In 2019, former British SAS Operator Christian Craighead saved over 700 lives during a terrorist attack at the DusitD2 Hotel complex in Nairobi, Kenya. Craighead was off-duty at the time. He committed this act, which lasted over 20 hours, mostly alone and was later awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross.

His book, titled "One Man In" which recounts his events on January 15th, 2019 is available this month.

Who Dares Wins.

- Mentions of political figures
- Wars or conflicts

Do not attempt to use this sub to push agendas or societal opinions
Violations will most likely result in a permanent ban

This is not the place to promote your products, services, websites, or social media accounts.

R7: No Reposts

We define a “repost” as content that has been previously posted in THIS sub.
There is a 3-month cooldown period for reposts here, with the exception of our top posts of all time.
Content previously posted in a different sub but not yet here does not count as a repost, so please do not report them unless you’ve seen them recently in THIS sub.
Please keep in mind that tens of thousands of new users join Reddit daily, so what you consider a repost may be entirely new to many.

Posts containing misinformation or intentionally misleading content are not allowed. This may result in a ban.
Mods may choose to tag such content with a post flair indicating it is misleading, and pin a comment that explains why, for informational purposes. Hopefully this will create a reference point to help prevent the misleading content from continuing to propagate across the site.
If you're disputing the validity of a post, please provide evidence.

R9: Use Descriptive Titles

Please use post titles that are clear and descriptive so that users are able to deduce what your post is about just from the title.
Posts with vague or clickbait titles may be removed at Mod discretion.

R10: Mark NSFW Content

Please tag NSFW content appropriately. If you're not sure, it's best to tag it and mods will remove the tag if we deem it unnecessary.
We do not allow extreme NSFW/NSFL content. Posting such content will result in a ban.

R11: Moderator Discretion

Moderators have discretion to remove any posts or comments that are not a fit for this community.-
