Alex,
Our CF fly boys get flight pay whether they fly or not. So why not have wounded soldiers continue their danger pay until they are released from hospital? Are they no less valuable? (keep in mind that the only thing on the battlefield that holds ground is an infanteer).
There is danger when flying for sure, but I would argue that in Afghanistan, the infantry occupation is a more dangerous occupation...so, why not pay it??
