MoD acting disgracefull!!!

This makes my blood boil

The MoD (Ministry of Defence) are trying to REDUCE a couple of soldiers compensation payouts (not for the first time!)... The lads in general do not get massive payouts anyway especially when compared to private the "stupid people compensation" that we see so often in the news.

Play fair govenment - you sent the lads into harms way - now look after them and their families - you spinless cunts

they're not 'lads' - they're well paid soldiers who chose to go to war.

They may have chosen the life of a soldier, but they ain't well paid and the nation owes them under the Military Covenant. That was the deal, you do not welch on it.

As professional Soldiers they deserve professional compensation for injuries received at work.

At the tower of London theres a series of cartoons depicting the life of a fusileer. The first panel depicts the grand training, and the last depicts the soldier begging in the street.

As a 'vet' I KNOW that they are NOT well paid and fully deserve being looked after both at work and when they get home....

You may disagree and I support your right to be wrong.

Typical liberal hippie reply. Did alternet.org tell you that or did you come to that conclusion all by yourself?

If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

Funny, it actually sounded right wing to me (at least, as a liberal)

"What, you want me to bail you out for the decisions you made? Where's your personal responsibility? If you join up and then get injured in war, don't start whining about it. That's as stupid as not buying decent health care [in the USA] and then complaining when you get sick. You have to plan ahead when making your choices."

That is disgusting behaviour from the MOD. I wonder how much of the tax payers money they will waste taking this to court again. More than what the soldiers received I bet!

These guys have a contract entitling them to certain compensation from their employer.

One of the (few) proper roles of government is to see that private contracts are honored--not to change them at whim.

Instead of being so condescending at home in your mum's basement, go down to the nearest military base and really tell them off.


Then report back.
