I admit I have a very mixed view on this subject, whilst not putting down what they do in fighting for their country I believe the underlying problem is often caused by their own actions. I work with a lot of ex armed forces from all three services, the navy and airforce tend to differ to those serving in the army. The ex navy people who I work with certainly got their priorities right by buying a house when they were young not long after joining the navy and the airforce guys seem to be in a similar situation. The majority of ex squaddies I work with by their own admission bought flash cars and had a great time pi**ing what was left against the wall.

So am I right in assuming this is mainly affecting ex army persons and not the other forces as much?
