It might be the brain trauma (CTE) instead of PTSD. Firing High caliber rifle is enough to start destroying the brain and cause CTE. Let alone blowing up charges or using mortars
They do, but it can’t be forced on them, they need to ask for it. They make sure everyone knows help is available. Honestly, too many of them don’t get help cause they don’t wanna lose 2nd amend
The V.A is SUCH a joke. I know guys who saw no action and claimed they got they booty touched while in service and are on 90% payout. I knew a guy who for a fee could deliver other vets 100% payout , but he'd take money the first 3 years. It was wild. Saw docs prescribe pills then cut them off . All sorts of wild shit. I'm nit even a vet and I saw all these shitty situations just from friends who served.
@@olesmokey394 you are welcome to your hypothesis... to die is to gain when you have a real goal and purpose... not just sniping random people because a random supervisor tells you, for $35,000 a year. not how real life HAS to work. Shalom
Such a surprisingly common myth is that all people who are suicidal hide it and won't tell anyone. This leads to people assume that those who reach out for help aren't "really suicidal" which is so incredibly damaging.
I think it's we don't want to be labeled or looked at crazy so we just never say anything is why I never did and sad a person feels that way around the only people that know them best family and friends...nobody can understand what pushes a person to that point unless ur that person is what I've learned so many things that can make a person do that...before I got to that point I said I would never...but when I was there I said damn I see how
His testimony is amazing, def the best interview out. It’s a breath of fresh air with this interview instead of the normal degenerate rappers. Sincere thank you to our military for your service!!
I was paralyzed from anxiety, also called Functional Neurological Disorder i was as down as i could be, end of last year i was officially back walking and feeling better. When your down you never think it’s a way up but GOD does it every time🙏🙏 my testimony
This brother is definitely a motivation I was going through extremely psychosis and when I heard how he he got through seal training I got this sudden energy and I felt like my psychosis was my training and it wasn't as bad, in my eyes hearing his story saved my life
Brother, the darkest nights lead to brightest dawns. Do your best to know fix temporary problems with permanent solutions. You can change everything and anything about yourself given enough time and enough forgiveness. Do you best. I love ya and I don't know ya, I've been there before and I still have more living and loving to do. Plus this new call of duty is sweet.
Damn I’ve watched every one of these clips from him and this the first time I’ve heard his voice crack. Respect bro. Glad to see my man is still a human being.
Same here, I watched some 2 or 3 times and looking forward to the next one everyday, I'm really waiting for the entire interview to be released to watch it again. The guy that's interviewing him has done a great job with his questions
This guy is so humble, considering all he has done, surviving some of the hardest physical and mental training, the number of kills he has under his belt, and the struggles to re-adapt to living in society, to say he hasn't lived enough shows a level of humility that is astounding. Thank you, Nick, for having the courage to tell your story in such a brutally honest way. When he speaks I listen because he shook the hand of death, and what he is saying is backed by the toughest kind of experience.
We’ve all felt the feeling, he’s owning and describing his experience to guide others through the hard times he’s been through. This is what life is all about, each one teach one.
Amazing interview. I was at fort sill Oklahoma as an instructor. Off my last deployment 9 months earlier. One of my low points -putting a 45 in my mouth and my ex wife walking into the room and talking me off the ledge. I didn’t realize how much I was devastated and how much it impacted her either as it came up in my divorce and custody battle. Whoever watches this interview and reads my comment it isn’t worth it you can be great years later -you hit rock bottom, you’re at your lowest point- shit you got nowhere to go but up.
Glad you here man found your interview last night watched it all up to here and went searching for more really appreciate your sacrifices and honesty especially during black history month!❤
At least not when it's more serious interviews like this cuz vlad would spend the whole interview comparing himself to the person in the interview instead of letting them tell there story
Man seeing this guy on other peoples channels and how cool and funny he is as well just what a bad ass soldier he was a d served our nation, I can't even imagine him taking his life and not being around. Stay strong and be happy Nick
When you think you aren’t motivating, you are definitely a motivator whether believe it or not. Thank you for your service sir and thank you for telling your story!!!
I love this guy I wana give him a big hug ❤ I know he’s going to do more great things! You have so much life to live and much more to offer keep going brother
That’s the most unselfish and realistic answer I ever heard he has been through so much and can tell you he don’t have it all figured out but everyone else claims to
Been a fan of Nick for some time now. He’s really one of the more genuine souls out there. I’m glad to see him given such a great interview. This really needs to be one of Vlads more successful videos although it’s all Nicks presence
Man this dude touched my soul with what he saying about motivational stuff. This level of wisdom I've never heard and I've followed a LOT of successful people. He reminds me of Job from the bible with that one. The humility to basically say I'm here and I'm good today but how can I sit here and tell someone else to "get off your ass", "you can do it", when sometimes just keeping themselves from going over the edge in the face of all their trials might be a miracle in itself for some people. When just getting out of bed may be someone's miracle in itself; living by God's grace and taking nothing for granted. You have to have really lived to understand such things 🙏🏾
this combat veteran and american hero is sharing the stories of a lot of military operators. i can relate to so much of his story. awesome interview. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. someone is always paying for it.
Once again, I really appreciate how Prez is conducting this convo…that was a very tough question to ask, but he framed it in a way that didn’t come off as insensitive or crass..”I was my hardest target…” wow
When a video has a warning it just makes me wanna watch it more tbh. The reaper is somebody I look up to seriously, so glad God pulled you through your hard times. Your message is resonating with hundreds out thousands of people. I’m so grateful for your courage and bravery🙏🏼💯🙏🏼
That A.M. F.M. spoke to me and that's so real. Actual motivation and fake motivation it can hit you in either form but it's all motivation so to speak.
Man you can see it in his eyes and facial movements that really messed with his head. I’m glad he’s hear. Anyone reading this I bought his first book and man totally recommend getting it gets really into detail
I respect where Mr. Irving is coming from with the motivation cause one thing I've noticed about Goggins, I think he does what he does because there is a constant need/desire to prove people wrong.
The guy doing the interview need a mainstream journalist job because he's asking the right questions no matter how painful and deep they are, awesome journalist.
I pray for u brother even if you don’t see this I no the struggles hold on bro .357 … I’m still here and so are u we have a purpose and jus like I told myself that’s the cowards way out bro proud of u
Been there. Proud of everything you’ve done dude!!! I look at it as if its that fucked up to get to that point, i wanna see the rest. Like a movie you wanna but dont wanna watch
“The hardest target I ever had to shoot.” PTSD is no joke. Its crazy that the government don’t provide long term metal help for these dudes.
It might be the brain trauma (CTE) instead of PTSD. Firing High caliber rifle is enough to start destroying the brain and cause CTE. Let alone blowing up charges or using mortars
Or give em at least a free 75k a year we too busy givin money to other countries
They actually do.
They do, but it can’t be forced on them, they need to ask for it. They make sure everyone knows help is available. Honestly, too many of them don’t get help cause they don’t wanna lose 2nd amend

That suicide talk affects him deeper than anything else. You could see the sorrow in his face
True
I absolutely felt this… when I lost my brother all my motivation went away. He talking on the realest level of the unseen and unheard.
yet not talking about Jesus who was acquainted with sorrow?
@GDMHification Are you Jesus freaks capable of having even a shred of legitimate empathy?
@@GDMHificationranpitc that is useless sorry

@Kenneth Jones it’s hard man
He’s definitely still here for a purpose. 🙌🏽🙏🏽

To shoot other people he just told you

Hardest target I had to shoot and the only one I really missed. Man that is deep.

Such a surprisingly common myth is that all people who are suicidal hide it and won't tell anyone. This leads to people assume that those who reach out for help aren't "really suicidal" which is so incredibly damaging.

How many innocent people have rappers killed? Why are they degenerates but soldiers who bomb kids aren’t?
I bought his book last week and highly recommend I’m not a book guy either but man his life and career is interesting/inspiring
@@Adubs917 thanks for confirming this! I said I was going get his book last week but I’ve been dragging my feet
Definitely! Best interview on this platform! 💯💯💯
@@Adubs917 didn’t know he had one, I’m goin to check him out! 💯
I was paralyzed from anxiety, also called Functional Neurological Disorder i was as down as i could be, end of last year i was officially back walking and feeling better. When your down you never think it’s a way up but GOD does it every time🙏🙏 my testimony

I’m there now, paralyzed from anxiety that is. I have been for quite sometime.

You like cracked voices, ok.
Nick is an actual definition of a G.
TOP G
No offense to Andrew Tate but Tate don’t want the work with sgt. Irving 💪🏽😈

Exactly !! Not these wannabe tough fools running they mouth

Glads he’s here to tell his story ! 🙏🏾
Glad Is Glad He’s Here To Tell His Story 😂
U glad he talking about killing innocent people. U are the devil 👿
Being a combat veteran myself, I feel all his pain.
We’ve all felt the feeling, he’s owning and describing his experience to guide others through the hard times he’s been through. This is what life is all about, each one teach one.
one of the best interviews i’ve seen. good questions and not interrupting
Man this is so deep shouts out to him and all survivors of s.a glad they’re still here ❤
Amazing interview. I was at fort sill Oklahoma as an instructor. Off my last deployment 9 months earlier.

Dude, this is one of the BEST interviews I've ever seen. This dude is so real.
Glad you here man found your interview last night watched it all up to here and went searching for more really appreciate your sacrifices and honesty especially during black history month!❤
Thank you NICHOLAS IRVING. YOUR SERVICE IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
We don’t even want vlad doing interviews no more 💯
You talking bullshit
Indeed !!
I’ll definitely check out Shawn’s interviews now
At least not when it's more serious interviews like this cuz vlad would spend the whole interview comparing himself to the person in the interview instead of letting them tell there story
Vlad is more on the annoying side of things. Self centered..always gotta prove he hip..shawn jus does his job
Glad finally changed it up a bit!!! One of the best interviews In a while
Damn I felt that, he said he was the hardest target he had to shoot… but this dude is as real as it gets imo just humble and real down to earth
Man seeing this guy on other peoples channels and how cool and funny he is as well just what a bad ass soldier he was a d served our nation, I can't even imagine him taking his life and not being around. Stay strong and be happy Nick

Coldest Interview EVER Salute Young Bruh💪🏾
We need a part 2 Prez ASAP I believe he has plenty more for to put down for us to pick up amazing humble honest dude👍🏽
Your story definitely healed me I'm crying cus I understand everything you saying.
One of my favorite interviews I’ve watched !! Great question asking too
I luv how throughout this interview they both listen each other keenly before answering
Love hearing from Nicholas but thank you Shawn for asking such amazing questions
Dam bro I get straight up motivating off the relatively of your story in facing fears you would be the prime example and epitomy of a humble beast 💪🏾
This interview is incredible!
Love this man he's so honest and real
Real shit.
You need to do more interviews. Personal ones. This is amazing. Night and day vlad bs questions.
Do your thing man. Questions are on point!
Battle, your story helps me for sure
2:29 That smirk afterward, he knows he proved himself against the so-called baddest men whilst not being one himself
Nick's a hero for telling this story. Shawn is a hero for holding it. Vlad is a hero for sharing it.
Well done all around. Thank you.
I loved every minute of this. This helped me and many others
best interview I watched this year so far.
That was a bar , the only target I ever missed and hardest to kill 💪🏽💪🏽
Yeh definitely was
That’s the most unselfish and realistic answer I ever heard he has been through so much and can tell you he don’t have it all figured out but everyone else claims to
I love every single story I hear from this man and I’m glad to have read his book at least one of them
Sean Perez didn’t even know he was going to give it up like this!
Fr I felt him when he said wow a few times.
One guy I would love to meet in person. People of his caliber need to be protected at all cost. I admire him. Deep down I’m sure he’s a good dude.
Shawn prez did a masterful job with this entire interview. Huge kudos !
Been a fan of Nick for some time now. He’s really one of the more genuine souls out there. I’m glad to see him given such a great interview. This really needs to be one of Vlads more successful videos although it’s all Nicks presence

Blessings to this brother powerful words.
Whoa this interview went dark these past 5 videos. It was cool the 1st part with the achievements and etc but now damn shit crazy what war do .
Dont even need glad for this one, this interview has been a banger

@1:45 “It’s the hardest target I ever had to shoot, and the only one I really missed… Thankfully..” 😮
