Unimaginable Deployment Tragedy


As I mentioned last week, there are 2-3 stories each week that leap off the page (just from among the ones reported).

Here is one from this week:

A young soldier was so traumatised by the prospect of his first Iraqi posting, he took an overdose which killed him.

Private Jason Chelsea couldn't come to terms with the thought that he might have to "shoot children" carrying suicide bombs.

He was so afraid, on the eve of the tour of duty with the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment he took a lethal quantity of paracetamol and iron tablets.
