Shameful the way the UK Government treats the Armed Forces.

Particularly shameful the way it treats the Ghurkas.

These men deserve nothing short of full UK citizenship if they want it. Regardless of where they settle after they leave the Army they should receive a full and equal Pension the same as any other soldier. These men fight for our country and we treat them like dirt.

Yet more proof that the Military Covenant has been well and truly broken.

So wrong.
