Why Veterans Are Paying Attention

In this episode of One More Mission, former Parachute Regiment officer Lieutenant Colonel Simon Barry discusses the growing concern among veterans over the Government's Northern Ireland legacy proposals and the wider implications for those who served in Iraq, Afghanistan and other operations. Topics include parliamentary voting records, the importance of constituency engagement, the impact of investigations and legal processes on veterans and their families, and why many former servicemen believe the current debate extends far beyond Northern Ireland. Simon also discusses the role of regimental associations, the significance of parliamentary abstentions, concerns about future precedent, and why veterans are increasingly encouraging others to examine the voting records of their MPs. A wide-ranging discussion on accountability, representation, military service and the relationship between the nation and those it asks to serve. Learn more at: https://justiceforveterans.uk
