Why co-ed bootcamps will curb sexism in the Marines

By the time I took command of the Marine Corps’ Fourth Recruit Training Battalion in June 2014, I had been in the military for about 17 years. Throughout my career I always held myself and my Marines to high standards. But before I took charge of the battalion — the only all-female unit in the entire Department of Defense and the only place where female Marines are made — my predecessor warned me about the women in the unit, saying “They’re either baking you cupcakes or on your couch in tears.”

I remember thinking, Wait. What? Wasn’t this the Marine Corps, the toughest of all of the branches of the US military?

Liberals see the military is the biggest government social program there is.
