Description: "Through examinations of the U.S. military's racial and gender integration efforts, and its handling of sexuality, this book argues that the need for personnel filling the ranks has forced the armed services to be pragmatically progressive since World War II. Includes an introduction that offers historical context for understanding the U.S. military's relationship to social change, provides an in-depth examination of race, gender, and sexuality within the U.S. military since World War II and a conclusion that explores the future of military progressivism."--
