All the military wants is fairness, a good wage to reflect the effort and sacrifice that they put in (and that’s not when they’re on ops, when the hours and the pain really go through the roof), not the warm fuzzy knowledge that the state is funding a few more cottage industry endeavours and slapping a lick of paint in the unit crèche.

Oh, and a body to represent its interests that isn’t supplicant, toothless, spineless and impotent.
