Danny Kinahan: Iraq war is not over for the service personnel that suffer from injuries
As much as I am dismayed at the findings of the report, we must remember that the Iraq war is not over for the service personnel that suffer from the mental and physical injuries inflicted upon them or the bereaved families that must endure a lifetime of anguish. The UK government must ensure that these people are cared for throughout the duration of their entire lives.
There are many who will seek legal action against the government, many who will bare bitter resentment for Tony Blair but we elected representatives must all reiterate our promise to do all that we can for those that were so devastatingly impacted by not just this conflict but all conflicts.
