Horror Of War Ste Nicholls

Ste Nicholls talks about the horror of war. The causes, effects and management of childhood and adult trauma (PTSD). This follows on from ‘The Gap’ interview in which John Dennett, a World War Two veteran, sat down with Ste, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, to discuss their experiences of war.

Transcript from ‘Horror Of War’ featuring Ste Nicholls

C – For friends at home, Steve’s got his own podcast which we will put links to underneath. You talk a lot about trauma, it comes up a lot on this my podcast and it’s something I’ve got experience of. I think it’s only us guys who are making links between childhood trauma and upheaval. A typical sort of character whom will join the military and maybe feel a bit different. A sort of misplaced person in society.

Combat Veteran & Gun Owner Discuss The Right To Bear Arms featuring Dave Ewing

Are they coming for our guns, or have they already got them? In this fascinating podcast, Chris Thrall, a former Royal Marines Commando, chats with Dave Ewing from Firearms UK about shooting, rifles and the right to bear arms in the face of global tyranny.

Transcript from ‘Veteran & Gun Owner Discuss The Right To Bear Arms’

C – Dave represents an organization called Firearms uk and I’m sure he’s gonna tell us more about that.

D – As you say, keep the masses bickering so they don’t concentrate on the real issues. I mean there’s a guy like George Orwell and he’s quite well known for all his works. There’s a famous quote attibuted to him, ‘That rifle in the laborer’s house is the greatest symbol of democracy’.

Transcript from ‘SAS Parachuting Into The South Atlantic’

Bob – So that was The Falklands and two years before that, we had The Iranian Embassy seige in London. I was on the top floor going in from the roof. It’s all part of being in a team. I had the job of lowering the explosives over the stairwell. If anybody watches the Iranian Embassy BBC clip on Youtube, there’s a big explosion and then there’s some journalists saying, ‘That was a bomb’. Then you then see the lads climbing out. You know, the four lads of the 30,000 that climbed out onto the balcony.

Serving Royal Marines Commandos David Bruce and Sam Edwards together with former Royal Marines and recovering veterans Junior Mcilhiney and Will Schweppes rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, honouring the Cockleshell Heroes, to support of the Royal Marines Charity and raising almost £50,000

Transcript from ‘Royal Marines Commandos Cockleshell Endeavour’

W – We were always clipped onto the boat at all times whenever we were on deck, so when we were changing over, we’d always make sure we we’re clipping on to the the safety line. We’d obviously be wearing a life jacket or we had little climbing up harnesses which we took the leg loops out, so we’re just using the belt.

SAS Trooper & Royal Marines Commando

Robin Horsfall and Chris Thrall discuss life, death, poetry and everything in between.

Transcript from ‘SAS Trooper & Royal Marines Commando’ podcast

R – It’s a work of art and you know it has a limited audience, but I’m glad it’s out there.

C – You’re obviously very well read. How did you get into writing and have you always been a reader?

R – I’ve always loved books. I love books more than television. I think being a soldier, I didn’t like the idea of going into the tv room and not being able to watch the program I wanted to because the other lads were watching Top of the Pops.

Executed In The Falklands | Podcast #173

Posted on 12 May 2021 by Chris Thrall

Executed in The Falklands is part of the Brian Short story. Brian chats with Commando Chris Thrall.

[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”8uBlgQKLkMI” ]

Executed In The Falklands

Brian Short joined the Royal Marines, not as a commando but as a bandsman. The Royal Marines Band is the finest military marching band in the world, but this doesn’t mean they don’t go to war. In this emotional podcast Brian tells his traumatic story, dealing with both Argentine and British casualties.

Transcript from ‘Executed In The Falklands’ podcast

B – I very much knew in my own mind at that time, that we were going to win this war. Not because what I or the band were doing, but when you saw the professionalism and the fitness of the marines and the paras, you were training every day on Canberra. We know what they go through at Lympstone. I had no doubt that whoever they were going up against, these boys were going to commit acts of gross violence against the enemy and they were going to win.

C – I’m just looking at your notes and I’m trying not to get ahead of ourselves Brian. So what was D-Day in San Carlos like?

Transcript from ‘GO! GO! GO! SAS Iranian Embassy Siege’ podcast

C – All the preparations are in place. You’re running on adrenaline and you’re about to put your life on the line for the very last time. Just as you’re going in, The BBC broadcast your secret to the whole world. What what was all that all about?

R – You know at the end of the day there’s no televisions inside the embassy that I’m aware of. That’s exactly what they would do. Don’t forget they’ve been sat outside there themselves from day one and cameras glued to the balcony front.
