Look at Prince Andrew


he trained and served as a Royal Navy helicopter pilot.
That's not "**** all".


If a few years working in the armed forces was all that's
required to get a good living from the state afterwards, how
come there are so many ex squaddies living on the streets?


Because **** all of them are trained to do something as useful as that.

The airline industry has always employed lots of ex airforce pilots,
but the prospects for some goon that can only shoot people isn't
quite so good. The mercenary industry isn't quite the same employer.
