Lets just say im privvy to more information than anyone on here 
they need to keep morale high some how don't they - just tell the squaddies the end of the world is nigh and they will keep on fighting, while the government back home slowly takes away their benefits and perks
my dad spent 40+ years of his life in the armed services, passed the para's aged 18 (youngest ever at the time) then fought in borneo, malaya, falklands, ni etc for him to be treated like a piece of turd on your shoe when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor during his 36th year in service
the subsequent decade long battle with army pension services to get what he was rightly deserved, only came to conclusion about a month ago, 4 years since he passed away...
i have great respect for our servicemen and women i just wish those that send them in to battle have the same
