Exactly - and those that have been accused of murdering locals in Afghanistan, are we going to let them board first too - just like showing respect to a corrupt police officer. I want to see our troops supported and looked after but I'd pay higher taxes for a proper support mechanism for former fighting men and women. I don't blame VA for this, I blame our cynical PM who's thought bubble this obviously was - just like cynically suggesting we move our Embassy to Jerusalem... not because of any policy reason, but because there just happened to be a strong Jewish block voting in Wentworth which if they lost might lose them government. The Jewish people of Wentworth saw through it.
