...he states that pschological problems in the armed forces remain at a low level
That'll be reported levels then?
Having experienced the military mental health care myself I can say that although they did a marvellous job for me its not exactly easily accessible or well known. Also pre-deployment training hardly scratches the surface of what you can expect when in theatre but then again how can it? How can a few weeks at STANTA recreate being mortared/rocketed 20 odd times a day or in the case of those lads who have to spend a bit more time outside the wire, watching mates get blown up by IEDs/shot or 'just' the constant fear you feel waiting for something to happen whilst stood in the back of a Land Rover outside the wire?
