MoD cuts pay of SAS wounded heroes
By Ruper Hamer Defence Correspondent, sundaymirror.co.uk 21/09/2008


SAS soldiers maimed fighting terrorism are to have their pay slashed.

If they can't return to the front line, the MoD will cut the extra £40 a day they get when recruited into the elite unit.

just enquiring,if they get extra 40quid a day for transferring just how much do they earn in a week, when i hear of these sort of wages it makes my mind boggle, on saying that it dont give the mod the right to chop the blokes wages, it seems to me with this govt they hate our armed forces , they hate the ghurkas, they have more time for drug dealers than our service lads, its tommy this ,and its tommy that, and lock him up the brute, but its ,good old tommy atkins when the guns begin to shoot, never a truer word spoken , ginger jim,
