My son told me about this yesterday .
He is an army reservist and thought he was safe from being recalled but now they have put the age up to 55 and apparently in 2027 it will go up to 65 .

What does this tell us ?
Is there going to have a war ?

It's cheaper than equipping the Armed Forces with the equipment they need. It's just numbers,..look at us our Army, Navy andRAF are really huge. The fact we don't have the right equipment for them is irrelevant

The only reason for this disturbing situation of our armed forces today is a succession of incompetent governments of both so-called 'main parties'.

From what I can see, the problem originated with Bliar and then Brown.  Later on, we can thank Boris for a great increase in illegal invaders, which has now been exceeded even further by the present Labour government with a recent history of two totally incompetent prime ministers.

Will the country survive until 2029?
