Christian Craighead... Listening to this has just made me body shiver remembering that fateful day at Dusit where I happened to be in. A life-changing day I will live to remember. Listening to Chris has just brought closure to know that God does use such to rescue lives. Thank you so much for the courage. You saved 69 of us in my office.

[@LyndaRogers-k3r]

The Peace of the Lord be with you.

The thing I admire about Christian is that he's had so many people put him down, he always rises above the haters!

[@markwhitelaw6264]

I have known this man for over 20 years. I have to seen him, or spoke to him for some time but, folks, believe me when I say that he's the real fucking deal! An absolutely awesome human being. Godspeed, old friend.

[@kenkitson_ap]

"here I am, send me". Wow. brought tears to my eyes. A total warrior for good. I've served in a tier 2 unit, so am not naive to this kind of thing but this guy is total next level. Like he was really sent by God. Doing the right thing just because it's the right thing. What an inspiration this guy is. 🙏

[@kimlouise-rf5rr]

This man, Christian, epitomizes what it is to be a warrior under the motto WHO DARES WINS! I know exactly where I was when the chaos erupted at the hotel. It was loud, chaotic, and the smell of fire was intense. Chris answered a call for help, and his decades of training and instincts kicked in. Chris quite literally ran into the fire with no regard for himself and executed a rescue mission that saved hundreds. We not only owe Chris our lifelong gratitude but also our RESPECT!!! Whatever the behind the scenes were with the military after the fact, I would wonder if anyone in the hierarchy would have had the ball faced courage to step up and do the same. This unassuming British Special Forces Officer displayed for the world to see what it is to do the right thing honorably. THANK YOU, it seems inadequate. THANK YOU, Christian.

What you did that day was a gift and a curse for many. Thanks again for your service..from a fellow Northumbrian who lives in Denmark ❤️

“Wolves are the ones that do things when they need to be done, without orders, off their own back and with total aggression and commitment…and the sheepdogs will do it if they have to, but won’t do it unless the shepherd tells them to do it.” I love this because no one has ever put it like this, we hear a lot about the sheep/wolf/sheepdog thing but not the added nuance of wolves being able to function independently of expectation or influence while fulfilling the role of the sheepdog.

[@1life2risk]

Maybe. I'd like more the comparison to herd protection dogs like Maremma-Abruzzi Shepherd Dog, Owtscharka etc., on the other hand. They are active protectors growing up and living with an for the well being of the herd. Their job is to protect the herd from potential enemies, such as wolves. Their strong protective instinct enables them to work independently, to do things when they need to be done (like the wolves) and they work without direct orders from their handler. I think this strong protective instinct is the the true warroir's instinct.

[@LewisHam-h1z]

Chris is the absolute embodiment of gallantry, resilience & dedication. Give this man a knighthood to go with his Conspicuous Gallantry Cross. Legend is an overused term but CC is the real deal.

[@lindsayheyes925]

This man will be an inspiration to many, just because the cameras were there. But he'd've done it anyway, not because he's extraordinary, but because the moment was extraordinary. His struggle with PTSD is because he would still be ordinary... but for the cameras. Chris, you had the chance to make the world a better place and did so. The Americans have a trite-sounding saying, but I really mean it, and you will know that it's not just for you, but you as representative of those who also serve - but unseen, humble of spirit and caring of heart: "Thank you for your service".

Christian is an amazing example of what can be achieved by not allowing a difficult childhood to define his future negatively. He transmuted those terrible experiences into something positive. He was born to be a warrior. Much respect to him. Great interview.

This is demonstrably untrue. You are talking about a few military leaders Chris has said he wasn't happy with, this is not representative of GB or the British. Following on from that a handful of military leaders isn't representative of how people in GB are treated. Heck it's not even representative of the military, nevermind the political leadership.

If your statement was true about the military he would have never received the gallantry cross from the military for his actions on the day, it’s that simple.

Legend is an understatement, Christian Craighead is a god of war

[@RobertBallou-oc4gh]

First off, the film Who Dares Wins was released in the US as The Final Option. I bought it at a gun show in VHS format when it was released in 1982 along with The Wild Geese. Unfortunately the stars have all passed away, including more recently Lewis Collin’s who played SAS Captain Peter Skellen in WDW/TFO. He was a member of the SAS Territorials (Reserves). I was a “young” fireman when it came out in 1982 and I was excited to see a very loosely telling of the Prince’s Gate op. There’s a newer version which is much closer to the real tale called Six Days. Another factoid: American Army Colonel Charles Beckwith trained with the SAS for a couple of years then came back to the States and formed up our Delta Force as a respectful imitation of the British Unit (as our force has also been nicknamed). I have a first edition copy of his book Delta Force that I also picked in that time frame at a gun show. Well done, Christian Craighead, (or whatever your name is), admirable action in a high pressure time of need. Congrats on your past successes and good fortune in the future. Welcome to Texas, USA, brother. Maybe I’ll see you here in Flint, near Tyler.

What an absolutely wonderul person. His honesy and ability to put away macho bullsh1t is heartwarming. I love his recollection at 19:50s about the trainasium. I have worked at height as a steel errector and used to think that (living in a macho world) that my fear(s) made me weak and unlike the rest.
