We're treating our people so badly!

Members of the armed forces who return from war zones after becoming severely injured, IMHO should be financially supported for life by the MOD, Government or even the UK public.

They paid the price, why can't we honour or support that following thier return?

A British soldier burnt so severely during a Taliban ambush that he "died" three times has been awarded less than £100,000 compensation.

L/Cpl Compton, a 24-year-old, from Staplehurst, Kent, would have been given £366,875 if his injuries were each paid at the full rate but Ministry of Defence rules mean he only receives the maximum amount for the worst injury.

I'm sorry, but in my mind this is unforgivable. This is only one publicised story, what of the other forces members that are in the same situation that we never hear about?

We should/could do more.
