Quoted By:
>In a speech on reserves at the Royal United Services Institute, Alistair Carns, the minister for veterans, said: "In a war of scale - not a limited intervention, but one similar to Ukraine - our army for example on the current casualty rates would be expended, as part of a broader multinational coalition, in six months to a year," he added.
>"That doesn't mean to say we need a bigger army, but it does mean we must be able to generate depth and mass rapidly in the event of a crisis."
Once again they manipulate the notion of "crisis".
NHS can't cope with covid (not a crisis), so we shut most of it down (successfully prevent a crisis). Prisons are full (not a crisis), so we release prisoners early (successfully prevent a crisis). Our army could be wiped out within a year in the upcoming world war (not a crisis), so we keep it the same size and set some more recruitment targets for the reserves (successfully prevent a crisis).
