British army embraces immigrant

london - The British army opens the door wide for immigrants. It is planned that 1350 immigrants from the Commonwealth will be welcomed annually. In this way the shortage of soldiers in the British army must be discharged.

The recruitment campaign of the British army, air force and navy comes at a time when the popularity of the army is under pressure. The number of suicides of servicemen who have returned from employment in Iraq and Afghanistan in particular has risen starkly last year. At the end of September, five miltairs committed suicide again, as was announced last week. This year there are already 42 suicides among serving or former soldiers.
