Mick, the so-called 'covenant' between the government and the military has been so completely and utterly broken by this government that it's no longer worth the paper it was written on - if it were ever written at all!
Definitions:
1. A binding agreement; a pact.
2. Law
a. A formal sealed agreement or contract.
b. A suit to recover damages for violation of such a contract.
3. In the Bible, God's promise to the human race.
So surely as with any covenant (even a verbal one), there is a penalty to be extracted when one side breaks it?
Therefore, can we not demand compensation in the form of wages (through the AFPRB), as recompense for the lack of improvements which were promised us - in other words, isn't it time for a big hike in the X Factor - and I'm not talking about Simon Cowells trouser's either!
We are fighting 2 wars after all!
