Veterans Affairs - UK

A brilliant letter from a Parachute Regiment Officer to the current Veterans Minister. I particularly enjoy the calling out of veterans in the Labour Party who support the party line, which is so clearly not commensurate with serving the veteran community.

Pick a side.

Look who has surfaced. This looks remarkably like Former founder and CEO of Forgotten Veterans UK, the charity that closed down because of his behaviour. He is now speaking on behalf of all Veterans apparently. I will leave it up to you to decide whether that is the case.

Shout out to anyone that knows anything about army recruitment these days. Got a lad struggling to join because he needs a doctors letter about fitness to join. Any ideas??

Just spotted this. The lawyers have taken their sweet old time, probably too busy aiding enemy combatants to sue our brave soldiers for doing their job. Now we know if the Government were looking after both our serving and Veterans then there would be no opening for these schisters.

What do you think? Comment below.

Office for Veterans' Affairs what do you think. Os this an indictment of the work that has been left undone and still yet to do?
