Thanks Mark good to see that he came back how they find a normal life after that I cannot fathom, how they do it, nor any service person that has been through the mill, lotta strong loved ones and support network I'd say.

They missed so much in the beginning in relation to combat fatigue along with other syndromes, hopefully in today's world our vets are getting the assistance they deserve.
Jacqui Lambie a Senator got a royal commission into our vets alarming suicide rates I have not heard of any outcomes or reports into their findings yet, she is an ex-service person an officer I think either way the situation is not tolerable for our govt to let these good souls live in limbo.
