This will be a completely different argument but this is not a personal attack to you. .just generalising. .. People make decisions to sign on the dotted line, no one forced the hand to sign the contract to enter the army. Soldiers are there to fight for our country they know this before they join. It is a job that had been chosen by the individual. Some people choose to work in an office. .. they could die crossing the road in the morning trying to get to work. I wouldn't expect an administration assistant to get the same salary or privilages as a MD... the same applies in the army. However if we start a debate on the age they join and the lack of equipment they get I would stand behind the argument 100%.

I believe your statement would bring a tear to a glass eye!
Yes it was their choice to join, a selfless commitment to their country and their children should not be penalised.
I invite you to come and live a month in my shoes and see if you feel the same.
Just because an officer has a degree behind them certainly doesn't make them a better soldier,
But when my husband gets commissioned from starting at the very bottom of the ladder I will come back and still say jocks and officers children should be given the same educational opportunities.
I understand it's not a personal attack but I have an opinion and this all started because I corrected someone who was stating something that was untrue
