Well, the fact that you say that makes me question if you are actually a part of the army. This part of our Armed Forces is hugely regarded with a lot of respect. The training in this is just as hard as any other if not higher considering the animal component. This is an important part of our history and culture, not to mention is good for helping, continue the breeding and support of equine life in the UK and the culture of riding in general, not to mention the great benefits people who are in say the household cavalry get which can be used once they leave the army. Plus the household cavalry is half ceremonial and half practical military training. The household cavalry actually worked with armoured vehicles out in Afghanistan, as that is the other half of the work, so they are actually a part of the regular army as well and is not a waste of money. They are doing the work in fact we are paying for, for those who are so obsessed with it. also, if you were in another regiment like King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, you continue the tradition of using the old guns and that can definitely be developed going forward. Also, if you leave the army with the skills you’ve gained, like being a farrier, that can be a long and distinguished career. My dad was in that regiment and he has been a farrier for decades now as a result.

This is what made me roll my eyes so much at this video and what the army is becoming. Why are earth is this even an issue or people allowed to even have a voice about something like this, when there are far more literary world important matters right now that the army needs to be doing. The only thing we all must be talking about right now is supplying as many weapons to Ukraine as possible, and looking at doubling the size of our forces potentially and actually increasing our armaments, rather than never-ending reductions for the sake of apparent upgrades. Our tanks been one of them. This whole naming convention change for the sake of making a small group of outsiders happy, which is absolutely insane, when the army are supposed to be about strength and following orders, it’s just making us never ending the week. If this keeps on, I don’t see how we could ever survive against a real enemy now. Perhaps that’s why we actually don’t seem to have the guts to do any real fighting anymore. This is actually genuinely one of my worries that has been at the back of my mind. Perhaps, our government and the US government are too scared to send our armies into battle against an actual large-scale military force, because our army has become too much of a show pony simply to be a deterrent, but in actuality, although it is now pleasing to a lot of people, might no longer be up to stuff to actually fight against an enemy that doesn’t give a damn about woke culture in the slightest.
I hate saying it, I really do, but I just can’t imagineSoldiers and people who are lobbying for these kinds of attitudes, would ever survive against Russian or Chinese soldiers who would be savage to you no matter what and tear you down to the very basic level of humanity. I don’t think any other female soldiers would feel very equal, if they were to be captured and used by Russian soldiers. This is just one of the things our armed forces seem to be unable to fight against due to impossible levels of four left opinions that spit in the face of reality, and I think our government knows this. And that’s why they are not prepared to ever send us against a real military that knows that you have to throw all of that out of the window if you are to survive.😞

Well, yeah, that would be the case, but also not. Honestly, it would be the best case if it was exclusively Britain developing its all on its own and we could export it to the world as an exclusively British aircraft. We need to be able to do this stuff ourselves again. It’s humiliating that the project apparently ran into trouble and has now being developed internationally, let alone the fact that it won’t probably arrive until 2035, when the base platform will most likely be out of date (even though thaaaankfully the ‘prototype’ will be flying only in the UK within 5 years which is great at least), or they will have to spend billions most likely to update it again before going into mass production. Again, Hugely humiliating. Just goes to show how much bureaucracy has restrained creativity to the point that they have to follow specific industry, builders no matter what even if it kills them when independent skills, people who actually have a passion, for this would be more than willing to develop it in the UK in half the time for half the money, if they actually were willing to open up about designs and stop being so tightlipped about it. Understand security and all, but allowing bureaucracy to reach this level to the point that it costs billions, and will be massively drawn out for this result is not worth it. We need to keep it in Britain, and bring in individuals and developers have a passion for this rather than just restricting it two big-name industry companies.

Yeah I’m on a gaming course and even though I’m not a massive gamer I very much understand these groups of people across all areas of development and gaming styles for understanding of technology and the battlefield. So I can definitely say that plenty of them would see right through this. It feels like, as usual, the army just thought does it on face level to what they would imagine would appeal to gamers, without actually consulting them to see how they would feel about it. They introduce it as if to say that machines will be more important in it, which is true, but then they just transition across to say that they will play A some part of it but will still need standard recruits and are still just pushing more women in frontline roles which just doesn’t work. It feels like this recruitment ad is partially in response to the war in Ukraine where they can see obviously plenty of people with gaming and drone experience applying their knowledge on the battlefield to great effect. This and those army posters, seem to still skim over the fact that it will be most likely in the future that robots do get closer involved in actual frontline fighting as possible robotic soldiers, with legs or wheels, rather than just assistance. It feels also like they are once again also just trying to push women in the army will it just isn’t going to work in frontline real positions in terms of physical skill levels, just because they aren’t getting enough men to join up.
This is all because they aren’t getting enough people to join. If they want people to actually join, they need to speak to those people who are most on the fence about it but could still be convinced, rather than those hardline anti-fighting scared people. The game generation is good, but it could’ve been done slightly better here. High compliments though to the modeller and team who worked on the robot design and graphics for this advert, as this is the first time I’ve ever seen the army actually do a piece like this to this affect, so applause to them at least.
If the army does want to fix things though, the simple fact is they do need to be slapping more posters all over the place so people can’t just look casually away from it like any other regular government advertisement. They need to be on regular bus station and billboard adverts where people will see them for consistent amount of times. We need to massively increase the size of the army probably twice fold as well as far more equipment, to the scale frankly twitch Ukraine is having to respond. The threat is here, as it always has always has been. Our government just hasn’t been willing to accept it through cowardice in greed until now. It’s time to start arming up again, and this is our possibly one chance to do so before it is too late.

I couldn’t agree more. They keep wanting to recruit people but are doing BS during and afterwards like this. I don’t know whether the government realises this or do and are just ignoring it for the sake of saving money at the expense of peoples careers, lives and national defence!? My dad was in the army from the nineteen eighties to the early 90s and it definitely wasn’t like this now. Probably in both good and bad ways (cruelty in training probably one of them), but back then you were tough and it was a simple as that. If they really want to get people into the army than they actually need to prove that they are just going to be fired in a few months or a year due to more soldier reductions and actually show finally that we are going to double our army rather than reducing it even though an enemy is nearly on our doorstep. It’s time the army actually got the new equipment in ASAP rather than always just pushing it down the road, as well as actually increasing the wage for a first-time recruits. It might overall be better than the wages for long-term soldiers in the US, but it still could be better with the reductions they have done to numbers.
Although my biggest issue is that the army needs to finally start reducing its restrictions on people who are diagnosed as being anywhere on the autistic spectrum. I don’t think the army has fully realised the numbers yet in terms of how many people actually are on the autistic spectrum, in other words the general British public,That would be wanting to join but are automatically excluded without any true considerations. These people actually largely make up a lot of games in the first place you are capable of out of the box thinking who are drawn to games in the first place that others might not be. Many don’t even try applying because the army seem so staunchly against it because they think these people are going to be a hindrance, when these people have been in the army since the dawn of time but justNever had a diagnosis because they were just simply consider people who could view things differently, but as soon as there was such a thing as a diagnosis, for many it is cause nothing but trouble for themselves rather than helping. My father believes that he had Asperger’s but because there was no diagnosis at the time he just simply was slightly different, but he got into the army fine and had a very successful career and as a result he in the army was better for it. As a result of there being such a thing as a diagnosis now, I was unable to join even though I have all the skills sets that the army is looking for. This is exclude me and many other people who wish to join the army from actually being able to get in with abs in ‘no proof’ that this huge proportion of the British public would be a problem. If the army actually wants to get more people into the army, which are usually unique people in the first place in order to be actually able to even consider joining the army, then it needs to reverse this policy or at least have a very deep look into it, in order to actually attract these unique (people who would consider it rather than the general sheep/snowflake public) and very skilled people in many cases in the first place to actually join. This will allow the army to get back on track and probably succeed even more on the battlefield again because of it.

@Chubby_T0511 While I do agree that it might attract more women than men, because they don’t do frontline fighting work versus those in the household cavalry, who are generally regarding each other as their main rivals, I don’t. It’s fair to say at all that they are wimps. My dad was in Kings troop all the way until the early 90s and only left so he could pursue being a farrier full-time and get married. He is not a screamer and they are all very honourable people who do the work the best they can. King Street is an opportunity for people who want to keep the traditions going both for the country, as well as for the world of equine work, and there was nothing wrong with that. However, I do agree that, considering they don’t usually do frontline combat or aid work, it is sad that they don’t draw in many men anymore considering when my dad was there. I don’t think he mentioned that being any women at all as working with horses, then was regarded more of a manly thing to do. I honestly think it’s more of the public viewing of horses, and how the media views working with horses and ponies being a girly thing, so it might put off a lot of young chaps from joining up within the regiment.

@Louis Yeah from what I’ve seen that feels pretty true. Game of people are used to doing quick calculations and reading incredibly fast from my experience considering usually a lot of our unique background and skills that so it feels like a very good choice. We’ve just got to hope that the army doesn’t suddenly decide to exclude a huge bunch of them because they might be registered as perhaps being on the autistic spectrum. This would be a very bad decision is something the army would finally have to throw out the window and just be something that is checked on before progressing onto training.
A huge number of the population are on the autistic spectrum whether they realise it or not, including it turns out my father. When he was in the army from the eighties to the 90s, he didn’t even realise what this was and neither did the army fully or have a properDiagnosis for it, so she got through the army fine and everyone benefited from it. However once the army found out about it, they decided to just bar anyone who had the condition at any level if they had been diagnosed as being autistic from a child to any age from actually joining. This massively neglected the army of having a huge amount of skilled people who are capable of doing things from different angles to regular people. The army immediately labelled these people is being a potential issue or hindrance, when these people or just regular people like any other but are simply capable of viewing the world differently. This isn’t wrong, this is right. You need people like this in order for you to be able to progress or get around problems that other people might not notice.This is what allows mini gamers to be able to succeed and what allowed them to do well in gaming that they might not of be able to do so at other things. I know plenty of people who are diagnosed with Asperger’s from a young age who wanted to join the army, but because you slowly grow out of it depending on how you are introduced into the world, it doesn’t really affect them anymore, but because they already were diagnosed, the army didn’t care and just immediately excluded them. This is incredibly wrong of The armed forces needs to be immediately looked at as it should’ve been done years ago if it is to actually get more people in.
If the army doesn’t get round this particular problem, then this whole advertisement campaign will have been for nothing.
