It's a slight thread drift, but remember the case of the Australian Rugby player Israel Folau, who was pilloried for his beliefs about homosexuals. Had he been in the armed forces and stated said beliefs, would his differences be 'valued' or 'considered'?

I think not.

I don't believe that that the armed forces, or anyone else for that matter, is as 'inclusive' as they would like to think. Most of these initiatives are carried out without fully thinking them through and someone is always on the negative end of them.

Which sort of goes against the whole point...
