My time in war zones have been fleeting and infrequent. I've been to Iraq. I've been to Afghanistan. I've been to other places where I've collected hazardous duty pay.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've gone to war zones before and never got shot.
My life isn't always at risk, even if I'm in a war zone. A lot of these places have areas of calm, so covering war doesn't necessarily mean being shot at all the time.
Please God, I'll never be in a war zone, but everything I sort of know about people who come back is that it's a hard transition to make. I mean, even if you've not been in a war, even if you've just been in the Forces, you come back and probably have more fights in civilian life.
I've been to many countries and watched a number of conflicts or their residue, and I've served in the military.
It's a war zone, my body, and one which has been through a great deal.
Over the years, I've spent time in Saudi Arabia, the Bekaa Valley, Afghanistan, Jordan, and Kenya, among other vacation hotspots.
I'm a good little middle-class boy. I live in Gloucestershire or Kensington. I don't exist in the war zone, but it's certainly not far away. I grew up in an area where it is a war zone - south London.
Last year I traveled to the Middle East to visit with troops in Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
I have spent the past ten years in just about every war zone there was.
Since the early '80s, I've found myself in war zones in various parts of the world.
