A Game of Soldiers
1990 • E10 May 6, 1990 50m
Psychologist James Thompson believes that by expecting soldiers to do our dirty work, we put them in an impossible situation. He knows the effect it can have on professionals trained to kill. Some hate it, some become addicted, but every soldier is affected. How do squaddies in the front lines live with these conflicting moral standards? Three ex-soldiers in the British army talk about the impact of fighting and killing.
