Simple really...

Every benefit and privilege that is heaped upon the sick, lame, lazy, (illegal or not) immigrant, politician, pikey and criminal leeches must be offered freely to all servicemen and their immediate families. Each service is to form a unit of SNCO's and WO's* who's task it is to know the entire benefits system and is to monitor servicemen and their families to ensure that they are all enjoying everything they are entitled to. That way, you wouldn't need to worry about paying them.

* One wouldn't want Officers who may be "career focused" to be able to be pressured into "cost savings"... We all know what happened to airworthiness...

I hope they address the main issue. Soldiers should not be sent to fight wars based on lies. When you sign on the dotted line for Queen and country, it is on the assumption that if you have to give your life, it is for a just and noble cause, and not some bell-end's ego trip.
I'm uncertain if sending troops into combat operations requires and act of Parliament which would then require the Assent of Her Majesty but maybe, since we all signed up for "Queen Elizabeth the Second, her Heirs and Successors" and not said "bell end", the act of sending her men and women into harms way should also require Royal Assent... Just a thought...
