The start of both the Iraq and Afghan conflict increased recruit to the British Forces by 43% .

what is the point you're trying to make?

The start of both the Iraq and Afghan conflict increased recruit to the British Forces by 43% .

Young people inspired by patriotism or facing joblessness during the recession have contributed to a surge in the number of army recruits, according to a senior officer involved in recruitment.

Ministry of Defence figures show a 25% rise in the number of recruits this year, with more signing up than at any time since 2005. This is despite the increasingly bloody conflict in Afghanistan that has claimed 81 UK lives so far this year.

where did the 43% come from?

I love the way Northerners thought they were the only demographic hard done by, when Maggie was in charge. Down south in the early 80's we had 'blackouts' for a couple of hours of a night where the 'juice' would be turned off, gas too and this was done during winter, b.loody cold of a night.

Why do you think we had the baby boom back then?
