Armed Forces Covenant 'Law'

[Manandboy]

Value?

Ghostnav, IHMO the only group likely to benefit from a half-a*s*d, rushed and arguably cynical attempt to capture anything as nebulous as this in law will be the lawyers. As soon as it's in black and white councils/unions/Uncle Tom Cobley et al will be able to argue that it infringes their rights etc.

Look how unsuccessful and time-consuming trying to quantify the "output" of the Armed Forces has been. Some of the issues (indeed most) that seem to dominate the failure of the "covenant" could be included in existing legislation (eg education, healthcare) Trying to work up a separate "law" to run in parallel is a very tall, and arguably wasteful, order.
