In part three of my epic conversation with Brian Turner, we begin by discussing how the Soldier Poet bears witness,  ----more----and how ideas of complicity distinguish this from other kinds of war writing.  We then moved on to:* what inspired Turner to write about war * the stories being told by Iraqis about the war * the war as perceived by the Generals and soldiers on the ground * Mosul, the media and bearing witness * how the war will be assessed by historians * drones, video games and technology * war films and the reality of film * war, boredom and the intensity of the moment * how poetry investigates the moment * suicide and stress of war * what Turner can and can't talk about * 'the war has a tombstone over it' * why the Iraq war has not ended * Turner's own return home * did you suffer any post-traumatic stress * 'If you're going to send people off to war, they are going to come back with baggage' * Veterans in need of help * how we treat our veterans reflects the health of our nation
