"Sex is major reason military commanders are fired"
Heh.
"With all those offenses taken together, more than 4 in every 10 commanders at the rank of lieutenant colonel or above who were fired fell as a result of behavioral stumbles since 2005."
1. I don't think, when it comes to the issue of sex, the problem is that much greater now than it was 30 years ago. I do think the culture that chose to ignore it has changed. Interestingly, while the culture as a whole has become *much* more libertine, for some reason the military was supposed to be impervious to this.
2. What did you expect when you threw the sexes together in stressful situations? It's not like this wasn't predicted, and predictable. That observation coming from someone who is not hostile to the idea of women in the service.
3. The numbers cited, in isolation, are meaningless when used as a comparative barometer, because they don't actually have an accurate base to compare to (see #1).
Lastly, the reason the ratio of sex-to-competence firings is so high is because there haven't been enough non-punitive competence firings. But that's just a personal vendetta of mine.
