Finally - Military given better deal
OK, this is how the Moroccan military sorted it. I hope the British Forces don't have to resort to similar tactics...
Moroccan army promised better deal after protests | Reuters 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. |
I suspect they might be a little disappointed by the legislation put in place to give them these guarantees. Look how well the Military Covenant is working!

I can certainly nominate several people that should set fire to themselves.... :hmm:
