To be fair if they're able bodied they're treated the same as you and I are by the local authority. They don't get negative points because they come from the forces.
If you've been in the army (without children*) for several years where's the money gone? Why weren't they saving for their live out of the army?
*obviously if they have kids the the money will have gone to them, but in my eyes if you have a family you shouldn't be out there risking their lives surely?

How is that different to any other able bodied person on the list?
I'm not being funny but why should being in the forces bump you up the list?
The system is out of line but not just for service men (AND WOMEN).
