Some of us. Not all public service employees are subject to the rigours and demands which military service entails. I do not accept that as stated this had to continue or should continue just because the Defence Forces is looking over its shoulder at other areas of the public sector. That is badly conceived. It does not add up. It is an easy task to identify the exceptionality around the Defence Forces, which is self-evident.
