Joe has been told he doesn't have to go back to the army.

That's the main thing. We don't have to fight. The point has been conceded.

So now he gets to stay at home, drawing sick pay, until the processes have been gone through....

Hooray
hooray.

I guess I'm surprised (but very pleased) that the Army is capable of such reason and humanity.

I suppose they don't want the cannon fodder image to haunt them.

Our first contact with them - with Joe's CSM to be exact- was very off-putting. The guy was abrupt and arrogant and implied that Joe was shirking.

This new guy, on the other hand, was very much concerned with Joe's welfare- and made it plain that Joe's old regiment (and his CSM) will have no further say in the matter.
