I had to laugh when I saw the "Humiliating" part, so many people are out of work and times are so lean, it just sounds ridiculous to here them say that let alone be thinking it.
America's government could take a lesson here I believe.
All admirals, generals and air chief marshals have been ordered to travel second class in a cost-cutting measure condemned as “humiliating”.
All armed forces personnel, including senior commanders, must now sit in standard class on trains and planes, under the new rules introduced by the government.
However, the move has provoked anger from military leaders. Major-General Patrick Cordingley, who commanded the 7th Armoured Brigade — the Desert Rats — during the first Gulf war, said there were “very good reasons” to allow first-class travel for senior personnel.
