It won't..it's the only sop that this government can offer for the poor attitude towards the services since they came to power.They have underfunded/under resourced them going into war zones,they have cut back on the services provided to service men and women and over utilised them in sorting out a variety of jobs for NATO and the UN.Our armed services are over stretched and finding it hard to cope with all that they have been asked to do in recent years.It's going to take more than offering to name a bank holiday they were going to give us anyway.
