I did say 'some' liberals... like the poster responsible for this little nugget:
Why the hell should you hide who you are just to please the idiotic bigotry that is clearly alive and well in the RAF?...The RAF is about 30 or 40 years behind the rest of society when it comes to social attitudes and in some respects it still (along with the other services, to a lesser extent in my experience) serves as a haven for the socially inadequate, where they can maintain their "old-fashioned", or as I would call it, offensive, attitudes and beliefs.
Just because a large part of British society has gone to the dogs (anarchy, drugs, emo kids, X-Factor etc) doesn't mean the RAF should follow.
(And someone please shoot the idiot who first said "This is the 21st Century you know!!!" As if some arbitrary milestone on the Gregorian calendar implies that a certain organisation/method/society should change...
