INJURIES SUSTAINED IN CONFLICT

The Wounded, and how they treated by Politicians.

This puts me in mind when I took a badly burnt pilot out to tea for the first time, this was part of our treatment of such patients, to give them confidence of meeting people.

ON entering this tea house, oh rather posh it was in East Grinstead not far from the hospital, sitting down and ordered our tea, when some women in a very loud voice said 'it should not be allowed it puts one off ones food', I knew who that remark was made to, so I just turned round and said my god it is awful, and to the women have you looked in the mirror and you will know what I am talking about. Following that remark not another word was said, but I had a job keeping that young man sitting down, as he was all for getting out.

How do you think these young people returning injured and disfigured, just looking in hope that some one will smile and speak with out insult, yes I know these injuries are horrible, and some can not look at them as they fell sick, but stop and think of what they have to go through, some give insults others run away. But just remember they are the same people under those scars.

When these politicians go on these visits, they do not go out side in to the danger zone oh any too precious.

The thing that really gets to me that these people have never been in a conflict area, there are one or two who have served their country and been in conflict, but they are not in the MOD or behind that desk.

Dear me when the words from grieving mother hit home, they run for cover.

All have plenty to say when interviewed, but unable to put into practice, and provide the equipment, lets face it the person who is responsible for this is making millions speaking, good question on what how to run away from conflict, just send in the troops.

There has been written by a Staff Sergeant Andy McFarlane a poem on the return of the special Hero's, where a whole town stands in silence and pay their respects, if not go out and buy the news paper (Daily Mail ), then tell me if you do not weep for them.

When you think that we have no controls of who comes into this country, and the politicians say that we are fighting to save us from the terrorist, do they think we are so stupid to believe that story, no wake up they are all ready he here working in areas with all are details, have they been vetted.

Why have the ones who speak only of destroying this country allowed to stay, and even be paid benefits having never done a days work in their lives.

Stop all this payment out and supply the equipment that is required by the troops.

Also stop all benefits to those who have just arrive and expect had outs and medical care.

Then pay the compensation to the troops, as their right.
