  • 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.

    Man Nicholas is a real life warrior from what you see on movies but he actually lived that lifestyle and I respect everything he had to do fighting for our country just so he can get back home to his family💯 and if you don't like it then move TF around and go watch some else. No point of saying anything negative about a guy like him cause he's truly a badass💪🏾🍻

    I wonder what about that last encounter made him feel like the other was formidable? Was is the moving and tactics, shooting accuracy or was it based on a time frame of the firefight?
