Why is it? He gets sent to Afghanistan, Anna and Eddie go through emotional turmoil while waiting for him to return home safe. He comes back after 6 months with PTSD, he throws a few wobblies wrecks the house or throws a few punches in the Rovers, a few episodes later he is cured. Because life is really like that isnt it?

Incidentally, to be an AT2 you actually need qualifications, to progress any further in that career field you need to be a bit switched on. If you sent an untrained inexperienced numpty to start disposing of IED's its only a question of time before something goes wrong. Losing a limb would be the character being let off fairly easily.

The MOD would agree to the unrealistic storyline because it will probably cause an increase in people enquiring about a career in the Army resulting in them having more potential recruits to select from.
