The Armed Forces Covenant is an important issue to all who served.
Anyone non-military or ex military but based in safer climes who comments on this thread should start by saying:
"I went to work this morning and knew for a fact that I was coming home to my family this evening, but............."
If you served in a shooting war or, in my case, flew aeroplanes that crashed regularly, it certainly focussed the mind. I attended too many funerals over the years.
They died serving their Country and Her Majesty, and I for one am grateful.
In that context comment away.
