There were no armed troops covering Dover's acts of remembrance today as far as I could see.
However, conservative estimates are that there are 13,000 former members of our armed forces suffering from PTSD and receiving little or no professional help. Many of them are homeless. Over 100 years ago we treated victims of PTSD as cowards and were happy to murder our own people under such circumstances, as so poignantly described in Reg's wonderful song. Jan has made a good point. It's all a question of priorities and attitude.
