_”I felt really small.”_ His humility + candidness about his true feelings about going into combat are not only refreshing, but an important reminder of what hundreds-of-thousands of 🇺🇦 civilians turned soldier almost overnight are feeling and facing and without the small comfort of prior training. It’s why it sickens me when ever I hear complaints let alone opposition to providing Ukraine aid.
Pretty sure most young soldiers in every modern war, who are not ftom rich wester countries, felt the same. Pakistanis, Indians, Vietnamese, Egyptians. There's nothing special about the Ukrainian experience, except that they are white Europeans and they are getting phenomenal, lavish support which very few armies receive. Did you support the Palestinians when they stood up to the might of the IDF? Did you support Amy other poor country under attack? Probably not. So how dare you lecture other people who have decided that they fo not want to provide unlimited support to the Ukraine.
@@pmurnionIts a form a tribalism, people tend to care more about atrocities happening to similar cultures/countries because it feels more relatable. Im not saying that it's right, but it's nothing new. Human nature.
@@pmurnion well, of course if you just collect your thoughts you will recall that until recently the US supported the Afghan army on a much larger scale compared to the strength of the opposing taliban forces. And the country was and still is poor. So yeah, the call on the complainers to stop their whining is quite justified
@@user-xm6zs6ez6i Likewise you Russian troll! We stood firm when you were Soviet and good deal more powerful the you are now while we stood alone. The battle for control over the Baltic has been raging for a millenia and every time have stood firm. We will stand firm in the future. We know who you are and what you can do if you are allowed. You showed your true face in Butcha and with your storm-Z units you showed how high you value human lives. We know, and we reject it! Your threats only strengthens our resolve - and you better remember that we have always punched way above our weight. So the memory goes both ways. Europe will not forget, be so sure, but we might forgive if you change your ways.
Tack till alla som står bakom dokumentärerna på Militärt. Alltid den högsta kvaliteten. Ni delar så otroligt värdefulla berättelser som defenitivt berör väldigt många av oss.
Artillery fire on the front-line, the number one killer, that's real and super scary. If not for the drones and helicopters, I got flashbacks to Eastern Front in WW2. Respect for not watching it on TV.
"Hell on earth"? Depends on who you ask - I guarantee it's not for the people who started it. So not for Blackrock, Statestreet and Vanguard. Then it's the absolute best of the best. :-)
Chris, your willingness to face the realities of combat and share your candid experiences is truly admirable. It sheds light on the struggles that so many brave individuals endure when thrown into such challenging situations. Your humility and dedication to the cause are an inspiration. 🙏🇸🇪🇺🇦
Jag önskar att fler Svenskar med rätt kunskap kunde åka ner och bidra och hoppas att intervju som denna kan både inspirera men samtidigt ge fakta innan beslut för att åka ner tages. Jag tror det finns många som vill hjälpa till men det är inte så lätt rent praktiskt att med ens boende, familj, job etc.
MER!!! Efter egen erfarenhet så är här TUNNOR att ösa ur. Skulle kunna göra en serie av detta! Bättre återberättelse har jag aldrig hört och glöm inte att följa och stödja hans arbete!
Fyfan vad stolt jag blir över att vara svensk jag blir när jag ser det här, även om jag inte gjort något för att förtjäna det. Du är en heder för ditt folk "Chris".
This is amazing content and uploaded on an amazing day for Ukraine too. Fantastic. Slightly off topic, but there are endless studies about the huge impact having animals (especially dogs) at the front has on soldier morale/mental health. No surprise, the soldiers loved his doggo.
A good no-bullshit description of combat. It proves that the better trained you are, that training 'kicks in' under fire and gives you something to focus on. I hope that Chris and his training team got some time and resources to get a programme established for his unit. 🙄🇺🇦🇸🇪
Må Gud skydda dig och alla soldater som offrar sina liv för vårat underbara Europa!! Tack för din tjänst Chris! Vi är många som uppskattar det du gör💛💙 💛💛💛SLAVA UKRAINI💙💙💙
Really appreciate the English subtitles. Chris, I wish and pray for you and all your brothers in arms to be safe and to always be able to return safely from every single one of your missions. I hope you and all your comrades are still alive and well. Thank you for defending democracy and for helping Ukraine in its struggle for freedom. With lots of love, prayers, respect, and support from California.
Great soldiers, great warriors, however fighting Russians is a different war level alltogether. Much respect for all ofvyou guys, Ukranians, Russians, Foreign fighters on both sides.
Tko zna,možda je davno njegov predak bio na prostoru današnje ukrajine,pa ga je srce i kapljica krvi vukla nazad.Poštovanje iz hrvatske.❤ Prevedi na švedski.

Tack för allt du har gjort för Ukraina, och för att du berättar hur det verkligen är där.
Solid old school Swedish gentleman. I'm happy you and your dog returned. Hälsningar från Finland
Den mannen, har ta mig fan, stått upp som en viking. Respekt.
tack för din insats chris, väldigt bra att få höra om denna upplevelse för att ännu mer kunna förstå denna konflikt.
Amazing interview. The horror of combat totally captured in incredible detail. "Chris" hope you are well. So much respect for you!
Herr mannelig on bagpipes sounded awsome
ja just det tyckte jag kände igen den låten
Krigsdokumentär Kvalite.
Herr mannerlig i slutet var mäktigt
håller med!
Nåt av det intressaste jag hört o sett. Så bra berättat. Tack skulle vilja hjälpa till
Thank you for this video and English subtitles.
Tusen tack och enorm respekt till folk som "Chris"

Tack till alla som står bakom dokumentärerna på Militärt. Alltid den högsta kvaliteten. Ni delar så otroligt värdefulla berättelser som defenitivt berör väldigt många av oss.
Thanks for sharing your story. Many wise words my Swedish brother 🇸🇪🇫🇮
A real modern Viking.
Kompetent, osjälvisk och modig. Sverige behöver fler som den här hjälten.
Det är den typiska svenska vikingen där, punkt.
Thanks for sharing your experience Chris
Intressant att höra.
P.s. Vackert framfört 'Mannelig' på säckpipan i slutet!
Fabulous account of the war but as I do not understand a word of it. All I understood was that the bagpipes were very nice.
You need to turn the subtitles on.
It's not summer time over in the Ukraine anymore. It's cold, wet, mud everywhere.
Humble man, great that you shared your story Chris.
The skirl of the bagpipes always gives me a chill
Tack för du delar med dig!
Legit respect

First time I saw a drone in a store, my first thought was, these would have been great in the military.
Brilliant, thank you
Chris is the sort of guy a soldier would hope to serve beside (or under, or to command). I'm glad he's made it this far.
Hjälte! Du är en förkämpe för oss som VILL men inte vågar! Tack för insatsen!
Om man inte vågar då vill man egentligen inte
Mycket sevärt!
