Not many Veterans tell you a story as it`s traumatic it`s easier to just forget in your mind !
In the Eighties I was operational watching a house where Terrorist were meeting ! We were under cover I was the Driver and Mt best Mate was the Photographer !
We were hit by a Jcb from the rear we were in a Vauxhall Cavalier then shots were fired glass splintering and my mind just started pumping adrenaline ! I had a 9mil Browning but i just hit the accelerator we were in half of what the car had been all crushed at the back ! | We were then being chased by Black taxi`s with shots from armalites pinging the metal and wisping past us !
We reached the UK Forces check point and I cried out in joy too turn to my best friend to see he was dead he took a bullet to the head !
It took me over 10 years to tell this and in writing have a tear in my eye !
I was in depression for a year after until some awesome Lady helped me - I told you that part b4- Anyway no Hero but that`s what a veteran is
It's a burden most Veterans carry, I', glad you have found a way to live on.
Even sharing this was tough
I just wanted ppl to know the perspective
of what it`s like to be a soldier
It`s emotional soul destroying shit
Other parts I will never share my demons
