I can't say I'm surprised. Not only do we require them to put their lives on the line, but to do so ill equipped and with both hands tied behind their backs.

And, of course, we pare our services down to the bone in order to be able to afford more generals and senior civil servants to 'run' the services from behind their comfortable desks.

It has been obvious for some time (and especially in the last couple of decades) that our army has simply become cannon fodder for the military-industrial complex.

So anyone joining up has to be slightly out of their mind in the first place!
