In my stint in AFG I wish that I could say that the risk to defence personnel (of all NATO forces - AUS included) was less than our brave police and emergency members, sadly it was not the case. I can't stomach the idea of arguing which profession has lost more, what I witnessed first hand is not something I would wish on my worst enemy.
