In part two of this special with Scott Meenagh, there's a special comradery and solidarity shared as Scott tells Chris about working with his brother in the paratroopers, as well as what "puts the fear of God" into the Taliban.
"In order for me to do my job as effectively as possible I need to be not expecting to come home"
These are the sacrifices service men and women make every day, particularly this former paratrooper AND Paralympian, Scott Meenagh.
