Their view that the far-right groups was "fundamentally at odds" with values of the British military was supported by veterans like Simon Weston, who was severely injured while serving in the Falklands, and the writer and former SAS member Andy McNab, who condemned the BNP's use of images of the armed forces in election materials.
