Size of the British Army

There are suggestions that the British Army will be reduced to its smallest size for 100 years - that would be 1911 then. Well we all know what happened in 1914!. I hear this morning that TA soldiers could get a pension thus reducing any potential savings. Whilst I am confident that TA soldiers are competent to reinforce regular soldiers I am less than confident that part of the civilian work force should be depended upon to project power for this country.
