Okay. the report I have just read may seem a little OTT, however,
having aquaintances in the Mental health sector of the mil, it is apparent that lots of young guys coming home from Iraq are suffering from the effects of their deployment.
The typifed mentally injured is the 18 to 25 year old serviceman whom before service, had only experience of rubbish schooling, pl**sta**n and no real hope in their home environment.
These kids have been sent to war after receiving a dumbed down and PC driven training.
They are then exposed daily to fire from hostiles, death and a world beyond which their minds can rationalise.
They then go go home on leave, go out on the pi** and get into trouble because average joe who picks a fight with them doesn't understand what they have been through.
They are then chastised by an inverted legal system for being a bad lad and told to grow up because they are in the wrong, when all they are doing, is what is now normal to them.
Many of our young fighting folk, in the future , will be cast out of the forces and will falter.
No wonder that many homeless are ex forces. No wonder that people take their own lives after service.
Difficult one I think
