I for one would not be a happy bunny to lose my job, hopefully start a second career only to find myself recalled because the Government had misjudged the required size of the armed forces or weren't willing to pay for the forces needed to support their global aspirations. My new employer would love that!
I'm happy to be messed about all they like while I'm serving, but if they pull the rug on me, I'll have my own life to look after.
Yours,
Disgruntled of England
