This man has more recognition in another country than the land he was born and raised and recruited. Im proud he is british, but im also ashamed as a british man he not been given the valour of recognition he so well deserves. An Angel stood with him that day when his own government didn't. And now he lives in another country because of the way he has been treated. Shocking. Chris, you are a geniune legend and a true warrior badass.

Don't worry, HE is recognized in Heaven. Earthly praise is good to hear, but not something that's ever going to be needed by GODS chosen ones. The Earth is run by evil ,and is full of the evil ones minions that are working to destroy all good in this time. GODS soldiers are fighting back. The spiritual battle has begun in earnest back in 2020, and has been raging ever since. Those of us whom belong to GOD are awake and can see it, but millions are asleep and cannot. Their minds are controlled by the evil one and they are cold inside. We have to try and wake as many as we can , but some are to far gone already. GOD gives each of us gifts and abilities to navigate thru all this evil ,and protection to fight it. The most powerful thing we have is our minds and the ability to listen to what he wants of us. Our dreams. Our intuition, our knowledge of good and evil and right from wrong. With just a mustard seed size of faith, you can move mountains . Words can change lives and send souls be saved.

[@RandomAnonymousChick]

Too many war criminals and b!tchy bs behaviour is celebrated and we're living with the consequences of those results when our youth struggle due to a inability to do the next right thing.

If you are not of "European descent" which clearly means being 'white' as European's are white (obviously) which people are deluded to thinking otherwise. Then you can not be native to the British isles, hence you or your family have immigrated here with roots and culture to elsewhere away from Europe. Yes, people who are not really English, Scottish, Irish etc fall into the "British" mark although it makes little sense as native English people are also regarded as British, when in fact, with this much multicultural divide, we are clearly NOT the same.

@@Anglo-Brit How absurdly ignorant of you. I assure you I can most certainly be both. I hold both British and Kenyan passports. On my white-English father's side, I can trace my heritage back to the 16th century in rural Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire (the heart of England). I have ancestors who have fought in some of the most famous battles in our history (the Somme, Talavera). We are very proudly English, by blood and culture. My mother is ethnically Kenyan, of the Kisii tribe and equally proud. She was born a member of the British Empire and today holds one of the highest royal positions in the country, as well as a Presidential award in Kenya. I am proud of both sides of my heritage. We are living examples of how well British multiculturalism in the 21st century has worked. Try harder next time.

[@Josh-ql3be]

@@Anglo-Brit How can I be English by blood if I have African blood? Because I have both English and African blood. It's not that hard to understand. I am ethnically and culturally both English and Kenyan. I have inherited the genetics, customs and characteristics of my English ancestors. I was born and raised in England. It seems to me that the only issue you have with my Englishness is that the colour of my skin isn't quite what you'd want it to be for your own personal definition of 'European'. Well, I'm afraid you aren't the arbiter of racial categorisation and if you understood anything about genetic history, you'd know that most of us are a mix of different things. I have a friend who appears to be a white-English woman, but after DNA tests, she discovered that she has a Black African great-grandmother. On meeting her, you wouldn't doubt her authenticity as English, but you would mine? That to me, betrays your racism, and undermines your entire approach. I could site the fact that the first Briton (Cheddar Man) had brown skin and that our first people migrated here from continental Europe, but I imagine you'd take the discussion to culture - on which I also have you. I am culturally and proudly more English than 99% of people in this country. I love our history, literature, landscape, local customs and food. I am a patriot and I am very much both English and Kenyan. Nothing you can attempt to argue in a comment section is going to make that not so. Have a good day.

The reason why Chris relates the experience with the hitchhiker is because he knows the incident opened the energy or portal that gave him superhuman strength, will, physicality, and determination for later in the day. The hitchhiker's voice upon exiting the vehicle wasn't loud but was deafening. He was hearing telepathically in addition to audibly. The compulsion Chris felt to stop and pick up the man was his spiritual guides and protectors working through him. I suspect the dagger was shown because it triggered the superhuman response Chris said he felt. More than a response, Chris describes the temporal region he entered as within a flow--where everything is synced within and without. Chris' soul signed up for this possibility before entering this life, and the hitchhiker enabled the mission. Chris spoke of his super powers as seeing further; hearing further; moving faster; being stronger; mental agility heightened. He said: "every second counted; everything was perfect." The flow can also be the Tao or the Way. The super powers could have been life force residing inside him waiting for this opportunity, and the hitchhiker came to remind him on a subconscious level.

I once had the honor of speaking to Medal of Honor winner, Air Force Major Bernard “Bernie” Fisher. His son was in my unit. Bernie got his MOH flying an A-1E Skyraider in 1966 in Vietnam when he landed on an overrun air strip to pick up a downed aviator. It had to be one of the greatest combat aviation rescues in history. Major Fisher confided in me that on that day, God spoke to him, much as it appears happened here to Chris, and told him what to do and that he would be safe. After absorbing massive fire from enemy forces who had overrun the air strip and stopping to get out of his cockpit to pull the downed aviator into his cockpit, Maj Fisher took off in less runway (it was littered with debris) length than his Skyraider should have allowed. He should never have made it. But he barely lifted over the trees and made it to safety with the rescued pilot draped over his lap. He told me God spoke clearly to him to land and save that pilot. I’ll never forget his sincerity, his forthrightness, his grace, and his overriding sense of peace and neither will any of us who heard him talk that day. Sometimes we all need some extra help when doing something heroic… 😊

This dude is legendary , its cool you even got him on your show. I've never heard the man speak before but I find the most interesting part of his conversation the part where at the start of his day he knew it was on. He was getting signals , some force was on his side man. Thats very interesting.

[@user-neo8888]

This man epitomses SF guys. He says "i consider myself unlucky" because he's usually off watch or out of country then goes on to explain entering an active area alone with the instict to save lives, completely not knowing anything about the situation other than his friend asking him to come to his aide. Then now still has the integrity to not boast or look for a pat on the back all while watching his words fot security reasons. What an amazing man and soldier!

This is a great example of what it takes to be special forces, incredible mental toughness, personality, charachter, those traits understated, but allied to super human fitness levels . Christian like every single one of the SAS/SBS operator`s is humble, carries HUGE unseen authority, not egotistical , not driven by fame and fortune (the British Services pays an absolute pittence in return for outstanding service from these men) ...they all do it because its just 'in` them, its their 'calling` their destiny.....they are born to it....Just unbelievable people....

Because they have to be for mission reports and things and they have it drilled into them so it sticks with them for life.

Like many, slight trepidation about UKSF 'coming out' - mindful of the debacle of others before him but also of C's reasoning behind decision to break from the 'Hereford Hooligans' so to speak ;-). What I have seen of this session has impressed deeply. Whilst maybe novel to the experience of interviews with other Countries 'Operators', C's diffidence and avoidance of certain detail speaks volumes and speaks well. Proper job mate! Thumbs up!
