A very large number of officers have little or no responsibility for personnel and certainly don't have much say in the posting cycle of individuals. Their influence in the areas of LGBT and the rest of the diversity/inclusivity agenda is limited by the nature of the appointment in which they serve.
The services already suffer badly from the complaints procedure, which is regularly used to dispute lawful commands or to try to get 'revenge' when things don't go the way the complainant wants. The management of complaints is one of the few 'growth' industries within Defence and it would be interesting to know the numbers of personnel and their ranks who are involved in the management of the process and its cost to the Defence budget.
Unfortunately, General Carter is probably the wrong choice of CDS at this time IMHO and if the comments credited to him are true, he has just shown why.
