Calm down, I'm just saying if they get special treatment so should others who risk their lives daily for the benefit of those who don't.
They are not hero's in the true sense of the word look it up and see for yourself

Mainly because almost all of them don't risk their lives every day, they are stationed all over the world as well as in the UK in secure area's.
You want people who risk their lives every day ? try Firemen, many police officers, those dealing with people with severe mental illness......
Oh and the definition of a hero is not someone doing what they should but someone going beyond what a normal person would.
I don't begrudge special treatment for those injured either physically or mentally but to lump them all as "hero's" is not right.

Considering that career choice can involve putting one's life on the line, I don't think it's quite the same as most other career choices..

Great start, but what about the other heroes who have seen their pay and terms cut to the bone such as Nurses, Police, Doctors, Prison Officers, Firefighters etc... Hot anyway OP...

They are hero's whether you like it or not. Great deal and more similar deals should be made available.

Your heroes maybe, not mine.
Before you start moaning at me, I am ex-forces myself, it was just a job I did before I woke up to the reality of who I was fighting for and what I was defending.
