looks like a great documentary on Monday with Ross Kemp about service men/women returning home suffering from the effects. Often remains hidden due to stigma.

Well done for raising the issue and all the best to anyone suffering.

Sky Monday night

They do stop on way back now for decompression, which in itself is not enough but it is a start.

If only it was recognised and publicised for WW1, WW2 and all the other conflicts.

The Royal British Legon do a fantastic job to help forces and ex forces and their families.

Here's wishing hope and a brighter future for all.concerned.

Good post View.

the stats that more guys may have committed suicide who served 'down south' than were killed in the actual conflict is worrying and sad..

given the actual numbers who have served in Iraq and Afghan, there needs to be a massive increase in resources to deal with any issues post return..

folk still have to be open to asking for help if they recognise any symptoms, would like to think the training etc for that is better than it used to be..

and in this of all weeks we should acknowledge as a matter of some shame that we have 'veterans' locked up in prison who are more than likely there because they became ill serving the country..

I did a piece of work in my job around ex forces and homelessness.. its a shocking and stark reality that so many are ending up on the streets and in prison. they are very angry individual who find it hard to push out their anger positively and often turn to drugs or alcohol to suppress their feelings. some while serving so in a lot of cases get dishonourlay discharged therefore not entitled to receive grants etc...

i think there is a lot of work that needs to be done but i think it will be done as long as funding is given to charities set up to help this increasing issue..

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

The affect on families and friends should also be considered. It is always a false economy to pretend nothing is going on and we don't have a responsibility to deal with it.
