Yes, you can say what you like about the Americans, but the fact is that their servicemen and women are held in high esteem, Unlike here in the UK, where they are treated like (and regarded as) second class citizens.
Its well known that refugees and asylum seekers in this country are now treated infinately better than our military folk.
Shame on us all for allowing it to be so.
The saddest part is tho' that none of our very senior officers have got the balls to stand up and say NO!! Come on CAS, CDS and all the others, stand up and be counted and tell the politicians that you are NOT prepared to have YOUR men and women treated in such a disgraceful and shameful manner.
