I feel the same

Fighting for the Jews didn't fulfill your soul? 😭😭

He’s probably having as much, if not more, impact by speaking so candidly to other servicemen. You can’t change the past, but you can help somebody else

He’s the only one that’s on display whose eyes always match his words. You don’t have to like what he says but he is being genuine and every body stacker I’ve ever talked to agrees. The only exception are those who exist as two separate people and refuse to think about it.

Soldier, you claim you made 'zero difference,' but that is the ultimate luxury of an invader. For you, the difference is measured in failed geopolitical goals and names on a list. For the people on the other side of your rifle, you made a massive, devastating difference. While you were chasing your 'dream' and 'passion' 7,000 miles away from your home, you weren't defending your country—you were dismantling someone else's. You talk about 'number one guys' as if war is a video game, ignoring the collateral damage: the destroyed infrastructure, the shattered economies, and the innocent lives caught in the crossfire. Even if you hit a target you call a 'terrorist,' you left behind a trail of broken families and a traumatized nation that will take generations to recover. To say you made 'no impact' just because you didn't 'win' is a selfish way to dodge accountability for the ruin you helped build. You didn't just 'live with the consequences'—they are still dying with them.

I can understand how you feel by what you’ve said here. I guarantee you, you all made a difference. We’ve historically been betrayed by our own administration and the cia. But your contribution matters and inspires young and old.

You did something Reaper.. you saved the lives of your buddies. That is the accomplishment. A bunch of young men thrown into a conflict by ass backwards politicians thinking they know better. The government owned your ass for your contract and you fulfilled the mission of helping your brothers stay alive.

A global hydra of evil. I’ve concluded the only solution is not to participate in games initiated by liars and deceivers. They all want the precious ring and will sacrifice millions to get it.

I'm glad we can all agree the fight is at home now.

He learnt nothing. He stills calls them terrorists without recognising that he is the one that went to THEIR land, killed THEIR mothers, fathers & children based on nothing but absolute lies & greed for oil. That is terrorism.

Nothing is free... GWOT: Dead U.S. Military: 7,085 Wounded U.S. Military: 53,533 Suicides U.S. Military: 30,177

Well if you were able to keep your buddies alive you did make a difference. Maybe not a difference in that country, but you still made a difference in the outcome when your boys came home alive.

Clearly, I joined and served for very selfish reasons I don’t think individually I made a difference, and I’m not sure collectively if we made a difference You definitely feel and carry with you for the rest of your life that you were a cog in the machine That doesn’t change my mind about the relationships I formed

I saw the second tower fall from my office window on 9/11. There was a feeling of dread and a surrender to fatalism; we literally expected mass casualty events to continue in the U.S. going forward. There were Al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan that were destroyed and disrupted by the U.S. military. While we look back at Iraq and say that it was a mistake, there is no denying that for a decade before, Saddam Hussein was causing chaos and practiced barbarism against his own people. Afghanistan is back with the Taliban now, which is unfortunate. However, during the 20-year period that Americans were in Afghanistan, young girls were able to get an education. Sadly that is no longer true. American servicemen made an impactful, positive difference in people’s lives.

I've fought with this my entire life. I didn't do it to make a difference. I did it, at the time, because there wasn't the luxury of deciding what had do be done. I understand what he's saying, but I no longer feel bad about what I was put in the place to do, or for what my lot required me to do. The decisions that put me there were made way above where I was at when push came to shove, but in the end, making a difference was never something that entered into the calculus. I'm only here because men, way better than me, had the misfortune to share my lot. For only them, I'm eternally grateful. For those who took, or would have taken their lives, I have no regret.

The fact that he’s still calling the people he killed “terrorists” means he still doesn’t understand what’s really behind these wars.

Fooled into serving the zionist satanist, thinking you were serving your country and God. Lied too by the father of lies, and the people who serve him.

We built ISIS mfer. I escorted the British contractors around personally. 1/9 Marines. There were meetings, money, Obama before he was made president, switching out generals. Even a secret surgery on an ISIS leaders daughter.

These poor guys are realizing that they were fighting for US corporations and Israel. In contrast to Iranians who are fighting for their land and faith.

Been in over 300 firefights and I feel the exact same way ask my mental health counselors at the VA, very common.

We have to stop plotting to take others Shyt. Many Times We are the bully on the block in someone else’s neighborhood. We pull up tell others what they are going to do in their country, We tell them how to live. That will make enemies anywhere you go. Take care of home!!

Man that is powerful. Beware what you wish for

Nick Irving aka “the reaper” telling it how it is and explaining how he feels after 6 combat tours. One of my favorite guys to listen to on this topic

We fund the enemy Israel and globalist billionaires want never ending wars of brave men

I knew when I was there killing some Afghan thug was going to make no difference in the world.

We absolutely made a difference over there. We destabilized the region for generations, caused countless refugees to flee their countries and sow deep Resentments in our governments plus some mid-good movies came out of that era.

Our army is the criminal organization so oligarchs can continuing looting

Basically just paved the way for the real evil mufuckas thats fucked up

Many of us feel this way. I do not regret my service, I do not regret my deployments but what I do regret is that we weren't allowed to actually win the "war." We were handcuffed trying to "win the hearts and minds" of people who absolutely hated us and everything we stand for.

@grok what’s the name of this podcast

I live to think I made a difference by the lives I saved NOT by the lives I took. Had overwatch from Snipers like Reaper when I was in it (RRC). That Sniper saved many of us, so that's where the difference is. Now, for the politics, did Julius Caesar do it for the politics or for what he thought the idea of Rome was. I, for one, will die with honor that I served the nation that to this day serves me and my family.

He is right.

Ya. It’s been over 20 years. No regrets, best time of my life. Obviously nothing has changed over there. Makes me think of the friends that I’ve lost.

The question is why are we fighting these people in the 1st place? Why can’t they have a military Muslim state? Why can’t these people have nuclear weapons if the rest of the world has them? Every country should have the right to sovereignty, it’s not the US job to police it

What he still doesn’t seem to grasp even now, is those ‘terrorist’ groups that still exist like Hezbollah, only exist because countries likes the US and Israel continue to forced them into existence.
