You have not corrected anything, instead have been corrected.
You incorrectly suggested that I had jumped to a conclusion about being under-resourced - I didn't.
You incorrectly stated that I thought it more plausible that their communications systems were outdated or compromised - I didn't.
You incorrectly stated that I had a 'predilection to blame lack of government funding' - I didn't.
You incorrectly suggested that I was arguing a €1,000 compensation per person is somehow not compensation - I argued no such thing.
As for calling you daft, it was in the context of your question asking what in the Defence Acts or individual contracts states that deployments are for six months only.
That was a daft question in my opinion.
You have stated that soldiers are told the expected dates of return. I would assume that their families are told too?
Here is some material about family support for families with serving members abroad
http://www.military.ie/overseas/family-support/
Somewhat more nuanced in recognizing the issues of members serving abroad and their families at home than your previous 'observations'
They're already getting a compo payment, and the families are wheeling their 'distraught' children out in front of the media looking for more, likening it to Christmas being cancelled.
The commitment to payment of compo, and families demanding more would suggest the opposite.
So im only interested in one thing. That this compensation payment for members of the Irish defence forces serving abroad, who are unduly delayed on return home to their families through matters unrelated to their commitment to serve as soldiers, is fair and reasonable.
It certainly does not amount to a scam or anything like it.
