%000 British Army Cuts

These cuts were previously announced but in view of recent events in Algeria and Mali should they still go ahead?

My personal opinion is they shouldn't.

Quote:

The Ministry of Defence has announced a third round of Army redundancies.
Up to 5,300 job losses were outlined by the government. These are part of cuts already announced to reduce Army numbers from 102,000 to 82,000 by 2017,

Just watch as we go in to another country with a pack of lies from the PM. And the cuts will carry on.

No they shouldn't make cuts to our forces, the real thing that should be cut is posh boy and his posh mates.

Implicit debts not counted. If counting them, multiply current explicit debts by probably several factors. The smallest reasonable estimation I remember to have ever read in the past couple of years, was three.

Whilst a few of those made redundant will pick up jobs, given the state of the UK job market, will the govt end up paying the dole to the majority of them once their payout runs out?

Bad planning given the state of things in Algeria and Mali despite the pullout from Afghanistan, a lot of these blokes may be needed in the near future.
