"I respect the Argentinians. I can't say I forgive them. It's been 40 odd years and I still can't," This icebreaker is the lead into the full conversation with Nigel, a veteran of 22SAS and 2 Para, who discusses the peculiar journey of Saddam's artifacts, including the challenges of auctioning Saddam Hussein's butter sculpture. He details the interest from major networks like Netflix and Sky for a TV series adaptation and highlights his personal legal troubles related to the artifact under UN sanctions. Nigel also touches on military culture, training hardships, the dynamics within units post-combat tours, and the psychological impact on soldiers. The discussion covers personal encounters with violence during training, interactions with former enemies, and the profound effects of combat on soldiers' mental health.
