Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This revealing study looks at the issues of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the effect that this condition has had on ex-soldiers returning from Northern Ireland. Although the MoD and successive British governments have offered little help to these veterans, there is increasing evidence that their experiences have made it difficult for them to adjust to normal life with, for example, around one quarter of the single homeless in London being ex-service, many of whom end up in prison.
