Concern has been expressed from all corners as to whether we provide enough after-care for our military personnel, who are overstretched and over there. Retired military top brass, decommissioned ranks and embedded journos have all weighed in with their opinion, while it seems the homes provided for them when back in Blighty are even worse than the bunkers they find themselves inhabiting when on combat duty.

A cheap pastiche of Philip Zec's wartime masterpiece of understatement.
