Their move is in protest at the closure of a centre that helps them cope with war injuries or trauma. The Forward Edge Of Battle Centre (FEBA) in Hamilton provides vital help to traumatised or injured ex-servicemen.

How the public have been suckered into thinking that politicians care about former soldiers.
They do not, they never have and they never will.

When Joe Public started clamouring for veterans to indicate themselves by wearing the insulting Veterans Badge, those veteran who could see an insult were sidelined and ignored. Eventually you will see all veterans being sidelined and ignored - even more than they are today.
