Armed forces on the cheap

What do you think about making redundancies in the regular armed forces and recruiting reservists. My take on it is of coloured by my experience of having family members in the armed forces.( none of whom have been affected by the redundancies) I think it's an appalling way to treat battle weary regulars. My worry about the reservist is that if there is another conflict and they are deployed will they put our regulars at increased risk who will fight along side them. I don't care what the politicians say there is no way their training can compare with the continual daily training the regulars get. (If I was asked to pick a 'regular surgeon or one that is a part time reservist surgeon. I know which I'd choose) I also think it's made to look like an exciting risk free way to spend your free time and make extra cash. If push comes to shove I wonder if they would feel the same if they are deployed to some foreign country with second class equipment watching and fearing injury or death? Believe me this is exactly what would not expected, but demanded of them. I think before they join they should also consider what would happen if they do succumb to serious injury or death. We repeatedly hear of the appalling way our regular forces have and continue to be treated. They will be treated no better. You can obviously see how I feel
