I consider that those stating morale is still high are confusing the 'press-on-itus' and local morale that forms the backbone of the front line British serviceman and without which they could not hope to survive day to day, with a genuine underlying unease at continually being asked to do more with less.
The fact that I could no longer, with a clear conscience, continue to serve a Government that asset strips to pay for conflicts, with what appears a total disregard to what the forces need, was the main reason behind my leaving the Service.
