Is'nt this along the same lines as when the police force removed height restrictions on joining as they too were having problems recruiting?Maybe the armed forces are short of new recruits because for the first time for 20 odd years our forces are actively engaged in warfare,and todays youth would rather sup cider at our expense than be shot at in some middle eastern s***hole.
