Quote

Not a Quote You Hear Everyday!

“As we were running low on ammo, my 1st Sgt said ‘If you have a bayonet or a knife get ready, we’re going hand-to-hand if these guys overrun this compound.’ And in my mind I was like ‘y’know what, I’m going to smoke a guy, get his AK and fight with that. And if we go hand-to-hand, Hadj is pretty small. We’re good.'”

Nick Irving: Worst Mission of My Life

https://youtu.be/f8FhrqHHcNQ?si=H8AavymYEq3AG6kn&t=11414

Quite the story, and it was difficult to for him to share. I’m not going to transcribe it, but it entails near death, duty, valor, rescuing teammates and escape. Link is cued up.

Nick on Transitioning Out Challenges

4:02:17 https://youtu.be/f8FhrqHHcNQ

“Like anybody else who’s been through that, alot of self-medication in the wrong way, I struggled alot with alcoholism, it runs deep in my family; depression, and thoughts I wish I didn’t have; not wanting to be here anymore – still got the scars to prove it. I struggled with that for a long time. I just felt empty. Scary times.”
