China's armed forces recruiting dozens of British ex military pilots in 'threat to UK interests'
All British former service personnel, who have accepted jobs to train Chinese military pilots, "are almost certainly enhancing China's military knowledge and capability," an official has said.
There’s the rub of it. You give all these guy’s highly valuable skills. Then you repeatedly downsize your forces and run them out of the Military.
While simultaneously knowing full well you no longer have the domestic industry in place to absorb the Jobless Ex-Fighter Pilots. Now you act shocked that they took their skills that are comparatively rare and got a Job with someone willing to pay them for those skills.
Mercenary Work is one of the oldest trades in the world. Yet it still surprises people that it exists. Private Military contractors make damn good money.
That is certainly the Normie explanation. I would say the UK government is doing this intentionally and attempted to cover it up. People who are running Western Civilization governments are evil and bent on destroying the countries they lead.
I did something like this in the 80's but on the maintenance side of things. The UK recruitment agencies require you to form yourself into a limited company as that will relieve them of the burden of PAYE taxation (pay as you earn)
