People are clamouring for army personnel who are being detailed to guard the Olympic venues to be given bonuses. Given the choice of:
- being in Afghanistan and dodging Taliban bullets, or
- herding tourists in London and receiving a hot meal every day,
That said, if the soldiers are having to give up leave to perform these duties, then by all means give them a bonus; similarly if they are returning from theatres of war to be dismissed as part of the MoD cuts.
