[@brentbradley3804]

By far the hardest one to listen to. You're a man of steel brother. Strong spirit and sense of purpose.

[@sk1ntownsteelers]

The fact this dude has overcome all of this crazy stuff in his life is absolutely a miracle. God bless you sir. This is heart wrenching on so many levels.

[@michaelmaden514]

I’m sorry for your past, I love your story. Respect to you sir. Keep striving, you are doing great.

[@E_4mafioso]

This brother's story deserves more views. What a brave young soul. He deserves nothing but praise and honor.

[@jayb7002]

Wow. I'm not a touchy feely person but his story makes me want to reach back in time and grab that little boy. To protect, hold, and comfort him through the hell he grew up in. I don't know how someone grows up into a normal and reasonable man after going through all that but my god, he did it. Blessings to ya, man.

[@jimbochops]

Oh holy shit, Sgt. Gehle! He was my first team leader in the 82nd, we didn't get along too well back then lol but I'm proud of him for sharing his story, I'll never forget when I found out what he had gone through as a child 2-3 years after we got out - he's a tough dude. I'm glad to hear him sharing his story and see him on here! Fury From the Sky

[@djrodionoff4718]

You’re a warrior for fighting through all this. I don’t think many people could continue on if they’ve been through what you have. You deserve so much love and stability. You’re an amazing man keep on fighting brother.

[@kararodgers2578]

Bro thank u for sharing your story. I know our stories aren't exactly the same but i am a woman from lima/ findlay ohio. I went through the same family domestic situations growing up with two siblings with a single mom. She would physically abuse us as kids. I also was raped and molested by family members then again by people who i thought were friends as teenagers. Listening to your story i was right there with u. Walking that life right beside u for an hour or so. I cried with u. I was scared with u. I felt exactly how u felt as a kid lost on the streets of lima. Life sucked so bad. I never thought i would ever get out of it and in alot of ways i haven't. I respect the fact that u had the strength to turn your life into something i still haven't been able to. I still in alot of ways walk this life alone. As a kid innocent and not knowing to an adult addict knowing but in many ways not being able to do what u have done. I just want to tell u from one lost kid from lima ohio to another... you weren't alone brother and I'm so very very sorry that u went through those things. I've never said things like this on social media but dam to find another person in my hometown that went through so much personal stuff like i did and to c how brave u r so telling your story. I admire u and i thank u. For letting me know that i wasn't alone either. Thank u

[@MultiFunnyman10]

I just can’t help but cry watching this story. This is so fucking awful. No one deserves to go through this. Childhood trauma is just devastating

[@RaptorReplays]

Finally someone that understood what we went thru as kids

[@FORCE_PBC]

This is the most devastating story I’ve ever heard in my fucking life. Am I the only one that jumped out of my seat and screamed “YEEAAHHH YOU PIECE OF SHIT” when he said he died in jail.. I hope it was a fucking horrible death. I have so much to say but I feel like what I offer won’t even scratch the surface on this one. You are the strongest young man and grown man I’ve ever seen. Wow man. Thank god for your strength. God protect this man. He has seen enough for 100 lifetimes.

[@dhousegaming5010]

Wow man.. You are beyond strong brother, im not sure if there's a word to describe how courageous you are for telling your story. Thank you for serving the country i live in regardless of being broken by a person living within it. I'm glad you're here sir.

[@themetaphysicalaxe5506]

Urban Valor, thank you for these videos. I really wish i could convey in words how much i appreciate all of your content.

[@payattention5157]

I woke up out of a nap & his story was playing on my phone & the things he went through at a young age gave me chills but also made me grateful for my own childhood trauma. The saying “it could be worse” just hit home This morning thank you and god bless all 🙏🏿

[@edibleghost]

I have incredible respect for your bravery in telling your story. I think so often stories like yours are left vague as though we don't want to make polite company uncomfortable but I think it's to everyone's benefit to understand just how horrible this type of human experience can be and that the true monsters of this world live amongst us every day and we need to be watchful for the sake of those that can't help themselves. It speaks to your strength as a person that you are able to be vulnerable and share this with us and I thank you for doing so and wish you well in all your future endeavors.

[@basvangeest5485]

I fully agree with everything you said except for one thing. As horrible as their actions are, calling them monsters and leaving it at that solves nothing. They are fundamentally broken people with their own awful stories. It’s no excuse for the horrible things they did. However, it just tells us we should try to spot and help them when they are younger. Stop the cycle of abuse. So many adults in this story should have noticed and done something…

[@eliottbwa4006]

I usually don’t comment, but man I pray he continues to heal from his childhood. He has turned out to be a great man nonetheless, one love and thank you

[@CentralCoastTactical95]

I felt as if he was telling my story. This was hard to listen to, but it's helped me tremendously.

[@user-dh8zi5dc3r]

this is a truly strong man

[@williamwilson9283]

Hey brother, I am a combat vet grunt and keeping that hulk suppressed is a full time job. Thanks for sharing your story, and take care.👍💯🙏

[@naptus]

So many dark paths in your life, but you worked your way through. You are and will be, inspirational to many people who hear your story. Please stay strong. Wishing you and your family the best 🙏

[@kiddshanx2273]

This is what needs to be talked about i can see and hear how hard this was to talk about. Thats a real man not afraid to tell you not iust the black and white but the grey areas too. Im sorry this ever happened to you. It just shows you that good always prevails over evil. I love you brother. Thank you for sharing. That was one of the bravest thing i have heard or seen in a very long time

[@G.Harley.Davidson]

[@jeffhale5569]

Powerful and painful, I am glad to see you are thriving! Thank you for sharing Seth!

[@p71owner53]

Holy shit what a story to go through all this and still be here today takes alot of balls man 😢keep your head up

[@ellisroberts3495]

You are an absolute legend. So powerful

[@THECLIPSS666]

This is fucking terrible. I’m so sorry you had to get through this man. Sending love ❤️❤️

[@ericallison7934]

You’re a hella of a man, stronger than most and one hell of a heart felt story bro!

[@samuelleahy4780]

Hey man, thank you. I was never in the army, but I can relate to some of the feelings you have when it comes to the childhood trauma. And thank you for still being here, for getting through it, and for opening up and talking about it. As a man, I know how hard it is to talk about and the fear of judgement. Thank you.

[@ghosteh6503]

It's pretty crazy watching someone tell a story very similar to your own. This was a tough one to watch but also very comforting to hear. So much respect to this guy for doing what he did

[@CBirds]

I hope you continue to heal :)

[@borisborski1876]

Great guy

[@Eem86-86]

What a resilient man.

[@jarabotelho5275]

God damn I’ve seen this kid on Clark Frederick’s podcast…amazing story

[@jesse0george]

You need to have a strong stomach to listen to his hardship during his childhood This is sickening

[@dougstitt1652]

Bless you Seth

[@romanbelic776]

I appreciate the fact you guys are doing these longer bio vide that they are sharing who they were before service in full

[@SSGArmstrong]

Pfc Brandon kriescher was one of my best friends growing up In Williams county Ohio. I was in a train up on July 29, 2019 when I got the news and was devastated. When I started this I had no idea here it would lead and now I am a mess love ya bro even tho I don’t know you thank you

[@skilledrefugee6356]

"i was a soldier finally..." bro was a born soldier doesn't even know it

[@VoidedVisuals]

Man this was soooooo sad it’s horrible how some people treat others like this.

[@ayebeeskwib]

AATW you're a good dude Seth.

[@NaturalStateDepths]

I listened to violent and graphic stories of brutal combat on this channel and this one made me more uncomfortable than all of them combined. I'm sorry you had to deal with that man.

[@stevedawson3737]

Absolutely horrible childhood! No child on earth should ever have to go through what this man went through! Every adult in his story deserves to be put under the prison…!

[@kingjuice1611]

Extremely strong just to talk about trauma I hope your today is better than yesterday and your tomorrow better than today

[@JLeyendecker]

Bravest and most needed story I’ve heard!!! For real brother, you are a hero for sharing this! Thank you. You will help so many. My childhood was very broken too brother! I hope you can check out a ministry called Marked Men for Christ. It is so healing! ❤️🙏☦️

[@ItsMeUrDaad]

Wow holy fuck bro we share the same childhood bullshit. Fucked. Ok the more i listen, not that bad dog. I'm sorry man 🥺 mad strength to talk about this stuff.

[@chevymontanta]

Lima ohio here💪🏾

[@UrbanValorTV]

🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@matthewr.33]

I bet his older sister went through some shit

[@svrider2006s]

Damn! I just heard his story on Softwhite underbelly. Tragic stuff

[@brandimyhren6317]

Room full of adults and not one of the adults is doing anything to benefit the kids. Not one adult did anything to keep the kids safe or do anything but abuse them. Disgusting. This is why you don’t have kids when you can’t even take care of yourself.

[@Sam-fi4pt]

I think it’s important to note that ROE is different for every conflict, these “non-combatants” would be dead in most of today’s conflicts

[@tonytorres3911]

What in the hell is going on this story is soo, soo I don't know what to say or think 😢😢

[@fusedcarlos6846]

Maybe I should get help cuz that crashing out in the head goes through my mind so often

[@itzarelmartinez3472]

Oh shit he came from SWU

[@redramjay1416]

I didn’t know this was soft white underbelly.

[@Ithinkimaman666]

Is this porn? I get that hes messed up from what happened to him but this is not the place to share that. It’s messed up and terrible. That needs to be talked about with a psychiatrist. This channel dropped the ball on this one. I came here to hear military experience not to listen to details about this guys molestation. Put a disclaimer on here to skip at least an hour to get to the military stuff. I like the channel but hope this gets demonetized and taken down.

[@Acidic_Hz]

Porn? Your getting gratification from it? This man is talking about truama. I get the needing a disclaimer, maybe adding the “skip to this time” section, but to say it’s porn is kinda weird.

[@Ithinkimaman666]

@@Acidic_Hz the extreme detail makes it seem like I’m listening to a creepy porn. It’s unnecessary. I’ve listened to tons of these stories and a lot of people had messed up childhoods and we get a brief story and move on but this it too much detail. Again it’s terrible what happened to this guy but to get an hour of details is way too much.

[@Acidic_Hz]

@@Ithinkimaman666 I get what your saying, but it’s not “porn”. Porn is for gratification. To compare it to porn makes you seem like a weirdo, not saying you are, but it was a bad choice of a word. That is how it came off to me because porn isn’t generally about rape or violence or child abuse or children…. I mean to say a man describing his story, whether it be descriptive or not, about him as a child being raped is comparable to porn is just mind blowing.

[@candinmuniz3225]

What an ignorant and disrespectful comment to post. To equate this man's personal hell to "porn" is both reductive and untrue. This is trauma. It is graphic, absolutely, but that truth needs to be graphic to expose the reality of what people have encountered and are encountering today. If you felt revolted by what you heard, good. It's supposed to make you uncomfortable, supposed to make you squirm, supposed to make you sick to your stomach so you understand the reality of the situation. Ideally this would push you to do some small thing to alleviate the suffering in another person's life. Somebody you know in your life has likely encountered something similar. They are likely trapped in their mind thinking nobody cares, thinking that their story is too graphic to tell, too embarrassed to share their story because of what horrible things they encountered. You know what that does? It pushes people to extreme measures to cut off those memories. Your comment justifies the thought that nobody actually wants to hear the truth. That nobody can handle what they went through. They think they're justified in not seeking help because someone will think they're creating "porn" which is unfit to tell in "pleasant" company. Reevaluate your position, and I highly recommend you delete this comment to prevent it from hurting someone in the future.

[@Ithinkimaman666]

@@candinmuniz3225 Im disrespectful for calling this a porn? You don’t have to enjoy it or get aroused to call something porn. This was a story with excessive detail of him getting came in by another dude. That to me sounds like a story you would find on a porn site. I don’t tune into this channel to listen to an hour of a guy telling his story of getting diddled by another guy in detail. In other stories they glance over there past before the military then move on to the military and the trauma there. So yes this episode turned into a gross porn for an hour that was unnecessary. If he wants pity for that part of his life then he should go on Dr. Phil. If he’s still wrecked by his past then he put everyone next to him in the military in danger because the smallest thing would set him off especially playing grabass in the infantry. I watched too many of my fellow soldiers die over there because people like this guy bring his past trauma with him overseas then can’t handle shit because he’s weak. A few killed themselves, shot themselves in the leg another in a foot and a few broke limbs on purpose because they were weak and couldn’t handle a deployment. People like you and this guy bring real men down in our society. You pity this guy because he continues to want to be a victim and you coddle him and so he keeps the victim mentality. Suck it up, get real help and be a man and stop crying about the situation he chose to be in because he couldn’t handle his mommy yelling at him. If this triggers you then go find a safe place or this guy and you two can hug it out and cry together. And no I will not delete my comments and I will continue to post on here because it triggers weak boys like you who can’t handle other peoples comments about what this garbage really is.
