AN ARMY veteran branded "lazy" and "drunk" was unknowingly suffering from "blown-out" eardrums after an explosion 22 years ago.
Brian Hunter, 47, joined the Army in 1997 and was caught up in a blast during a training session in spring 1999.
An MK5 explosive was allegedly hurled close to where the Black Watch soldier was standing at his camp in Kent.
Brian, from Markinch, Fife, said he was hit by the blast, thrown to the ground and he completely blacked out.
He claims that at the time, Army staff who assessed him said he was fine".
