To be fair SFFP. TTN does have a valid point here, and, whilst the NHS is here for everybody, those who have incurred physical / mental injuries as a direct result of serving should, at the very least, be looked after once they leave.

Those who seem to make the most noise about benefits ( various) however would also seem to be those who have not quite ( and possibly never will) been able to make the transition to Mr and probably also use their previous rank in civilian life when ever possible.
