as close as I ever want to come to the military was recently trying to support an ex-serviceman who has suffered from PTSD for the last 23 years or so

the military tried to strip away his humanity to get him to play their game but left him with just enough so that playing their game has ruined his life

the "harmless, victimless fun" that we have seen in the media over the last couple of days is part of the same process

there has to be a better way of managing international relations

I'll be happy if I never again have to work with a human being in the condition we have left that guy in

Joined just short of 10 years ago, just after leaving college.

Was very wet behind the ears and it was a huge wake up call.
Could deal with the physical side just the constant shouting all the time takes its toll. Got injured and left hoping to rejoin later.

Unfortunaltey never did as my mates who were in were leaving for a civvie post getting 3 times as much.
