Mr Adams, I happen to know people in the military personally and even have family members in the ranks. I can assure you that these people are not remotely homophobic. Ones social class is in my opinion no longer such a large issue regarding the generation of social inequality. At least not to the same extent as it may have used to have been.
I know many people in the military, half of my friends from secondary went straight in, 2 more went in after a-levels. 6 went army, 2 went RAF, 2 went navy and 1 went Royal Marines. And I can tell you definitively, each and everyone was, and still is when I meet up, homophobic.

I'd suggest they just keep out of the Green Howards then, but as the government is going to get rid of it and make some new bigger regiment, you might not be able to rely on going for the right regiments. The best I could say it keep out of the infantry, and go for high skilled jobs where you'll meet more middle class soldiers.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
