Leaked MOD memo explores reasons for recruiting crisis  . . .

"One of the problems identified is a concern among potential recruits that their mental health could be compromised if they join."


Veterans Aid has been predicting this outcome for a long time. 'Bigging up' the numbers becoming dysfunctional because of PTSD is a trend that has generated consequences..

"I have lost count of the number of times I warned about the dangers of exaggerating this issue and predicted it would eventually impact recruiting.  It seems there are 379 service charities involved in dealing with PTSD and yet we rarely see it." -  CEO Dr Hugh Milroy
