    Hi there,
    I m a Christian, but I ve just been listening to one of the better "sermons" in my life. About always pushing yourself further to become a little better person, and I especially loved his honesty about the lack of male role models in this world. That s what I want to take from this interview, and be that role model for he younger ones.
    Billy also made me think about me pushing myself a little bit more to become a better, more mindful person for myself.
    I think Jesus would do the same thing during his life and wants me to be like him.

    Many of the observations he made about his early days in the military reminded me of my experiences in the forces too. Great respect for him to turn around his life. The two angels, the good and evil, whispering in opposite ears was something I heard every day during my initial officer training at Cranwell. I was a working class kid rubbing shoulders with lots of middle class recruits and I was very skinny - less than 8 stone when I joined up. I put on 2 stone in 8 months - all muscle. Even now, some forty-two years later, I still think my forces training was the toughest thing I've ever done. I learnt more about myself and my limits then than ever since.

I found guidance from mentors as i went through life, people like Billy says "have been there and done it".. once you've experienced real struggle at a young age reality is well and truly clear.. life's hard, it doesn't care about you.. the only way you get anywhere is buy going for it and rolling with the punches.. the struggle & journey is life.. be humble, work hard, be honest and never give up... this is the manrta I teach my girls.

      Maybe not, would pray for any young person or kid not to be in a similar situation during his unarguably the most important time of his life. I mean stealing shoes during one's childhood, the time a very short period of time, when the kid, the young person, got every right to be loved and supported, and this time was stolen from him and even he is a great character nobody should see people die or his comrades get shot or crippled and I think he has seen more than we can imagine. I have seen a cat run over by a car[it made a very strange soft bang] a few weeks ago and there was something very strange in that cats swollen instantly and bleeding heavily face, there was a question or some sort of disbelieve and sadly this picture is imprinted in my brain for good and I cannot imagine looking into a face of suddenly badly injured friend of your which don't even have time to put together what is happened because the fear, pain, unknown already made him mad and you are looking in his face until he is gone this is too much to digest for a decent guy like Billy is, there must be demons chasing him nonstop and God gives him the strength to keep them away, it is a constant battle just because somebody stole his childhood and didn't gave him a choice just be a happy kid and getting on like we had the chance. Well done Billy just don't give up, you are important to us.

    Can I just recommend a book called “Looking for Trouble” to anyone who is enjoying this interview? I’m only eight minutes in and already I am really struck by all the similarities of upbringing and behaviour between him and the author of that book, General Sir Peter de la Billiere, who was the CO of 22 SAS 72-74, and Director Special Forces 79-83. Everything, the trouble in and out of school, the fierce independence of thought and determination to solve problems, the healthy disrespect for impotent and constraining authority figures with the accompanying respect for those demonstrating practical accomplishments and free will, the love of physical activity and pushing things to the absolute limit and then “a little further”…it’s uncanny how these traits are so inherently ingrained into the kind of person who gravitates towards this life. Fascinating stuff.
