It's wearing the wristlets in uniform that has been banned.

The flip side might be that if we were to endorse every good cause (stand fast the once a year we wear remembrance poppies to acknowledge the loss of millions in two great wars) we'd look like a bunch of Glastonbury freaks with uniform just visible.

Surely everybody who wears uniform is, by their being in the military, a supporter of H4H? and Combat Stress.... and BLESMA.... and and and and.....

Do a Google and find out how many military related charities there are.

Get a grip fellas and focus your attention on the important stuff. Unless there's someone out there who thinks that a soldier maimed and helped by BLESMA is less worthy than one helped by H4H?

We are a disciplined service. Part of that discipline is uniformity. Becoming advertising placards is not what we're about. H4H gets massive publicity and focus from the UK Forces already. We do other very well meaning ex-service charities a disservice by latching onto the one that's in vogue, no matter how fantastic the care it delivers.
