Cuts on Defense will leave many soldiers unemployed

According to the Ministry of Defense, they seem to be obliged to reduce the cost of the army and cut back on the people in it.

People say that 20,000 soldiers will be obliged to leave the army either by redundancy or by being forced to do so. However, the ministry of Defense will try to push the personnel out of the door as fast as possible before the EU legislation starts. The legislation says that soldiers will be paid only three months per year and not nine, like now.

Brigadier David Paterson, the honorary Colonel of the Regiment of Fusiliers, said “I, as colonel, have the duty to tell my men why it is their battalion, which at the time of the announcement will be the best manned battalion in the army, with recruits waiting in the wings, was chosen by CGS. I will then also have to explain to my Fusiliers in a fully manned battalion why they are likely to be posted to battalions that cannot recruit. This will not be an easy sell.”
