- We asked Craig what impact the original video had on him and he shared the following message:
Taking part in this video was an incredible experience. It helped me open up about my struggles and it has allowed others to open up to me. I have received countless messages of support from people all over the world, and I've been able to give support to those who reached out to me.
On top of this the generosity of the LADbible audience just blew me away. Over £10,000 was raised, all of it going toward the setting up of my survival school. I can't thank you enough for that.
Lastly, I want to thank the crew for being kind and friendly, on and off camera. It was a pleasure to take part in this series.

Your amazing one of a kind. Stand and be strong a hero at heart Dear. Wish you the very best. Happy Trails Smile Always. Have a amazing day. 💞💚💞 Bless You Dear 💙💛
He has fought and killed people who I support and love but at the end, Craig has my respect and support 🙏.
I wish him nothing but only the best in this life.
Life is hard that's why we should support each other.
I would just like to say him is Thank you sir for your service and to hang in there.
Craig I don’t use social media, so I’ll ask my wife to reach out. I’m about to get out of the military, and live in Washington state USA. I would love to take you fishing or hiking in the Olympic national park or at my family’s place in Montana. I think you’d enjoy my corner of America. Hope you are doing well. Check your DMs on instagram this evening. Tyler
I'm a military veteran. Two tours in Iraq.(2006, 2008) Kirkuk and Tallil. Served a total of 20 years/retired in 2012. Taking a human life is not something that should EVER come natural. This is why the military tries hard during initial training to reprogram you. Even then, you will have people freeze in combat at the moment of truth. The military dehumanizes the enemy in order to make it easier to kill when the time comes. You pretty much have to be a psychopath/sociopath for this type of thing not to affect you to some extent. There is no glory in killing. You do it to accomplish your mission and because you must in order to ensure the survival of yourself and your fellow soldiers. In war, killing is gov't sanctioned murder. If you are going to enlist/join the military keep this in mind before you sign your life away on that dotted line. The military life style is not for everyone. No shame in that.😉 Stay frosty out there!
The dehumanising begins when they try to kill yo or your mates... zero love for the enemy
one of the best comment I’ve seen on the internet
Thx for sharing.
When you read history of war you will find that the most successful warriors were the most cruel and merciless.
In most armies, all over the world in all centuries you will find cases of soldiers trying hard no to kill their enemies even in hand to hand combat.
"In war, killing is gov't sanctioned murder." hard truth,
This rips me to bits. Best of luck for the future Craig. You’re a beacon of hope for those who’ve been down or going through this path.
I even saw ur comment when I started the video, I said nah I got this. Well, videos over. Turns out I don't got this
@@andrewoverhere8525 make fucking sense mate ffs
How are you still alive
Fair play to Craig telling his us all about his struggles with PTSD. It takes more balls to do that than people may realise and is a big part of winning the battle. My grandfather survived both world wars from the Somme through to North Africa and Italy. He saw & experienced more harrowing things than most of us could barely imagine. Like many others before and after him, he struggled all his life with the then little understood PTSD. It took him many years to even consider talking about it.
My dad said he vividly remembered that on several occasions in the middle of the night just after WWII my grandad would be at the end of the bed, stood to attention, saluting & sobbing while shouting out a list of names my dad had never known. Once my dad had grown up and joined the army in the late 50's, grandad slowly began to share his tale of mental solitude, constant violent nightmares and more specifically survivor guilt. It was then that my dad then found out that my grandfather had lost every single member of his small troop when ordered to advance on the enemy. They had been drawn into a field of landmines and were all wiped out except my grandad. These were names he would call out during one of his sobbing, walking dreams. It was only after opening up to my dad did he really start to live his life with a bit more contentment. I would like to think that when he died in his 90's that he had found some sort of peace & forgiveness within himself.
I truly hope you find your own peace of mind Craig. You owe it to yourself to survive the hardest battle and live a great life.
❤ my heart has melted ❤ such an amazing incredible story of your Grandad who I'm thankful for his service . Thanks for sharing this .
My sympathies Craig. I have complex PTSD as well, bad upbringing, and so few people understand how severe it is and what that means. If I didn't have a good therapist who knew what started me down this and that its a known issue that she knows how to address I would have lost everything to it. I'm so glad you have your wife and that sweet little dog. Hang in there mate.
God bless you ❤
@Levia🖤 Can lad bible remove these comments, this is a serious topic and you spam the channel. You should be ashamed of yourself.
It's no joke bro, I'm also living proof... I tried my back on help, dong my own thing and I've never been sharper... binned all my meds. I'll rather live unmedcated than feel punch drunk all the time
Same here. Therapy is so important. I'm a survivor of child sex abuse. And physical abuse. As well as other things. Sometimes it still gets rough. But I'm far better than í used to be.
can you share how something like that is treated?
So hard to see such a beautiful man to suffer.
Stay strong mate, never never never give up
well said, I think he'd appreciate this sentiment and the simple way you've said it.
I have such admiration for this man . He did a Job , that many people could never even imagine taking on .
His dedication to his duty , his utter professionalism, and his loyalty to his fellow soldiers is unquestionable.
He's neither gung - ho ,or bragging .And his description of feeling guilt over the motorcyclist , is a sentiment I'm sure many soldiers will echo .
He's a big lad , who , underneath the guise of a soldier is a deep thinking human being , trying his best to navigate the world again , after many extreme experiences of military service .
I'm glad his wife stood by him , & gave him the support he desperately needs . He might appear a strapping ex soldier , but at his core , he has a heart which is bigger than many, and an insight into the reality of war .
I hope he finds a peace in the future he's struggled to find before .
@Levia🖤 Now is not the time, fella.
This man has the physique, the psychology and the manners of a seasoned warrior. Respect.
You mean a man with complex PTSD for the remaining of his life because he murdered people in their own invaded country on behalf of the American government? Only because his own government is an American vassal.
There is another video of him and his wife. Def got the psychology.
Well said. Something one could aspire to be
I can’t say this enough, but as a social worker, I know first hand the importance of hearing the honesty and openness of someone else’s experience with trauma, ptsd and depression when trying to deal with your own mental difficulties. Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for all those who you have helped and will help. Love.
must be nice seeing something not so sheltred, being a social worker. as my experience in the care and prison system from age 14 is they are very sheltred and have no clue of the real life. just if the text book says it then thats it 💯 and majority of social workers today are scu@@@@ but thats just a fact . failure after failuire and its only getting worse, as most the dogs just turn up for a paycheck, when you seen it 1st hand you reaslise. we are doomed from the start in the system and thats down to pen pushers at a desk there whole lives with no clue, as long as cant see the mess from there window they good🤷♀️🤷♀️ 💯🙏
@@tamzy4825 I am so sorry that your experience in the care and prison system has been so damaging to you and that you were not given the support you 100% deserved.
Not all of us are scumbags, I assure you, but as there are in most systems, there are those among us who don’t represent who we are and tend to forget that they are there to be the voice and support those who need their voice to be heard.
I wish you nothing but the best and I apologise, in solidarity, for the lack of guidance, support, care and love that you were not shown by social work.
@@jayw6177 🙏that means alot sir..thank you.. im now 36 was addicted to crack and heroin from age 13 so rocky roads i had im now clean of drugs.. strugling with alchol it 1 thing after another like i need to have something its hard to explain but since not seeing my gp in 5 plus yrs im getting booked in as now know the drink is affecting me big time.. RESPECT
@@jayw6177 and jamie that wasnt aimed at you, just ive sadly in my yrs in care homes ss ect ect never met a decent sole so kept running. its no exuse as it was me that destroyed my life, take care
@@tamzy4825 no apologies needed. I know that frustration, sadness and anxieties need to be directed somewhere, and I am more than happy to be at the end of that path.
Book in with your GP, go to the appointment and when there, also ask them about a lot of supportive groups that you can join in the community, including 1-1 peer support. These programmes are free and can offer support that isn’t social worky ☺️
Good luck, you’ve got this and remember that two steps forward and one step back, is still one step in the right direction x
The original was such an important interview. Craig was incredibly brave serving in the capacity he did, and incredibly brave to speak so honestly about his experiences. We should all aim to become half the man he is.
Thank you for the uncut version.
Most people don't realize what we went thru as soldiers, it's been many years since i got out and to this day i still find myself waking up and feeling anxious and almost desperate to get up, i watch these videos and honestly it helps me get thru sometimes, just knowing it's not just me there are others out there feeling my pain, the things i've seen aren't natural, i found GOD and every day is a new day, thanks for your honesty and courage to talk about it, good luck and hold on life will get back on track for you
You're definitely not alone brother. Stay frosty out there. 👍
When he talks about his dog it just bloody ripped me shreds. So beautiful, so sad, so complex. Just the little things... Betsy the terrier saved his life, just through unconditional love. Oh my my my. What a heart wrenching story, what a beautiful man. God bless him. We love you Craig.
If anybody hasn’t read or listened to his book “The longest Kill” it’s a must read. Highly recommend. Craig if you read this then thank you for everything you’ve done from defending our amazing country to doing these videos, letting us have a glimpse into your career.
@Ian Sacks anybody who puts on a uniform and puts their life at risk for those like you and me to sleep comfortably at night. That’s how he defends the uk.
😂🤣 if only people knew !! He’s stolen other peoples stories and claimed them as his own ! His book is full of lies like how he banged out his superior and never received a court martial I’ve served alongside lads who served directly with him and he’s well known amongst his own as a bullshitter don’t believe me read the Amazon reviews for his book 99% of them are his oppos calling him out on his lies the man lives in cuckoo land !! Obviously I’m not discrediting anything he has genuinely accomplished throughout his career however it’s hard to decipher what’s lies what’s embellished and what’s true it’s a shame really because the TRUTH is enough credit there’s no need to lie and take other peoples stories it’s completely unnecessary.
@Ian Sacksclearly your as thick as a brick wall the taliban are only in power now because they ram the official government out. So your saying the same people who served under osama bin laden are the good guys ?
@@heresjohnny1219 In the words of an Australian criminal "never let truth get in the way of a good yarn"
@Ian Sacks at the time no they were not the official government
Men like him are my heroes...His honesty, his openness and willingness to be truthful won't cure his PTSD, but damn, it's so emotionally helpful...God bless his dog and his wife. :-(
Basically you don't want to be sniper number two when sniper number one goes number two
When I saw the notification with Craig’s face.. man… I smiled. He’s just the best man! I could listen to him speak all day. I’m glad he is thriving and surviving. I wonder how Betsey is doing??
Only a real man can shed tear unabashedly. Craig is brave man.
This is the type of guy you simply HAVE to wish all the best for whatever!
He is such a lovely person, A giant with a gentle heart.
I hope he is much, much better now.
@Ian Sacks Why don't you go and tell him what you think big man?
@Ian Sacks Exactly what I thought, big man loves spouting nonsense online but is too scared to do it in real life.
… who KILLED for a living.
@@mfranck1 He was a soldier. Soldiers kill or get killed. Get real lady.
@@mfranck1 soldiers follow orders, good or bad, innocent or not. If they have to kill, they kill.
Get real for a second, peace will never happen, too many conflicts of interest, too much greed, too much power and too many religious beliefs. So pull your head out of your hippy wonderland and wake the fuck up. Humans have killed for years, and will continue to kill for the next thousands of years
I cried listening to him , he is brave to tell his story and i wish him best luck in his life
I could listen to this guy for hours easily, talking about the most horrendous OR benign stuff, coz his voice is soooo soothing! So calm and warm, and GENUINE! Thank you for opening up, Craig. I sincerely wish you the best future possible, and props to your wife for not giving up on someone "so broken", instead choosing to stay and fight CPTSD.....As hard as it is on the one afflicted with CPTSD (I'm one of them), it's almost just as hard for the people closest to you.
Of all the stories he told us, the one with his little dog really got me.
When he mentioned his dog, I'm picturing the big tattooed sniper has a german shepherd or a rottweiler. Nope, a Yorkie.
What an honest man. Wish the world had more people as good as this man. Best wishes to you. My dog saved my life too.
What he's given physically and mentally is astonishing! The respect these people deserve is unmeasurable! In awe. 👍
I was in tears by the end of this interview.
Thank you. This was a beautiful, profound, and moving episode. I wish him the best of luck with his survival school and future endeavors.
Talking about the PTSD part; my partner has PTSD due to a previously abusive relationship she was in, eventhough she's gone through extensive therapy it comes out every so often even over a year later. As a partner with someone who has this illness it was very hard, can be very frustrating because you don't understand what's going through that persons head and why they act like they do in certain situations. This explained it in a very simple way and I have to thank him for that. Creds to you mate!
I just wanna say, man.. Craig´s story deserves a movie. being in the military for such a long time and listening to them teaching you how to dehumanize and eliminate a ´´target´´ and still have some common sense and feelings to it just shows the amount of emotional intelligence this man posseses. The story about how the small yorkshire terrier saved his life just broke me to bits.. Dogs are more then just man´s best friends and they understand much more about us and our life then we will ever know. Craig, if you ever read this i wanna say you moved me,your story moved me and i wish you all the best from this moment on. I wish you all the happiness and positive energy of this world. Cuz damn.. if you had the balls of steel to do all those things you did and still survived all of it, you´ll fuck up the PTSD in some time, just give it time and believe in yourself. I hope to meet you and shake your hand one day! Cheers!
This man is admirable. I wish you all the best, Craig.
WE LOVE YOU CRAIG! Mental illnesses are horrific (although I’ve never experienced the level you’ve had to survive). The fact that you are surviving them everyday shows your strength and character. We all love and support you and thank you for sharing your vulnerability. ❤️ from Canada
Watching this and watching his newer content u can see a huge difference on how much this has truly helped him and I’m thankful that he was able to cope with his struggles a lot better now and I seriously love this guy bc of it
i really admire this guy and it sucks to hear about his ptsd and stuff he has to go through, hope the rest of your life gets better Craig
Thank you so much for releasing this extra footage
What an incredible human being! A true soldier, and inspiration to so many I'm sure. Pleasure to watch.
What an incredible man. So honest about everything. Glad for his wife and dog❤️
Thank u for your story Craig, glad your still here with us.
There are no words to describe how I was touched listening to his life as a soldier.I am a 66 year old proud american that never served but has always placed the military on a pedestal. This man belongs on top of mount everest but its just not tall enough!Thank you for telling your story and yes I broke down with you when you talked about your wife and especially your dog.
Hands down, best interview I've ever watched. I watched the original one when it first came outand I was so drawn in, this is like I never even watched it.
Amazing of him to open up the way he did, because that's not easy by any means and to show vulnerability, amazing.
Thank you Craig for your fight, your courage, your voice.
I love Craig. When I’m going through dark times I listen to his story on this channel. It helps me get through the toughest of times. It’s refreshing to hear someone that’s been through so much and he’s here to tell the tale.
Powerful stuff! Total respect for this guy.
This is the fifth time I've watched this interview, and I feel it in my stomach every time. What a great guy Craig seems to be.
Your one hell of a human being Craig there's nothing else to say other than thank you for your service, I have massive respect for you sir all the best
What an absolute hero, wish i could meet him and thank him for everything hes done, hes a truly amazing bloke
It’s heartbreaking hearing that and I wish I could do something to help. All I can do is say thank you for your service and thank you for keeping us safe and upholding our values.
Thanks Craig for the sacrifices you’ve made for all of us and keeping your mates alive ,I hope the rest of your life you can find the peace and happiness you deserve
What a complete gentleman. Thank you for your story and everything you did for us
You’re an incredible person!! Thank you for service 👏🏻
A true legend and a real man. Not afraid to show emotion and share his incredible story. It's hard to even imagine some of the things this man has seen and experienced. Complete and total respect for him and all man and women that have been throw the horrors of war and live action combat.
Regardless of the content, Craig has an incredible voice and intonation to my ears, better than some voice actors and podcasters out there, let alone telling a story in an understandable and engaging way. Honestly inspiring! I hope he finds his way to live PTSD.
Have too say out of all of these videos I’ve seen Craig’s was the most gripping one it’s very inspiring how open he is about his struggles and his experiences you can tell he’s just a great bloke
What a true hero you are Craig! One of the best interviews I have ever seen on any platform. I will most definitely read your book! Best of luck to you! Absolute legend !
An amazing story thank you. God bless you Craig.
Thank you Craig for sharing your story; heart-breaking and raw in its honesty. All the best and happiness to you, your wife and Betsy.
Powerful interview, much respect to you for your service Craig.
Had me in tears at the end. God bless you sir and I can’t thank you enough for keeping us all safe with your duty’s
Craig… what a wonderful guy you are. Wish you the best
What a guy!
Stay strong, soldier - you got this
Legend of a man. And to all the people serving on the front line. And behind. Thank you.
Darn it man you made me cry. I have complex ptsd, my husband, two cats and EMDR treatment is what's keeping me alive.
♥️
Have you thought of dmt, ayahuasca therapy?
@@jmathews470 absolutely thought about it but it's hard to find a place where one could do it safely with a therapist.
@@anette-_. not trying to get personal only trying to help. Is your issues combat related? If so then I may be able to lead you in a direction that could help you get into a safe environment under medical supervision.
Glad to see more from this man, I like hearing him talk.
watching this really shows you how precious and delicate life is. Makes you appreciate everything you have, family, friends. I dont know Craig, i know nothing of PTSD but watching him talk about it is genuinely inspiring and shows how ever low things may get that there is something worth fighting for. Thanks for taking the time to share your story.
I’ve read Craig’s book after watching his first interview on here. The things he writes about and the things he’s seen and done are sometimes harrowing. Craig has my up most respect. What an absolute hero. God bless you Craig.
Craig is a legend, calmest and nicest person when it comes to talking about such traumatic experiences
He’s awesome! What an absolute hero. Could listen to him for hours. Top lad. Well done and thank you.
KEEP STRONG CRAIG
Inspiration to us all- Thank you
heart goes out to this man , to be able to tell his life story and how he has struggled with his mental state of mind , thank you for your service
Thank you for your service Craig your story was a eye opener gave me chills im glad you found your beacon of light in the dark times your a wonderful human and your voice needed to be heard in this world and to team great video you guys truly captured something special for all of us to see
I've watched the first one three times. Now, I've watched this one. Craig seems like a solid guy, and I hope Craig, Tanya, and Betsy live long happy lives.
I've seen this video so many times now and I always cry a little when he tells the near suicide story. I can't believe how tough and incredibly brave this people. You're an inspiration mate.
Bless you young man, I pray the best for you. You are a brave, amazing man.
You are an incredibly brave man and it is humbling listening to your story. Thank you for your service Craig.
Thank you for sharing this story. Strength, inspiration, and all combat vets should listen to this. No matter how strong we are in service we are weak on our own after service. Stronger together.
this a really eye opening account of Craig’s experience in and out of the military and i’m grateful he’s managing to get through this day to day with his wife and betsy the terrier 👍,great work you’re doing Craig! and wish you all the best for the future 🙂.
This guy such a legend. Big love to you and tanya!
From the moment I saw the shorter interviews back in the days, I sometimes literally thinking how is Craig doing, hoping he is well... I never saw a guy like him. Truly an amazing character. Thank you for this long version. I could listening him for hours 🙏 And I cry everytime when he is telling the story about the phone call to his wife... 🙈🙏 Thank you Craig for this interview and LADtv too. Good luck Craig 🤝
An Incredible man. Honest. Cold. Conversation
What a guy…what a legend, much love ❤️
Craig, there are no words really, we cannot know how it's like.... Just sending you a lot of encouraging vibes, wishes and LOVE.
Seems like such a kind genuine fellow. God bless him. A true hero, a real warrior. I wish him the best of everything for life. If anyone deserves happiness, it's this Man.
I could listen to this man talking for hours. Incredibly brave, incredibly damaged, incredibly strong. The love of his women and dog are keeping him together. I hope you find peace one day big man.
All the best to you and your family, mate! We ask way too much of way too few and all too often then turn our backs on those to whom we owe so much. Thank you for your service, your sacrifices, your bravery, and your still being here today. The world needs more blokes like you, as much following your service as during! And thank you to your wife who has sacrificed so much as well! We’re all in this life together and it only works when we all stick together. So it is important that as a society we support those brave men and women who are asked to do so much more than the rest of us. All the best, mate, and you forever have my gratitude and respect!!!
Wow. He is a humble hero. The best interview I have ever seen.
I'm speechless.
Thank you for sharing!
I have never felt so strongly about giving another stranger a hug and although I don’t know him, I love him as a human.
Thank you for sharing your story Craig ! very emotional as I also suffer with PTSD amongst other things but the dog part got me the most ! I hope you keep well Craig and look after yourself as much as you can keep going never give up ! Thanks again
