Is Britain No Longer A Military Power,?.

[gulliver1]

Recruitment for the Armed forces has been branded a"National Security Crisis" by the MPs .Military chiefs are becoming increasingly concerned about the UK's ability to respond to global threats, as for every five new recruits who join the armed forces a total of eight are leaving .What is the answer ? Maybe bring back National Service or a hire Private Army of mercenaries ?.

[gulliver1]

The Uk no longer has the Men ,Ships or the Money ! to fight off any threats .Why ? Is it because most of the young are work shy and getting paid to stay at at home.The ships are in port broken down, and the money has been trousered by (You know who).

Give it a rest !

Apparently it's the number of 18 year olds where recruiting is going down the most....I Wonder why ?.

The army on our streets seem also to be struggling to keep control. With the amount of invaders walking up our beaches at the moment they will be out numbered.

[Prudie]

I am stunned - and you think Labour are going to stop paying people to stay at home doing nothing? That's always been their whole purpose in life, doling out benefits.

[nicebloke1]

And you think labour will stop paying. Yes

[davebro3]

I think we could beat Malta.

Davebro 13.26 "Think we could beat Malta"

The Germans tried hard enough in ww2. and couldn't

🤣At the moment Britain couldn't even beat retreat.🤣

No longer a Military power!!

That's right .Private Pike died only last month.

[Peter Pedant]

recruiting follows rules and pressures we know nothing about.

Figures went UP during the troubles in northern ireland fr'instance

[nicebloke1]

Looks like we have a little goading thats come along.From one thats alway complaining about others doing it. Dont do as I do,do as I say or want.

[ichkeria]

Sifting through the dross here, there is a recruitment crisis in the army and the way to deal with it is to find better means of recruitment : sensible solutions welcome but I'm not holding my breath. 
 
Britain has traditionally been a naval power rather than a terrestrial military one for reasons I hope are obvious even to the dimmest. And still is. 

[gulliver1]

Never mind Dads Army .Has the Britain got any Reservists any more ?.

[nicebloke1]

Dross? yet more goading and again coming from someone who complains about such??

[retrocop]

Sad fact that more Muslim  men from this country joined ISIS then His Majesty's Forces.

[davebro3]

make love not war

[retrocop]

UK Government Edict. All men of fighting age will be conscripted into the armed forces for three years.

Just watch all those little boats going full speed astern from the country they apparently love.

[theshedman]

The same thing again from the one who claims to be British but spends much of his time running it down.  As you seem to dislike us so much why not take Nationality from where you claim to live or wont they have you.  By the way the Germans didn't take Malta mostly due to the help they had from us.

Ichkeria @ 13.53. "Britain a naval power" But you have to have ships and aircraft carriers at sea not stuck in dock waiting for spare parts."I hope this information is obvious even to the dimmist and still is.
