Quite Right!! The American forces and ex-forces are looked after a lot better than the UK troops.
It is only right that after you have served your country, you should have access to facilities such as messes etc.
This brings us to one of the biggest bug bears in the forces. Why do we constantly get ripped off by NAAFI? Anyone who has served 'Down South' will know what I'm on about. Everything is vastly overpriced, usually out of date, and we are expected to pick up the extra shipping cost. Hey NAFFI, its not our fault we are here, so stop ripping us off. US forces are looked after a lot better by AAFES, who offer tax free discounted goods. It is about time that the MoD started giving us these little extras. It would help morale and retention I'm sure.
What say the fellow members?
