Gen.....apparently the better option to staying in the Army to them. Which says something about the Army and its leadership I would suggest.
Any way you try to spin it....the message that gets slung out is the Army needs to reassess its situation re Morale, Discipline, and Leadership.
The Fish rots from the Head, remember....and far more effect can be had by "shooting a few Admirals than hanging many Matelots" or whatever it was said about the Royal Navy at one time.
The same concept applies to the British Army.....sack some Generals and the rest of the Officer Corps will take note. Commanding Officers at every level hold a very real obligation to look after the Troops....it is the very basic tenant of Military Leadership.
I have to assume you lot are taught that at Sandhurst are you not?
Or are you still able to purchase a Commission these days?
