read my posts, and you'll note that as well as the argument that these people ought to leave for the good of the service, i make the argument that they need to leave asap for their own good.
unless you are seriously suggesting that they should be kept on till they are 65 and able to retire for good, then they have to leave the DF and go out into the world at some point -they will have a better chance to build a new life the younger they are when they start that life. keeping them on for another year, or two years, or five years is doing them no favours whatsoever - they will still have to leave eventually, and when they do they will be even less well equipped to make a new life in CivDiv than they are now.
so, are you suggesting the DF should employ 65yo Privates and Cpl's?
if they are monumentally stupid the will try to stay on - and in 5 years they will be in even deeper shit than they are now.
