    As a Brit/American living in England. I have never even heard of this guy or the siege in Nairobi in 2019. So much rubbish on television (which I don’t really watch btw) and no big fuss made of our hero’s. Such humility in this man. Thank you Sir. If you ever read this. So proud of you.

      Brother watch the “Shawn Ryan show” & “Neil Oliver” (uk) and between those two. I’ve found at least that between the two of them, if I watch Neil’s show one day/ Shawns the next and vice versa: I can apply what I heard from those two and “hold it up” against what… you know I’m just going to start calling it “the legacy media” because it won’t exist in a few years now.
      It might have survived if the other candidate had won. Because there would be more war footage to watch I imagine.
      Shawn Ryan had an analyst on yesterday who was fairly confident that Trump would win.
      He sadly also pointed out the type of underhanded tactics we could expect last minute, for example:
      District of Columbia: “92.6% Harris vs 6.72% Trump”
      I’m aware that those two numbers don’t make 100% but there must be spoiled ballots & a local independent candidate.
      In all seriousness though my brother, even if you don’t agree with my political views or any of my views: these two shows “podcasts” is more accurate. They still stand. Because they show the “narrative” and then speak to independent experts.
      Neil in the more traditional way of finding an “expert” who isn’t compromised to the best of his ability. Then puts the question to them. Then the same question to their business rival. So we get an overview. Oftentimes. Most times even if it’s my own specialty subject. I generally go to bed thinking about some new perspective that I hadn’t considered.
      Also they cover topics that the mainstream media do not. Simply because it reflects badly upon the current administration.
      I hope that this information reaches you fair and well and that it is useful to you.
      Kindest regards
      J 🫡

You could just tell there was something, I’m appalled at the way our sniveling government have treated this absolute warrior (and if you are reading these responses Chris…….from one Paratrooper to another……. You are a warrior, and we ALL have your back, trust me “we are here, send us” if you ever need support. Trump was the only politician to show this warrior any respect.

      It’s too good to end up in a box office for our entertainment that everyone will forget 1 month later. The mystery of that day, knowing the outcome but none of the details elevates it somehow. No movie will ever do it justice and no other human should take his place in the making of said movie. It’s Gods story to tell and one day he will.

      Hmm, historically SAS operators have had a lot of latitude in what they do. They may pay a price later, if the shit hits the fan, but they are expected to use initiative. It’s one of the key strengths of the regiment.
      However, Christian was recognised with a medal for his Kenyan exploits , so I assume that he lives in the US as a personal choice. Also, he probably feels he can blend into the background better there than back home

    38:38 I gave up a little over a year ago and attempted suicide. After combat, I suffered so many terrible negative life events. From divorce, to having to leave my child, who I loved more than anyone I’ve ever loved times a thousand, to DUI, to a VA doctor ruining my life all over again, and subsequently losing trust in the healthcare that is designed for us, so I wasn’t getting help anymore. I’m not sure how I survived that suicide attempt, as I made the knot impossible to undo so I couldn’t back out. But that day God told me that there was a reason I went through all of that, and why I survived that attempt, and I immediately started a non-profit in scuba therapy to help guys that are struggling. I don’t have a website yet, else I would have shamelessly self promoted here. If someone reading this has combat PTSD I HIGHLY encourage you to try SCUBA, as it is one thing that almost everyone can do, and is so therapeutic and meditative.

      Agreed!! I’m just bummed out that he is being forced to lie.
      Well not “forced to lie” but to be able to tell the story: he’s been given permission by his true mates, to tell stories that aren’t his own, to get to the point. It sounds stupid but I feel that in a few years it will all make sense. The ministry of defence i can only assume just doesn’t want the world to know that the uksf trains Kenyan sf. Dunno why cos it’s well known. I guess they don’t want people knowing “the full operational procedure” all at once. It actually makes no sense because it’s making Chris hurt inside I can see it, he looks happy but I can tell he is hurting. I don’t care if Chris himself tells me he isn’t. I can tell that he’s been through extensive “MOD THERAPY”, with that whole “my whole life was leading to this moment… the trauma I received I was able to give back out to the correct people that day” is exactly the type of stuff a psychologist will convince you of to “free your mind of burden” which he ABSOLUTELY deserves. Make no mistake: I love this man. Dearly. You cannot know how much I care for him unless you are one of 7 other people i know.
      You might know how much if youre his mate and live in Texas… he might have told you about “us” but I dunno.
      I just want him to be able to tell the story properly. This is messed up man.
      Brother I’m here for you anytime.
      I’m in Scotland rn waiting on “OZ” to show up at the “boss house” but no such luck. He left a note a while back…
      I’m coming over to Texas in September brother. Can’t wait to see you. I’m just assuming you’re going to read this somehow. Not my style but f it. At this stage I don’t know wtf im supposed to do other than hit “go live” and prove that I know stuff and tell my story so that Chris can fully tell his.
      But maybe I ruin everything instead 🙈🙈🙈💀

      Rusty from team blue suffered from ptsd after operation nimrod. He also killed the terrorist who executed the one and only hostage. It's easy for people to see exceptional blokes, who do deserve the title of heroes. But i also hope that the public care for these guys beyond their uniforms. Some soldiers fight unseen battles that the public can never understand. But it think it would be important to point that out. Life isn't a hollywood action movie. When you realize the small margins that soldiers have to play with between life and death you must be humbled.

    Struggling for the last year and a half at the lowest point of my life , split from my wife of 25 years. Turned to drugs ,
    left my trade due to heartbreak
    and depression after becoming a weekend dad to my two daughters . Although This man makes me feel even more pathetic as a man , he makes me feel proud to be British . I'm not in the slightest religious in any form ,however I honestly believe he himself is indeed an Angel of the truest form , sent here for the sole purpose to protect . I'm not going to give up yet .
    Thank you Chris , from Sunderland .💙

      God Bless.
      The Lord is amazing
      Giving us all our individual skills
      I was in the Royal Irish for 20 years. And at the moment I am writing a book about my experiences.
      To be ready 24hrs a day, an under threat 24 hours a day
      I am writing this book, and I know the Lord wants me to mention him
      Or it will not be a success

      What he says about some people being wolves and others sheepdogs is so true in life , I grew up with over 20 guys who I hung about with but I can only name a few who would stand by me when there was trouble and not need to be asked but then claim credit for things that they didn't do that's a sheepdog and you Don't want them looking out for you when they don't get anything in return for example.
