It is an appalling way to treat anyone, let alone battle-weary troops. Ten quid says that any one of those people involved would moan like h*ll if his Easyjet flight to Malaga was 5 minutes late or if any other part of the service was a fraction below par, adding: 'Of course, I have to move hundreds of battle-weary troops every day swiftly and efficiently.......blah, blah.' Tragic.
