In 2011, the army announced that thirty thousand redundancies were to be made over the next ten years as a result of the economic climate. Such cuts, while perhaps economically necessary, are likely to leave those troops on the front line exposed and at further risk. At what point do the hindrances of economical cut backs outweigh the benefits? Further cutbacks expected are those to legal aid and speech therapy services; leaving some of the most vulnerable individuals in society worse off. However, some commentators suggest cut backs to legal aid are not only needed, but welcomed. It is hoped, somewhat naively, that a reduction in the amount of legal aid will prevent fictitious claims and reduce the number of divorces. This author is of the view that such cuts will only affect those who have suffered and need help; those wrongly accused who cannot afford who can no longer afford the legal price of freedom. After all, aren't our remaining soldiers fighting for freedom?
