I'm not sure what all the Military vets go through in the UK besides the common issues of injuries (both mentally and physically), but our Veterans here are facing a lot of issues. Our VA is a flipping JOKE! We are a Military Family. My Husband is a Marine and Sheriff's Deputy, our oldest Son was in the Marines for 4 yrs, got his Bachelor's degree when he got out, and is now in the Army. Our 20 yr old is a Marine and Sheriff's Deputy, and our 17 yr old is going into the Air Force. (we also have a 13 yr old Son and 8 yr old daughter). So we are very aware of the issues they face. I'm HIGHLY suspect of HER interest in doing ANYTHING for our Military. That's so opposite of her liberal feminist views of the past. She's always leaned on the side of criticism of our Military and Law Enforcement. Maybe Harry changed herInside the express article it says...
''It is said they want to put the military at the center of their charity efforts.
The couple reportedly want to focus on issues like medical care and homelessness for veterans and injured servicemen, both in the UK and the United States.
They would be hoping to launch the charity in the coming weeks.''
Just a couple of comments...Aren't there already lots of charities that focus on issues like these? Like Help the Heroes, or the British Legion? Wouldn't it be better to put their efforts behind existing charities rather than starting a brand new one?
And I thought the issues faced by ex military personnel in the UK and US would be different? As regards things like homelessness and medical care via the NHS etc.. I am sure there are some similarities around injuries and mental health issues...but...other issues are going to be completely different. So why link military personnel from these two countries? OK so the answer is obvious, re Meghan and Harry, but it makes as much sense as linking medical care and homelessness for ex military personnel in the UK and Russia?
The UK and USA are 2 seperate countries...not directly linked, even if they do often work together via NATO etc.
