Pensions and Tax lobbying
The government ought to remove taxation completely from all servicemen and women for the rest of their lives as a sign of the gratitude of the nation for them risking their lives. This should be passed to their families and children for one generation.
Also they ought to make sure that no service personnel have to pay for services they don't receive. And when they are old the pension for them should be raised to 1.5 times the average tax free.
