    Brave man, respect to you from an ex serviceman.
    I am 52 years of age now and although we hold our servicemen in high regard for valour.
    I think we should understand that our Governments actions towards foreign policy makes shells of men.
    Danny says about the people trying to kill him in their own country, we need to understand if a foreign invader comes this is what happens.

    A great interview Dodge. Massive respect to Brian Wood. How these selfless heroes are treated if and when they come home is an absolute disgrace. Comforting to see that Brian and his family dealt with the re-traumatisation caused by the baseless allegations. Many don't deal with it so well, unfortunately.

    Thanks for the heart on my comment knowing that you read the comments now just wanna say your channel is amazing. I have forwarded a link of the Carlton video to my Dad. He was born in 1947 massive Hammers fan grew up in Romford and I know he is going to love the beginning of that video. I have become a massive fan in the last month and can honestly say I hope your channel goes from strength to strength. I am glued to your channel. Gotta say one thing tho, some people sticking their beak into other people's business making stupid comments on videos makes me hang back and keep my gob shut because you really do have the most serious of serious people on the podcast. I wouldn't dream of saying anything stupid in your comments cos you never know who is reading and watching. Thanks for your effort.

    I was 16 years and 8 months when I started basic in 1992. 92B at Harrogate Army Apprentice College. Mad times. 40:37 it was a punchy day - you don't say 😂😂 That's mad I can so relate to this guy not being prepared for the legal battle, after I left the army I was fitted up by the police for something I didn't do, nothing as serious as the case talked about here, but after leaving the army I went though hell, and the police just broke me. Being fitted up for something I didn't do and then finding out afterwards they knew all along just ruined me. Even though I won and beat the case I went through 5 years of suicidal ideation every day and my dog was the only reason I didn't do it. I feel for this man beyond words.
