretty hard time for me as well. I was injured in Iraq 20 years ago in early May. sadly, I'm the only one left from my truck now. suicide has taken far too many. I miss those guys so fucking much. again, love you man, keep this stuff rolling
Thanks, HL, for being honest about young, and not so young, people reaching out when they need someone in their corner. I appreciate it cuz I've been there myself. Somehow I managed to stumble through to the better part of my life even though I didn't feel I had anyone to talk to. [Fifth wall break] HL is right: life gets better, friends get better, and you'll get better. Don't give give up on yourself until you give the right people a chance to help.

My baby brother took his own life last Saturday, I was not expecting that hit at the end but the focus you bring on these people who leave us with a hole inside makes me happy. I am glad you are able to try and talk about these touchy subjects and hopefully make someone aware they need to talk to their friends or family instead of doing that. I wish I had finally been able to get our D&D group going again so that I would have been able to see my younger brother every other weekend. I know that at least would have had a chance to delay his decision to leave us if not stop it.

We had so much fun tormenting each other, he was always there when I needed company growing up, and I was there for him when he needed it. I just wish we'd been able to make more memories instead of his choice to leave prematurely... I apologize if this post bothers someone but I needed to try and let you know that your videos help some of us at least with working on moving on and you are greatly appreciated my good sir.
Commendable 4th wall break. You never know. Someone watching that most likely needed to hear it. Good job.
Eh. Its disappointing it even needs to be said in the first place. Once apon a time people just knew It was to draw attention to the subject.
As someone who has gone through it sucks more than you can possibly imagine. And others would never know until you dead. Get help no shame.
Shipmates (I consider everyone who has ever worn the uniform of this country, any Service as a shipmate,) PLEASE seek assistance if you have ever contemplated this. I cannot place myself in your shoes but I HAVE lost friends in this manner and can only imagine how it would affect your families. The word "Devastating" or "Catastrophic" would not be strong enough.

The Russian soldier who shot 6 of his commanders was actually Ukrainian. His name was Yuriy Halushko, and he's from Donetsk. He was half blind. He was imprisoned for petty theft then he joined Shoigu's PMC in September 2022 to gather some money to restore his eyesight. His mother, who lived in Kharkiv, had sustained injuries during Russian shelling, and later suffered a heart attack as a result. When he got the news, he told his officers about it , and they laughed it off. He obviously didn't take it well and decided to shoot the bastards.
P.S: his mother is still alive, she's still in Kharkiv, in need of medical attention. The guy asked his commanders for money to pay his mom's medical bills and they basically flipped him off.
It's almost like that entire country has a history of resistance to their imperial overlord and even when occupied extracting a near continuous blood price from the Russians in the name of freedom.

As a non american, I do appreciate that HLC doesn't pull any punches about America. It seems like a fair few channels like this tend to act like america has no flaws. So I greatly appreciate that HLC gives america the same punches as everyone else.
Also that ending message was wonderfully done. Something I bet a lot of people needed to hear, and not just service members.
As an American, I have to admit...that was a solid burn from Russia. I'm mature enough to give credit where credit is due. With that being said, thank you for drawing attention to things like this, HLC. It's an important topic and it shouldn't be ignored.
To all veterans out there, remember what HLC says at the end of his videos that aren't skits: don't give in to the 22 a day. You're stronger than that; you can fight it. My sincere thanks to each and every one of you for your service - even if you didn't see combat - because you still stepped up to defend this nation. That means a lot in my book. Every job matters, from the cooks all the way to the people at the front lines.
Great point. There are 10 support personnel for every rifle in the field. Those lives matter too.

Man, Russia's line about Americans "self-checkouts" hits hard. Great video HLC.
Well, it's true, that's why it does. I suspect it can be at least in part ascribed to lacking care for veterans.
Mind you, nobody counts veterans who decide to check out here in Mordor, so pot kettle black...
@@BoraHorzaGobuchul I have a grudge against the military because of that for personal reasons.
@@Violent_Wolfeneven aside from military vets, my town has had a lot of suicides and attempted, and I have had a few family and friends commit suicide…it’s a horrible way to go…
Keep in mind that we have zero statistics on suicides in Russia either of veterans or civilians because they avoid publishing such things.

Don't give up man there are people who care about you. I lost a good friend last month. It hurts the families so much. Hell I'll talk to you if you need to talk to someone.
Hey buddy, piece of advice from one that started to get better: live for your loves ones, live because you have a lot of things you can still see, do, and experiment, and if all fail, live out of spite because whatever or whoever want you down, you can tell them to f themself just by proving them wrong.
And i *will* live a long and good life just to piss them off.
Hope you will do the same bud.

Physical activity helps! If you have a library card or can get one Libby is great for listening to books while you walk
I've been there man. Think of the people you care about. They care about you too. Talking with someone about it, anybody at all, can help relieve the burden by a whole lot. Just reach out.
I lost a Navy buddy this weekend to suicide. He was a huge fan of yours. Thank you for bringing attention to the problem. I wish I could’ve seen his problems before he made that decision. Thank you to all the vets and know that people love you and will support you.
Lost a Marine buddy a few years back who fought in Afghanistan. It sucks hanging out with friends and then a week later finding out that was the last time you'd ever see them.
My condolences. There are no words.
That’s what everyone says, but it’s not like we don’t reach out first. It’s when nobody reaches back that we know we are justified… 😔 We have to give our stuff away, find good homes for our dogs and pets.

"..the longer you live, the more friends you're gonna have to say goodbye to.."
Upon hearing that, I struggled to hold back tears and not break down crying at that thought.. it's one of the few reasons I'm still around.. for a little context, I am Not a service member nor am I anything special.. I have never seen or experienced the horrors of the world like a lot of people I know have, but every single day I still struggle with the idea of "Answering the call of the void"... The biggest thing that keeps me here is the thought of what it would do to the people I love.. the thought of their reaction... I want an end to the suffering... Not to cause more... My advice to anyone who manages or cares to read this far.. Dont give in... It will be painful.. it might be the worst pain you'll ever experience.. but remember to enjoy the little things.. it's what makes it worth it...
Thank you Habitual Linecrosser for all the content you make and your respect for the struggles people have... Also, that ending made me laugh so hard after such a somber moment, again.. thank you..
You don't have to to military to answer the (call of the void) great word. Very terrifyingly descriptive and not far off the truth
I have posted more h here than I ever could. I know it it's horrible I watched a good 19 yr old kid I worked with and thought I helped him and he promised he said when he turned 21 he'd buy me a drink..I had been through it..1 year later he got a better job I couldn't help him 3 months later he hung himself. Yeah it sucks thanks hlc for bringing in attention to a horrible fact. He left my shields couldn't help but I tried it hurts alot. 20 year navy.
This was after I retired. Worked at a private pet store where we could say piss off if you were too stupid to get a pet. Side note the number of people I encounter that were too uncaring or stupid to sell a plastic plant was shocking.
I disagree, they’ve made it clear in more than just words that I don’t have a place in this world. I’m not sticking around because my tormentors claim they love me. It’s my fault, I thought people, family, loved me, boy was I mistaken… 😞✌️
If I wasn't married to the greatest guy in the world, I wouldn't be here either. I've got chronic pain from three different autoimmune diseases. Life is a struggle 24/7/365. I have 5 pain meds right now and they don't cover it at times. No cure. I have had to face that and it's been hard. My beloved husband notices it, tries to boister me, treats me like a queen (including helping me with my daily "body" stuff). He noticed I was having trouble even talking to him, long days of just sitting. He talked to the doctor and we came in. I ended up in tears, almost hysterical as he told the doctor about how I was really feeling (I tend to say "I'm okay" even when I'm not). I'm now on depression meds and my husband will watch me and try hard to keep me up, and helps me with the pain levels. If he wasn't here, I would already have given up.
@@charlayned Yeah I get it! You have a reason to live, thanks for reminding me I don’t… I just felt that last little bit of hope extinguish in me. Thanks 🙏
"Tired of saying goodbye prematurely"
Yeah. Me too man. Ive seen too many friends go far too early.
oh boy... well. I work the suicide line, mainly for non-english speakers in the USA but still, i get some of you too... and yea, reach out. I know you out there feel ashamed of calling... that you feel worse because you needing to "ask for help" instead of overcoming it on your own... You gotta remember, some shit need tools to be fixed... there is absolutely no reason why overwork yourself when a tool is what you need. I am your tool... We are not there to judge you, we are there to be USED by you so that you can find a way out. REACH OUT, we got u.

“Ray Ray” employee here. Dibs on missile-carrying drone boats! FN awesome idea 🇺🇦🇺🇦
Rayray we love you.
Quick question as you probably know best.
How does rayray compare to e.g. hensoldt?
Are they on par?
For fucks sake, why is that not already a thing?
What else are drone boats good for? We can't put guns and missiles on them? Come on!
Put a VLS pod on one of them. The DOD is all worried about retiring the missile cruisers because we're losing VLS capacity, so put them on drone boats. Bam.
Maybe a collaboration with Anduril?
Let me guess, they'll first be tested as a TNT throwing fishing boat for rednecks?
Grummy bear got me rolling. Imma share that with some coworkers.
"The longer you live, the more friends you're going to have to 'goodbye' to."
Damn. That one hurt.
I wanted to go with my dog, but the universe gifted me something precious right before cancer took him. I was out pulling him around in his mobilty cart and found a duck egg just laying out in the open. I took it home and put it on the incubator. Hatching a duck egg is literally the thing at the top of my bucket list. I lost my dog about 3 weeks later. I was in a rough spot grieving him and a few days later, I heard a noise come from my incubator. It was 2 to 3 days early, so it was a major shock. The whole time I was thinking it would never hatch because I was just so down on myself.
Anyways, rather than moping around, it was time to be a momma duck for this little guy. It's like morphine for my wounded soul. It's crazy how the universe gives you things sometimes. It's a wild mallard by the way. I think its a boy. I named him Cthulhu.
That ending burn is a solid one. It hurts because of how accurate it is.
I got vets in my family; you see enough of them struggling to keep head up, you start making some really messed up jokes because you just wanna see them laugh at something. I understand that you mean no harm by it.
As a person who deals with some pretty intrusive thoughts, I now look at every day I'm still breathing as a small victory. Another chance to spite the world. Keep fighting kids. I can say 'kids' because I have a big, bushy grey beard.
Nice beard!
Thanks grey bush
Small victories lead to big ones in life. If someone doesn't believe that, remember that Omaha Beach was taken a foot print at a time in the sand. Every day you live, see friends, help yourself or your community, that's another foot print in that sand.
There's no way to say this without sounding cliché; but you matter, and people you don't know, care. The universe inside you wouldn't exist without you, and the multiverse we all inhabit would never be the same without you.

I am right there with you on that last part, HLC and I helped give honors to a couple of them. That's why I chose the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) class at Ft Silly when it was offered back in 2005. It helped me prevent some of those premature goodbyes over the years. For anyone that hasn't taken that course, I highly suggest it.

Damn. Wow. I'm pushing 33 this year and lost my dad at 18.
He chose how he went out and it was, and still is hard whenever I remember him. The sting is still there even after so long but it isn't as painful.
In life I knew he had many friends, in passing, I discovered how many more he really had. 2 weeks of breaking the news to people near his age and seeing them breaking from the sad news was oddly uplifting. I learned he touched so many lives that would miss him forever.
So just reach out and maybe your tears now could help stop someone and bring them away from the edge.

And it doesn't always require medication! That seems to be a common concern to everyone.... you don't always need the meds! Try learning the coping skills first because those skills are what you will need, with the help of medication or not.

From the bottom of this fithy civillian's heart all the way up in Canada, I want to say thanks, Ethan.
That last 1 was extremely impactful, thanks for sharing.
I really love this channel. Veteran suicide is an issue and some of these servicemen & women are hopefully told that asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Hell in combat you may call for artillery or air support to help you out with the situation you are in & those actions are commended so asking for help to fight your demons or whatever it is bothering you. If you can’t ask for help for whatever reason then think of the people you know & how heartbroken they will feel. That’s what saved me after my failed attempt, my wife and family need me. I am my family’s protector as you should be. It doesn’t matter male or female, you are needed.
Until Valhalla
That 4th wall break might have one of the best things you have done on this channel. It’s rough out there when you feel that way and there really isn’t anyone to talk to. Most just judge you and never really listen and try to understand where you are coming from.
That ending was a message I really needed to hear. I'm 32 years old and have dealt with depression, mental issues, and suicidal thoughts through out the years. So it really feels heartwarming when someone tells me that I matter. Thank you, HLC for that message.
The ending. You got me there. And very true about the longer you live part. And I’m also tired of saying goodbye to so many good people that I’ve met along the way. Especially those who I have served with
I live with depression but I am lucky to have a very good support network. I binge watch your videos when I need a laugh.

Really, thank you HLC for adding that last part to this video, it is so true. I think it's safe to say that most of us have lost someone very close to us at one time or another, and just like you, I'm getting tired of saying goodbye to some of my favorite people prematurely.
And to anyone else reading this comment, your life matters. YOU matter. To the world, you may be just another person. But to another person, you may be their world. Please, reach out to someone if you need help. Even if it's a stranger, there's literally TONS of people in this world who care for others no matter who it is. Any life is a life worth saving!

@@PeterA650 well, I wouldn’t say nothing, but more in a disgustingly wrong direction.
When I heard about MAID, and who would qualify for it, yikes!
Your vids are a hump day blessing. Have an awesome day HLC!
Ouch. Love you bro, thank you for bringing like to a dark subject people are scared of talking about. Keep up the good work.
Dammit Linecrosser, you made me tear up a little at the end there. Thank you for being awesome and bringing self-harm awareness into the light. As a 24 year old man, I've also had some messed up thoughts about myself. I lost a good friend in high school due to something like this. I almost followed in his footsteps. But, I did finally seek help, found some amazing friends, and am doing much better every day. If anyone is reading this and you feel these thoughts, talk to somebody. Please. Somebody out there loves you. Hell, talk to me. I'll gladly drop what I'm doing and be there for you. You are loved and appreciated, I promise you that.
I'm a vet that has lost some Marines due to suicide. That last part made me text some of my guys to make sure they're good.
You mention nukes 3 more times this year, I get a free coffee. This is gold!
He don’t want to relapse lol
You know, I love your channel. I may not agree with all of your positions, but that fourth wall break was great. As someone who’s dealt with severe depression it’s just nice to see people care
Thank you for taking the opportunity to bring at least a little light to an issue that a lot of people just ignore. You sir have my respect.
HLC, you have no idea how much I needed to hear that last part. Thanks brother
4:08 this!
This is why I fuckin love you man!
Did you just call Northrop Grumman a Grummy Bear XD
Note that ending was quite nice thanks HLC needed to hear that today
"you matter. reach out to somebody" i agree. im always helping out my friends whenever theyre feeling down. i always tell me friends that im always available to talk whenever they need it
That 4th wallbeeak really hit me. All of the sudden all the people I have lost to mental illness crossed my mind. I'm sure they crossed your minds too.
HLC is cookin so well, he's making Chef Ramsay quite nervous.
✌️😎
😎😎
Yeah, finals can wait once again, HLC posted!
Good luck.
@@zacharyfreelove6101 Thank you!
Finals are momentary. Laughter is forever.
Godspeed on your finals.
Good to see that you care about the people you lose in that way 💯 Respect to you, Sir
Hoo-Rah! Fantastic comedy plus encouragement to not self delete. Well played sir. Well played indeed.

Thank you for bringing up the fact that we lose over 22 veterans a day. Your compassion brought tears to this old USAF (79-83) veteran.
love you very much man. keep the dark humor rolling, we're used to it. I agree though, had to say goodbye to far too many brothers and sisters over the years. this is a pretty hard time for me as well. I was injured in Iraq 20 years ago in early May. sadly, I'm the only one left from my truck now. suicide has taken far too many. I miss those guys so fucking much. again, love you man, keep this stuff rolling
Say hello to some of the vets around you. I hope you all can support one another.
Wow, thanks for the message at the end. I really hope it can help some people.
Curious to see what you do with the “To Russia with Love case. Sike! She’s KGB.”
I am one of those veterans who survived trying to unalive themselves. I wish I had heard this prior to my first attempt.
Thanks, HL, for being honest about young, and not so young, people reaching out when they need someone in their corner. I appreciate it cuz I've been there myself. Somehow I managed to stumble through to the better part of my life even though I didn't feel I had anyone to talk to. [Fifth wall break] HL is right: life gets better, friends get better, and you'll get better. Don't give give up on yourself until you give the right people a chance to help.
As someone who was strongly considering suicide at the tail end of 2022 it’s never too late to get help, I’m still here and you can be too.

I love it when Australia and somenother neighboring country starts bickering out of nowhere 😂
Australia and China aren't neighbors .
🤷
Australia is separated by Indonesia, Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea .
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 not exactly what I meant, but that's funnier
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 Hey, given china claims almost all of the south china sea as their backyard, that DOES make them and Aus neighbours. Or at least living on the same street as one another in a cul de sac.
@@Destroyer_V0
PRC only make claim to the entire SCS ...but they never enforce it .
So do the ROC 🇹🇼 with it's 11 Dash Line claim .
Australia got exposed and debunked in it's claim pertaining to "enforcing UN sanction" against the DPRK .
ROK, Japan and U$A are Next Door Neighbors to DPRK ...🤷
My baby brother took his own life last Saturday, I was not expecting that hit at the end but the focus you bring on these people who leave us with a hole inside makes me happy. I am glad you are able to try and talk about these touchy subjects and hopefully make someone aware they need to talk to their friends or family instead of doing that. I wish I had finally been able to get our D&D group going again so that I would have been able to see my younger brother every other weekend. I know that at least would have had a chance to delay his decision to leave us if not stop it. He has been one of my closest friends since the day he was born, I often amaze people by telling them I remember our parents leaving my older brothers and I are our Grandparents house to babysit the day he was born. We had so much fun tormenting each other, he was always there when I needed company growing up, and I was there for him when he needed it. I just wish we'd been able to make more memories instead of his choice to leave prematurely...
I apologize if this post bothers someone but I needed to try and let you know that your videos help some of us at least with working on moving on and you are greatly appreciated my good sir.
that ending hit home and just inspired me to call a doc. Thanks HLC for the reality check
After the comment from Russia you should have included France at the end saying "le gasp"😂
Man this is the fastest I’ve been to a video yet
4:03 Respect for that 4th Wall break
