They must remove all of the current recruitment team who produce advertisements for the army and replace with veterans and patriots. Fix this
The MOD is becoming a weaker. Which the new, failure is acceptable has made people who can't do it are accepted the same as a person who can do it. People want action adverts not emotional adverts. Remove the whol recruitment team and replace them all with patriots and veterans. Thank you
