Not the best analogy, in my experience.
Many of the TA brigade are more 'army' than real soldiers and take immense pride in the fact that they are defending their country on home soil, whether that is actually the case or not.
I have to wade in here and defend the PCSOs we have in Rishton who are currently re-applying for their own jobs and some sterling work alongside our two 'proper' officers. I am firmly against cutting frontline staff and this would not help the crime situation in our village one bit.
Lose a few chiefs and leave the Indians alone.
