"My tank was blown up by an IED and I was sent 40ft in the air"

  • Lance Corporal Murray Hambro was serving in Afghanistan in 2010 when the tank he was commanding drove over a huge roadside IED. The injuries he suffered were devastating.
    Struggling to cope with life as a double amputee, things spiralled further downhill when he lost his son, Louis, to a terminal illness when he was just two-years-old.
    But with the support of family, friends, military charities and a love affair with superbikes, Murray has rebuilt his life.

    What baffles me is why we need charities to help our wounded soldiers. A politician who becomes prime minister is entitled to get over 100k a year to run their office yet the guys that serve the wars these scum in politics cause get Diddley squat.
    Time to change that and give those injured like this, a lifetime wage.
    I don’t like saying thank you for serving because I believe the wars we have been in over the last few decades are pointless and did nothing to protect our country.
    What I will say is thank you for being the person you are and showing us that no matter what happens to you in life, you can get through it and have a successful life.

    I was in Iraq two times. (OIF and OIR). I worked in medical and while we would get IDF (usually rockets) my primary memory is all the young soldiers who had been wounded. That is what my nightmares are. The screaming in pain. The blood. The smells. I dream about it all the time. And the guilt over not doing more.
