It seems that the chickens are coming home to roost. From the BBC:

A quarter of those serving in the UK's armed forces want to quit, a Ministry of Defence survey (MoD) suggests.

The rate of personnel planning to leave, or who have given their notice, increased from 16% in 2011 to 25% now.

Those planning to stay in the service for as long as they could also fell from 41% in 2011 to 34% now.

An MoD spokeswoman said: "We continually strive to ensure our people feel valued and that their contribution and sacrifice is recognised.
