Totally understand the anger. A good part of my schooling was under Scottish Catholic priests (the Holy Ghost Fathers) in Nairobi, Kenya, and thus I totally comprehend your ire. Totally justified actually. I hope what you say is true, because when I was last there (last March, in London for a PE function) I saw a lot that wasn’t very heartening. The British soldier is a good soldier, however any good soldier requires positive political will, wide public support, and robust understanding as to what the soldier provides to the country (be it by toil, coin, or blood). All the best to you and yours.
