Service personnel have limited access to financial services (loans, leases, other credit) without the permission of a senior officer. I couldn’t buy a £250 suit on credit for my wedding without the say-so of an army accountant…. Yet you let me fire £15k missiles….
And it’s underreported but an army corporal with a family qualifies for income support.

Serving military (other ranks ie not officers) are perceived to be more prone to debt etc by nature of their background.
An officer asking a young corporal if he can afford £150 a month for a car repayment when he probably spends that on gin-and-tonics every night… feels likes a class issue
