Why do we treat our Armed Force's Men & Women in such a way, look how the U.S. treats theirs.

The point is that something is seriously wrong with our exit programmes from the military back into society



That's true but what you also have to consider is......... what type of person does the military attract?
I know countless soldiers, ex soldiers, and lots of them are/were pretty unstable individuals anyway.


Joining the army does not make you an instant hero.

Why blame the rest of the military for the circles you so obviously move around in?

My usual point AOG - serving in the forces does not constitute being a 'hero' - it's about doing your job.

The treatment was wrong - as is acknowledged, but that makes this lady a wrongly treated passenger, not a hero.
