Forgive me but why do these 'gentlemen' who just happened to be in the combat area of Afghanistan at the time of a major offensive have any claim on the UK? We didn't incarcerate them and were kind enough to fly them home.
If they do make a claim perhaps the cost of their air transport should be deducted from any award.
Hope the sods were made to wait at South Cerney for a few days for no apparent reason!
