Hydraboss Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 If you think that is bad, you should see what happens to them when they are deemed no longer fit for duty due to injuries that happen while serving. What does happen to them? Give you an idea.....back in 1967 my cousin was driving a petrol truck to CFB Bordon when he swerved to avoid a head on collision. He ended up in hospital with 3rd degree burns over 75% of his body. Two or three month into his hospital stay he was told he was being discharged from the hospital because he was being discharged from the army. My uncle, his dad was a warrent officer at the time...he hit the roof and raised serious shit.....but to no end. He was released, he collected a bugger all disability pension and underwent another few years of hospital care. His life was hell. I've just been reading along, but I have this uncontrollable urge to call BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!! A person receiving 3rd degree burns to over 75% of his body COULD NOT be released in three months. Impossible. And I must state again...BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The human body cannot recover itself to a point of sufficience in that short of a timespan. Check with the University of Alberta Burn unit. I have. If you want to relay a story for impact, quit lying and tell the story as it happened.

Readjust your bullshit detectors and install new reading comprehension chips...he wasn't released from hospital...(underwent another few years of hospital care.) he was released from the army.

Topaz Posted October 10, 2006 Report Posted October 10, 2006 I can see the cut off point on this "danger pay" BUT when they come home they should be getting other benefits to cover them and their families. What benefits do they getting if they are maimed for life?? What benefits are they entitled to? IF govts don't pay these people well for thier services, then the politicians shouldn't get a rise either!! Quote
