“I’m blind in one eye, partially deaf, my right arm doesn’t work and I’ve got brain damage. Oh, and my left leg’s missing too. Apart from that, I’m alright.”
Paul Vice MC spent 16 years in the Royal Marines before his career came to a shattering halt when he was caught in the blast of an IED while on his fourth tour of Afghanistan.
So severe were his injuries, he died twice on the Chinook that took him back to Camp Bastion for the surgery that saved his life.
Please take a few minutes to listen to his remarkable story.

I'm a trauma nurse, and I have saved hundreds of people, and I loved it. Got diagnosed with cancer, can't do it anymore, and it breaks my heart not being able to save people like I use to. I understand the loss of the only career you have ever known and loved, mourning the body you had, staring at death, and crying alone and moving on with your day. I'm glad you got a second shot at life. I hope I get mine.

@untrannify 10 месяцев назад

Seriously? I understand what you mean. We should complain less about inconveniences, but also that doesn't mean we are inferior and making bad choices if we aren't happy and with such a zest. He even acknowledged, he'd rather keep all he has than get PTSD. Now, do you think it takes bombs to develop PTSD? Of course not. In other words, action-reaction. Those of us who are lifeless aren't this way for no reason. Many of us have wounds, pains, worse than what he went through in his life, even though we were never tlat a war. If he speaks, laughs, then he's not really disabled in one sense, just like you'd say "if you have all your limbs then you're not disabled." Like him, I'd say, give me a life where I can say "I loved ever minute of it" like he said, and then have my limbs taken away. Than a life where you hate every minute of it. It's not about him making a choice, not to hate every day, it's actually that life wasn't that bad to him. Mental and emotional injuries are not to be dismissed. Or imagine people who are innocent but locked in prisons. Where they keep their limbs. But how can they have a seat for life? Even when proven innocent and released, you've lost a decade, now what? Or, like this veteran said, he loved being a soldier, but then lost parts of his body. Which one would you choose? I'd choose losing limbs after having fun over losing a decade in prison.

Hey cheers to you Mate! I'm a disabled US Army Veteran. I've had multiple deployments to Iraq, Africa and Afghanistan. On April 11th 2011 our unit was ambushed by anti coalition militia forces, Haqqani and Taliban, in Kunar Province, Pech River Valley, Afghanistan. During the engagement I was severely wounded. Thankfully they were able to save my life all of my limbs, although I had multiple surgeries, years of rehabilitation etc.(Many of our guys weren't that lucky.) But the biggest blow for me, is that it put a big fat cross ❌ over my military career. Anyways, all I wanted to say, that stories like that are indeed huge inspiration for many. Keep up the great work. 👍

I'm American, and I greatly respect the American military as well as the British military and our allies. I watched this entire video about this man. He is a hero God bless him. He has that rare thing inside him that keeps him motivated no matter what. Good for him! I almost had my left leg amputated 3 different times, but I kept telling them NO. I was right, I still have my leg. Good luck to him always!

Brother all of our finest were sent over to those deserts for absolutely nothing. Trillions spent, millions of Iraqis dead and thousands of our boys - for absolutely sweet nothing.

He said he was there for the freebies, more of a mercenary than a hero. Glad he survived though but not any mention to God nor anything for the miraculous result.

He’s a strong man, but all the graphic injuries he suffered, there’s no way he doesn’t suffer from PTSD.

I agree. It often doesn't manifest itself for years.

@ptvfl 9 месяцев назад

I’m a psychology student and it really does depend on the person, their genetics, their personality, and the way they were raised. Someone could go through something as horrific as this and never end up suffering with PTSD.

I remember watching the 'Royal Marines: Mission Afghanistan' and was always worried about what Paul's long term outcome was. Such a character and I am so pleased to see he's doing what appears to be better than alright at face value. I hope to see you go from strength to strength.

@user-yo1cb5uh9l 10 месяцев назад

Was an MP and my dad was in the army before me. Came across lots of soldiers and all are heroes and you are living proof of them. I have found that most UK civvies do not respect or appreciate the military like the US does and they should be ashamed. These armchair warriors should watch your movie and hang their heads in shame, as they would not have the guts to do what you did or the agonies you have gone through on their behalf. God bless you my brother.

The fact that he said he would rather live the way he is now than trade it for severe PTSD says a lot about how powerful emotions are.

Thank you Sir for your Service. You’re a walking miracle a testament to your courage and bravery but especially the skill and dedication of the Drs, nurses and surgeons who helped you through it. The first step was the medics on the ground and especially in the helicopter who never gave up on you. Respect to you and your fellow service men and women. Lest we forget 🌹
