British army's top woman to quit
No Female General for Britain
Britain’s most senior woman officer
is resigning from the army. She was expected to become Britain's
first female general but after 26 years of service she chose
voluntary redundancy. Brigadier Nicky Moffat says that the army cuts
in 2020 have nothing to do with her decision and hopes that more
young women will join the army because they are fundamental to the
operational effectiveness. The army cuts in 2020 include a reduction
in strength from 100,000 soldiers now to 82,000 in 2020. It has been
added that some historic battalions might disappear because of the
cuts.
My reaction
before I read this article I did not
know Britain did not have a female general. I hope her resignation
really has nothing to do with the budget cuts because I do not like
people having to quit because of lack of funding. But seeing that she
is a high ranking officer I think it is true she voluntary left. I
hope they find another capable female to become Britain's first
female general. And I hope that the historic battalions survive the
2020 budget cuts.
