UK Armed Forces have always been treated unfairly they don’t have anyone to fight for them be it pensions , pay rises, accommodation, working hours I retired in 1991 the working conditions of a soldier were disgraceful compered to that of the other services police , fire , prison they all had unions who represented them we did even have Health and Safety it was a case of suck it up ! In the mid 80s I was posted to the USA where I served with US Forces and boy how they were looked after was nothing short of amazing compered to UK Forces .
