I’m a British army veteran of Afghanistan (2012, aged 42) who guarded opium harvesting, witnessed Afghan civilians forced by our allies to act as a human shield against a potential IED, and who refused repeated orders to stone Afghan children as we patrolled through their villages. In a previous life, as a 27-year old civilian technician, I was sent to 1997 Yemen where I met Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and visited The Base by Al Qa’idah town.

ADDED 23 MARCH 2023 - MY MENTAL HEALTH RECORDS:
Very reluctantly I'm adding my mental health records, the findings of two assessments I was FORCED to attend. 

2017: "Dr Farid is of the view you do not display psychotic symptoms nor are your experiences delusional”. 

2021: “… there is no firm diagnosis on the [Community Mental Health Team] records.”

The National Health Service, under the direction of corrupt doctors & staff, are losing my medical records they don’t like and maniulating other records to present me as mentally unstable. BRITAIN IS A POLICE STATE.
