The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Afghanistan: British soldiers suffering ‘psychological consequences’ from Kabul evacuation mission” – below is their description.

James Martin, Commander of 16 Air Assault Brigade, warned of the importance of his soldiers taking time to process what they had witnessed during the mass evacuation mission in Afghanistan.
