Our soldier's deserve a better pay package than what they are currently doing. There are plenty of other government jobs out there that pay alot better for example, traffic warden gets paid £20,000p.a, school teachers (starting off at) £24,000, fire service (starting off at) £24,000. British soldier starts off at £16,000 and puts his/her life at risk to defend this country so the likes of the teachers can go on strike demanding they want more money because its hard teaching kids, for the police service personnel wanting compensation for having stones thrown at them and being away from home for three days during the London riots and the government gives in. These soldiers go out and teach the afghan army how to defend their country and some of these are turning around and shooting our soldiers, they go out for a patrol in afghanistan and getting rpg's bullets and ied's fired at them and are away from home for at least 6 months at a time. Teachers, police, fire service are all getting pay rises then our soldiers deserve one as well. These soldiers do not threaten to go on strike or complain about their wages they get on with their job but I will stand up for these soldiers and get them a fair pay package because would the prime minister, mps etc go out to war at a risk of not coming back for the high wages they are on now? Of course not. Please sign to show your support and get the right package for our boys
