  • Logan Paul let me explain why I think you're a douche bag. You have no idea where someone else has been.
    I read all your comments, believe it or not. To every single person who subscribes and leaves a comment: Thank you. I thank each and every single one of you for your support and attention. We're gonna change the world.

    Rah Meyer. I also swallowed the barrel of my 9mm last year. Same thing happened to me sir, It was loaded and had a round chambered but experience a failure to fire. I have the bullet on a necklace now as a reminder that I can NEVER go back. I am with you Brother and if you ever need anything, I am here for you and all my brothers and sisters. I don't know if you'll see this but I wanted to share with you so those reading the comments know they aren't alone and can reach out to someone if needed. Semper Fi Brother.

    First I'd like to say Semper Fi brother, i also am a Marine who probably did to many deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. All in total 5 combat deployments 2 in Iraq and 3 in Afghanistan, someone asked me why did you keep going back......and i told him the honest to God truth. I told him that being there was the only place i felt normal. I got out of the Corp in 2013 i had been wounded on several separate occasions, i thought that i would have no problems......i would tell myself i don't see how it could be worse than being in combat. I was wrong i ended up being diagnosed with PTSD and Treatment Resistant Depression and brother i struggled hard. Then one evening i just fell apart i had simply lost the will to live, thinking of all the friends i had lost and how much i had sacrificed. I found myself sitting on a bench in the small Northwestern Pennsylvania town i live outside of, just sitting on this bench with my 45 in hand loaded with 1 in the pipe. I started to put the gun in my mouth when out of nowhere this woman comes up and just sat down beside me. I knew i couldn't blow my brains out with her sitting there so i put the gun down beside me and just sat there waiting for her to leave so i could end it all. She looked at me and just started talking to me i couldn't fucken believe it. She sat there all night with me just talking and in the morning she even took me to the VA Hospital to get the help i desperately needed. It all comes down to a woman i didn't even know saving my life. Since then i decided to live my life for this simple purpose and that is, that we owe it to all the one's who didn't come back to live the lives they cannot. Stay strong brother Semper Fi God bless and God speed to you and your family.

    @ScottWaa Před 6 lety +49

    Logan Paul and people like him should be shut out. Let sponsors know that we won't back them because they back trash.
    That's a hell of a story, something that not everyone can share. There are a lot of people that will listen, but change begins within us. There are enough people that will listen. You're right, things will get better.

    here after your Rogan podcast. thank you for your story. thank you for speaking it out loud,; thank you for educating others on experiences we cannot understand (unless we were in your shoes) i hope you continue to heal and this affects you less and less as you go through life.
    however,; your exposure is a positive light in a negative topic.
    the logan paul topic i won’t touch on as it doesn’t bear any more attention that it already got.
    p.s. i heard what you said about living to be the best father for your children,; and i found that to be so incredibly brave and admirable.

    I saw you first, a few days ago, on Joe Rogans Podcast. I have since watched your videos with Tim Kennedy(who I'm also a fan of) and Jocko. But I have to say this one hit real close to home for me... the struggle can be so real sometimes (addiction, depression, anxiety). But you said it best, "one day, at a time" I just wanted to drop a line and say thank you man. Thanks for keeping it real and not sugar coating shit. Thanks for your service. Life is hard af, but we have so much to be thankful for... I have got to keep that as a constant reminder, when times are tough. - Much Respect brother

    I just want to thank you for the sacrifices you have made in the past and for putting this video up. I finally watched it and it really hit home for me. I am 55 and have been disabled for the past 10 years. At first my goal was to see my kids graduate high school and then college. Our youngest one finished in May of this past year. I currently don't have a specific goal set for me on what I am living for and I have been feeling the same emotions you described. I have actually developed a plan on how to end things and make it look accidental. After watching your video tonight, you made me realize I am not alone in my emotions. Thanks for putting it out there and for giving me the knowledge that even the strongest and baddest people struggle with similar stuff. Good luck with your struggle and thanks again for all you have done for all of us!
