Say what you will about Donald Trump—and Lord knows we do—but when it comes to honouring soldiers, the man knows how to send a message. While Britain puts its veterans through legal purgatory for conflicts Parliament sent them into, Trump’s over there handing out bonuses to “his soldiers” like medals dipped in gold.
💼 One Country Pays. The Other Prosecutes.
This isn’t just a policy difference. It’s a full-blown moral split. On one side, America rewards those who risked everything in uniform. On the other, Britain allows ambulance-chasing lawfare to drag war heroes through years of accusations and inquiries, all for decisions made in Downing Street—not on the battlefield.
Here’s the logic, British-style:
💂♂️ Go to war for your country.
📝 Get home.
⚖️ Spend your retirement in court for doing your job.
Meanwhile, Trump steps up and says: “Thanks for your service. Here’s a bonus. You’ve earned it.”
Cue the diplomatic murmurs, pearl-clutching think-pieces, and a few dozen UK ministers nervously checking if their own country might be next to wake up and realise how badly it’s treated its own.
Britain talks a big game about “supporting the troops”—until they come home and want something inconvenient, like respect, protection, or basic dignity. The irony? The same politicians who sent them into Iraq or Afghanistan now play dumb when legal bills come due.
Trump might be chaotic, but at least he understands loyalty to those who bled for the flag.
