Fuss over nothing and too many are too quick to turn and voice outrage. How do you know he doesn't have PTSD, how many casting stones here have served in Afganistan?

You think service in the armed forces is a simple employment contract?

PTSD has unfortunately become a catch-all for a whole range of mental health issues. Lawyers using as the last defence of a desperate case do the issue no good whatsoever.

It's like being on the biff, because of the chancers the ones who are genuinely suffering will always have to defend themselves against allegations.

Which is very sad. And probably stops a lot of people coming forward.

no different to many claimants I imagine, many jump on that bandwagon

Possibly but not all of them try to make a moral crusade out of what is basically lack of intestinal fortitude . If he had an issue with it then the honourable option would have been to PVR and then go play with his tree hugging mates , he could have demonstrated all he liked then as a private citizen .

I think his antics on leaving court are a fair indicator of his mentality . Stand by for episode 2 ...the Compensation claim !!

I don't agree with him, what he stands for, or what he's done and I actively dislike him, BUT he has done a tour before. What have you done? Speak like that when you've done something to warrant a worthwhile opinion.

Sorry not read all this thread.

Did he sign off as soon as he got back off his first tour or wait until he got another?

He couldnt have signed off as soon as he got back otherwise he never would have been told he's going again.

good to see the man found his moral compass. much respect. it only took him 2 years of being AWOL in thailand and australia. the absolute prick. he got bored with the lady boys and had to think of something to say when he came back. the raised fist gripped my shit. the man is a media whore. plain and simple

He will no doubt become the latter in a month or two
