I believe Fallon recently said something to the effect that the ..Armed Forces should reflect the society they serve....

On that basis one can only presume that the profile of the UK Armed Forces will in future be recruited/trained to achieve:

16% of personnel (rising to 32% by 2050) to be over 65.
64% of personnel (rising to ??? by ???) to be overweight.
23% of personnel (rising to ??? by ???) to be obese.

How about an aspiration that the Armed Forces of the UK should represent the very best of the society they serve....?
