Ok-here is a post from a dear friend's link to Facebook
"Dear Prime Minister I hear you would like to freeze the pay rates for soldiers starting next year. Would you also consider cutting your own pay to save more money for our country? While you're at it, lets reduce all MP's pay too. If the people who risk their lives don't get an increase in pay, why should we continue raising pay for those who take no risks and reap the benefits? "
Sadly most of our military families are not Eton graduates, nor do they come from the money you reportedly do Mr Cameron, so I don't know as you are the best one to lead our nation at this time.
Bankers, athletes, and dope pedlars are not hit by the current depression, but nurses, teachers, and especially cops and soldiers need our mutual support financially, and to be kitted out with the protective gear they need to do their job. They need to be able to afford a family, as we all know this is not the Pony Express that hires only orphans. Blair and Bush made a lot of orphans, but then didn't take care of them as their parents might have hoped.
I would never set a price on the value of a British soldier, or any soldier, but neither would i put a cap on the cost of their rehabilitation. They had a job when you hired them, and they deserve to be fit to work when you are done with them, or to not have to fear homelessness or living in sub-standard housing conditions.
Talk is cheap, prosthetic limbs are not. Mr Cameron do you have a son? What price would you put on any of your children's or our children's heads? You claim you want to make this British culture more unified, well let's start there. Let us restate the value of a human life, and let's set the standard of care for the soldiers of the world. You owe it to the Gentles family in Scotland, and so many many more--and the number rises daily.
