That's certainly true, biggus. TOFO I very much agree with all the positives you presented re. Ex mil types. But the fact remains many ex military people DO encounter serious problems after they leave. Denying this or accusing PPRuNe of trolling for highlighting the fact does them a serious disservice.
I think you've lost the thread old chap (no pun intended).

This thread is about service people excelling when they leave - which they do.

Pr00ne (not PPruNe) trolled it IMO by implying that this is not generally the case because of the large of troubled cases of ex -servicemen in society. I don't and never have disputed some sections of the military have problems fitting back in to civvy life. In terms of the overall number of people this affects against the overall number who excel when they leave, it is a tiny, tiny percentage...which it my mind makes his post mischief-making ie a troll.

If you want to have thread specifically about problems affecting ex-servicemen and women when they leave go ahead and start one...I'm sure it will be lively and interesting.

As would a debate on the Roman military
