You may get your information about the army from documentaries so I'll assume you know nothing as to what it is like.
Ask a soldier why they are in Afghanistan, it certainly isn't fighting for the Queen, they will tell you it's not for them to decide they are just doing their job.
The majority of them do it as they love the life and love the job, I'm not saying they aren't patriotic, of course they are but it's not the sole reason why they do it.
I've eaten the food, nutrition the body needs :haha: I can tell you haven't had to live on it.
I think you are reffering to ration packs and nutrional requirements, compare a UK one to a US one and you'll know what I'm talking about.
Don't try and tell me that an MP getting Honey roast gammon with Pease pudding for £1.65 is them making dietry sacrifice in the line of public service as it is not the case.
I'm a very well educated person and have dealt with manys a public servant.
I've dealt with MP's and MLA's and know a lot of people who work in the civil service.
I'm not saying the majority are bad at their job or corrupt.
I am saying that they aren't making any sacrifices in the line of public service that any other working person isn't doing everyday in their own job.
They have a job they are paid very well to do with a fantastic pension and great benefits, that is the reason they do what they do not some dream of serving the public, they may tell you that's why they're there but it's not the case.
Even if they do something grossly negligent all they have to do is resign their ministerial post but they're still employed as an MP.
Believe all the propaganda and spin you want, but you need a reality check

I'm not going to be so nieve and believe that you know anything about government employees. You can raise as many judgemental comments as you wish, but it's getting tiresome listening to yet more e-MP's suggestions. Please stop pretending!
If you know anything about nutrition then luxurious food does not usually equate to healthy foods. Food provided to the Army is meant to provide the nutrition the body needs, it is based purely around the essential intake. It's not just a case of cooking up luxurious food in the battlefield, it has to be compact and transportable. People join the Army by choice, most of whom from documentaries insist they are there because they want to fight for our country and the Queen.
It's called patriotism. If people are so disgusted about the way this government runs the country why not leave? You can almost guarantee you won't be as well looked after or as safe in the majority of other nations.
Anyway, at least we agree that other drugs should remain illegal.
