Do our hopeless overpaid, over-pensioned military leaders know their ars*s from their elbows?

Here are the cuts being planned for our armed forces:

The army is planning to get rid of 20,000 going from 102,000 to 82,000. As�up to�5,000 leave�voluntarily each year, this�20,000 reduction in strength�by 2020 should have meant no forced redundancies.

But�our military top brass have�a cunning plan.�They have�just launched a big, expensive, TV�recruitment drive to hire about 10,000 new troops. So, to reach the targeted 20,000 troops reduction, there will have to be lots of�redundancies as about 10,000 new soldiers are being recruited. These new troops will, of course, have no experience and have to be trained at great cost to British taxpayers.�The 5,000 who have recently been made redundant and the thousands more still to be made redundant will�mostly have lots of experience.

Make sense?

Here’s the last head of the British armed forces:

And here’s the new one who is just taking over:

And here’s a clown:

Though, given the ability of our military leaders to make a total cock-up of everything they do, you might have difficulty distinguishing between the head of the armed forces and the clown.
