BRITAIN’S military chiefs are living in lavish homes paid for by taxpayers — while troops suffer in squalor, we can reveal.
Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the Chief of Defense Staff, resides in a mansion worth £62,000 per year, with a staff that adds an additional £113,000.

General Sir Patrick Sanders, Chief of the General Staff, lives in a mansion that costs the government £101,000 per year to maintain, while his salary is only £29,000.
According to the results of a Freedom of Information Act investigation, several other high-ranking officials also own expensive homes in London.
As opposed to the subpar living conditions many people must endure.
An “exodus” of troops has occurred, according to retired Army Major Richard Foord.
The Ministry of Defense has stated that senior staff members need “an appropriate property” to carry out their responsibilities.
The military has “not received the level of accommodation services they deserve,” according to a spokesperson.
