One only needs to look at the Comments section at the bottom of the link in the OP to guage what Joe Public and ex Servicemen think about the ad.

As an ex infantryman I can only concur, it's utter Horlicks.

[Mamyalynne]

All of the Ads in the current campaign or just the one they have focussed on?

.// Wonder if he's [PP] heard about the killings at Fort Hood: //

this would be the american doctor, muslim shot a score or so troopers

and so - a parallel would be - that as a result fo the warren point killings - we Brits dont recruit Irish

erm yeah we do actually

Normal day on Ab I see

[Spicerack]

A parallel? Only in Peterland.

PeterPedant confuses Irish with Islam again. A normal day in PP land.

I can't believe a proper ex Serviceman would be reading the Daily Mail. He would have been laughed at in the service.

Well, yes, it could be used as a parallel, I suppose, but I'd thought a closer one might be "British Army seeks recruits - Irish Nationalists especially welcome".

It used to cause no end of problems in the factories and mills near us in the 60s when the Muslims wanted to stop working in order to pray.
Just imagine you are in the midst of a raging battle and all the Muslims are looking for a quiet place to do the ritual washing etc. before kneeling down to pray. They would be 'sitting ducks' and the enemy would have a field day.
