Former Royal Commander slams government for treatment of the Navy

A former Royal Navy Commander has slammed the government for its treatment of the Navy.

Speaking to GBNews Chris Parry, Former Royal Navy Commander, explained: "Every single government has treated life at sea as if it's just another job.

"I can tell you now a qualified able seaman is getting the same as somebody who's flipping burgers at McDonald's and yet is expected to represent his country at an international level to high standards in a really tough environment.

"They're doing a great job there out at sea and we treat it just like another job. I was challenged by the CEO of a leading store recently about it just being a job like any other.

"I said, well, you know, your employees aren't paid, are they, to defend the knicker counter and possibly get aimed at and killed at the same time? It's not just another job."
