I think there is one reason why the politicians are desperate to get out of Afghanistan and one reason why the Army want to stay.
Remember, we are only 40% into budgetary cuts to re balance the deficit; whatever happens, I suspect a large land force with a significant armored force will not feature in the post 15 (post afghan) model.
As to redundancies, who knows? I do know that salaries, pensions and benefits are a significant slice of the MOD budget.
