Re: How many to be made redundant
To be fair, we don't need so many troops in Germany now. Hugh`s comments are correct, during the cold war in the late 60`s our life expectancy was 24 hours, 48 hours at the most. My unit in the 1st BR Corps had a life expectancy of about 12 hours. That threat has gone now. We can utilise these men more efficiently in the UK.
Arthur is right in one respect, our forces are trimmed to the bone.
