If we leave aside those who have suffered - physically or otherwise - due to their service, is the prevalent view amongst ex-military that they should be treated differently from the rest of the population ?
Absolutely not.
HOWEVER, as someone who has an ongoing medical condition as a
direct result of my service, I (for one)
absolutely resent having to pay for the Meds.
Govt put me in harms way (which caused the problem), ergo Govt should bloody pay to put it right.
