    Meaning no disrespects but isn't it a problem for having soldiers on the front line wearing glases as wouldn't their glases reflect light etc and show where they are and also what happens if they lose their glasses and need them. ? I genuinely would like to know .

      No, it shouldn't be before anything, defence of the nation should be before anything. Wtf has diversity and equality got to do with the military? And if by diversity you mean blocking white people from joining but letting any other person in then may I remind you that that is racist.
