Concerning to see in a Multi-Racial country like Britain there are some who are more prepaid to join the jihadist militants than their own country's reservists, seems to me they don't deserve to be given the honour of being called Brits.

Another complete non sequitur....

George Orwell joined the International Brigade in Catalonia ( see Death in C ) in 1936, and no, somehow I dont consider that as un-British.

Logic fail aog.

This is unlikely to be a comparative choice: "I want to join a group of fighters, but must decide which one? The jihadists? Or The British Army Reserves? Hmmm decisions decisions."

What you are alluding to is that the number of people joining the Reserves is less than the number (apparently) joining Jihadists in Syria.

Looks like the Army need to review their recruitment programmes.
