But like it's the army. Why join if you're going to sue the state for getting hurt?

By its nature military service is dangerous and carries the risk of getting killed or injured. How many of the lads storming the Normandy beaches would have sued if they tripped and banged their face?

The army still have a duty of care to their soldiers, particularly a duty to train them.

Yes there is a risk of injury and death in battle, but that does not mean that there is no duty of care owed to them. It seems from a reading of this that the injury to the soldier were entirely preventable.

Sueing Heston Bloomendal for £200k because her hand got sore doing her job FFS

Nobody was "forcing" her to make the jellies. She could have walked at any time.

I'd imagine this will be an easy win for the Fat Fuck.
