Good luck with that
Transgender army
It will never happen nobody in the regular army wants somebody who doesn’t want to be there covering his or her back
Not helpful to his career, is what he meant
I can't wait.
We're full of illegal immigrants for gods sake, who the hell will they support. frankly if we went away to fight abroad all our females will be wearing bourkas when we return.
No chance, the British Military doesn't want bad soldiers.That's a Russian thing.
The truth is due to the culture war against the west we no longer would even fight for each other.
I don’t wanna fight for Israel
Whoa ! You just said young men & women 🤬
Excuse me !!!!! There are least 400 other genders
You have blown his words out of context
recruit all the LGBTQ
Is it likely…. no, unless there is a real war that directly threatens the UK, then all bets are off.
Who they kidding, Russia cant defeat their small neighbour so whats chances of em making their way across europe. More scaremongering from the scumbag press
If we do I'd fight to protect my family not the shitshow of a government
Get all the dirty stinking immigrants that they have held up in 5 star hotels to fight
UK army.
…they threaten and instigate wars and don't even have anything to defend themselves with 😂😂😂😂
British army have been saying this for a while, government are trying to suppress the narrative to avoid panic in society – if Russia converts to full war time economy and mobilises its population then it’s v likely
It won't happen coz they know it's a major vote loser
send all the immigrants and lbgt
I usually send those vets I see begging n living ruff to go at the Palace to beg.
After all who did they went n kill to keep rich again??
Highly unlikely volunteers only
All those fighting age illegal imigrants can go fight. After all our own government thinks all white men are evil
I wouldn’t fight for this government or the king. The uk is a sh#t hole. Get your immigrants to fight for ya.
