Thread: Re-open empty Army Barracks for Homeless Ex Serviceman

I didn't say he had PTSD I used PTSD as the Govt/Mod has over the years denied PTSD claims and delved into the claimant's childhoods and successfully denied any such claims and there has been a significant rise in mental health issues amongst servicemen and women.

The MOD has thousands of homes left empty for years and hasn't ever tried to accommodate these people.

Here are a few facts/reports if you wish to read.

Mental health issues among UK Armed Forces rise 78 per cent in eight years | The Independent

Good to see there has been a significant rise in the numbers of people signing the petitions,some of the media has tried previously over the years but the govt has not done anything.

Try posting the whole link,and waiting for the info that i requested.

You do seem to be arguing against your own points, the British govt didn't give any help to de-mobbed veterans after wars, it was the Americans that did all the studies regarding mental illness,giving PTSD.

Perhaps you didn't realise you had a problem.

I could point you in the direction of many stories regarding the aftermath of the problems the armed forces personnel had and never understood what was happening to them.

Here is one for you.

There was no help for PTSD when I left the Army in 1945 ? but we still don't do enough for our veterans today - Telegraph

Here's another from the states that is very interesting from the USA

Its also very interesting the Americans give preference to veterans to be employed in the police there, though Knowing PTSD is a major factor,in Police brutality there.

The Brits we're left to there own devices

Good to see people care, and the emergence of a new political party for the people by the People.

chico,,, mate,,, u seem to be under the illusion that politics runs a country,,,,, the fact is big monopolies run gov's, the world over. there is no choice ref elections. whomever u fancy yourself as electing are bought and paid for by ,,,,, read above.

ref 1945,,, your mention,,,,, there were less people on the street after that fiasco, with 90% of the male populous engaged . 100% of the city populace were constantly bombed, some most nights for 4 yrs i dont know one case of a civvy living on the street due to that experience, that would include some hundreds of my personal family, extended, but as has been said the population didnt have handouts back then... i wonder why, older folk are prone to not ask for handouts. ............. why do u think that is chico.

Lob you seem to have a habit of making statements that I've supposed to of posted but can't for the life of me see where I have referenced homelessness after the war, though you're referring to be speaking of bombing usually after a war the Bombing stops.

We seem to be speaking about civvy's now and not armed forces personnel.
