What percentage of uk population is ex armed forces?
Official statistics would be hard to find.However,there are still people alive who were in WW2,but they are in their mid-eighties now,at least.After that for a while,we had National Service,so there are people in their late-sixties/seventies that did that.That finished in the early 1960’s.Since then it has been a career choice,so very low figures for the last 40 years.Overall,not a high percentage,I would estimate less than 5% and decreasing.
