Taleban v NHS

Sgt Paddy Caldwell was shot in the neck in Afghanistan by Taleban.

He got a blighty and not a bosh, but true to RSM Lloyd's old dictum - paras do not die without permission because the devil hates standing to attention when we get there - he pulled through.

Shipped back to the UK to Selly Oak - the centre for medical treatment for wounded where Muslim "brothers" get to piss on wounded toms because they have the guts to serve Britain - he gets MRSA which nearly finishes him off when the Taleban couldn't.

Military casualties should not be in civvy wards - and should not be treated by civvy doctors and nurses unless they are under the control of the military and answerable to them - these patients are not in for hip replacements or heart by-passes - they're in hospital because they've been shot up, blown up or otherwise injured because they are casualties of war and that demands a very different standard of care.

Time we took care of our own and veterans deserve better - they have the same rights as all of us, difference is, they put their lives on the line to make sure we have those rights in the first place.
