  Most at risk are those who have been repeatedly exposed to heavy weapons, including mortars, some shoulder-launched anti-tank weapons, 50-calibre rifles and machine guns, or explosive charges.

  So nothing really specific to British troops. Any military would be exposing their soldiers to similar weapon systems. We’re the ones who are being up front about the long term effects.
