“We will never forsake a fallen soldier,” he said.

If the service doesn't care for its fallen soldiers, it won't remain volunteer. If any word about poor treatment gets out, enlistments will go down. The price for peace is the same. Well paid, well trained AND well cared for volunteers, or its back to the costly mess of conscription. The services have always bragged that they; "Take care of their own". Now they have to mean it and I hope and pray that they do.
