Title: James Yeager is dying
Post by: T.O.M. on March 16, 2022, 06:20:54 PM: I know. People here are not a fan of James Yeager as a firearms trainer or expert. Me too. But, I caught a video at lunch today in which Yeager was talking about his having ALS. He is noticeably thinner, and you can hear in his speech that he's not right.

Not a fan, but I wouldn't wish that horror on him. May he find peace and comfort as the end comes.

Post by: Ben on March 16, 2022, 06:49:18 PM: He did an interview with John Lovell yesterday. He has joined the Ukrainian Foreign Legion, and from the way it sounded to me, might, while not looking for a bullet, not be displeased if one got him before the ALS does. He seemed totally prepared for death and commented on how he has felt lucky to have lived a good life.

He hates my 1911, but I wouldn't wish the ALS on anybody. I hope he finds peace in his remaining time on Earth.

Post by: T.O.M. on March 16, 2022, 09:20:08 PM: Ben, that interview is what clued me in. Honestly, I hardly recognized Yeager, between the weight loss and the speech issues. Dug into Yeager's YouTube channel and saw it is him, and his announcement that he has ALS.

Like I said, I wasn't a fan. But no hatred for the man. And sure didn't want to see that he had a horrible yerminal illness. As for Ukraine, I agree. Maybe he's hoping to have an impact in his final days, or maybe just trying to avoid lying in a bed waiting for death to come for him.

Part of it is probably his cocky "only one right way" approach.

Part of it might be that he has challenged a bunch of internet loudmouths (many of whom called him a coward for how he handled an ambush when he was working as a PMC) to combat to the death.

He's more lolcow than hated e-celeb. It was fun to watch him sperg out over comment trolls.

Here's the gauntlet, should any of you want to pick it up.

James Yeager has died from ALS.

Hadn't seen that news. Peace to him and his family.

Post by: Blakenzy on September 04, 2022, 04:30:53 AM: I"m sorry to hear this news. James Yeager was quite the abnoxious opinionated loudmouth himself though and it got him in trouble a lot . He always reminded me of Heathcliff the cat for some reason. I don"t think there is room for more caracters like him in this censored world we live in now, so I guess this marks the closing of an era in some way.
