I hope there is scrutiny about the wisdom of having troops given so many deployments, one cited six month deployment every year for a period of six years, that's three years on the front line, and folk wonder why between 2001 and 2016, there were a total of 373 suicides among Australian service, reserve and former members of the Defence Force, against 41 lost in Afghanistan as of 2018. Far too much is being asked of the troops IMHO, and we wonder why they trip the traces, fighting an enemy that doesn't wear a uniform, a foe that uses children in operations, untrustworthy Afghanistan soldiers who are just as likely to kill you. Vietnam all over again, and seemingly the lessons have been forgotten.
