Now She wants £ half a million

WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR THE UP KEEP OF AN EX FEMALE SERVICE Lance Cpl.

 

 

When one joins the Army you are told in no uncertain way that you serve the Queen and country.

I agree with the former senior officer in that this Lance Cpl has betrayed all women soldiers who believe in duty.

 

In this day and age there is no excuse for being pregnant, it just show the total disregard this young women had for the service.

Now claiming a massive sum of money, that other service personal who have received injuries do not get this amount.  I could say a lot about this but it would not be polite.

She should not get a penny, as the Army had offered her choice postings with care provided, and she turned it down.

 

It was her choice to have a child, The Army is not a child minding service, we are a fighting force, and that is what these civilians understand.

She left the army and that should be the end, she had a choice and she had a child, where is the father?  I suppose she is claiming all the benefits on offer.

 

She has done such a disservice to the Army, should we turn away all females of child bearing age, think of that young service women who was awarded the MC, if she had not had the guts to go to the aid of an injured soldier he would have most likely have died.

This person left the army her choice so there should be no compensation.

How much has she received from the news papers for her story and picture?
