    This is so awful to me .... when soldiers come home from war ... they are expected to just carry on and live life the way they did before they left ! ... after everything they've seen and all the hardships they've faced - how on earth are they expected to act "normal " ?? ( whatever that is ! )

    Growing up I heard stories about when my Grandfather came home from WW1 the abusive behaviour - the alcoholic behaviour too ... it wasn't until I started researching and my keyboard was drowned in tears reading War Diaries that I realised what terrible experiences he had ! this MP is right - our boys need proper treatment .... maybe this is what we all should be yelling and screaming about ... instead of worrying about the small stuff !!
