I think the comparisons with combat injuries are irrelevant. The woman in question was quite clearly victimised and the Mod should be ashamed for it's treatment of her. She did have a form of redress and that was through the courts - she won her case and received compensation. It doesn't appear to have been her fault - she joined to serve her country not to be bullied.
Clearly members of the armed forces have died as the result of bullying in the past - should it be allowed to continue? The enemy is supposed to be on the battlefield not at work.

The forces personnel who have and are suffering from combat injuries deserve our support - it shouldn't however be from comparison to what other amounts people get for unrelated events. It should be from compassionate and sensitive evaluation of each person's needs and not pegged at a set level.
