Title: Craig Harrison Interview
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 31 December 2021, 14:09:42
Wow.... I have just watched an interview of Craig Harrison done by a Scots guy named James English on YouTube.

It is the best interview I think I have ever seen.

Craig Harrison was a British Sniper and killed a Taliban at 2475 metres....

It is really worth a watch

Is this the guy who holds the world record for the longest sniper shot.   plus to prove it was not a lucky shot he killed the other guy next to him. :y

Yes.
It was out of range of his rifle... shot the first, bullet took 6 seconds to travel.... then there was another to the side so made one shot then another 3 seconds later....

The poor guy has massive issues....

A terrific man, unfortunately very few are given the support that they sometimes require, I have met many veterans who have ended up in prison and who have actually told me that it conquers their demons being incarcerated & having  the company of uniformed staff.

Just finished watching it, shocking the way he was treated on his return to the UK.
