From The Mirror article
Despite 14 years' service in the armed forces, officials have told Cpl Rai he has insufficient links to the UK to get a visa
Once again it seems that military service is not considered by civil servants to be deserving of respect. They are scared that if they let this man into the country for the Falklands remembrance ceremonies he will be try to get medical treatment on the NHS. So what?? He has done more for this country than some of the people the FO grant visas to.
