The Helpful Stacker
Good point
Of course will the MoD's laywers argue that service in Iraq and Afghanistan as a member of a teeth arm constitute 'pre-arranged' as you are going to do a job which has a likelihood of requiring a bit of time on the two-way range?
But, didnt John Reid say of our troops that when they went to Afghanistan that they would probably leave in three years time without having fired a shot! So if the Defence Secretary thought it was not pre-arranged the lawers have little room to argue otherwise.
