Don't be too hard on the Army......
Today's METRO (London free morning paper) contains a short piece that details the numbers of military personnel prescribed Viagra last year:
418 members of the Army
258 Navy personnel
205 in the RAF
I'll just leave those numbers there

I'm not rising to that… Whatever happened to Medical in Confidence? However, you do appear to be a “Chimp” type troll 😈! And probably a bit limp wristed. 🤌🙀
Is that because the Army is harder?

****ing freeloaders!
You can buy this stuff in the chemist/online
Viagra Connect 50mg two tablets £7.50 plus £2.90 delivery.
Misuse of public funds imo...didn't we all get bent out of shape when MPs were putting peanuts on their expense claims.
Blatant Hypocrisy!!!

Clearly not enough standing to attention in today's Army.
Using some basic number crunching to work out percentages and using figures from here: Defence Personnel Totals - Strength of UK Regular Forces 2020 - Recruitment of UK Regular Forces - Outflow of UK Regular Forces - Reserve Forces - Cadet Forces - m13 -Armed Forces
Royal Navy/Royal Marines: 0.66%
Royal Air Force: 0.55%
British Army: 0.36%
Obviously a bit simplistic and doesn't take into account gender.

I can understand the Navy results, they have been reporting a shortage of seamen for ages and the inability to get fully up to strength..
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
When the SMO was informed he could issue “uppers” to aircrew on combat operations he made an understandable, but embarrassing, error……

Are the Royal Engineers having difficulties getting things erected?

I have learnt my lesson from Ish and Campbeex, I should have used the number of members in the three forces to present the data in percentage terms (instead of going off at half cock).
In common with Out Of Trim I do wonder where the numbers came from, FOI request, Parliamentary Question or just plain made up to fill an inch of space. At least they didn't publish a list of names.
