What a legend. Loses part of his skull and still tells a story better than any American can. Get this man on the Shawn Ryan show ASAP. What a machine. I hope you are recovering and enjoying time off, you are the embodiment of a warrior and everything good in this world.
One thing/trend I've noticed on a lot of shows/interviews/podcasts etc is that nearly every speaker is still hyper fit, strong and generally able bodied. It's exceptionally rare to see people that have been *physically* damaged from war i.e. missing limbs, eyes, wheelchairs, significant burns etc. Granted some of these individuals may not want the publicity but I do wonder if there's an element of hiding this stuff away because it makes the military look less glamourous.
@@CoffeeFiend1yes we dont have the same TV exposure as we once did in uk theres not much of an army here either because politicians gave our land to Muslims whom dont fight for this country
3:45 into this video and I am thinking the exact same thing as you. This guy is more than a legendary bamf! This good Sir needs to get on the @ShawnRyanShowOfficial ASAP 🙏🫡
Sas bloke so humble, so many claim to have been in the sas, but like this man the real ones don’t really talk about it, he’s on a podcast but you can see he’s out of his comfort zone
It's like my father and many in his generation in WW2. They didn't talk much about it, many didn't even claim their medals....just tried to put it behind them. They didn't enjoy reliving it. I only found out after he'd passed away and I got his military record that he'd aquited himself very well.
Sean was in my multiple on operations in N.I. And was an excellent ‘Tom’ in The Parachute Regiment. He was very quiet lad but did some very good things whilst out and about. He had an eye for collecting intelligence which was key to what we were doing. I left the army in 2006 and always wondered what he ended up doing. Seeing him here is fantastic and to be honest.. nothing that has happened to him surprises me. A good lad and I wish him the very best.
DJ Shipley is a clown and someone whose tried to throw both his former friends and employees in prison over false charges and accusations. Do not support that guy.
@@JesusChrist2000BCNot to mention the fact he started fucking around with a fallen comrades wife immediately after death! Then married her and put her through absolute hell and cheated with everyone he could...a real piece of shit that guy
Loved him saying..."I don't really get in with news crews!" Go figure... be they were reckless and wanted to do their own thing, irrespective if the truth!
Can't imagine how tough it is after all that's happened, but hang in there Bish. Your getting to tell this story and carry on for a reason, wishing him all the best
One of my mates got shot in the head while in the army and lost a third of his brain. The only affect has been he lost 3 months memory of before he got shot and cocaine doesn't affect him cause he's got no pituitary gland to release adrenaline. His name is Darren but he goes by the nickname Arthur that I gave him cause he's only got half a head now.
Go on son! I was part of the very first intake of the Army Foundation College in Harrogate back in 1998 and yeah i started 3 month before my 16 birthday! Joined the 1st Battalion Black Watch RHR 42nd regiment of foot! That first year was brutal then phase 2 ITC Catterick was worse! 😂
What an absolute fucking unit. Welldone, I hope he can get his mind out of the fight and enjoy life to the fullest from this point onward. The guy has more than earned it.
Hold my beer!!! im just going to carry on in the game with half my legs gone and a fair chunk of grey matter missing... this fella is without a doubt a hard as nails hero!!! massive respect and still a total gent..
If I was also in a warzone with the propaganda machine I'd also lose my head, knowing full well you're helping keep safe the people that are willingly lying to the people you were in the military serving to protect.
Absolutely but i think he got paid to do it. A lot of them hafe to no their fighting a difty war created by the west and NATO. Also fighting along side of Nazis in some cases. Crazy but Many are just fooled by the propaganda machine MSM.
In 1989 saw kid rejected at MEPPs for missing 1.8 grams of brain from tripping with a drill and poking himself in the noggen. Told him he'd need 18 more months post incident without seizures to qualify.
Wonder about this guy Ned though I think he ran in front of Bish to eat the frag and rounds, even throwing himself onto Bish at one point to save him from a grenade, then tank round took his leg. Bish no longer having a bullet magnet in front of him finally got taken out by the same tank lol
A poem for this warrior.. A Farewell to Arms My golden locks Time hath to silver turnd. O Time too swift, O swiftness never ceasing! My youth 'gainst time and age hath ever spurnd, But spurnd in vain. Youth waneith by increasing. Beauty, strength, youth, are flowers but fading seen, Duty, faith, love, are roots, and ever green. My Helmet now shall make a hive for bees And lovers' sonnets turne to holy Psalms. A man at Armes must now serve on his knees, And feed on pray'rs, that are Age his alms. But though from Court to Cottage I depart, My Saint is sure of mine unspotted heart. And when I saddest sits in homely cell, I'll teach my Swaines this Carrol for a song. Blest be the hearts that wish my Sovereigne well, Curs'd be the souls that thinke her any wrong. Goddess, vouchsafe this aged man his right To be your Beadsman now that was your knight. - George Peele, "A Farewell to armes", Polhymnia,[3] 17 November 1590.
"And then we sort of started getting pummeled by grenades." - I mean what the actual fuck. This guy is a unit, harder than all nails ever. Chuck Norris would shit bricks.
You can still sign up to the army at 16 in the UK 😬 (You don’t get sent on any tours until 18 though, that’s part of how they try to lure guys in, “If you sign up at 16, two years of your contract, you’re relatively safe, and you can leave at 22 with a mortgage deposit saved up” etc).
15 3 months you can sign up usually take 9 months to sort out or something. i signed up at that time so i could join the PARA's straight from school. Teacher got me to do it lol. i ended up in prison and tbh i wished i had the choice of army of prison. all i ever wanted to do was be a soldier... mother watched soldier soldier everyday i grew up watching platoon... universal soldier i know they're very different. I had Bios from so many ex SAS soldiers or ex PARAs i wished i was soldier more than anything... most will say i'm full of shit but i needed a father a role model and to be moulded into a man and the Army/PARAs would've done just that which is why i say this. i was born in 88 so gives you a little idea of the war films and series i would've been into. mothers ex was in bosnia with the RAF which was mental was based in germany for a while too so its not like i didn't know what war or being a soldier was. biggest regret
Kudos and absoulute ultimate respect to you for telling your story... and all in a very everyday calm sort of manner ...

I find that a lot of the Special Ops and Special Forces guys from militaries from The United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Italy and Poland all look the same. There's definitely a ''type'' for these kinds of units. I remember U.S. Navy SEAL Jocko Willink saying that these kinds of jobs even affect your appearance and how you look over time and I think that that can be part of it, too. There are some guys, they don't even have to say one word and you can just take one look at them and tell that they were in the military and there are others that you would never know it unless they told it to you. But the guys from the Swedish Special Forces, on the other hand, like Christian Craighead said, all seem to look like the bad guys from the movie Die Hard! A lot of them are tall, blonde and good -looking. It's weird! But military service is mandatory in Sweden( like it is in Israel), so maybe that's why they all look like that!
The fact that he lost part of his brain and can recall all of this and I can't remember what I did yesterday is really fuckin annoying. Excellent video.
Reminds me of the film = The Lost City. Where Brad Pitt's character is shot in the head believed dead, then reappears at the end of the film doing yoga. He feels 100% that's 10%. As you only use 10% of your brain so he switched to another 10%. Glad your alive and well, Sir. Take care. Some of us appreciate your service. Shame the government don't treat you all like royalty, that you deserve.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it’s a myth that we only use 10% of our brains. It is true though that if a certain part of the brain is damaged and there’s loss in function another part can take over to cover that function.
Bish mate, always proud of you brother. Happy finally to see you share some of your story. The lads say you're actually better looking now x
🤣🤣 Glad you said better looking and not good looking...Bish was never made to be a model, we all know that much 🤣🤣🤣
