You´re the only one who red that correctly, Ant is making everybody but the politician guy uncomfortable and perplexed. A lot of people are commenting about how those two women " wanting him for dessert" don´t know where they see that. I know that look for living in Scandinavia almost 20 years and being an outlier myself, these women are in no way whatsoever attracted to Ant. They are trying to figure out how "insane" or "psycho" he must be as he tells his story and their body language is of perplexity not attraction. Guys like Ant are repulsive to most Scandinavian women as of late.

i'd imagine the strange looks they give him are from lack of familiarity and abundance of novelty, he's done things very very few people can truly understand and he talks about it comfortably... people have to pretend to 'get it' but thankfully most never will

I myself have realized I have to tailor how I come across in Australia, my Aussie girlfriend thought we're all fighting when she came overseas (but we were just having a normal convo amongst friends. The presenter however, I think it's rude to blatantly ask how many people he killed, and then pushing that avenue when it was answered.

Personally I would never ask a solider if he’d ever killed someone or seen horrors in a war-zone. Anyone whose served in the forces and done a tour - nothing but respect & thank you.

[@Maloha486]

Context matters and this host asked it way too casually. A better way would’ve been to presume the kills and just ask Ant how he felt about his mission and then casualties in war.

[@dennismoore1134]

Too right. Why should he even be asked? Some questioning is way out of line & is insulting. Dennis Moore.

The problem is, the wars that happened do to provocation by the US, false flags and complete invasion of howl countries. Just during Obama(a god damn nobel peace prize winner?!) 3 MILLION civilians got slaughtered. That's the real issue here.

[@dbmusic4114]

its a pretty dumb question since he has his own tv show and wikipedia page. To me its a setup to make him look bad for the interviewer's agenda. Or maybe make him second guess himself. Even if he did feel bad it wont change anything in the past, doesnt stop the SAS doing its job. But it will open the doors for the possibility in future of the soldier going mad, depressed etc.

[@humann5682]

I also think it's a bit reductive to just heap praise and glory on someone just because they were in the armed forces. Military personnel often have horrendous jobs but also military personnel have done some horrible things to innocent civilians "on tour". It's a complicated situation, but I'd rather listen to someone's story first before rushing to beatify them simply because they served in a military force I happened to approve of.

[@Quodge]

Look at his body language.. shaking his head. He cannot believe he is being asked this. His voice changes too. Poor guy. This is actually extremely outrageous and the host should be ashamed of himself.

[@Spaz12ism]

@@-Roche- its the way he asked... listen to the loaded words

[@oiulti6900]

Nahh, this is something he has contemplated on his own. His head shaking is a sign of mental discomfort from his own perception. If he knew the answer, he would have answered it calm and with a more assertive body language, but his body language and essentially tone is a part of his neural network that shows a bit of discomfort to the question, because he doesn’t have a clear answer. He has an answer to try to justify what has happened, but there is no 100% certainty that he completely believes in his own conclusion. The healthy part of this, is, he believes in good and bad, and wants to not be justified as bad. He though is contemplating his own “personal” answer, hence the head shake as a no posture.

@Andrew M You do realise this isn't an English lesson? No it is a KZbin comment section so relax about punctuation because it is honestly quite sad but majority of the people who join the army want to serve and protect their country now I don't agree with innocent people getting killed but at the end of the day what they are doing is for the greater good and you shouldn't be scrutinizing Ant for it because he isn't a bad person he just followed orders and did the job at hand don't take it out on him he is just a pawn on a chessboard it is the government who you should be having your gripe with.

[@NanaGlover]

@Andrew M No no I was saying that you shouldn't be bringing up punctuation as it doesn't matter in a KZbin comment section hence why I said this isn't an English lesson because grammar and punctuation isn't important and isn't the main topic. Ant isn't a bad person just because he joins the military he doesn't take pride in killing people he only does it when it is needed and you know what you raise good points but the fact is, is that ant isn't a bad person because he killed someone in war because who says he wants to do it the people who are bad are the government as they are the ones who make the decisions like I said he is just the pawn in a chessboard no more than that he takes lives to save lives and it is easy as that and people don't just join the military to kill

Very arrogant questions but Ant dealt with them briefly and professionally. Just goes to show he is a thinking man and even after the conflict, he’s still very composed. Fair play to him.
