I've seen many things in my career, but I had never witnessed the fall of an entire country.

I gave him a thumbs-up emoji, but I was consumed by anxiety."Carnage" was not a word I'd wanted to hear. What would happen to all the people relying on me?

Those awful scenes would soon be screened around the clock on TV news and I felt sick knowing that my wife Nicky would see them. I could no longer play down the actual horror we were facing. I dreaded having to update her later. The last thing I wanted was to put her through more pain and worry. After a week of not knowing if I would make it, the death letter morphed into a fairly heavily-worded email, so I could fit everything in. I had saved it as a draft. If the Taliban attacked us, I could simply open my phone, hit"send" and it would get to Nicky, hopefully before I was gone. Thankfully, I never had to send that message.I have been to many countries and operated in many war zones in my career as a Royal Marine Commando, and then as a leader of security operatives.
