With the UK military operating on two fronts, Iraq and Afghanistan, the chief of the defence staff has privately admitted that the UK's military forces are over-stretched, over-burdened and hugely under staffed for the tasks confronting them.
With the death toll mounting, another 4 soliders killed in Iraq in the past 4 days, the military are increasingly relying on reservist's to fill important gapes in front line duties. However, these reservist's are not 'battle-hardened' and might, according to military chiefs, create extra problems for their fellow front line troops.
Lack of military resources.
Re: Lack of military resources.
Fuck those figures, I see LOTS of squaddies bored shitless and raring to go into a war zone. The MoD should pull its resources from Germany, Christ knows theres enough of the fuckers doing nothing at all there.
Reservists LOVE to play soldiers at weekends, watch the cunts get out of real action..seen MANY TA lads shit 'emselves when called up for a tour of duty........suddenly, they don't like dressing up in combats.

Re: Lack of military resources.
Bismarck famously told his military commanders to never ever fight a war on 2 fronts. Hitler did and got fucked by the Russian winter.
The BBC news has just said we cannot withdraw from Iraq until America tells us we can. So we are still under the thumb of Washington even though VP Blair ahs moved on.

The question is; do we want to be losing a highly trained solider every day?

According to military chief's the replacements are not as highly qualified/trained as they are only reservists, and are not battle hardened.
