Soldiers lives worth less than a thumb
Read in a recent article:
"A typist who strained her thumb while working for the RAF is to be paid almost half a million pounds - more than 8 times what a soldier could expect for losing his leg.
The unnamed civilian developed a repetative strain injury while inputting data. She sued the MoD and has been awarded £484,000.
A soldier on losing a lg is eligable for compensation of £57,000."
Surely this money should have been put towards military charities for wounded soldiers and their families.
This is pretty sickening in my eyes.
