FODPlod,
...instead of sleeping in a bed made up by a chambermaid in an Italian resort hotel for two weeks at a time and then complaining about the receipt of 'actuals' for restaurant meals and the lack of a free daily newspaper and internet access.
Where have I mentioned any of those things? We are certainly not operating from anything like this, nor are we receiving anything but LSA.
However, whether you are jollying around the world or on ops, you will wake up from the same bed (even if it is shared by someone else), you will receive the same standard of food (at no extra cost to yourself) and you will do the same job in the same place of work. So effectively, nothing has changed for you.
Maybe you should pay the difference to the people who are out of pocket as you are effectively at war from your own bed?!
