Overview:
The Kinder, Gentler Military describes how the military - the most tradition-bound, masculine institution in the United States - spent the 1990s in a tortured attempt to reform its time-proven warrior culture into a politically correct value system. Stephanie Gutmann scouts the field - bases, ships, flight lines - to define the "New Military." She shows why the full integration of women into the armed forces is physically and sociologically impossible, and how the pursuit of this ideal is demoralizing to soldiers of both sexes. Gutmann's unflinching take on the state of the U.S. military will cause second thoughts on this vital topic.
