I'm sorry but I think they have every right to strike, they job they do can be f'ing dangerous, and sometimes they get very little thanks for it sometimes, I know for sure I wouldn't want to deal with half the stuff they see. and before anyone says it I am not saying the Army or any other forces have it easy, I know for a fact you don't.
They want the money they deserve, and yes they signed up for the job knowing what it was about and they things they may see, but so do squaddies
