The fact of the matter is that the armed forces have a large amount of support from the population of the UK but there is no one who is focusing this support into action.
Headlines in the papers highlighting the appauling treatment of those that have been hurt in action is all very well but this publicity adds up to nothing without someone focusing this public support into political action.
I think that it has to be worth the £30 punt to see what happens, afterall the alternative is to do nothing.
