Actually service personel have always been served poorly in this matter..By both parties across many years.
It seems that when a soldier is on the other side of the world winning battles he's a hero but as soon as he's back on home ground wounded and without work or home he's a nuisance to be shuffled away out of sight. All too many have ended up living on the streets across the last 50 odd years because of this particular hole in the social services net and because they have not always been afforded good councelling about returning to civvy street before they finish their service.It's a huge shock to single personel who've been somewhat cosseted about the realities of civilian life for 6,12,22 years by the institution that has employed them..
