RAF accused of ‘betrayal’ over funeral for hero


I was saddened to read this story in the Scotsman, but it typifies the thinking in place nowadays on Iraq. Whilst I might understand the MOD not paying during times of Peace for Flowers and Refreshments, when there is such large scale loss of life in a War area then exceptions should be made.

To ask a widow or parents to pay for such items is beyond belief, but it appears this is just the tip of the iceberg in relation to war deaths at the moment.

The inquest backlog that was supposed to be cleared shortly after June still existed in October and appears to be getting no better.

This is just a couple of examples of the shoddy treatment our Armed Forces are getting from the government that falsely led them into this conflict.
