Once again “vntbnp” your figures are wrong, there are only a TOTAL of 196,600 regular troops of which approx 10% are under training! with 41,600 TA (paid) , the Figure of 232,000 regular reserves is misleading as these are people who have LEFT the services and are on call (but unpaid) for a number of years in case of dire emergencies.
The commitments of our troops , excluding Afghanistan, which has less than 10,000 troops, are to various garrisons such as Cyprus, Gibralter, Belize & the Falklands, and other UN peacekeeping roles such as Sierra Leone, Cyprus and the Balkans.
However the British Armed services are having trouble in finding enough recruits because of the well known deficiencies in this criminally corrupt lying governments treatment,eg:- lack of essential supplies (helicopters etc), poor pay, (Traffic wardens get more pay than a soldier who is risking his life for us), poor housing, poor healthcare if they are wounded! This has lead to over 7000 foreign nationals being recruited mainly from the old British commonwealth and that does NOT count the Ghurkas!
My own son was begged by his old CO to come back shortly after he got out, having served in Kosovo & Iraq, he politely declined!
