Just wondered if any British Born Chinese would consider joining the Army here.

I am considering joining the army as I feel we the British public are being targeted by terrorists and all these bloody foreigners taking OUR jobs!!

I think those are pretty silly reasons for wanting to join.

Firstly you should be aware that it is not necessary to be British to join the British Army, so you will only encounter a number of those "bloody foreigners taking OUR jobs." I think it unlikely you would be welcome serving alongside people you hold in such low regard.

Secondly whether you join or not isn't going to have much infleunce upon terrorism. British Army anti terrorist doctrine concedes that terrorists can only defeated by undermining thier support networks, which can only be done through political means.

Perhaps politics would best suit your goals.
