Hero paratrooper Ben Parkinson says he has 'no reason to be upset'
Hero paratrooper Ben Parkinson says he has 'no reason to be upset' about his time in the army because it would be a 'betrayal to the men who saved him'. The veteran became the most severely injured British soldier to survive the war in Afghanistan after losing both his legs and suffering brain damage when he was blown up in Helmand province in 2006. Despite not being expected to survive, Ben from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, defied the odds and went on learn to walk and talk again - before going skydiving, carrying the Olympic torch and receiving an MBE from the Prince of Wales.
