    I’m a former marine and I did struggle to adapt to civvy street. Wasted Resource, highlights the types of issues that former service personnel experience, such as alcoholism, homlessness, PTSD and the difficulties re-adapting to civvy street. At the same time it highlights the waste of military skills once soldiers demob. These could be better utilised to protect the interests of the nation.

    However, I have literally snapped these issues into a crime, action, adventure stolryline to make them more appealing.

    What’s your opinion on this?
