I came here to say the same shit.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

One of my guys took a 7.62 on his left trap, went clean thru and canoed his trap muscle, when this happened, he was manning the .50 turret, I was next to him shooting with my rifle, pulled down to reload, and dropped my mag, when I picked it up, that’s when I realized something was wrong, there was a splatter of blood against the plywood wall behind us, (we were engaging from a watch tower) and I asked him to come down so I could examine him, at the time I was a E-6, and he was an E-4, he refused so I had to force him by stating that’s an order, he came down and i couldn’t believe what I was looking at, this man’s shoulder area looked like a V, and he didn’t even realize it, he kept telling me “I’m good to go sarnt I’m good to go”, I had to force him to look at his shirt, it was bright red from the neck to his mid section, and od green from his mid down. I ordered him to go seek med treatment. His adrenaline must have been to the moon. SPC Resto was one of the greatest soldiers I ever led, and to this day I have the honor to have him as a life long friend.

That dude loves the United States of America. It's dudes like this who stand ready in the middle of the night to meet the wolves at the door. A real American badass.

Yeah, but at least to me, his tone sounds as if he's on *extreme EDGE* buy what he's been through, what he seen, felt, heard, smelled, being blown apart & shot multiple times, and of course while telling his stories, I understand completely. I just hope my man, I know will never be able to be 100% "healed" both physically AND mentally, I just hope he can find some type of peace. He has earned multiple lives length of peace. True warrior.

Nick is from my home town! It’s nice to hear that accent. I’m so glad that these men are out there protecting me especially now that I was diagnosed with ALS. I can’t protect myself but these guys help me rest a little easier at night. Thank you guys for your service it’s much needed now more than ever.

Very much doubt that you’d be any less safe or that your life would be affected in any way whatsoever if this guy ceased to exist…. Can also be argued that he and other members of our armed forces have made our lives more at threat by terrorists by giving them fuel for their hate for Americans. More terrorists today than before GWOT (global war on terror) kicked off. (blame would be on our govt, not these fellas tho…)

Can't imagine the strength it takes to be this committed to our country, thankyou.

It's true and you bring up a very good point. But at the same time, he's putting his team at further risk and potentially putting himself in a position that costs more American lives. Look, I'm not trying to be too critical of him because emotions sometimes get the best of all of us, but you can definitely tell the difference between Nick and a tier 1 type operator. The difference being someone that has the ability to completely remove emotional decision making and making training based, tactical decisions based solely on objectives in a manner that is devoid of thinking on a personal level. He put everyone in his vehicle at risk by jumping out of the vehicle and sprinting 250 yards into a complex attack.

@@Danlovestrivium i get what u mean..but sometimes these guys have to improvise..these spec ops guys training gets updated all the time..its not like he panicked..its just that, for him it was his buddies above everything...even Delta guys made some decisions based on emotions and heart...no human can be truly robotic, specially after seeing your buddies get blown up...22 SAS are ABSOLUTELY T1, and theyre trained to improv and make decisions in real life combat..commanding officers can only do so much, and theyre human too

after what hes been through, and being qualified to go back to war with one fucking leg.. keeping that strong mentally, literally eating bullets and taking enemies down like a real hero...yoU can forget about no damn silver star nor the medal of honor.. just at the fact he came back alive ..he deserves more than that, hes above the medal of honor and is a perfect example of it. God was watching over him to keep him alive no matter what the circumstances were..

To all of the men and women out there that willingly sign up and go into all of these horrific soundong type of situations all the time to protect those of us that they dont even know i have nothing but the utmost love and respect for and always will thank god for each and every one of them and there heroism and bravery at all times is truly amazing. Thank you so extremely much to all of you that are still here with us and to all of those that are fallen as well i appreciate you all so so so much and im so grateful to know that all of you are the wonderful and truly inspiring people that you are may god continue to bless and watch over each and every one of you for forever more

Best clip so far

FWIW, Billy Waugh went on leave to Thailand (during VN) while he was on convalescent leave from his wounds, then just went back to a team and was AWOL from Walter Reed. Frank Miller (MOH recipient in VN) was re-assigned to the B team after his severe wounds, and did pretty much the exact thing Nick here did. When he was told to go back to HQ he told them to kick rocks and dared them to give a MOH recipient a court martial. They ended up slipping him a roofy and he woke up on a plane halfway to the US strapped down to a litter.

Very sincerely, thank you for your service, sir.

I was wounded and after partial recovery I was sent to another batallion. That batallion was scheduled to go back in 90 days but I was still an outpatient at home station. As a result I was determined to be "nondeployable" when my new company went through pre-deployment SRC. But they did it by adding a form that said this to my deployment file. I just took it out and threw it away, then handed the file to my SGM. After I missed a few appointments, the docs called my unit and asked what was up. Of course, I was at a FB downrange. I got yelled at a lot, but they let me stay with the team. But I was permanently assigned off a team once I got back to CONUS, until I retired about 2 years later.

that dude is a freaking beast and he talk about it like it was "just another tuesday" I dont know if I could ever be this emotionally strong and compartmentalized.....although I worry that if he doesnt let it out to someone he may go the route of wayyyy too many vets and unalive himself......If you are a Vet and you are reading this, see a therapist, even if you dont need it or even if you dont want people looking at you like your crazy, please see a professional, PTSD can be very very sneaky and many vets will have a first flare up and end their own life before they even know how bad of a problem it is......Please see a professional, you are our heroes and protectors and we want you around

Best thing to do with a wound like that, and I actually had the same wound size on my forearm and used this method which resulted in a completely healed wound in 2 weeks and no scar in a month: pack the wound with huge amounts of Neosporin. It will provide a matrix for skin to build faster while keeping infection out and the wound open. Or make your own ointment out of plantain oil, comfrey, arnica and echinacea extract, sulphur and calendula.

You never felt pain as when they pack a wound like that and to get the packing all the way in with a popsicle stick. When you really feel pain is in the removal, the gauze sticks to the nerve ends.
