With a start up salary as low as £12 500 a year, many British soldiers are leaving the army after just four years. Could immigration curb the problem?

This issue was featured in a GmTV report this morning, where soldiers where found to be leaving jobs in the army for higher paid jobs in other industries. To deal with this the army has had to recruit soldiers from commonwealth countries.

It is highly contentious when those people who are hired to keep one’s country secure are paid such a small amount of money and the only solution would be to look abroad to fill shortages.

It is a pity that those people who risk their lives for their country are not treated with the respect they deserve in terms of salary.

It must be said though that those people who do come from overseas to wear the Queens Uniform do so with such pride and are as fine as any British soldier.  The UK must be extremely proud of her overseas soldier and UK born troops.

Global Visas as a multinational organisation who believes in international opportunity where ever that maybe.  We salute all the hard working men and women of the UK armed forces.
