A decade after returning from Iraq, Our World meets a group of former US soldiers still struggling to adjust to life back home. The BBC filmed with them in Baghdad in 2007 at a time of intense violence, and has tracked them down to find out how they've adjusted to civilian life. We discover they've been facing new struggles with PTSD, alcohol, marital breakup and a wider society that doesn't understand what they went through. Mark Urban re-connected with them in September. This film has some graphic images which some viewers may find upsetting.
