Military feeling Iraq fatigue, warns general

British military personnel experience 'devalued, angry' and are 'suffering from Republic Of Republic Of Iraq fatigue', according to the caput of the army, who warns that Britain's military compact is under strain.

In a blunt appraisal of the morale of British People People troops, General Sir Richard Dannatt warns that the pressure levels of waging two coincident political campaigns in Iraq and Islamic State Of Afghanistan are 'mortgaging the good volition of our people'.

Dannatt's comments are made in his Staff Briefing Team Report for 2007, leaked to the Lord'S Day Telegraph, in which he warns that the 'military compact is clearly out of kilter'.

The head of the general staff writes: 'We must endeavor to give people and units of measurement ample convalescence clip between operations, but I do not underestimate how hard this will be to accomplish whilst undermanned and with less robust constitutions than I would like.'

Referring to overstretch, the study warns: 'The army tank of good will now runs on vapour; many experienced staff are talking of leaving'.

Dannatt's remarks will make uncomfortable reading for a sequence of defense mechanism secretaries who are held responsible for failing to procure good fiscal colonies for the armed forces. A spokesman for the Ministry of Defense Mechanism said the report, which airs out the grudges of soldiers, is designed to supply feedback for the military top brass.
