Hope you don't need saving then if it puts them at risk

I clearly said I appreciate what they do but lets not forget why they do it, cold hard facts.

This thread is so far off the mark it's unreal, it's a perfect example of why this country is in the toilet. Battle lines are drawn and not an inch given either way, even facts are denied or excused with hyperbole or just straight up ranting.

Plenty came back into front line for the rest of us and that is called running towards the fire to save people because that is what drs,nurses and carers etc do,they want to help despite the risks to themselves

And I appreciate it, let me put it another way. When I joined the Army in the early 80's I knew there was a possibility I would end up in Northern Ireland which at the time was horrendous (I did two tours which I wouldn't wish on anyone after what I saw and went through). What I didn't know was that I would go on to do two Wars in Iraq (equally horrendous), and 4 tours in Afghanistan (beyond words), I volunteered at 16 as the alternative would have been a shit life. The NHS migrants volunteered before the Pandemic, I volunteered before Iraq and Afghanistan. My choice and I had to deal with it seeing mates getting killed.

How is you becoming a squaddie got anything to do with whether migrant NHS workers get free healthcare or not?

It was an analogy between my conversation with Karen, and I was not a Squaddie I was a professional soldier.

I appreciate what you did having been a falklands wife but I don't see how that is the same unless when you were in a foreign country you would have had to pay for treatment if you got injured

My point was I knew the rules before I joined, so did they. Lets not detract from the fact that we both appreciate what they have done for us.
