The British Army is being DESTROYED!

The British army is in a state of collapse. Not only have the Conservative government massively reduced the numbers in the Army over the last 14 years, but now woke diversity targets are threatening the future of recruitment.

Once upon a time the idea of a Conservative Government not supporting our armed forces would have been unthinkable.

[captainplatinum]

What hasn’t this government destroyed?

[petecurtis]

Sadly I, as a former 25 yr Soldier, fully agree with you. The country has gone mad.

England lost a war none of the English people knew they were fighting

[kevindarke]

Who can identity as being British anymore...what does British even mean? No wonder less and less want to serve and maybe give their lives for a country that has turned its back on them.

[ylxyegb]

I served. I would not serve again. I voted for Margaret Thatcher, to save the British armed forces. I will not vote Conservative again. I will never vote Labour, nor will I vote Lib-Dem. The game is up.

[ipolarisi]

This is disgusting. I’m very proud to be British but I’m honestly considering moving, I cannot stand the state of the UK for much longer

[bergeracvandamme]

And the British establishment wonders why British people don't want to fight for this country. What is there even left to fight for now?

[ianhunter]

Why would the young join the armed forces knowing the treatment of veterans

[VashPlissken]

Went from the British Empire to the British WokeTopia in just under a century. The US isnt far behind either.

Don’t die for a country that hates you.

Live for a family that loves you.

[andyelliott]

Bring back the recruiting office and get rid of Capita

I left the British Army in 2020. Best decision I’ve ever made in my life. I would never re join, no matter how much they wanted to pay me. This is not a country worth defending anymore.

[snakeySnakeybakey]

As a guy from one of your former colonies I can't understand why any native Brit would willingly fight for a country whose government openly hates them. I have a feeling that if Russia were to conquere the island they would be greeted as liberators.

[sheilamorrell]

I used to be proud of my British heritage, but I find myself now not identifying with Britain today. I also wonder what my father, who gave his life for the country would think today.

[andreroswell]

What do we need an army for - we have no borders.

[davidbettney]

I did 22 years in the Army 1987-2010....I finished as a Warrant Officer First Class...But 100% I would not join today!...The British Army, was strong in the face of the enemy for over 300 years, but withered under the attack of diversity, in less than 10 years :(

[danieldpa]

To quote a friend of mine who’s British and was thinking about joining the army; “no Russian ever called me racist, a patriarch or privileged”

[heavyvoodoo]

I don't even know how this can be allowed to happen. This government is an abomination. 🛑😡😤🤬🤡

[MLOW]

I’m a veteran and I am so angry to have lost friends defending this country! My Grandad questioned why his generation fought in WW2. I agree why? For a load of woke crazies to destroy a once great nation. 😢
