RE: this is what pisses me off
They the MOD and Charities appear to be dealing with the mental and physical damage to the veterans and money is flowing gradually that way, but the guys I care for are the vets who end up homeless because they cannot cope with civvy street, turn to drink, crime, drugs depression and again theres sweet FA I can do about that, but I can pick em up in my old van and take em to various rest stops and shelters.
Ever seen a Veteran be told he is not eligable for a council flat only to find out ex Iraqi and Afghan fighters who arrive here illegaly get housed? I have and it was heartbreaking. Total and utter betrayal by both branches of government.
BUT again I say we cannot do anything about the causal issues we can only react to them as they affect us directly, I dont need to go looking for bad things in life that threaten my family, theres enough to deal with now.
