Since the early '80s, I've found myself in war zones in various parts of the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have spent the past ten years in just about every war zone there was.
I've gone to war zones before and never got shot.
I grew up in Saudi Arabia and India and Cyprus, and I lived in a war-zone myself, and, I mean, I had a pretty bizarre, I guess, nomadic childhood, and so I was really drawn to international relations and political science.
I was a soldier in WWII. The last couple of months of the war I was actually in combat.
I grew up in the time of Germany after the war.
It's a war zone, my body, and one which has been through a great deal.
Even a war zone looks peaceful in most places, most of the time.
I didn't know a time when there wasn't a war because I spent all my time from the age of two or three to eight in a coal cellar really.
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.
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.
