HOW disgraceful that Guardsman Gary Taylor, bravely serving in Iraq, should not have been paid since March.
Sitting in an office in Whitehall, a Ministry of Defence spokesman says: "Mistakes do happen with pay."
Perhaps, then, he would care to tell us how often senior civil servants in the MoD have failed to receive their hefty salaries.
Or maybe how frequently the Secretary of State for Defence has had to wait for his pay cheque to arrive.
Pen-pushers and politicians, who do not brave bullets or bombs, should ensure that those who do are treated with more respect and care.

That is some inspirational stuff. Never knew that opinions could be this varied. Thanks for all the enthusiasm to offer such helpful information here.

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
