War Veterans Open Up On Killings, Death And PTSD | Roundtable | @LADbible

The breathig voice of the paralyzed veteran realy sets the tone of the video.War is hell and needs to be avoided.

Disgusting the lack of support for Craig and I'm sure many many others. Thanks, guys, and if anyone else who reads this is current or ex military, thank you too. Truly incredible people.

The veteran was really together 100years old and having strokes he’s truly intact just imagine him in his prime deffiently one hell of a soldier

Watching Craig assist John in hearing the questions truly touched my heart.

"I'm 100 years old. Bit too old to join up, I think?" A treasure of a man.

The story Liz tells of the guys dropping off their dead comrades and going back into the fight is so powerful

Craig used to hold the world record for the longest confirmed sniper shot. Also the guy who is paralyzed, was in the SBS. The US equivalent is Seal Team 6

8:15 "you would never leave a comrade behind... If you could help it" I may be listening too far into it, but that voice crack there hit me like a punch to the gut.

This is heart breaking. Craig the sniper has the world record for the longest kill shot, the guys a true legend .

Toby, man. That guy nearly made me cry. He had the option to go home, refused and then took what I'm gonna call the "ultimate sacrifice" because his life is forever changed. Yet he is still so humble about it.. This is a true RMC and SBS operator, what an absolute legend, I do really hope his former squadron are looking after him and this is the kind of man I don't mind my tax money going towards helping. I'm sure if his injury was moderate/minor he would have kept on protecting. Legend

12 years of service, I can relate to Craig's predicament, this happened to me too. Betrayal on the highest level, so much for loyalty and integrity, the Australian Defence Force has a lot ot answer for. I am upto 9 people that I served with that have suicided now. Yes I have my traumas and PTSD etc, but I am in an ok place now. I have made peace with what it was.

Sept 14 2008 IED blast I was T1 and thanks to the heli guys and they're guts and dedication I am still here today so thanks to all of you for all the effort I salute you all... PTE W. 252

I'm a vet, and this interview has brought me to tears because it really captures the horrifying reality that war forces on people, no matter which side of civilian or military. Sharing my own memory from 2006, I was stateside and one of my colleagues was deployed to Iraq. Her base sustained mortar fire and killed several troops near her. She contacted me on the military network and asked me to call her family to let them know she was ok, because she couldn't do it herself. I can only imagine how many times that situation has been repeated. War doesn't only affect the individual, it ripples out to their family and friends

I served in the US Army. I did twelve years of active duty with multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Ended up doing a medboard and retiring in 2014 because of injuries during deployments. I can relate with what Craig was saying about feeling abandoned and shunned, once he started seeking treatment. I haven’t spoken to any of my platoon members since I got out because I felt they turned their back on me. I would’ve died for any of them, on any day and came close on a few missions. I was diagnosed with ptsd, night terrors, depression, and a list of other things. After the diagnosis I was placed in a platoon of injured soldiers. When that happened, I felt like the weak soldier the military didn’t want or need. You aren’t included in anything the company does besides motor pool cleanup. I don’t have anyone I can actually call a friend because like they said, civilians just can’t understand what we’ve been through. There is no brotherhood like the one in the military. I miss the military every single day but I love what I do now for work. From one veteran to another, I love y’all 🤙

Craig is a super hero, still being able to say he would rejoin the military even though he has been treated so bad.

Bro Craig really is a lone survivor.. what a sad giant he is. So heart wrenching to see how we treat our veterans across all armies, coutnries and nationalities.

We lose an average of 22 combat veterans here a day in the States. Its a tragedy that seems to have no lasting fix. 😔 Proud of you all for your sacrifice for your country! 🇺🇲🇬🇧

My South African Brother. Your strength knows no bounds my boy ❤️

Ive never served in the military but have a few friends that have. Really felt for Craig when he explained how abandoned he felt. Heart goes out to him and, if he ever reads my comment, I'd simply like to say "thank you for your service and I truly hope you find peace and a purpose - take care fella".

This is the most emotionally moving interview i have ever seen. Craig who doesn't know his purpose now definitely has one. He made me think about things and im sure made many of us rethink our lives.
