Could be worse though. A couple of centries ago, the government wouldn't of payed anything towards injured soldiers.
True, but then a feeble typist (or 19th Century equivalent!) wouldn't have got anything either. That's almost better, because this 21st Century case simply demonstrates the sad chasm between the treatment that servicemen and civvies get. If the facts of the case are accurate (and I acknowledge the words of caution from Biggus and Zithro), I find it disgusting.
