I suppose that is one way of making sure our Veterans don't end up on the street!

Originally posted by d000hg View PostThat this is how they define it today neither supports nor contradicts Paddy's assertion about the origin of the term, in fact his whole point is that the modern definition has changed to what you posted.
As my post was in 2022 two years after the Government changed the definition, mine is correct and Paddy is an old whiney fart!

There is no requirement for involvement in armed conflict or even attacking anything more dangerous than a pan of Gravy. Uncle Albert probably counts.

Even those that haven't pointed a rifle at an enemy may have worse prospects returning to Civvy street, this is why the Armed forces covenant was launched.

As for the original post .... why shouldn't these pilots maxiise their income if someone is willing to pay them? The UK government could make a counter offer, but instead they leak it to a red top to vilify these pilots.
And let's face it, the risk of british pilots going head to head with chinese pilots is pretty low, to zero. I'm guessing we've never had an incidence of a chinese fighter pilot engaging with a british plane?

Are China really hostile, or are they just another bogey man that our governments create to keep us sheep-like? I'm trying to think when China have threatened us directly?I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
