Very cool, if true

Well, yes, indeed.

I can't seem to find the number of British service personnel involved in the Falklands War but at two combat brigades, say 5,000 people each is say 10,000 soldiers, an equal number of navy and fleet air arm personnel. Something in the region of 20,000 veterans.

Perhaps 75,000 veterans of Iraq, 25,000 from Afghanistan.

I would estimate the current non- World War 2 veteran community at perhaps 125,000. £50m a year give the Royal British Legion £400 a year per veteran to spend. Which is on top of NHS and military hospital support, existing pension arrangements and so on.

That's a significant difference to the number of veterans from World War 2.

Something seems amiss.
