More than 2,000 left in April and May alone, about one in 50 of the fighting force. But just 660 recruits were taken on to replace them, the latest figures reveal. Defence sources say battle-weary troops, many just back from fighting the Taliban, are leaving the Army rather than signing up to return. =========================== What is the ratio of muslim soldiers in UK armed forces?
