Abstract

A Panel on Fit to Fight: the Armed Forces and Cultural Change was held at the Institute on 11 May and these articles are based on the presentations. The title is a reference to Not Fit to Fight: The Cultural Subversion of the Armed Forces in Britain and America. 1 This book is something of a polemic. It claims that the British Armed Forces are threatened not by foreign powers, but from within this country, by ‘secular developments’ forced on the necessarily different world of the military. The matter of gays in the military was particularly topical as the ban was taken to the European Court of Human Rights2 the following week on 18 May. A judgement is expected three to six months after the hearing.
