They have raised suspicions that the Army, which has just axed 3,000 personnel, targeted a number who were within touching distance of generous lifelong pay outs.

Parents of officers have also contacted The Daily Telegraph saying that their sons have been sacked just short of serving 16 years, at which point they would get an immediate annual stipend of around £12,000. They too will have to wait until they are 65.

Nothing new here. I heartily suspect this stuff is part of the reason why they conveniently discharged me at the time. I was a short three months away from receiving benefits as long as I wasn't dishonorably discharged at some later date. GI Bill, home loan assistance, the works :/

Big surprise...when are people in the UK going to get it?

You are "subjects"...

Latin: subiectus - "lying beneath"

...under the dominion, rule, and authority and owing allegiance and obedience to an 'Elite' that does not give a damn about you.
