"Caveating that I have enormous respect for Al Carns but respectively this is very misleading. Huge pull factors for improved retention are bleak civilian job market & inflation-busting pay rises for the military. Next - respectfully - large amounts of the UK's Special Forces (inc. friends of mine) are leaving because of your government's horrific NI Legacy Act - a Bill in which Al himself abstained from voting for this week and in which his own government's NI veterans commissioner has firmly denounced. Is the Northern Ireland Legacy Act impacting recruitment and retention The answer is NO. -"
