British Legion Campaign
Hi folks,
I'm not normally one for posting links to petitions and campaigns but I really think this one deserves as wide an audience as possible. With all of us serving, ex-serving or just having an interest in the military, I'm hoping each of you will take a few moments out to read this and give your support.
The Royal British Legion has started the Broken Covenant campaign. The legion believes that our servicemen and women deserve more from their government. By commiting themselves to put their lives on the line for their country, they deserve immediate medical treatment and just compensation if they are injured.
Please sign up and support the soldiers, sailors and airmen.

Err.. my apologies... I didn't mean to say that it was already done here... I meant to say that I already signed it... I have no idea if it has been posted here before and, as you say, no harm in reminding the forgetful ones... 
Done. The RBL leads, other service charity associations must now follow. Time perhaps for RAFA to tackle this disreputable government and remind it of its duty of care to our Armed Forces with a similar public campaign?

Let's keep this one to the top please. If "DIN" does not allow of open support for the British Legion here, which it should do, it should at least allow those serving to sign its petition. If it doesn't then the MOD has indeed sunk to as yet unplumbed depths!
Thank you PPRune Central Control for making this thread a sticky. Your ever flexible interpretation for what constitutes proper content of a Military Aviation Forum shows an ability to discern woods and demonstrates the shortcomings of out tree obsessed leaders. Might I suggest that those minded to sign the British Legion Broken Covenant petition linger a while on the site. In particular I commend the posting by "Next of Kin" on the topic "Scrutiny of Service-related deaths" page at:
http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/inde...sset_id=516729
This is the testimony of one who has had the traumatic experience of losing a loved one compounded by the bureaucratic, legalistic and soulless process produced by the unholy alliance of the Law and the MOD. There is no excuse for such callous disdain. The fundamental position that the facts surrounding the death of a loved one are not the direct business of the NoK is disreputable and surely unacceptable, whether covenanted or no, OPSEC not withstanding.
