...but there is nothing we can do, so the petition was a waste of time.

Why am I surprised. This government simply doesn't care.

No British government has ever cared about its servicemen. Ask any poor Tom who served in NI or the Feklands. If I recall, they were paid more for being enroute than they were for fighting in sheep **** and misery and some of the Argie kit was Gucci in comparison. As for looking after the damaged when all the hoo ha had died down. I can't see my screen for the venom I am spitting now.
