I always wonder why countless news stories, from a variety of countries, always feel it necessary to include "Army Veteran" or "Former Serviceman" in the headline.
So what? That makes him special? I think not.
While I understand your opinion, I think a lot of returned servicemen get a little disappointed when they realize that their selfless service to their country is not worth a pinch of *** to government or country.
However rules is rules.
True. I object to the hypocrisy of the media pretending it did.
