Ex-Sniper Nicholas Irving on War Stories, Who Snipers Aim For, Body Parts to Target (Full Interview)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Ex-Army sniper Sgt. Nicholas Irving returned to VladTV to discuss various topics involving his life in the military and America's current affairs in foreign territories. He began by picking apart Hollywood films that depict war environments, arguing that movies only show 1% of what actually occurs. He also criticized the government for its treatment of soldiers once they were off the battlefield. Later in the interview, he spoke about his experiences as a sniper and being labeled a psychopath for the amount of lives he and his battalion claimed. Irving also provided tips to viewers on how to respond during physical altercations and home invasions and listed some of the legendary snipers before his time. Finally, Irving offered his thoughts on America's involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war, the Israel-Hamas war, and much more.

Bruh, if the most high sent his son to hell for 3 days... dude snapped 😳
Facts I know the whole story and I keep listening…his life is a movie,,I love war movies…peace be with him✌🏽 bought his book too..bless him
Been ignoring all the clips so I can see this one full 😭
Every time only person vlad will have me fiending for full 😅
Smart lol some of us couldn't resist
Lol I tried but I had to watch em
Imma just rewatch it fuggit😅
I tried to but I watched some clips
Best guest that’s ever been on this channel. Real Humble Beast.
Hope this dude stays safe after this interview, he dropped the facts our parents generation still can't accept and blatantly ignore out of denial.
He dropped a lot of facts, which spot are you talking about specifically?
What do you know about war? You ever fought in one mayne?
@@Just_Manny305u trolling?
@user-dh4ki3ex6m im dead ass serious, this man said a lot of heavy stuff this interview so I'm curious to know what part @slaughtermayne is talking about
@@fat_biscuits3928 I see that 7th Cav pin. Garry Owen. 3/7 Cav 3rd ID here 2005-2011
Top 3 Vlad TV interviews ever Shawn Prez you the man!! So are you Nicholas Irving!! Blessings to the both of you always
All the SEALs on UA-cam can learn a thing or two from this man.
Facts. All a lot of them do is brag and ego trip about what they've done.
💯
This dude is a known liar. Research the situation before speaking on things you don’t know.
@@robertbickers2481how is he a known liar? I’ve been following him for a while and have listened to most of his interviews. Are you saying he wasn’t a sniper? Or some of the stories he says are lies?
Hope they don't learn the ballistic of a .50cal from him and believe him especially when he says it can rip a man's arm off even though it misses through wind drag or sonic boom or however he meant it!
Dude said “it could turn out like jfk” and look what happened 🤯
Lol I was just telling my apprentice this same thing
That trait he is talking about pretty accurate. I have met 2 different snipers and both happen to be super chill surfers.
I used to smoke with a guy b4 I joined and he was a 160th SOG Sniper. Skinny ass white pot head that was catching bodies in Iraq while I was struggling to wake up for school. Dude would get drunk and show us some fuucked up pictures of bodies he made cold
The fact he said trump was the best president he served under is an eye opener to say the least.
He's misinformed about who gave veterans the option for Community Care. There is no eye opener at all. He simply got it wrong
@@DH-xs6mi trump signed the MISSION act which gave it to them
@@DH-xs6mi Okay understood. So who did “give” the veterans that ? Did Obama initially do it and then Trump took credit for it?
@watsongono3689 Yes. Obama signed the act in his 2nd term. Of course government work is slow work, so it became widely available during trump's term, and he pretended that he did it.
It’s more than that. Most veterans don’t care about politics as a whole… it’s more about who’s doing for the military at the moment all the way around. Not a Trump fan, but I get it.
Thank you for your service. My father served in the army. Again, thank you.
On gah
Your father not you pansey
War is the biggest scam ever it's only for profit the more war the more the military industrial complex profits can you ever think of a time where the United States was never at war really think about it we pretend like we're giving people freedom but we only go to work to pillage their resources the Chinese have figured out how to do it smart take out a bridge in Baltimore take off food supply factories attack our trains the other Chinese are taking over and we're too stupid and fat to even care why are there somany immigrants coming here to destabilize our country our government is for sale if you had enough money you could pay a politician so everybody has to ride bikes over the next 10 years this is not a country this is a business and we are doomed
I can listen to this guy talk all day. Very interesting takes- he’s humble and truthful. He had a bird eye view of how corrupt government is.
22:00 crazy how this has turned out..
Just think the same thing looking for this comment
Exactly!
For real take note
Everything he says is going to happen always does happen so when he speaks on future events I tend to believe him , which sucks because what he is predicting is not great news.
Finally Been waiting the whole week for this
On gah
He's one of my favorite guests..if not my favorite..very articulate and forthcoming about his past
Top tier interview!
On gah
This man is such a thoughtful and well spoken person. It’s shocking at times how candid and honest he is about his experiences, the regrets, the struggles he’s had afterwards, but also how he can admit that he feels his service didn’t make a difference. After all that I imagine it would be tough for a person to continue living without some sense of deeper spiritual purpose and awareness. Repentance you may call it. I know his son is a major part of it but I would love to hear more about his spiritual practices and how he finds the strength to move forward
This guy is a legend man I'm glad that Shawn gave him his flowers in the start of this interview.
If you think what he’s saying is gruesome, imagine what he’s not willing to say.
Has he ever said “I don’t wanna answer that”?
He doesn’t have to explicitly say that for you to know there are things he’s not willing to share… whether it’s due to it being too gruesome, classified, or just not something he’d like to remind himself of.
The CIA N SAUDI part was deep!
Yeah he had to watch his words and bite his tongue alot too lol... wonder why?
@@CharlesPetty-mt9qt I don’t. Know but it was a great watch he’s an interesting guy
@@CharlesPetty-mt9qtbecause there’s stuff you learn you can talk about and you can’t talk about. Some stuff is out there somewhere you just need to look for it. Everything he said is public knowledge it’s just not known public knowledge. These people aren’t gonna risk their safe place in life to inform a few conspiracy theorists.
Well done prez! Man this convo could’ve gone on for another few hours…this bother dropped so many gems from a genuine place, and you gave him the space to express himself. As a listener, I appreciate that. And thank you, Mr. Irving, for your service
Thanks Prez great interview as always. Much better then vlad garbage interviews talking about himself and how his storiess relate to everything
Best interviewer Vlad ever Had ever
I agree vlads a lil agent-y
On gah
Vlads ego has taken over , he loves to talk about himself too much now
Hands down Sargent Nick a legend, inspiration!
Cause vlad wasn't there chatting and telling the stories instead of listening
Nicholas Irving and Shawn Prez are easily the best interviews on this vlad channel. Bravo to both Irving & Prez. Appreciate cha' both for all of this greatness!
One of the few interviews I hate that they turn into multiple clips
Best interview,,instead of dumb rappers
White guy alert
@@jonesynahmeen9088This is the real John Wick everything ur fav rapper wish he was lmao😂😂😂
@@DewberryJackson sorry, but everyone’s not a robot for the government that worked for a conglomerate that regrets his life decisions and wouldn’t even want his own son to follow in his footsteps. You compared this man’s life to a movie. Yay only exposed your maturity.. or lack there of. My favorite rapper is jay z. A billionaire. A mogul. A trendsetter. See how that blew up in your face? It’s not so funny now is it ,dummmmy
@@jonesynahmeen9088 Your favorite rapper is a masonic puppet controlled by the elites and the same government you are ridiculing this man for 😂 Jay z is the biggest puppet in all of the music industry yea sit down kid 🤣😂

I could really listen to this man talk all day! Very informative.
Me too

That's a myth.
Wow great interview , much respect to Nicholas !
B real! Grew up watching your smoke box interviews and you always managed to out smoke everyone while still asking great questions, it wasn’t until later in my life that I started listening to your music much respect you are dope!
Trump 2024... Making black folk great again!!!!! YOU HEARD!
I personally I was a 13 Fox (Fire Support Specialist) and we have a similar mindset as a sniper. My job was to basically mark targets for air/artillery strikes. Digging in a drawing detailed maps with target distances and descriptions is most of the job. We are basically artillery snipers that instead of pulling triggers we radio shots with bombs. We have to compensate for moving targets, weather, what type of target, what type of weapon we’re calling with. “Steele Rain”
I was 13b for a time and got to cross train with the FOs, I was jealous of what you guys got to do.
No😢8.5😢😢t😢.@@j4mesmcnei1
thank you for your service sir...
1:06:50 i had to go revisit the acorn video after they said this . That video was insane like that cop was high or something. He the biggest coward i ever watched and shouldve been arrested for shooting at unarmed handcuffed suspect after a acorn hit his patrol car . Wtf
18:06 REALLY??? That’s true???
Dats what im saying can he get attacked for telling that ?
@@Bloodyspazz mannn nick better be safe out here he wildin 😭

nick doesnt get the credit he deserves hes the black version of cris kyle
Blacks, Hispanics, Natives should hear this brothers story & NEVER go fight fir a NATION that HATES THEM & THEIR PEOPLE.
Then move.

They called him that
Looks ?
My fav guest hands Dowm btw
Nobody cares about your opinion
What Irving is talking about “dying in state of fear and shock, mouth and eyes wide open. I believe they’re seeing something, not like here in this world”, is explained in Islam very simply. In belief it is when one is confronted by the angel of death. Islam mentions a human will have 1 of 2 reactions… either the soul will be terrified how it’s confronted, OR, the soul will be in a state of pleasant security.
Just food for thought. Don’t matter what you believe in… it’s only right to continue learning and understanding all the knowledge that is available in this world.
This man’s service record is something straight out of a Tom Clancy Novel, his books are up there with the best too, I’ve read them all. Thank you for your service Nick, that’s the face of a true African American superhero! 🫡
Combat has a way of waking you up to see things clearly...👀
I wish I had this man as a friend in my life ! A lot of knowledge at a young age! I’m glad we got soldiers like this in our country
trump did not enact that Veteran's Choice policy. Obama did. It just happened to come into effect during the trump administration.
1:03:11 “Bird Shot, Buck Shot, Bird Shot… then after that, it’s Jamaican up in there… Buckshot, buckshot, buckshot” - Dave Chappelle 😂😂😂
I no I'm not that only one that skipped all 83 clips lmao jus 2 wait for the full interview now I will watch it in full 😂😂 Vlad been clipping us 2 death
I love this guy ! He’s like a national treasure! I love his honesty , I love is individuality, and I love how he is with his family ! He’s been through so much yet his so calm and poise ! Put this guy as head of SS and I bet these stupid mistakes that have been happening all month just dissipate! We need some one who’s stands for freedom and stands with the people, and has. Even through the fire and has maintained their composure and they dignity like Sergeant Irving ! He’s a real American and his story and his ability to prevail through out his story is a sign of strength! HIS-story became HIS-tory !god bless Sergeant Nicolas Irving ,God bless his family and all families , and GOD BLESS AMERICA , my home sweet home !! 🫡🫡✌🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦾👏🏼👏🏼🥹🥹
Nicholas Irving is your version of vlad and boosie 😂😂❤
U mean Shawn* Vlad ain't even doing the interview
My favorite guest and this guy been through hell. Hope he is doing the best he can.
I can tell he's struggling through this interview. Ask him about something other than killing. Give the guy a break. Did you know he's written books? Not one question about his books.
They know that bro lol, from the last interview
@@InfamousAWJ But they know about all the killing too, but that's all they talked about here. They didn't give him a break.
Listening to this after you foreshadowed trumps attempted assassination
Homie dropped some gems in this one.
Not a fan of some of the questioning, but love Nick.
Shawn Prez great interviewer
For a man to sit there and describe killing somebody and talk about all his emotions and still look sad over the situation. That man is truly at peace in his mind. I thank you nick for everything you have done for our country. 💯💯
Nah man as a dad who has seen and been through a lot especially at a young age. Not even close to what this man has gone through i still don’t want my son or daughter to deal with the nightmares and hyper vigilance I deal with every day.
Feel his vibe. Listen to this Man. Marley vibes 100 percent.
Complete opposite personality from Bob Marley. You have the most ignorant statement on this video 100%
I follow Nick he actually is a fan of Marley and his beliefs. Thats why he grew locs@eastwood111
I know there's a near impossible chance Nicholas will ever read this, but I just wanted to say thank you man. For sharing all of this, I've seen the previous interview and I've just finished hearing this one. Thank you for being real.
For the longest time I've dreamt of becomming a special forces operator, a designated marksman, a sniper, ever since I was little. Deep down I know this desire is thriving off of a part of my ego; the desire to seek some kind of fullfilment or glory that is justified by serving a nation. I know that everything you're saying is true. No sane person wants that job, you have to be a little crazy and although I believe I am that person, I'm glad to tell you that you've sucessfully steered me away from that desire.
I am a 21 year old kid, while I know that people my age might claim to be adults, I know that i'm just a kid with no life experience. I've gone to college and studied "Commerce Economics & Entrepreneurship." Yet that desire of becomming a sniper had always stayed with me. The only reason why I haven't persued "the dream" earlier is because my parents never wanted it for me and would never let me.
And now that i'm older, recently I had again been contemplating to STILL give it a shot, go to bootcamp and all of that. But hearing the truth from you made me finally realize that this is all garbage. Wars are nothing more than cover ups for political figured to launder money. Kids like me who are crazy enough to kill someone in the name of serving a nation are sent to feed off of their egos, while in reality nothing is accomplished during that time of war, possibly comming back scarred for life or not at all.
Killing is killing, no matter how you look at it, and the real ones like you admit to it. The realization and regret that sets in and dictates the rest of your life, it sucks that you had to go through that brother. But I want you to know that you saved a soul by enduring all that and sharing your stories to the public. You prevented me from making a horrible decision that would've changed my life forever; I've officially given up on chasing that deceptive dream.
I watch all his interviews but this one here is🔥🔥🔥
“We’re long past the days of worrying about the border, and now we’re just waiting on the consequences”
you are so right
Get this man on Joe Rogan’s podcast, so that he can be properly interviewed.
He obviously doesn't fw Rogan
@@mentlincyou don't know him lol
@black_snake_moan27 😂😂😂😂
is this for real? Source? which interview did he say this?? @black_snake_moan27
Rogan doesn’t need any more liars on his show.
Great interviewer he needs his own podcast 💯
best duo in a interview on vladtv
I lost respect for this channel. Dude is laughing after Nicholas says the lady behind him got shot and the baby came out. Nothing funny about that situation.
It’s a cope you think this is easy my guy. That was a cope laugh man
To hear two very successful black men discuss Donald Trump without any bias is one of those things that gives me hope for the world. Even if they think or thought he was a huge racist i genuinely believe they think that because of their own observation and experience, not because the media shoves it down their throat. The same way that when I'm talking to an older white guy and they have a genuine, deep admiration for Muhammad Ali or Michael Jordan not just the athlete but the men themselves, and you can't tell by the love they have that they are a free thinker and not concerned with race. That's how i feel with these two. They see race, they recognize everything that goes on, but they dont wake up hating anyone, even if it's justified. That's the kind of person i strive to be. I legitimately try to be the change i want to see in the world. Its dumb but i will wait twice as long as i should to hold the door for a black guy or a family because i feel like man....i know people have done yall wrong and i just want to send the message that this young white guy resoects you bro. Theres nothing I'm too good to do for you and the world may be at war but if you wake up every day trying to be a good person and take care of the people around you idgaf what color you are, you're my type of guy and i want to see you win. Idc if I'm broke man i wanna see you with a million dollars and a bunch of property. These are two men you can trust. No one is manipulating them so however they feel about someone if it differs from me I'm not going to look at them and think....dumbass. If their opinion is different than mine I'm going to look around and say, what am I missing? If Nick says this dude is prejudice and I don't see it... maybe i need to be looking harder. Man if i gotta climb into a fox hole, you bet your ass I wanna do it with men like this.
Jesus is Lord
Y’all was spot on with the jfk statement
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Man this was a great insightful interview…. So so glad vlad didn’t interview him … vlad will turn a great interview to trash
There’s certain things you hear in life that change the way you see things forever afterwards. This is one of those things.
18:45 Vlad: "he's having the worst month ever" Nicholas: "I know right, I couldn't imagine" 😈
i watched my dad die. He was a badass CAF 2RCR sniper veteran and we made the most of it with dark humor and he made it easier for the whole family by being brave. i cant say what was going through his mind at that exact moment, but, he expressed zero fear
He probably embraced death a couple times and considered his time after retiring as bonus time. Most likely actually had no fear of going.
@@slice6027 that's exactly right. He was laughing to himself in the hospital after they gave him chemotherapy and I was like "wtf are you laughing about?" and he said "I was supposed to be dead by 30", he was 61 lol
@@davidoftheforest Yeah I know a couple people like that, doesn't surprise me. People with that mentality are warriors.
Respect, all day!
This guys stories are on point!! Coming from a veteran that served
This guys nickname is the reaper of death… this dude is as badass as they come. You’d never assume he’s the most dangerous person in any room he’s in because of his humble and soft spoken tone
It’s the “Angel of Death” his team was called Team Reaper
The JFK comment 😱🤯😳
This is incredibly important for Nicholas Irving to document and share his historical experiences! His articulate memories paint pictures of horrific encounters that are mind-blowing! Thank You, Sir! You're a great patriot!
"JFK"😬😬😬 LOOK WHAT RECENTLY HAPPENED TO TRUMP🧐🧐🧐
I could listen to this guy talk for hours
Man… those last 5 minutes drives it all home! … replayed that several times over..
The chaplain comment was COLD sheesh
When he said that dead people look like they are seeing pass you so true eyes be like glossy
i hope 50 or somebody makes a movie or show about him and his story, would be insane
Cool guest. Just starting. I hope the conversation touches on all the conflicts we're engaged in around the world, and mercenaries; it seems like an endless war, anywhere we want. And the difference between our mercenaries and our regular military is sort of mysterious to me, although I know since 9-11 we have embraced mercenaries to serve in rolls that aren't suitable? for our regular military. It's crazy to me but the guest should have a great perspective on this stuff. Take it from the man.
Guest seems like a really sweet, thoughtful person. Trump seems like a spoiled rich child, has been since I first became aware of him in the 90's (bragging about the 'quality' of the women he gets), but it's interesting to view him as the outsider fighting for truth, and a lot of smart people now hold this position. The funny thing to me is that Trump, demonstrably horrible, is becoming the option for people who are serious about the truth.
Excellent content. This guest is really helps us understand how this stuff goes down.
1:13:00 Guest says "What makes a good mother is what makes a good sniper" It's that motherly trait, he says. Damn yo! Thank you for bringing it hard.
My uncle served in the marines as a sniper and at first I wanted to learn we used to go shooting and he did tours and seeing him be shell shocked ig is what it’s called deterred me from wanting to go and listening to him talk made me happy with the choice I made and I appreciate your service and openness about it
This aged well. About Trump and being a target and the election itself. Just amazing interview.
I been knowing about Nicholas Irving since he was on Demolition ranch. This is a damn good interview
"Could turn out like JFK, easily" - Dude knew the machine was going to try the out Trump, damn.
I give bro the utmost respect 💯
Thankyou for your service, especially after watching this my respect for those that sacrificed for this land is an unending growth💯🙂↕️👍🏾
This man is a legend and a patriot, he gave his all to his country, he's a soldier, a man and a father,there's plenty of depth there... should've kept it to that instead of the unnecessary politics.
Why would you his take on politics unnecessary, its part of him too.
Something also never talked about on the battlefield- so many dying men call out for their Mom's.
I'm so glad he didn't wear glasses in this interview otherwise we wouldn't be able to tell the two apart lol
Damn! That baby story crazy!
LOVE this guy!! 😎❤️💯
Rewatching this really hits different now that the Trump assassination attempt happened
Great interview!!! He's always so open and informative about military life and experience!!!
Why are you still speaking like a government bot?...
Veterans love the Don Trump every one else can’t understand why ppl vote for Trump
This is the best interview on this entire channel. Nick Irving is such great guest and a bad ass dude 🫡 ✊
