OK, this is how the Moroccan military sorted it. I hope the British Forces don't have to resort to similar tactics...

Morocco's King Mohammed promised Tuesday to improve conditions for serving and retired military personnel following veterans' protests and recent cases of soldiers burning themselves to death.
A cabinet meeting chaired by the king adopted a draft law "defining, clarifying and strengthening basic guarantees for the military" and covering soldiers' legal, material and social rights, a statement carried by the official MAP news agency said.
Last week a soldier died after setting himself on fire in protest at a lack of housing, one week after an army veteran killed himself in the same way.
A 2008 U.S. diplomatic cable, leaked by Wikileaks, described Morocco's army as being plagued by corruption, an inefficient bureaucracy, poor education, and vulnerable to radicalization within its ranks.
