Bin men and teachers do things for the country and they dont get any particularly special treatment.
I don't wish to belittle binmen and teachers (in fact, I was a binman myself 37 years ago with Accy Corporation), but I think our brave servicemen and women deserve a little more respect than that.

The fact is, they risk their lives everyday in the service of this country. I don't agree with the current war in Iraq, but they can't pick and choose the wars they fight in. They are there to defend our country, with their lives if necessary, and as, such, they deserve to be held in the very highest regard.
