Crikey, how much goodwill will there be in the retired/reserve component of HM Forces if something properly horrible kicks off in the Middle East/anywhere else.
"Reserve liability...hmmm let me check my files for the I-couldn't-give-a-fu(k letter I have been keeping for MOD since my redundancy!!"
I think the concept of employment for all professions in the UK is moving more and more towards short-term contracts, and away from a career for life. It's certainly what seems to be passing for career management in the military.
Anyone fancy a second career as a mercenary?
