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 leave 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.

[@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.

The Englishman I admire the most.

[@user-mk1cz3lm4c]

From the same town, and i know there isnt a single person doesn't think this lad is a true gentleman... Grew up as hard as a council house brick... And deserves the best life he has...

[@ifell3]

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

[@southoc1355]

“The Last time I checked the motto of the SAS is WHO DARES WINS”!!! Best quote EVER!! 🙌🏼 THIS is the type of MAN that deserves to be in a Leadership position!! He gets it!! He doesn’t hesitate and knows how to make a decision instead of talking his way out of the situation! MUCH RESPECT!! 🙌🏼 this guy is a Fkn LEGEND and he’s so humble!!

[@dextermoore278]

Chris is a true HERO AND PATRIOT. He saved these people with God's blessings. Chris saved all those people in Nairobi. He's an amazing, strong, and well trained SOLDIER. A fearless man who does the right thing and who has morals.

[@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.

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.

Chris I’ve heard your story many times and you’re absolutely correct that sometimes the worst that happens is a gift! You’re a gift and a true hero. 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 ❤️

[@DrewThornburg]

The manner in which This man speaks as well as conducts himself with such integrity and thoughtfulness knowing theirs a flame burning inside him but he’s such a statue of humility and class it honestly makes me feel proud just listening to his honesty, he’s the epitome of real courage no grandiose pageantry as he tells his story but rather just real precise professionalism and masculinity

[@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. 🙏

[@Vbus778]

So very brave an a true inspiration to all. This man is living proof of what is possible in anyone in this comment section or community’s.

“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.

How GB treated this man was a preview to how GB is treating people today. America PROUDLY welcomes this HERO as one of our CITIZENS!!!

[@LeeXRV]

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. I'm ex-British military and can tell you, he has widespread support throughout the British military. Can we stop with the the nonesene hyperbole please?

@@aeromtb2468 I know where he lives and why he actually moved. Your original post remains factually incorrect, the statements that follow at best are conjecture. My simple ask is you don’t post inaccurate and untrue statements about my homeland, a couple of senior officials do not represent the British military never-mind the British people. 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.

[@jakhaughton1800]

Christian has confirmed he’s a born again follower of God etc. That’s his decision and no better place to be than America. Just a shame he’s turned his back on the UK.

[@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.

[@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".

Also, as a believer in High Strangeness and the Paranormal, the story he told about meeting the well dressed man the day of the attack tells me he met a white hat entity or messenger/receiver who then relayed his safe blessings from the Source Creator who had placed him at that time and place. His whole life was training for that moment.
