There’s a real pain in Craig’s eye’s, what a man.
Complete respect, big man.
Could not agree more

😊@@wilspu5590
Listening to some of these criminals going on about how dangerous they are and then listening to him is another level, hes trained to kill you from 1.7 miles away and is as humble as it gets
Because real don't brag only fakes brag.
1.54 Miles actual confirmed kill Brian, but point taken budd ;)
There are no comparisons to be made between them (but I get your point)
@@Theoriginalbigbrillo You had to correct him for 0.16 mile? Wasn’t the point of his comment
@@Theoriginalbigbrillo thanks for the correction. I can sleep well now
James, this is your best podcast by a country mile. More guys like this need to be on. The ‘Gangsters’ and hardmen podcasts won’t ever reach the levels of this one. Guy pours his heart and soul into this. So open and brutally honest in how much he loved the army and still does but also with how much he’s hurting, suffering, struggling to cope! Such a great podcast this one!!
Totally agree. This is on another level. I thought it'd be a good one but wow. Brutally deep and honest real life stuff. Inspirational
This guy is a fine example of dedication to the cause. Since 16 y.o. the army moulded him into, almost, perfection in his role and now they won't give him the support that he deserves on Civvy St.
We all get to live one lifetime on this planet and he deserves for the remainder of his life to be as 'normal' as possible.
I truly hope that things work out better for him and his wife and that his business ventures bear fruit moving forwards...
Yeap. Your only glorifying crime in the rest and think your a gangster yourself Probably connected to the HEROINE trade, yeah - you James English.
@@hookedonbass2640 not a fan then?
@@ryanvanderprill3531 massive fan great show.
When he said “ I feel sad, so so sad “ I had genuine tears rolling down my cheeks, stay strong and positive mate, your not vile, your the complete opposite, your an incredible inspiration.
Mr. Harrison is not vile at all. At a spiritual level we all have 4 guardian angels, 2 of whom give encouraging messages, 2 of whom give discouraging messages such as "being vile": they are mood setters. How, why? Our souls are on journeys from involution to evolution: our mindset can sway depending on what we think and what we allow ourselves to believe. Collective prayer will help him..
Yeah
@@tonyallen9213 nothing to do with religion. Pleae chill.
@@tonyallen9213 interesting, where you learn about it?
@@bigkippa9608 what did I say that was religious: in a word....."nothing". You only see what you want to see or believe. Expand your mind.
This guy is an inspiration, our country is failing him.
Our country is now failing us all.
@Nodge Sinisborat Exactly. The 99% are use to fulfil whatever the 1% desire.
You know why? Because our leadership have been infested by the Tribe who are just exploiting us.
This country and this government are a complete waste of space. These men and women go to war for the prime minister and the corrupt government. The government should concentrate on trying to fix this country before going across the world to fix other countries. These brave men and women give there all and risk their lives and what for !!!! To come back home life changing injuries , even dead and what happens when they come back home full of mental health problems and ptsd. The government wash their hands of them.
Interesting opinion! How could they help him more?
I know his misses needs some and has said she downstairs get any!
I think the whole thing is sad. He's such a nice bloke, he deserves happyness
This is some seriously heavy shit.
Massive respect to Craig and his wife.
The fact you sat and listened to Craig's story and never interrupted him is amazing, James. Could hear a few voice cracks in there also, I'm not ashamed to say this brought a tear to my eye.
Thats the best thing about james.. lets his guests tell their story and doesnt interrupt.keeps it simple
‘I don’t like ppl suffering, I’d rather suffer for the’
What a fkin amazing bloke he is, huge respect ❤
The best interviews are the ones that make u feel like your not watching a interview .. fly on the wall, listening in to a deep conversation. Honest, from the heart & real. James once again brilliantly done 👏
Thanks Ellie x
Yeh it’s raw as anything. Straight from the heart.
I'm speechless, an incredible story. The way we treat our veterans is disgusting, these people protect us and when they're broken they've got no one. I hope things get better for Criag and his wife very soon
As a Vietnam vet. (said so you can guess my age) this has to be the hardest testimony I've ever watched. Anyone having gone thru this level of warfare is OWED by his country - BIG TIME! Oh, I pray that there would be someone to get thru to him that Christ died for him and Craig needs to KNOW - deep inside--- God does NOT consider him vile. May God bless Craig's recovery.
You hit the nail on the head Doren. A guy who has served should be at the front of the queue. Sadly the opposite is true in this country.
Thanks for your service my brother
Come across the channel illegally and get put up and paid for...
Hope you’re well Doren
jesus is a control mechanism.
I hope you live forever Craig and become happy again.
No disrespect to any gangsters James has on on but this fella has little moments that scares me 10x more than any of them
It should do
Fair play to you James, you waited and allowed Craig to compose when the conversations got tough. Both played their part with this interview
Thanks billy
Exactly.
It was a 'two-way' street.
I don't know anything about interviewing people, but this seems to be a 'model' interview.
@@JamesEnglish Well done, fella
Heartbreaking to see Craig break down every time. Such a shame that he's been through what he has and there isn't more help out there for him. Such an inspiration!
"I had a week of bliss - it hits you twice as hard the next week" ... I felt that. Followed your story for a while now Craig and I've heard it a number of times in various interviews, even though I know what's coming, I still cry for you big man. Chin up brother x
I cried when he said that because it's so fucking true
More of a man than most of us could ever hope to be. This is powerful
not really. no one forced him to join the army and kill. He's obviously haunted, but it's not surprising as it comes with the territory of killing. I wish him well in dealing with his struggles but he said if a war kicks off again he would be at the front of the queue so why pity him
@@CashFlow287 I never mentioned anything about the army. He’s more of a man than any of us for facing his demons publicly
@@CashFlow287 my question is this why a video where who’d already made your mind up I suspect your already afraid of what he has to say . Does he scare you.
lol
Keyboard comments from some, yes I get the irony of this message. The man, MAN is a hero and been let down, joined the army and I know from experience you get manipulated into things you wouldn’t do. The bigger picture is he did this on orders not personal choice.
So moving to see real people talk about real shit. Not all dolled up and manufactured like a Hollywood film, just real struggle and pain.
It feels inspiring to know that someone so physically strong, worldly and what we consider to be in peak condition and success, can struggle so hard, as much as an average Joe. The blanket of depression doesn't discriminate whether it be me a work from home mother of four trying to do my very best, or a solider trying to do his very best.
It’s takes a massive toll on your mental health. I served in Afghanistan in 2008 & 2009 2nd Battalion Mercian Regiment, under 42 Commando, Herrick 12 & 13. And coming back off tour to civvy life just takes it out of you.
Samantha, the truth is that we're all average Joe's and Josephine's some of whom are blessed with unique talents, to quote the bible 'we all have feet of clay'. pp
@@matty6848 thank you for your service if you aren’t chatting gas x
Our world is a lot safer with people like Craig, he's just got to think of the lives he's saved and that's all.... what a hero...
Take a bow Son a true hero who carries so much pain sadly... Hope you find some calm in your life
Can't believe he had to leave the UK.. Our government sold him down the river.......
I know that’s totally unacceptable. How can you serve your country lie that. Then for that same country to let you down.?
He probably left to protect his family from any potential Al-Qaeda threats
Due to our Dopy MOD Publicly exposing his identity as a serving soldier!!
And was deservedly compensated by them as well !
@@Theoriginalbigbrillo correct Paul👍🏼
This was by far your best podcast, what a bloke, hope he can find some peace
👍🏼
Thank god that people like Craig exist. He’s a genuine gift to our nation. Our world be be a worse place without him. Hero, no other word. Never quit, Craig! I also wouldn’t be here without my dog.
My mental health stops me sleeping 🛌 so when Im struggling I put on podcasts just like this one n go to sleep to listen to people explain there problems that then helps me understand mine more. This man deserves the up most respect ✊🏼 💙 half the stuff this man says hits home! About being sad n not seeing an end to it, this is one of the best podcasts I’ve watched!
You have my respect,stay strong hope things get better for u,sending u a prayer brother 🙏👍💪💪💪
This guy needs all the support his willing to give such a strong person who’s struggling and needs protecting
100 percent
This man is an absolute living legend, I’ve never seen someone with so much pain in their eyes I feel for him listening to some of this gives me goosebumps
Most emotional podcast yet for me , "not being able to be happy" , "wearing the mask" I can relate too. Incredible story , true inspiration of a man ... God bless you Craig ❤
❤️
Watched the whole interview and it felt like 10 minutes had passed. What an inspiration. Really hope he finds help and that the British army can start to help their veterans because it’s people like Mr Harrison that are truly selfless and deserve all the help in the world
I was a former member of the Det and have recently been diagnosed with PTSD. I fully understand the struggle. Tremendous respect Craig for sharing your feelings online. It took me years just to seek help. Your not alone brother.
Hope your well fisher of men
Keep fighting bud had a good friend there, what you did deserves the utmost respect. This made me think back allot and I missed it but there is always a sacrifice in our game
Seen this legend on the lad bible interview. One of the most egoless people I have heard talk. Power to him, if I could even be half as honest and up front about the stuff that is deep down in me..I'd be a proud man. He really puts thing's in perspective for me. Nice work James
He's different breed. Nothing but respect to him and his kin.
This is my favourite one,what a story. What a guy. What a soldier.
This one was somewhere between an interview and a therapy session.
Good job James it must be hard to find a way to respond to some of these tough topics.
The guy is a legend who needs some serious help and I hope he can find some well deserved peace
👍🏼
It's an absolute Shambles how he has been let down with the support he needs by the army and government. He is a proper bloke and I hope he can get to a place in future where he is happy and content. If there is a place I can donate towards his therapy I will happily give something back for the service he has given for our country and I'm sure many more would also contribute
I would too.
How would or could you start such a thing?
Powerful interview and a good insite into the darkness 0f PTSD .
The honesty of the pain n trauma that's still present.
Craig you are a hero to us "civvies in the UK" and it is a criminal shame the way the army and government have treated you. I wish you all the best and hope you do find peace in this life.
Let’s start a gofund me to pay for this hero’s therapy. Taking that financial pressure off is the least we can do
Let’s do it
I hope he has a good therapist and not one of these bullshit woke ones who think masculinity is toxic. Masculinity like his is a necessary good.
@@porlawright Great comment 👍
Wow... I am 50 years old and have never ever seen such a brilliant interview.
Craig, you are a Fantastic person. I was actually proud of you and never met you.
The fact that your have come onto an interview and spoken about your inner struggles, shows what a character you have, James is right. Your face lights up talking about looking out for your lads, also Tanya, she sounds like a real Gem.
I have sat again watching this with total admiration. At times I laughed but others I had tears rolling down my face.
My Gran wrote a poem for me when I had troubles, one line still sticks with me, "remember the sunshine will always follow the rain."
Take care of yourself mate and that Wonderful wife of yours.
I’ve been sat here typing and then deleting for 30 minutes and I still cannot find the words to describe how powerful this is. Craig you are a hero and like all vets you deserve a million times more from this country than your getting. Thank you for all you’ve done.
This was an incredible pod! 23 years of dedication to be thrown under the bus after…absolutely vile! Too many vets take there life after retirement! Craig is a special character and I wish him all the best on his recovery 🙌🏼🙏🏻
Correct my friend. These poor men and women just get dumped with no help or guidance whatsoever and it’s a disgrace but this country is a complete fraud along with our so called government. Destroying this country from the inside out.
i would give all i have for that man to get his peace of mind back and i pray that is what will happen one day, you sir are a hero and i thank you for your service.
Never ever have I been so choked up listening to a podcast, This guy is a hero in every sense of the word, someone that has been through so much and all he wants to do is help other people and stop their suffering. I honestly hope you find peace and go on to be happy sir. You are truly inspirational (as is your wife)
These are the men that protect our country and we should be doing everything we can to help them, genuinely saddened me this humble guy suffers so much 💔💔 I hope you find happiness mate
What a gentle soul, he does not deserve these demons. what a guy stay strong Craig. love ya mate.
I'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face. I can't believe what he's been through. Craig you do deserve to be happy. You deserve a life. You deserve so much more help than you've been given. You've probably helped so many people with this interview. I don't even know you and my heart has so much love for you. I wish you the very, very best because you most certainly deserve it ❤
Craig Harrison is a true hero, his story needs to be told. The army need to do more for men like him when they leave the forces.
Relayed the living with PTSD perfectly. Everyday you wake up, you get up your a winner. Most people glamorise war and their part in it but this man tells it like it is.
Best podcast ever.
How could anyone dislike this, this was was as pure as you can get when listening to someone talk about the crazy life he once lived fighting for his country, nothing but respect to the fella 🇬🇧👌❤️
What struck me is, that, like many veterans Craig Harrison realises that he wasn't really fighting for his country, more for corporate interests - This can only add to his issues with PTSD and depression. The truth is that we fail our veterans starting with the British Legion who're raking in cash but still do little for our homeless soldiers, Marines, Air and Sea men. I'll NEVER buy or wear another poppy again, but this won't stop me supporting you guys.
Absolutely spot on what you said and i agree with you 👍
I’m ex 3 Para but I never went to war or saw any combat due to me getting injured on a parachute jump way back in 95. A friend of mine was in the Royal Marines did 12 years then went security in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 he to got blown up 15 feet in the air in a well built security vehicle 🚗 and landed on upside down on the roof. He was never the same and he committed suicide in April of 2019. ( RIP Tony Sutcliffe ) gone but never forgotten. 💪 ♥️
God bless
What do u expect from killing innocent? I pray u never find peace
@@sadiyahjahan3652you building a life on hating opposition will be your arrogant downfall
This guy is such a nice bloke, legend for what he did in Afghanistan, i feel so sorry for the damage its done to him though, i hope things get better for him given time.
One of the finest interviews I've ever listened to. The interviewer for me is perfect interviewer enough talk to get Craig talking, but little enough to let the interview flow perfectly. Craig though…what a guy, one of those guys that you would just love to sit to listen to.
I never knew I had depression until I watched this and just wanna thanks James and Craig it was a real eye opener
This was hands down the best podcast I’ve ever seen! Totally gripping from start to end, respect, love and prayers to Craig 🙏❤️ Keep pushing forward brother xx
❤️
That is the best most honest podcast you've ever done, love to have a pint with Craig, it does my head in to see special people like him suffering. I hope things get better for him asap.
What a bloke...fuckin inspiring...I did Kosovo and Sierra Leone ...count myself lucky I came out the Army not damaged by ptsd....keep going Craig💂♂️🇬🇧
That man is the definition of power and strength
It's hard to listen to Craig without feeling a gut wrenching empathy for him, fuming that he hasn't received more help from the govt. I wish there was something I could do to relieve his suffering, massive respect and love to you mate.
Wow wat a guy the gangsters and hardman are nothing compared to this man
Best interview I’ve watched. Gripping throughout and what a bloke, tough as nails but also so emotional. Fantastic watch.
This has to be the most heart felt genuine interviews I’ve ever seen ! I’ve suffered with depression , for different reasons and the black duvet is spot on! The level of kindness and concern of others above his own struggles is just inspirational! What a truly incredible man! Thank you for your service Craig . Wishing you all the best with your new business and any struggles in the future. God bless you sir.🙏🏻
My dad has this from conflict, I love him to bits, it’s not easy though to see him so broken. My son is serving atm. My son has not been in conflict. He sort of disowned my dad & me. 💔 My dad has got advanced prostrate cancer he’s dying. He’s a mechanical engineer by trade & apparently all the chemicals cause this kind of cancer.
I won’t never moan about getting up for work again and thinking I’m stressed this guy is a inspiration heartbreaking that he ain’t getting the help
I have watched a lot of podcasts but this is one of the most heartfelt things I have ever had to watch , no1 should have to go through this ! Glad your still here Craig , keep going brother , a day is a day 👍
Brilliant interview James. What amazing person Craig is. He deserves all the support and respect in the world. I cried when he got emotional. All the best to him.
What an incredible story he has..I really hope Craig finds the peace that he is looking for....I wish him well...I'm sure we all do
Another great interview, the pain and trauma that guy is suffering by serving his his country is really sobering. A true hero!!!!!!
His plea on contemplating suicide is heart wrenching yet a story untold by many. Craig's story is hauntingly beautiful. What an inspiration.
Hands down the best interview you have done James and thank you for bringing it too us. Raw passion and emotion from Craig. Hes a absolute legend
What a guy! Humbled by his story’s ,truly incredible. Cried with him on this , stay strong. James another top interview, best in the game.
WOW!The most powerful interview I’ve ever seen on the James English Channel, James stuttering chocking up and speechless. What a remarkable man Craig is hope he can overcome the demons and get his head right mental health issues are the worst.
What a powerful interview.... I normally have these on at work and listen whilst working, I got f all done on this one. Just sat back and took it all in... powerful story, powerful man. Great podcast, James and sincerely wish you all the best for the future, Craig.
What a bloke! Heart wrenching to see a man like him in so much mental pain!
Keep smashing it Craig your a hero!
This man is an inspiration and you can literally see the torture in his eyes when he talks. The way he talks is very intense and scary, especially when he pauses and tears up. But at the same time he is also very inspirational and deserves happiness.
Made me emotional myself the stuff he’s is going through hope he finds peace in life soon 🙏 God bless you Craig
i am fairly new to podcasts but this man has some great guests. The country owes Craig a huge amount of gratitude. To see somebody so humble is amazing. Part 2 needed
You could almost sense the pain that Craig has been through
What a story I’ve always been fascinated by soldiers stories and this one was brilliant the lad Bible clip was good but this was even better
Big up to you Craig and big up to you once again James
Absolutely brilliant. Amazing gentleman. So lovely that he's got a strong, loving and supportive wife. Your style of interviewing is an absolute pleasure to watch James. Thank you 😊👍
This is brilliant, what a legend, keep up the good work and be proud of everything you have achieved. This guy is the real deal, the world needs more Craig Harrisons.
I’ve commented a few times about how good your podcasts are but this is the best yet , I’ve led a very hard life and was brought up in care homes from being a week old and never felt love from anyone until meeting my wife and then having children , I learnt from a very young age that ( in my case ) if you cried or showed pain they hurt you even more so I never did , but all the way through this interview I had a lump in my throat and tears running down my cheeks , I just wanted to reach out and put my arms around him , such a humble man I would love to meet this guy , great work James
What an amazing guy, highly let down by the army and the country. Love you big man💙🙏
Wow, this is up there with the best James. Captivating viewing, this man is something special. So mild mannered but you can see the steel just by the eye contact. Real life struggles & pain. The part where he said he left with 16 & came back with 6 has to hit people deep inside & make you realise just what kind of stuff these soldiers see on a daily basis and then to be cast aside like a piece of used chewing gum back into the “real world” once they have served their time. He maybe doesn’t realise it as often as he should but i hope he takes timeout every so offen to reflect on all the lives he has saved & all the soldiers making their way that he helped pave the path for them. A true HERO! Rest up Craig & keep well x
Craig, you don't realise how much you're helping people you will never meet. You have purpose, and you may never realise it but your strength gives others strength.
That interview was off the scale. Brutally honest, deep, almost lost for words as how to describe it. Not many things bring a lump to my throat but that… just wow.
What a man. Keep fighting big fella. Such an inspiration
Craig is such a icon, much respect to that man. Another great one James, all the best brother. 👊🇺🇲🗽🏴🗽🏴👊
What a guy brings a tear to the eye knowing such a good guy served his country now just left to suffer absolutely gutting
Thanks for your service big man
Hope you get the help you deserve
It's a reminder that joining the army may give you great mates and that's what they all say.....but you will be dumped by the army itself, as soon as you are of no further use, as they see it.
They should use people like this to help other soldiers. The only ones that can truly u nderstand.
Just incredible. For that big man to come on be so open about depression an his struggles, really hit me hard,no ashamed to say a tear was shed,there are different levels of depression,but the only only one that truly matters is the personal level you may be going through.
Huge respect,and to agree with another comment I saw,this one is the best by a country mile 👏
Craig, I can relate to things you have said re depression, feeling sad, suicidal etc, yet have not been through or seen anything on the scale you have witnessed.
Right near the end when you mentioned that you hate seeing people struggling and want to take that away as you hate seeing people suffering, I truly get that.
Just walking amongst people you can feel their very pain without words being spoken.
I salute you and Tanya, you both have amazing strength and not forgetting Betsy.
Thank you for such a raw and vulnerable glimpse into your life. My tears were flowing.
Many blessings, stay strong and hold your head high. x
The best podcast I've ever watched. U could tell it was tough for u both. U could feel his pain through ur eyes james. Brilliant podcast. Sad but makes u appreciate ur own life. It aint as bad as u think at times.
I've Read Craig's book
The inspirational is used too much but this man is 👍
I love how honest he is the best way to be
As a ex forces soldier with two operational tours (Op Granby Op Lodestar) under my belt I can relate to Craig.I love being up the hills on my own whilst walking I listened to his book on Audible. Really enjoyed it.This man is a proper warrior.Makes a mockery of the press calling footballers warriors.Craig is a typical example of what makes the British Army the best in the world.
This is why I watch this channel. Best & the most difficult chat I’ve seen you have with anyone. Maybe ever will.
He's eyes have something missing.... He's got 1000 yard stare. God bless him, I hope he fines peace...
I loved watching the re-enactment of it on the history channel - the longest killshot.
What a nice well together man. Thank you for your service. 🏴🇬🇧✌🏼
Craig is an inspiration. Not many share his life journey but a lifetime of sadness is relatable. Such a strong man, physically, mentally and emotionally.
This is the best podcast james craig harrison what hes been through unbelievable amazing
What a brave, brave man. So sad to hear a man so down. He deserves the world. Incredibly moving interview
When Craig said he felt sad so sad it got me, what a man he is great respect for Craig’s honesty and everything he has done for his country.
I suffer with depression it just overwhelms me from nowhere and I sink, I can relate with a lot of what Craig says.
I,Ve just watched the interview and having and still fight depression I was crying. Like Craig I,m a big guy and a ex patch wearing biker and just asking for help is the hardest part but it gets you started. That was the most inspiring interview I have ever watch and the man is a credit to himself. A truely inspiring person who like myself has his battles with the black dog. Yes he and many veterans are completley let down by the country they serves.Please pass on bestrong big man and keep fighting.Your wife Tanya is one hell of a lady mate you certainly landed a keeper there.
This man must be loved and respected at all cost, an absolute hero to his friends and country, his wife sounds like a legend aswell, wish him all the best in the new year.
