Hi Mac, thanks for your reply, you seem to agree with me on most things on this. But my ptsd from my younger life was treated, before I finished my training. Thats what I was trying to explain to Anthony. I fought in the 1st Gulf War and I suffered no ill effects from that, as I served with courage and distinction. I was trained for that. But I wasn't trained to experience Genocide in Bosnia, no soldier is. The Flashbacks that I suffer at night time come from Bosnia, nowhere else. And I'm claiming for that from the MOD pensions, not what happened to me when I was 8 year old. When I was in the Army, my mind was totally focused on my job, and being a platoon sergeant I had to be, as I had 40 men depending on me to get them through the Gulf War and Bosnia in one piece. Which I'm proud to say I did.
Thanks for listening Mac
Cheers
Scott
