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.

I wasn't saying they shouldnt be given respect, I said I think the honour of the job is enough for them anyway.
Bin men have a dangerous job and these days teachers have a dangerous job aswell.
The services right now arent doing something direct for our country, theyre helping another who dont have their own decent services. Hence my point that the reward should be from the country theyre helping and the respect off us.
If people perhaps stop trying to pick fault with what i'm saying they'll read it properly and understand the intention of what im saying.
The question was for opinions on rewards and I gave it, I didnt say the army was not worth rewarding at all.
