“I think that people in the MoD will be listening to what he said and they'll probably be be a bit annoyed by the fact he's been so candid with us.”

General Sanders made “controversial comments” to The Times’s Larissa Brown about the state of the British army being unprepared to take on a conflict of the scale of the Second World War.

  • If you really want us to fight for our countries, Let us have our country! Let us be able to afford to buy houses and give us the freedom to have families…
  • The young people are not fighting these old miserable evil men wars. They can send their own damn children. 💯
  • @gardnert1
    Try having a country worth fighting for first.
  • I served 40 yrs back but if I was young now, I would not rally to the colours. It is not my country anymore. Many ex-servicemen feel thus.
  • They can count me out. Why would we fight for a country that has betrayed us.
  • I wouldn't waste my breath for the corrupt shower that's in parliament right now.
  • Britain's army is pathetically small, its criminal what both parties have done to the military.
  • Imagine thinking these young people are going to fight for a government that has made their lives miserable.
  • Disgusting what Labour and Tories have done to our forces.
  • It's a tiny army, true, but who wants to die for the US or Ukraine?
  • World War 3 started with Jabs and Lockdowns - What a mess, what a waste of direction for this world.
  • Interesting that theres always a possibility for war, but the possibility for diplomacy and dialogue is never initially considered.
  • Our governments practically took away our abilities to retire, meaning we have to work until 90+ years old just to survive. That alone is already reason enough to not fight and die for a country like that
  • @Akenfelds1
    Although I'm aware that military officers are not supposed to make policy statements, I also think the time comes when it's in the public interest that a general wakes everybody up.

    Why is it in Britain these days that if you speak the truth about anything the media call you either 'controversial' or 'right wing'?
  • Stop talking about our hollowed out forces and do something about it. Follow Poland's example and buy external off the peg if necessary. This is all Politicians fault.
  • These video clips are as ridiculous as some of the ones that Russia shows. Who overpaid for these jerky little 8-wheel golf carts that wouldn’t last a day on an actual battlefield. You guys been talking about your Army crisis for 2 1/2 years, and haven’t fixed it yet?
  • The perception is why would any soldiers go fight a bogus war?
