Ahh but Mama Kin, is it a recognised condition?
I know many people in the army and they do get a bit depressed when they get back, but that is part of the job.
On your other point i think our troops should be posted wherever our country sees fit to post them. They are there to stabalise the handover to the Iraq government. This is not a 2 year job, it will take years.
Just as an insight into Iraq, if we stopped still for maybe a hundered years or so, they still wouldnt catch up with us.
There are people out there who say we shouldnt have troops altogether and that everything should be settled diplomatically.
Those sort of people are the reasons why we need to send troops to these rogue nations...
