Our soldiers get a very raw deal - they are treated as though they are were any ordinary wage/salary earning citizens. Our government's incompetence just fills me with even more rage each day. NHS hospitals are riddled with MRSA - a patient is all too likely to come out in a worse condition than when they went in. On top of this our soldiers are left facing the wrath of patients who might hold a grudge as well. Ill-equipped in the field, ignored when they are wounded (the MOD wants to hide the extent of casualties), at risk from infection when they do enter hospital, taxed to the hilt, and open to abuse from others - I bet they didn't tell them all that when they signed up!
