Last month I wrote an article for the IIRSM Newsletter on the recruitment policies of the Armed Forces.
The story came in response to a recently published report, which assessed whether potential soldiers are provided with an accurate and full description of a forces career, including the risks, found that a misleading picture is created.
One member wrote to me asking that we remember the bigger picture. "The Army, just like any other organisation, has to recruit and you cannot expect it to achieve this by stating too many negatives," he said.
Does this negative publicity simply feed the appetites of those who do not really appreciate or understand? Share your views in our discussion forums.
