Short sighted reaction if all we're talking about is 20 million; there's a sporting event that could donate a little I'm sure.

If you don't train them, then what's the point? If anything training should be more intensive since the Army has not got enough infantry.

"About 35,000 men and women currently serve in the TA"

The TA - shout "bang" to save money
So much for no cuts for those providing front line services:

Since Labour came to power the TA has fallen from more than 57,000 to a trained strength of about 19,000.
In the old days the TA would usually only be deployed if the Warsaw Pact forces were on the verge of invading West Germany.Tags: None
