Elite Special Forces soldier Jason Fox served on multiple tours in Afghanistan, spending more than three years fighting in a war that saw some of the fiercest battles in modern British military history. Afghanistan both defined Jason as a soldier and made him the man he is today. He saw friends killed and seriously injured in combat and narrowly escaped death multiple times.
