James, this is your best podcast by a country mile. More guys like this need to be on. The ‘Gangsters’ and hardmen podcasts won’t ever reach the levels of this one. Guy pours his heart and soul into this. So open and brutally honest in how much he loved the army and still does but also with how much he’s hurting, suffering, struggling to cope! Such a great podcast this one!!
This guy is a fine example of dedication to the cause. Since 16 y.o. the army moulded him into, almost, perfection in his role and now they won't give him the support that he deserves on Civvy St. We all get to live one lifetime on this planet and he deserves for the remainder of his life to be as 'normal' as possible. I truly hope that things work out better for him and his wife and that his business ventures bear fruit moving forwards...
Listening to some of these criminals going on about how dangerous they are and then listening to him is another level, hes trained to kill you from 1.7 miles away and is as humble as it gets
When he said “ I feel sad, so so sad “ I had genuine tears rolling down my cheeks, stay strong and positive mate, your not vile, your the complete opposite, your an incredible inspiration.
Mr. Harrison is not vile at all. At a spiritual level we all have 4 guardian angels, 2 of whom give encouraging messages, 2 of whom give discouraging messages such as "being vile": they are mood setters. How, why? Our souls are on journeys from involution to evolution: our mindset can sway depending on what we think and what we allow ourselves to believe. Collective prayer will help him..
This country and this government are a complete waste of space. These men and women go to war for the prime minister and the corrupt government. The government should concentrate on trying to fix this country before going across the world to fix other countries. These brave men and women give there all and risk their lives and what for !!!! To come back home life changing injuries , even dead and what happens when they come back home full of mental health problems and ptsd. The government wash their hands of them.
Interesting opinion! How could they help him more? I know his misses needs some and has said she downstairs get any! I think the whole thing is sad. He's such a nice bloke, he deserves happyness
Heartbreaking to see Craig break down every time. Such a shame that he's been through what he has and there isn't more help out there for him. Such an inspiration!
The best interviews are the ones that make u feel like your not watching a interview .. fly on the wall, listening in to a deep conversation. Honest, from the heart & real. James once again brilliantly done 👏
The fact you sat and listened to Craig's story and never interrupted him is amazing, James. Could hear a few voice cracks in there also, I'm not ashamed to say this brought a tear to my eye.
"I had a week of bliss - it hits you twice as hard the next week" ... I felt that. Followed your story for a while now Craig and I've heard it a number of times in various interviews, even though I know what's coming, I still cry for you big man. Chin up brother x
It feels inspiring to know that someone so physically strong, worldly and what we consider to be in peak condition and success, can struggle so hard, as much as an average Joe. The blanket of depression doesn't discriminate whether it be me a work from home mother of four trying to do my very best, or a solider trying to do his very best.
It’s takes a massive toll on your mental health. I served in Afghanistan in 2008 & 2009 2nd Battalion Mercian Regiment, under 42 Commando, Herrick 12 & 13. And coming back off tour to civvy life just takes it out of you.
Samantha, the truth is that we're all average Joe's and Josephine's some of whom are blessed with unique talents, to quote the bible 'we all have feet of clay'. pp
As a Vietnam vet. (said so you can guess my age) this has to be the hardest testimony I've ever watched. Anyone having gone thru this level of warfare is OWED by his country - BIG TIME! Oh, I pray that there would be someone to get thru to him that Christ died for him and Craig needs to KNOW - deep inside--- God does NOT consider him vile. May God bless Craig's recovery.
You are an amazing human being Craig and I hope that one day you can find that inner peace. Thank you Craig for your service, You are truly inspirational 🥰🥰🇬🇧
not really. no one forced him to join the army and kill. He's obviously haunted, but it's not surprising as it comes with the territory of killing. I wish him well in dealing with his struggles but he said if a war kicks off again he would be at the front of the queue so why pity him
@@CashFlow287 my question is this why a video where who’d already made your mind up I suspect your already afraid of what he has to say . Does he scare you.
Keyboard comments from some, yes I get the irony of this message. The man, MAN is a hero and been let down, joined the army and I know from experience you get manipulated into things you wouldn’t do. The bigger picture is he did this on orders not personal choice.
Couple years from the release of this video but ordered the book! The story behind Craig is unbelievable brought tears to the eye! Thank you for the service and thank you for the podcast ♥️
I'm speechless, an incredible story. The way we treat our veterans is disgusting, these people protect us and when they're broken they've got no one. I hope things get better for Criag and his wife very soon
Wow... I am 50 years old and have never ever seen such a brilliant interview. Craig, you are a Fantastic person. I was actually proud of you and never met you. The fact that your have come onto an interview and spoken about your inner struggles, shows what a character you have, James is right. Your face lights up talking about looking out for your lads, also Tanya, she sounds like a real Gem. I have sat again watching this with total admiration. At times I laughed but others I had tears rolling down my face. My Gran wrote a poem for me when I had troubles, one line still sticks with me, "remember the sunshine will always follow the rain." Take care of yourself mate and that Wonderful wife of yours.
Most emotional podcast yet for me , "not being able to be happy" , "wearing the mask" I can relate too. Incredible story , true inspiration of a man ... God bless you Craig ❤
Never ever have I been so choked up listening to a podcast, This guy is a hero in every sense of the word, someone that has been through so much and all he wants to do is help other people and stop their suffering. I honestly hope you find peace and go on to be happy sir. You are truly inspirational (as is your wife)
This man is an absolute living legend, I’ve never seen someone with so much pain in their eyes I feel for him listening to some of this gives me goosebumps
I was a former member of the Det and have recently been diagnosed with PTSD. I fully understand the struggle. Tremendous respect Craig for sharing your feelings online. It took me years just to seek help. Your not alone brother.
Keep fighting bud had a good friend there, what you did deserves the utmost respect. This made me think back allot and I missed it but there is always a sacrifice in our game
Watched the whole interview and it felt like 10 minutes had passed. What an inspiration. Really hope he finds help and that the British army can start to help their veterans because it’s people like Mr Harrison that are truly selfless and deserve all the help in the world
Seen this legend on the lad bible interview. One of the most egoless people I have heard talk. Power to him, if I could even be half as honest and up front about the stuff that is deep down in me..I'd be a proud man. He really puts thing's in perspective for me. Nice work James
This has to be the most heart felt genuine interviews I’ve ever seen ! I’ve suffered with depression , for different reasons and the black duvet is spot on! The level of kindness and concern of others above his own struggles is just inspirational! What a truly incredible man! Thank you for your service Craig . Wishing you all the best with your new business and any struggles in the future. God bless you sir.🙏🏻
Relayed the living with PTSD perfectly. Everyday you wake up, you get up your a winner. Most people glamorise war and their part in it but this man tells it like it is. Best podcast ever.
My mental health stops me sleeping 🛌 so when Im struggling I put on podcasts just like this one n go to sleep to listen to people explain there problems that then helps me understand mine more. This man deserves the up most respect ✊🏼 💙 half the stuff this man says hits home! About being sad n not seeing an end to it, this is one of the best podcasts I’ve watched!
This one was somewhere between an interview and a therapy session. Good job James it must be hard to find a way to respond to some of these tough topics. The guy is a legend who needs some serious help and I hope he can find some well deserved peace
Thank god that people like Craig exist. He’s a genuine gift to our nation. Our world be be a worse place without him. Hero, no other word. Never quit, Craig! I also wouldn’t be here without my dog.
I'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face. I can't believe what he's been through. Craig you do deserve to be happy. You deserve a life. You deserve so much more help than you've been given. You've probably helped so many people with this interview. I don't even know you and my heart has so much love for you. I wish you the very, very best because you most certainly deserve it ❤
This man is an inspiration and you can literally see the torture in his eyes when he talks. The way he talks is very intense and scary, especially when he pauses and tears up. But at the same time he is also very inspirational and deserves happiness.
Craig, you don't realise how much you're helping people you will never meet. You have purpose, and you may never realise it but your strength gives others strength.
i would give all i have for that man to get his peace of mind back and i pray that is what will happen one day, you sir are a hero and i thank you for your service.
This was an incredible pod! 23 years of dedication to be thrown under the bus after…absolutely vile! Too many vets take there life after retirement! Craig is a special character and I wish him all the best on his recovery 🙌🏼🙏🏻
Correct my friend. These poor men and women just get dumped with no help or guidance whatsoever and it’s a disgrace but this country is a complete fraud along with our so called government. Destroying this country from the inside out.
My god. One my best podcasts of all time. What strength, super strength in fact. Even in his suffering he just takes it all on his shoulders. No drugs, no drink, no moaning. Truly inspiring. Wish you love my friend, one day the balance will come back. And for the interviewer, just brilliant. Love it, thanks for this 👍
How could anyone dislike this, this was was as pure as you can get when listening to someone talk about the crazy life he once lived fighting for his country, nothing but respect to the fella 🇬🇧👌❤️
What struck me is, that, like many veterans Craig Harrison realises that he wasn't really fighting for his country, more for corporate interests - This can only add to his issues with PTSD and depression. The truth is that we fail our veterans starting with the British Legion who're raking in cash but still do little for our homeless soldiers, Marines, Air and Sea men. I'll NEVER buy or wear another poppy again, but this won't stop me supporting you guys.
It's an absolute Shambles how he has been let down with the support he needs by the army and government. He is a proper bloke and I hope he can get to a place in future where he is happy and content. If there is a place I can donate towards his therapy I will happily give something back for the service he has given for our country and I'm sure many more would also contribute
These are the men that protect our country and we should be doing everything we can to help them, genuinely saddened me this humble guy suffers so much 💔💔 I hope you find happiness mate
Craig you are a hero to us "civvies in the UK" and it is a criminal shame the way the army and government have treated you. I wish you all the best and hope you do find peace in this life.
I’ve been sat here typing and then deleting for 30 minutes and I still cannot find the words to describe how powerful this is. Craig you are a hero and like all vets you deserve a million times more from this country than your getting. Thank you for all you’ve done.
It takes a strong man to open up about mental health issues the way he has, and a strong women too be standing beside you helping you through this.I hope you find your happiness.
What a guy brings a tear to the eye knowing such a good guy served his country now just left to suffer absolutely gutting Thanks for your service big man Hope you get the help you deserve
It's a reminder that joining the army may give you great mates and that's what they all say.....but you will be dumped by the army itself, as soon as you are of no further use, as they see it. They should use people like this to help other soldiers. The only ones that can truly u nderstand.
What a fantastic watch. He came alive when he talking about his life as a sniper. Then after it felt like the energy was drained from him. What an amazing man. X
It's hard to listen to Craig without feeling a gut wrenching empathy for him, fuming that he hasn't received more help from the govt. I wish there was something I could do to relieve his suffering, massive respect and love to you mate.
This guy is such a nice bloke, legend for what he did in Afghanistan, i feel so sorry for the damage its done to him though, i hope things get better for him given time.
One of the finest interviews I've ever listened to. The interviewer for me is perfect interviewer enough talk to get Craig talking, but little enough to let the interview flow perfectly. Craig though…what a guy, one of those guys that you would just love to sit to listen to.
When Craig said he felt sad so sad it got me, what a man he is great respect for Craig’s honesty and everything he has done for his country. I suffer with depression it just overwhelms me from nowhere and I sink, I can relate with a lot of what Craig says.
Absolutely brilliant. Amazing gentleman. So lovely that he's got a strong, loving and supportive wife. Your style of interviewing is an absolute pleasure to watch James. Thank you 😊👍
Craig is by far what many of us ex squaddies will call a true veteran. A man who is everything in defence of our country and a man who helps us all sleep at night safe and sound. A true gentleman. A true hero, and one day, I hope he finds the peace he truly deserves.
Wow, this is up there with the best James. Captivating viewing, this man is something special. So mild mannered but you can see the steel just by the eye contact. Real life struggles & pain. The part where he said he left with 16 & came back with 6 has to hit people deep inside & make you realise just what kind of stuff these soldiers see on a daily basis and then to be cast aside like a piece of used chewing gum back into the “real world” once they have served their time. He maybe doesn’t realise it as often as he should but i hope he takes timeout every so offen to reflect on all the lives he has saved & all the soldiers making their way that he helped pave the path for them. A true HERO! Rest up Craig & keep well x
He probably left to protect his family from any potential Al-Qaeda threats Due to our Dopy MOD Publicly exposing his identity as a serving soldier!! And was deservedly compensated by them as well !
Saw a clip of this on TikTok and came straight to your UA-cam channel to watch the full podcast. Just wanna say what a watch this was, this man fights every day but chooses to carry on, the real war is what he’s going through now, true inspiration. Respect to Craig and you James bro 💯
Watched this twice, hard to find words for what this man's been through, the mental struggle he must go through , hope he one day manages to be happy again
That is the best interview you’ve done James. You have interviewed people from all walks of life but this one is absolutely gripping from start to finish. Not only that, it’s not just his story (which is incredible in its own right) but the way it’s conveyed and it comes straight into the room you’re watching from, the sadness in that man’s eyes in some sequences is truly shocking that a hero made by our armed forces has then been hung out to dry and shat on from a great height. Shame on them. Powerful stuff indeed.
I suffered from serious depression for many years, and listening to Craig is so sad. The feeling of hopelessness, of these short windows of happiness just to be pulled back down. Of missing your true self. I truly hope he finds the help he needs and deserves, and starts seeing things a bit brighter. Day by day.
This was hands down the best podcast I’ve ever seen! Totally gripping from start to end, respect, love and prayers to Craig 🙏❤️ Keep pushing forward brother xx
It's good to get people on who talk about mental health issues......especially ex military personnel as it may help others struggling with the same to muster the courage to get help. PTSD is more severe than people realise.
As someone who is not in the army or hasn’t served, I find it incredibly interesting to hear stories from gents who have served our country, one thing I really find with military stories is the fact that it’s so easy to build up the imagery in my head and really create detailed visuals that are incredibly fascinating. Could listen to a roomful of ex army blokes talk all day and not get bored. What a top quality gentleman this guy is. Sounds like his wife is a keeper too; must be really hard for the women at home as well
You could almost sense the pain that Craig has been through What a story I’ve always been fascinated by soldiers stories and this one was brilliant the lad Bible clip was good but this was even better Big up to you Craig and big up to you once again James
As a ex forces soldier with two operational tours (Op Granby Op Lodestar) under my belt I can relate to Craig.I love being up the hills on my own whilst walking I listened to his book on Audible. Really enjoyed it.This man is a proper warrior.Makes a mockery of the press calling footballers warriors.Craig is a typical example of what makes the British Army the best in the world.
I've never wanted to give another bloke a hug more than this man. Keep battling away Craig. Thank you for your service. I hope you can get them demons under control, beat them with happiness. All the best.
I very rarely comment online....... Forget about the career criminals, that interview was REAL! I hope to god he gets all the support he needs, the guy is a legit John Coffey from the movie Green Mile.
WOW!The most powerful interview I’ve ever seen on the James English Channel, James stuttering chocking up and speechless. What a remarkable man Craig is hope he can overcome the demons and get his head right mental health issues are the worst.
What an amazing insight to life as a Top British Sniper. What a man, I hate how the army have deserted him, how is it possible for this gentle man to be simply pushed out with ptsd, and left to his own devices. Be that life or suicide. Thank you for your patience with him James. A wonderful interview. 👊🏻
Amazing podcast from the two of you. As a former frontline soldier I feel his pain. I was diagnosed with PTSD 10 years ago, but my ex wife couldn't live with me due to my suffering. Thanks for sharing both.
My dad has this from conflict, I love him to bits, it’s not easy though to see him so broken. My son is serving atm. My son has not been in conflict. He sort of disowned my dad & me. 💔 My dad has got advanced prostrate cancer he’s dying. He’s a mechanical engineer by trade & apparently all the chemicals cause this kind of cancer.
Ive watched every interview with James. This is the one that is the most Brutally honest, the most real, the most heart stopping...Of all the interviews, this one stays with you and i have nothing but respect and admiration for this guy. Stay strong Craig the world needs more guys with your strength
I’m ex 3 Para but I never went to war or saw any combat due to me getting injured on a parachute jump way back in 95. A friend of mine was in the Royal Marines did 12 years then went security in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 he to got blown up 15 feet in the air in a well built security vehicle 🚗 and landed on upside down on the roof. He was never the same and he committed suicide in April of 2019. ( RIP Tony Sutcliffe ) gone but never forgotten. 💪 ♥️
There’s a real pain in Craig’s eye’s, what a man.
Complete respect, big man.
Could not agree more

Thousand yard stare.
James, this is your best podcast by a country mile. More guys like this need to be on. The ‘Gangsters’ and hardmen podcasts won’t ever reach the levels of this one. Guy pours his heart and soul into this. So open and brutally honest in how much he loved the army and still does but also with how much he’s hurting, suffering, struggling to cope! Such a great podcast this one!!
Totally agree. This is on another level. I thought it'd be a good one but wow. Brutally deep and honest real life stuff. Inspirational
This guy is a fine example of dedication to the cause. Since 16 y.o. the army moulded him into, almost, perfection in his role and now they won't give him the support that he deserves on Civvy St.
We all get to live one lifetime on this planet and he deserves for the remainder of his life to be as 'normal' as possible.
I truly hope that things work out better for him and his wife and that his business ventures bear fruit moving forwards...
Yeap. Your only glorifying crime in the rest and think your a gangster yourself Probably connected to the HEROINE trade, yeah - you James English.

@@Theoriginalbigbrillo You had to correct him for 0.16 mile? Wasn’t the point of his comment
@@Theoriginalbigbrillo thanks for the correction. I can sleep well now
What an incredible human being, describing Craig as a hero isn’t enough. We need more people like Craig in the world.

Massive respect to Craig and his wife.
This guy is an inspiration, our country is failing him.
Our country is now failing us all.
@Nodge Sinisborat Exactly. The 99% are use to fulfil whatever the 1% desire.
You know why? Because our leadership have been infested by the Tribe who are just exploiting us.

Thats the best thing about james.. lets his guests tell their story and doesnt interrupt.keeps it simple
Fair play to you James, you waited and allowed Craig to compose when the conversations got tough. Both played their part with this interview

This man is an inspiration and you can literally see the torture in his eyes when he talks. The way he talks is very intense and scary, especially when he pauses and tears up. But at the same time he is also very inspirational and deserves happiness.
Craig, you don't realise how much you're helping people you will never meet. You have purpose, and you may never realise it but your strength gives others strength.
Powerful interview and a good insite into the darkness 0f PTSD .
The honesty of the pain n trauma that's still present.
i would give all i have for that man to get his peace of mind back and i pray that is what will happen one day, you sir are a hero and i thank you for your service.
He's different breed. Nothing but respect to him and his kin.
What an incredible story he has..I really hope Craig finds the peace that he is looking for....I wish him well...I'm sure we all do
This was an incredible pod! 23 years of dedication to be thrown under the bus after…absolutely vile! Too many vets take there life after retirement! Craig is a special character and I wish him all the best on his recovery 🙌🏼🙏🏻
Correct my friend. These poor men and women just get dumped with no help or guidance whatsoever and it’s a disgrace but this country is a complete fraud along with our so called government. Destroying this country from the inside out.
His plea on contemplating suicide is heart wrenching yet a story untold by many. Craig's story is hauntingly beautiful. What an inspiration.
My god. One my best podcasts of all time. What strength, super strength in fact. Even in his suffering he just takes it all on his shoulders. No drugs, no drink, no moaning. Truly inspiring. Wish you love my friend, one day the balance will come back. And for the interviewer, just brilliant. Love it, thanks for this 👍
How could anyone dislike this, this was was as pure as you can get when listening to someone talk about the crazy life he once lived fighting for his country, nothing but respect to the fella 🇬🇧👌❤️
What struck me is, that, like many veterans Craig Harrison realises that he wasn't really fighting for his country, more for corporate interests - This can only add to his issues with PTSD and depression. The truth is that we fail our veterans starting with the British Legion who're raking in cash but still do little for our homeless soldiers, Marines, Air and Sea men. I'll NEVER buy or wear another poppy again, but this won't stop me supporting you guys.
Absolutely spot on what you said and i agree with you 👍
It's an absolute Shambles how he has been let down with the support he needs by the army and government. He is a proper bloke and I hope he can get to a place in future where he is happy and content. If there is a place I can donate towards his therapy I will happily give something back for the service he has given for our country and I'm sure many more would also contribute
I would too.
How would or could you start such a thing?
I never knew I had depression until I watched this and just wanna thanks James and Craig it was a real eye opener
These are the men that protect our country and we should be doing everything we can to help them, genuinely saddened me this humble guy suffers so much 💔💔 I hope you find happiness mate
Made me emotional myself the stuff he’s is going through hope he finds peace in life soon 🙏 God bless you Craig
Craig you are a hero to us "civvies in the UK" and it is a criminal shame the way the army and government have treated you. I wish you all the best and hope you do find peace in this life.
I’ve been sat here typing and then deleting for 30 minutes and I still cannot find the words to describe how powerful this is. Craig you are a hero and like all vets you deserve a million times more from this country than your getting. Thank you for all you’ve done.
It takes a strong man to open up about mental health issues the way he has, and a strong women too be standing beside you helping you through this.I hope you find your happiness.
What a guy brings a tear to the eye knowing such a good guy served his country now just left to suffer absolutely gutting
Thanks for your service big man
Hope you get the help you deserve
It's a reminder that joining the army may give you great mates and that's what they all say.....but you will be dumped by the army itself, as soon as you are of no further use, as they see it.
They should use people like this to help other soldiers. The only ones that can truly u nderstand.
What a fantastic watch. He came alive when he talking about his life as a sniper. Then after it felt like the energy was drained from him. What an amazing man. X
What a brave, brave man. So sad to hear a man so down. He deserves the world. Incredibly moving interview
It's hard to listen to Craig without feeling a gut wrenching empathy for him, fuming that he hasn't received more help from the govt. I wish there was something I could do to relieve his suffering, massive respect and love to you mate.
Wow wat a guy the gangsters and hardman are nothing compared to this man
This guy is such a nice bloke, legend for what he did in Afghanistan, i feel so sorry for the damage its done to him though, i hope things get better for him given time.
Total respect for this gentleman, wish him and his family all good things for the future
One of the finest interviews I've ever listened to. The interviewer for me is perfect interviewer enough talk to get Craig talking, but little enough to let the interview flow perfectly. Craig though…what a guy, one of those guys that you would just love to sit to listen to.
When Craig said he felt sad so sad it got me, what a man he is great respect for Craig’s honesty and everything he has done for his country.
I suffer with depression it just overwhelms me from nowhere and I sink, I can relate with a lot of what Craig says.
Absolutely brilliant. Amazing gentleman. So lovely that he's got a strong, loving and supportive wife. Your style of interviewing is an absolute pleasure to watch James. Thank you 😊👍
Craig is by far what many of us ex squaddies will call a true veteran. A man who is everything in defence of our country and a man who helps us all sleep at night safe and sound.
A true gentleman. A true hero, and one day, I hope he finds the peace he truly deserves.
Wow, this is up there with the best James. Captivating viewing, this man is something special. So mild mannered but you can see the steel just by the eye contact. Real life struggles & pain. The part where he said he left with 16 & came back with 6 has to hit people deep inside & make you realise just what kind of stuff these soldiers see on a daily basis and then to be cast aside like a piece of used chewing gum back into the “real world” once they have served their time. He maybe doesn’t realise it as often as he should but i hope he takes timeout every so offen to reflect on all the lives he has saved & all the soldiers making their way that he helped pave the path for them. A true HERO! Rest up Craig & keep well x
What a human, what a man, without people like you sir we wouldn’t have our tomorrow.
Let’s start a gofund me to pay for this hero’s therapy. Taking that financial pressure off is the least we can do
Let’s do it
I hope he has a good therapist and not one of these bullshit woke ones who think masculinity is toxic. Masculinity like his is a necessary good.
@@porlawright Great comment 👍
Did you do it or just comment this for likes?
Craig Harrison is a true hero, his story needs to be told. The army need to do more for men like him when they leave the forces.
Can't believe he had to leave the UK.. Our government sold him down the river.......
I know that’s totally unacceptable. How can you serve your country lie that. Then for that same country to let you down.?
He probably left to protect his family from any potential Al-Qaeda threats
Due to our Dopy MOD Publicly exposing his identity as a serving soldier!!
And was deservedly compensated by them as well !
@@Theoriginalbigbrillo correct Paul👍🏼
Saw a clip of this on TikTok and came straight to your UA-cam channel to watch the full podcast.
Just wanna say what a watch this was, this man fights every day but chooses to carry on, the real war is what he’s going through now, true inspiration.
Respect to Craig and you James bro 💯
Thanks brother
What a powerful interview. I was in tears. He’s a hero and so strong for spreading the message. Great work James. 💖
❤️
Watched this twice, hard to find words for what this man's been through, the mental struggle he must go through , hope he one day manages to be happy again
That is the best interview you’ve done James. You have interviewed people from all walks of life but this one is absolutely gripping from start to finish. Not only that, it’s not just his story (which is incredible in its own right) but the way it’s conveyed and it comes straight into the room you’re watching from, the sadness in that man’s eyes in some sequences is truly shocking that a hero made by our armed forces has then been hung out to dry and shat on from a great height. Shame on them. Powerful stuff indeed.
Thanks Jamie 😀
What a gentle soul, he does not deserve these demons. what a guy stay strong Craig. love ya mate.
I won’t never moan about getting up for work again and thinking I’m stressed this guy is a inspiration heartbreaking that he ain’t getting the help
I suffered from serious depression for many years, and listening to Craig is so sad. The feeling of hopelessness, of these short windows of happiness just to be pulled back down. Of missing your true self. I truly hope he finds the help he needs and deserves, and starts seeing things a bit brighter. Day by day.
This was hands down the best podcast I’ve ever seen! Totally gripping from start to end, respect, love and prayers to Craig 🙏❤️ Keep pushing forward brother xx
❤️
What an incredible guy. It needs to be a film,And Craig and his Mrs deserve all the credit and support that can be offered .
It's good to get people on who talk about mental health issues......especially ex military personnel as it may help others struggling with the same to muster the courage to get help. PTSD is more severe than people realise.
What an amazing guy, highly let down by the army and the country. Love you big man💙🙏
Another great interview, the pain and trauma that guy is suffering by serving his his country is really sobering. A true hero!!!!!!
As someone who is not in the army or hasn’t served, I find it incredibly interesting to hear stories from gents who have served our country, one thing I really find with military stories is the fact that it’s so easy to build up the imagery in my head and really create detailed visuals that are incredibly fascinating.
Could listen to a roomful of ex army blokes talk all day and not get bored. What a top quality gentleman this guy is. Sounds like his wife is a keeper too; must be really hard for the women at home as well
You could almost sense the pain that Craig has been through
What a story I’ve always been fascinated by soldiers stories and this one was brilliant the lad Bible clip was good but this was even better
Big up to you Craig and big up to you once again James
As a ex forces soldier with two operational tours (Op Granby Op Lodestar) under my belt I can relate to Craig.I love being up the hills on my own whilst walking I listened to his book on Audible. Really enjoyed it.This man is a proper warrior.Makes a mockery of the press calling footballers warriors.Craig is a typical example of what makes the British Army the best in the world.
James / Craig, this is a stunning interview...Craig be proud, you’re an inspiration. Much respect.
👍🏼
I've never wanted to give another bloke a hug more than this man. Keep battling away Craig. Thank you for your service. I hope you can get them demons under control, beat them with happiness. All the best.
I very rarely comment online....... Forget about the career criminals, that interview was REAL!
I hope to god he gets all the support he needs, the guy is a legit John Coffey from the movie Green Mile.
This is the best podcast james craig harrison what hes been through unbelievable amazing
WOW!The most powerful interview I’ve ever seen on the James English Channel, James stuttering chocking up and speechless. What a remarkable man Craig is hope he can overcome the demons and get his head right mental health issues are the worst.
What an amazing insight to life as a Top British Sniper. What a man, I hate how the army have deserted him, how is it possible for this gentle man to be simply pushed out with ptsd, and left to his own devices. Be that life or suicide. Thank you for your patience with him James. A wonderful interview. 👊🏻
Amazing podcast from the two of you. As a former frontline soldier I feel his pain. I was diagnosed with PTSD 10 years ago, but my ex wife couldn't live with me due to my suffering. Thanks for sharing both.
Sorry to hear that! I hope you find peace of mind 🙏
Mr Craig Harrison, from the bottom of my heart I thank you for your story. I hope you can find the peace you so rightly deserve. Peace. ❤
My dad has this from conflict, I love him to bits, it’s not easy though to see him so broken. My son is serving atm. My son has not been in conflict. He sort of disowned my dad & me. 💔 My dad has got advanced prostrate cancer he’s dying. He’s a mechanical engineer by trade & apparently all the chemicals cause this kind of cancer.
Ive watched every interview with James. This is the one that is the most Brutally honest, the most real, the most heart stopping...Of all the interviews, this one stays with you and i have nothing but respect and admiration for this guy. Stay strong Craig the world needs more guys with your strength
❤️
I’m ex 3 Para but I never went to war or saw any combat due to me getting injured on a parachute jump way back in 95. A friend of mine was in the Royal Marines did 12 years then went security in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 he to got blown up 15 feet in the air in a well built security vehicle 🚗 and landed on upside down on the roof. He was never the same and he committed suicide in April of 2019. ( RIP Tony Sutcliffe ) gone but never forgotten. 💪 ♥️
God bless
What do u expect from killing innocent? I pray u never find peace
@@sadiyahjahan3652you building a life on hating opposition will be your arrogant downfall
@@sadiyahjahan3652 saying free palestine and commenting this is horrible
Nothing but respect for this guy . Hope he gets the help he deserves . Great podcast again
