When our country sends our service men and women in to conflict zones, they the service personnel expect to have their families and themselves cared for in a situation where the service personnel are injured or killed.
In today's Daily Telegraph I read that those who have been wounded in the line of serving our country are to be booted out of the services, on the grounds of not being able to perform military tasks. This new tactic will fly in the face of a previous promise made by the former head of the Army, Sir Richard Dannatt ( the army general who came in to advise David Cameron when he was leader of the opposition), who said those injured on operations could remain in the forces. Is this yet another U turn? If it is, it isn't in my name, nor should it be in your name, we need to ensure that our Member of Parliament knows our views and raise this new policy in Parliament, regardless of whatever political stance you may have on Iraq and Afghanistan.
