Half of British servicemen want to quit: report

About half of all British military personnel were ready to quit from the army, The Times said on Thursday. According to the report, the survey, which was conducted between July and October last year by the Ministry of Defence and involved more than 24,000 military personnel, revealed that 47 per cent of soldiers and army officers think regularly of handing in their resignations.

The same percentage of Royal Navy personnel considered leaving; along with 37 per cent in the Royal Marines and 44 percent in the Royal Air Force, said the survey.

The findings highlighted the pressures on the Armed Forces of enduring two medium-scale military campaigns simultaneously.

The survey also showed unprecedented levels of concern over equipment, morale and pay. — Xinhua
