RAF typist who hurt thumb is awarded eight times more than soldier who lost leg

Story here.

'A Royal Air Force typist who injured her thumb at work is to be paid almost half a million pounds by the Ministry of Defence.
...
It is eight times more than a soldier would receive for losing a leg and almost double the amount he could expect if he lost both legs.
...
The woman, believed to be in her 20s, developed a repetitive strain injury while typing computer data.

She claimed it left her unable to work and caused her to become depressed, and she started legal action against the MoD.'

I hope this case will have the effect of males not joining up,by this time they should have learned their lesson,they are treated purely as cannon fodder and in this society being treated cheaply is not manly.There are tens of thousands of eligible women,let them go to war on the front line.I bet that conditions will improve 1000%.

what a crybaby.

i got an exacto knife (not sure on the actual name but it's a short, really thin and sharp blade) pierced THROUGH my thumb all the way to the bone (mostly because the model was a POS and opened by itself in my pocket).

i was annoyed more than anything. i didn't sue my old workplace (though i did suggest they get improved models) or anything. i took care of my wound so it was disinfected and protected then i went back to work like nothing happened.

hell, some guy at my current job almost ripped his hand apart with a vegetable knife and i wouldn't even know about it if he didn't tell me (he sounded almost casual about it too).

neither i or the other guy got money for it.

that woman should STFU.

1.They do not fight in combat. During the Vietnam war, men would rest from compat by getting a few weeks doing some clerical work. This does happen in Iraq. These men are over-worked because support roles are held by females.

2.Though men make up the vast majority of soldiers injured, its the female soldier that has more value. This ubsurd story is a prime example.

3. FYI..Kim gandy wants US goverenment to impliment pap-smear tests, funded abortion, and monthy breast exmaminations for the women serving in iraq (actually serving in a comfortable office) Note to Gandy: This is a war! Are tampons more important than body armor?

She is a civilian employee of the RAF. She isn't even in uniform.

It was also found upon further investigation, that 7 years prior to the thumb condition becoming known, she had chipped a nail on her right pinkie while typing. She informed her male supervisor, who laughed at her and caused her undue discomfort. Thus she shall receive another half-million pounds, and be awarded the "Medal of the Distinguished Cross of the Purple Heart for Hazardous Duty Well Done in Spite of Stressful Conditions and Dire Circumstances"

Forced abortions would be more appropriate. That way, women can't use pregnancy as a reason for an early-out. This in turn would keep them from propositioning their male counterparts, and thus help both male and female soldiers keep their minds on their work..thus reducing the deaths of troops. Pretty neat system, eh? - fewer single mothers/illegitimate kids, fewer troops seeking early discharge, fewer troop deaths, fewer blow-jobs taking place in the field!

Also, what is the logic for monthly breast exams? Are they worried about chemical weapons causing cancer or something? I would think they already get them at least yearly.
