| A Conscript Only Army
Stef,
Britain, or any other country for that matter cannot train and organise it's army solely with conscripts. In fact contrary to what you believe, in August 1914 there were 350,000 regular British soldiers in France and Belgium. Had this not been the case the Germans would have swept through France and most certainly without British support the French would have been driven back to the Channel ports.
In both the world wars, regulars and conscripts worked wonderfully well together. In fact the two entities complemented each other.
Stef, the profession of a soldier is an honourable one and I believe that the decisions made by B Liar have clouded the issue and tainted the honour of the British army. |
