Tigs2,
I completely agree with you, as Dan so very effectively put it,
Honour the Covenant
The picture above, whilst being tragic, I feel effectively illustrates the sacrifice made by servicemen and women to make this country free, something which our current powers that be have no concept of and the fact that they are now being betrayed by this current government is a national disgrace.
We are very lucky indeed to have people who are prepared to do what they do and are full of the values of self-sacrifice, selflessness and decency, despite the way that they are treated.
