Sometime ago now, Walkon Crafters and many others discussed the News that our wounded service personel would be looked after, at the time we and others pointed out that we forcast a "cut off" at some point. For example if a wounded returning soldier required a limb, they would recieve the latest available, we stated that this was NOT INDEFINATE and at sometime, they would be put on the same as a normal citizen and be delt the same, we were told that this would not happen.... as we owed a dept to these people... Well read on.. as reported in many papers today... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/betrayal-of-our-wounded-veterans-i-served-my-country-then-they-turned-their-backs-8633611.html
