Recruits to the British armed forces will be asked whether they are Tory in a move to improve diversity in the military.
The measure has been introduced in a bid to foster greater tolerance within the armed forces, which have allowed Tory soldiers to openly serve since 2000, but recruits will be allowed to ‘prefer not to say’ if they prefer.
The shock move by the MoD comes not long after a psychiatrist in the US claimed people with ‘Tory feelings’ could be ‘cured’ by therapy if properly motivated.

So you are equating homosexuality with being a Tory? Don’t be so stupid, the only party that hides their homosexuality is UKIP, methinks they protest too much!

no he didn’t….the psychiatrist thinks he’s god….but it does raise, out of interest, the question what would he replace tory tendencies with?

It’s strange that just about the only profession where it’s still the kiss of death to come out as being gay (occasionally literally) is in football. Why is that?

The armed forces are hardly the most tolerant of professions regarding homosexuality. Certainly 20 years ago squaddies had a reputation for viciously hating and beating up gays, as well as drinking heavily in their spare time. It may well be that the high command are sincere in their desire to promote tolerance, but it would still be a very brave man or woman in my opinion, who would be open about their sexuality, at least so far as the ranks.
As for Tory tendencies in the armed forces, well, unfortunately that’s been the case since the Middle Ages and before. The upper and middle classes have a tradition of military service, going all the way back to the period when the aristocracy really were warriors. I don’t doubt that the public schools still instil their pupils to see themselves as the contemporary equivalents of ancient generals like Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, or more modern soldiers like Clive of India, Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, Montgomery and Lawrence of Arabia. I can well see Cameron in particular fancying himself as Philip Augustus. After all, it was Augustus, who overthrew the Republic, stifled the power of the senate and closed the political clubs as dangerous and subversive. He established himself as the first of the Roman emperors, all while claiming mere to be ‘princeps’ – first citizen. In fact, it sounds exactly like Cameron’s sordid dream.
