Scars of War: Soldier abandoned in battle with post-traumatic stress

The British Army is being accused of failing its troops who develop deep psychological trauma after serving in combat. As one former soldier faces double murder trial in Iraq, his distraught mother says it would never have happened if her son was properly treated for severe post-traumatic stress.

0:52 "despite that he was allowed to return to Iraq with a private security firm"

so after he was diagnosed he voluntarily went back to Iraq to work for some company?

Danny served in iraq/afgan/N.I. bosnia, sierra leone, macadonia and was not classed as having PTSD. Working private afterwards is no big deal when you have been shot at and blown up most your military career and got no help on leaving the paras..........None of us do and we don't expect it. so unless you know the guy fuck off with your comments. he will hang in iraq cause thats how our goverment treats us. as scum. So he will hang for what he did, so hope your all happy, now go fuck yourselfs.

@theexpliotedforlife I did check the comments, twat. Hence my response. Is there any intelligence in your brain at all? After all, being a UK citizen, and spelling Britain, "Britian" until I corrected you, makes you look extremely stupid, border line mentally challenged.

[sfm992002]

@theexpliotedforlife Resulting to baseless insults. Stupid comments is your MO. Now with twisted sex insults. How typical of a wanker. F off with your hatred of Americans, you hypocrite. It is underage arrogant wankers like yourself who think you are better than Americans make your country look bad. The most brutal dictators generally communist, and not American trained. The British Empire was the most brutal of all empires. Get an education, respect, intelligence, you little prick.

@sfm992002 @sfm992002 Get a life, troll. You are the one starting random and stupid arguements. Why? Because you get some sort of sexual kick out of it? Piss of with your hatred if the British. The thing is i don't hate Americans, i just hate assholes like you that make America look like an arrogant nation. America has sponsored and trained more brutal dictators than any other country around the world. Again, get a life.

@sfm992002 Check the comments dickhead.

@raptor2391 Criminal soldiers serving in illegal wars is the the British Empire is all about. You benefit from them, but I guess when it benefits you it is OK, right? No reasonable human being can deny the atrocities of the British Empire, benefit from them, and degrade them, hypocrite. Does it make you feel good to be the benefit from others actions, yet put them down? Delusion makes one feel good, false moral superiority makes one feel better...

[sfm992002]

@theexpliotedforlife Imbecile, you did exactly what you said you did not do. You also said a hell of a lot more than what you are claiming. You are the one that needs to shut up, you ignorant, hypocritical, young, dumb, patriotic (insult that you tried to use on me), loud mouth bitch.

[sfm992002]

@theexpliotedforlife LIAR, that is not what you said, and it is not what I said. Once again, you prove yourself to be the prick. More use of profanity, your weak mind trying to express its self. Looks like you need to take your own advice, and shut up, boy. But that will never happen, because it is more important to run your mouth, trying to tell adults what to do. Still ignorant to realize that is not going to happen. How many times did you spell Britain, "Britian?" Ah hahahaha
