Retired SAS Operator Christian Craighead (Obi Wan Nairobi)

In today’s video famed Retired SAS Operator Christian Craighead sits down for a interview. Hope you all enjoy

[deejaykreechah]

We as Kenyans are greatfull for your brave and heroic actions which saved lives here in Nairobi... "salute"

[billyjoejimbob]

45 mins of dad advice followed by dad advice. This guy was born to win.

[patricecomedy]

Man what a guy. A hero and a gentleman. The best of British. We thank you for your service Chris. Wish you the best for your next chapter.

[OprrKaz]

Craighead is the definition of wholesome but deadly. If something were to happen he could switch from going on a run to saving lives in a heartbeat. True hero 🫡

[KMBIAN]

This interview was basically 51 minutes of story time and dad advice. Such a great guy. Very humble and down to earth.

[RTplays]

Man, as you're talking about "standing up to the bully" I, as a prior service member of the US Army, started tearing up. You're literally what makes a hero, a hero. Thank you for your selfless service.

[Stringer]

His story is very different from most SF guys. He’s still very guarded and that is really respectful. His work ethic at the end of his career is what defined him. #22

[paulharding]

🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Hero is an understatement for this guy and many of his fellow operators.

[Dustyfeathers]

And that's why I'm proud to be British. A true professional of his craft. A true gentleman. A true genuine guy.

“Always just remember who you are and remember what you can do and stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves and always just strive to do the right thing”.

Simple yet profound knowledge drop by a true hero.

I am an RAF veteran with 15 years of service. The most exciting time in my career was when I was deployed to Ascension Island during the Falklands war. Thinking back now at my time there it was more of a holiday than a combat situation. But I did my duty, preparing the Vulcan aircraft for their bombing runs on Port Stanley.

Christian though, and others like him, are a different breed who deserve our outmost respect; even if they do not want it. Like him I dreamed of being Rambo, I also watched The Wild Geese when it was first released (I very much aligned with Richard Harris’s character at the time). But, unlike Christian, I never took it to the next level. I was happy and content with what I have achieved at that time.

I’m now in my sunset years, will be 62 in March. I have no regrets. I have two sons and two grandchildren (who very much can control me with their little finger). I say this to those who’ve watched this vid and want or dream to be like Christian or what his fellow SAS brethren have achieved. By all means follow your dreams, your calling but do not consider yourself a failure if you do not achieve those goals. It’s the journey that matters but also it’s the acknowledgment of your own mental and physical prowess and achieving the very best that you can with the cards you’ve been dealt with. Do that and, like me, you’ll be a happy person, content and full of love with those close to you.

Salute. Not for the soldier, not for the hero, but for the man he is. His honesty in this interview says all. He did not want to be a hero, but he wanted to do the right thing, and wanted to fight against all that is wrong. Thank God there are people like him. I am like him in a very shallow way. All my life I have wanted to be a man like him, but I fall far short. Salute.

[marleycosta]

Dude, this interview is priceless, it's 51 minutes of dad advice, a wise, humble, professional, a true HERO dad, I hope all his descendants live a long, healthy and rich life.

[Destroyjnns]

Gotta say, he hit the nail on the head for the junior leaders group. Suffering and hardship breeds confidence and strength. It'll either make you stronger or it'll break you

[mwangimukuha]

Obi wan Nairobi thank you for your heroic acts that saved more than 700 lives. I remember this day like it was yesterday. It was my final year in university and had just prepared to attend that day's baseball training in campus. Was talking to a few friends at this joint and breaking news showed the attack happening live. We had to suspend training that day. It was a sad day but the police and Obi Wan Nairobi came through. I remember we spend almost the whole night in this joint online and on TV with friends trying to help any way we could. No one will ever shake the will of Kenya 🇰🇪🔥! Not even terrorists!!

[AnonXio]

As a UK national of similar age I remember watching ""Who dares wins" until our speakers were blown. We all know who you are and what you did, one of the most poignant moments for me was watching you come out holding the hand of the traumatised victim, before going back in. Can't wait til the MOD clears your book. Thanks Chris -Legend.

[patrickbarrett]

Lol😂. This is a masterclass in “the more I talk about the movies the less I give away about the SAS” This man has already gone down in history.👏🏻

[mikegrupe]

All those movies you talked about, influenced me to join the Australian Army. I didn't pass the selection for SAS, but listening to Christian talk about his childhood reminded me alot of mine. Thanks, this is a great interview.

[tristandbarker]

Flannel Daddy yielding the floor to Obi Wan immediately. And a whole 45 minutes of real life advice. Man this is your best video far and away. I'm glad you were able to get this guy on, this was a great watch.

[roostergose]

"Who dares, is the video we've all been waiting for. Hero.
