P.K. Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Tricky. Those injured in combat can stay and presumably will be able to claim benefits etc - fair enough. Those who have to leave the service because they cannot perform as expected of them as a member of the UK Armed Forces have no right to stay, claim benefit etc if discharged with less than 4 years service - harsh but probably fair, IMHO of course.

Lonan3 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Would it be too simplistic to suggest that anyone who is accepted as a member of Britain's armed forces should automatically become a British citizen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemonday Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 I think that's very good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I thought even the cheese-eating surrender-monkeys insisted on 5 years in the Legion before getting a French passport but now it's EU I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalpuppet Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 This will varey from regiment to regiment, perfect example we had was a Fijian soldier who joined the regiment and broke his back while sky diving on his weekend off. He had 8 months off and then came back to the regiment and was looking at discharge because he was non operational. They looked into what was going to happen and he was going to be deported if discharged so they kept him in the regiment in a non operational role.

Roger Smelly Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I feel sorry for the forces at the moment the general public seem to be taking it out on them over Iraq when we all know its Tony Blair who should be getting all the ill feeling. About time they brought the lads and lassy's home and let the yanks protect the oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
