Numbers in UK frontline army units fall by up to a third

The numbers of some frontline British army units is down by as much as a third, new figures have revealed, prompting serious concerns about their readiness for action.

I’m not bloody surprised! The number of lies the people have been fed and grown up with along with the government’s idiotic incompetence, is it any wonder that people don’t want to join up as another statistic in their name being sent to places they don’t belong?

Reasons why obvious, near full employment , better educated workforce, job always dependant on next defence review, poor support after conflict and legal industry looking to make money through complaints against troops by people they were fighting. Perception MOD and HMG weak.

Get rid off capita

U don’t need men to kill men anymore just do it with an unmanned drone stupid.

The road to perdition.

If you don't die in some stupid war you're likely to be prosecuted for fighting to survive. Other than that the army's great.

Tories, the Party of the Armed Services, not.

Outsourcing for the armed forces does not work when you look at the efficiency and effectiveness of the armed forces.
