    Hello, I've seen a lot of comments on here asking us to change the title of this video so I thought i'd address it. We chose the World Record story as the title as we felt that that story had the widest appeal to the general public and therefore more people would see Craig's important message about the impact of PTSD. I've spoken with Craig, he's completely happy with the title and the content of the video. He's also been touched by the support he has received in this comment section.
    We're going to be filming an update video with Craig in the coming months so watch this space. If you want to support Craig you can donate to his Survivor School here: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/maverick-survival-school

This man and scores just like him sign up truly believing they are protecting and serving their countrymen. They are willing to kill and tote the trauma that comes with it... for you and me. I appreciate this man and the millions around the world like him. Only because he has sacrificed so goddamn much. I don't have to agree with him on the how and why, I just know they do it for their country, and it's one hell of a job our countries ask of them. You guys should learn to get past your fucking ideologies and learn to see people for who they are. I think you'll find the world isn't such a terrible place. This man deserves much better than what he got. The least we can do is not condemn him for doing what he was led to believe was his civic duty.

    He gave everything, his whole life, he literally ruined himself for his country, he broke his brain, and it took them 30 minutes to say "you are crazy" and kicked him out of the service. People like him need professional support and medical help once they are out of the service, a medal means nothing. They deserve free 24/7 professional support and help, that's the least of what they deserve. I'm glad this guy made it out alive, he's lucky to have a great wife, not everyone has that.

You literally become a destructive, nihilistic, zombie version of yourself. You want to change bad, but can’t make consistent progress. There’s no motivation, those things don’t matter anymore unfortunately. Again, you don’t have a choice, it takes over. The worst part is that the only healing you can do is within, you can be sedated or off whatever meds you prefer, but you won’t get any actual progress unless it clicks in your head.

    I understand what he means about the dog saving his life. I had a period in my life that I was suicidal. I lived with my mum and dad at the time. I woke up one day and felt i couldn't take it anymore. I waited for my mum and dad to leave and when they did I decided I'd go and end it. At the time we had a Rottweiler, the one in the picture, and she was really obedient dog you'd tell her to do something and she would do straight away. And on this day as I was going to leave she sat in front of the front door and would not move. I shouted at her and tried to pull her away but she still wouldn't move. I looked at her and realised she knew there was something wrong with me. I realised at that point that while my mum and dad and sisters and their families would understand my dog never would do. I feel she knew somehow what I was going to do and she wanted to help me. She literally saved my life that day. I just hugged her and cried for about an hour and then I felt a little bit better. If anyone is having any trouble with mental health issues, please talk to someone. You won't be laughed at or mocked or looked at in disgust you will be helped I promise you. No issues are ver too trivial or minor.

      I have a similar attempt story to Craig’s- all my pets followed me to where I was going to do it. 4 dogs, 2 cats and a horse just stared at me and I couldn’t bare the thought of them being scared by the sound of the shot.
      So I hurried back to the house to put the gun away before my boyfriend got back home - I had timed it so that it wouldn’t take long to find me.
      That was 20 yrs ago and I’ve struggled everyday and attempted a few times since then but I’m glad it didn’t end like that then.
      The times when Ive got back to that point again, Ive thought about every detail of the reality of the aftermath. What it will do to everyone who has to deal with what I’ve done, what happens to my pets is one that really gets me as I live alone now. That snaps me out of it.

      He is a killer. He's been hired by his government to go and kill people.
      I get the armies are required to protect countries, but if you look at the history of the British Army, how often has it been the aggressor? Just look at the British Empire - it was built on the British invading other countries. And, whilst there many have been a few legitimate cases of the Army acting as a defence force, for the most part, I would say this isn't necessarily the case.
      Those who took part in WWII, as well as those who served in the Army due to conscription, are different to those who have enlisted in recent decades, especially in the 21st Century. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who signs up knows what they're getting into (potentially).
      Increasingly, I find it hard to distinguish between terror groups and national armies. In fact, I was reading about the topic a few months ago (when looking into definitions for "terrorism"), and it was interesting to see what a delicate topic it can be to define "terrorism". For example, if you word it badly, then the actions of certain governments/armies (e.g. those of the British) may fall under the definition of terrorism. Likewise, certain so-called "bad actors" may be excluded if the definition is not wide enough - e.g. the Taliban.
      I grew up a bigger supporter of the armed forces, but based on what I've said, in recent years I've seen it as a big murky grey area. And I find the (often unconditional) support that people give to members of the armed forces a bit disturbing. The UK in particular seems to be following the US in regarding servicemen and women as untouchable heroes.
      Just look at the public outcry any time potential crimes are unearthed that were potentially committed by British (or other) armed forces - e.g. the murder/torture/rape of people. Regardless of whether you think someone is a hero or not, if they've committed a crime (especially a serious one), they should be brought to justice - and not exonerated simply because they chose to put on a uniform.
      As for someone like this, it's right not to celebrate him simply because he's a killer. The fact he feels no pride in extinguishing a life is good - but he should feel shame.
