More than half the soldiers being treated at the Selly Oak hospital ward in Birmingham either asked for the curtains to be closed or deliberately avoided the prime minister, according to several of those present. The soldiers, who have sustained some of the worst injuries seen in Afghanistan, described his visit as “opportunistic” and a “waste of time”.Very understandable, a man who has overseen both as Chancellor and now as PM the slashing of defence budgets, who has failed to provide the armed forces with enough equipment to do the job and who when Chancellor was hostile to spending on the Armed Forces.
Then we have his strange Defence Sec. Bob "the knob" Ainsworth, a man in charge of the armed forces who seems to be preoccupied with his attempts to sue wounded British soldiers to cut their compensation. A man appointed to that role by one James Gordon Brown.
Roll on election day, this land deserves so much better.

And apparently those who did speak to him weren't too complimentary:
"Half the lads didn’t want to speak to him and those that did pretty much blamed him for everything."
Let's hope it really is Curtains for Gordon before too long.
British Army Rumor Service have much to say on the issue.
