I think he's a journo and the hunt for a big "scoop".

I thought it was already well known that further cuts were being made, hardly breath taking news.

The Regimental Secretary of the Loamshires told me they are in amalgamation talks with the Halberdiers .

Obviously Dave wont care much for my opinion, but cutting the army down to 80,000 over the next few years is ludicrous. About a third of the Army was made redudant in the options for change back in 93, when apart from Op Banner, the Army was in peace time. I can only guess that the Government see Reserve Forces as the way ahead, to make up for the shrinking regualar Army. There is alot of reserve forces adverts on the tv at the moment.
