The Armed Forces are treated like shit when they are discharged at the end of their service.

It appears that summary hearings before commanding officers (untrained in law and without the equivalent of a magistrates clerk for advice) are conducted without legal representation for the accused, who has probably been "advised" to take their punishment and get it over quickly instead of a Court Martial (which can't pass a higher sentence for a particular offence than the summary hearing). It's always better to have proper legal advice and representation. Are servicemen and women properly made aware of their rights under the Armed Services Act 2006? It's just as important as the Geneva Conventions.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358349301959327747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-43965070813770008282012-07-27T14:20:15.946+01:002012-07-27T14:20:15.946+01:00This is an example of the British Establishment at...This is an example of the British Establishment at its most craven.<br /><br />That is all.pa_broon74https://www.blogger.com/profile/01915208411019621104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-14914723729172294632012-07-27T13:40:21.216+01:002012-07-27T13:40:21.216+01:00Compare & contrast the responses (likely) to b...Compare & contrast the responses (likely) to be given to athletes abusing our hospitality by wanting asylum before the Oh-lympics have even started, to brave soldiers who have already put their lives on the line to defend decisions made by stupid British politicians.<br /><br />The UK Border Agency will have counted the athletes + retinues 'in' for the Oh-lympics, I wonder how many will be they'll actually count 'out'?<br /><br />It won't be 100%!Joe Publichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829909061904690380noreply@blogger.com
