This petition has been made to stop the Government from turning our long standing professional Army into a mockery by reducing the amount of professional soldiers who take this job seriously and with dedication and handing over a large portion of it to the TA, who even though they try their best arent as well trained and prepared as regular soldiers are as this is their full time job. If you agree that the soldiers that take the oath of allegiance to Queen and Country seriously enough to do it full time should keep their jobs then please sign our petition, once we have enough signatures we will be sending this to our Queen and to our Prime Minister in the hope that something will come of this show of support. Thank you

The current level of engagement has drawn the attention of several military affairs journalists. I am preparing a formal briefing document to send to the Prime Minister's office based on the feedback gathered here.

Ridiculous idea. You dont replace full time trained experts with hobbyists. These men and women give everything for this country they deserve better.
