From being a thread about the state of accommodation this now appears to have degenerated into an inter-service slanging match to point the finger at some alleged and/or perceived poor housekeeping.

Shall we try and put up a united front against the politicians who created the conditions for the Armed Forces of the UK to get into such a state? Or shall we, as usual, try and score points against another service?

Yes, there are servicemen/women who don't attempt to live the way they should. But when you're given a doss house in lieu of a quarter/SLA I'd not be too keen on wasting time/money on the pit either.

The point of the matter is that the govt. wouldn't allow prisoners to live in half of the places we're asked to, and then they have the nerve to make people pay for the privilege. What sort of society treats those who have serve their country worse that those who have wronged the whole of society?
