I AM sure a lot of people will have been upset by the comment of Mrs Fiona Morette (LET, September 8) who wrote in reference to the QLR debate that her son had decided he would "rather be a 'soldier' than join the Logistics Corps."

I would like to point out that all members of the British Army are fully trained soldiers.

It is insulting to suggest anything else.
