Private Trauma: How we’ve let our service people down

The Bunker
The Bunker
How do we support soldiers traumatised by war? And is the public too sheltered from the reality of life during and after conflict? As the 20th anniversary of Iraq reignites questions over the experience of war and care for service personnel, Arthur Snell is joined by Louise Jones, an ex-Army Officer who served in Afghanistan and an active Labour Party member, to discuss how war changes a person.


“We have treated the Afghans we served with appallingly.” 

“As a country, we have let down those who have protected us.”

“Veterans and active soldiers are massively under-resourced, there is a crisis in mental health.”
