That was a bit irresponsible.

It's bound to happen.

It's like, wait a minute.

That actually made my PTSD worse.

Because your reward for having been kidnapped and tortured is to remove what you love doing and you're good at making documentaries.

So I felt that.

But here's a lesson I learned much later.

At that point, I was...

It's only a small community of war journalists around the world who do it for all the media.

It's about a few hundred at most.

Inevitably, I would have been sent to Syria to do ISIS because that was the next go-to.

Without doubt, I would have been.

And only recently, I looked back and thought, well, thank God I was kidnapped by the Taliban because they treated me relatively okay and I lived.

If I had gone to Syria, which I would have done 100%, I would have been

highly likely to have been kidnapped by my friend Jim Foley and tortured and beheaded by ISIS.

And that really changed things for me.

But to answer your question is, I stopped what I was doing because then I've got kids, I've put them through this once, can't do it again.

So I did take, I didn't go back to war for 10 years.

But my children are 21 now.

Yeah, there are risks in it, but I was aware I wasn't quite pushing it like I used to.
