“Men and women-boys and girls for the most part-are now assigned to coed tents and barracks on deployments and in training. Even chaplains in the field are not exempt from this requirement. The result of this social experimentation has been an abundance of consensual sex-relations which would normally only hinder a male’s career; hundreds of pregnancies resulting in evacuations from warships and places such as Bosnia, leaving others to perform the duties of the vacated billet; unsubstantiated sexual harassment claims which destroy promising careers and foster sexual animosity. This creates a corrosive environment for males and females alike and entails untold financial and logistical burdens on a military already suffering deep cuts.”

In conclusion, If males treat their female colleagues as sisters, rather than potential mates, you’ve solved half your problems before they happen.

The problem with integration is not physical standards; it’s character standards. Men in the armed services need protection from harassment just as much as women do. Keep in mind that men will need to serve and work with women. The military is not some giant boys club where men can act like animals. The military is a serious job that requires highly skilled professionals. Only those men and women who accept both the physical and character challenges of the military should become soldiers.
