Racial & Gender Discrimination in the Armed Forces

Paper Summary:

This paper states that the phenomenon of racial and sexual discrimination has recently been made more public after a greater awareness of their existence has been surfacing. It briefly looks at the effects of such actions within the military and questions whether anything can be done about it.

From the Paper:

"Yet, unlike the movies or the press accounts the resolutions were not easy to come to and the responses did not elicit satisfactory results for the victims and the dramatic public accounts are just the tip of the iceberg, the very extreme cases. In real life, in the military the daily occurrence of such discrimination problems far outweigh any public awareness of them. Racial and especially gender discrimination are still problems needing address within the armed forces. As there has already been a marked success, resulting from the relatively high rate of racial minority enlistment in the military, it is suggested that the organizations use their own success as an example for how to deal with the newer transition of desegregation of women in the military."
