I got out of the military right around the time when sex-integrated units started being pushed heavily, a few years after I was out, I saw that there had been the first sex-integrated training platoons pushed through Army basic.

Since then, I've watched footage of the training of these integrated units. And it's exactly what I thought it'd be- a bunch of men being held back by their weakest links (all of the females in their platoon). This leads to the females getting absurd amounts of attention, and thus the male recruits get a lesser quality training.

If male recruits behaved the way I've seen some female recruits behave, they'd be fucking discharged or brutally disciplined. But we can't expect women to be held to the same standard as men, everyone knows it, we just can't say it out loud without getting shit on.

Edit: For all the downvoting faggots: US is not the only country on this planet.

My original unit had no women at all and it was bliss, but they placed me in one of the support units to do some training for them (I was an NCO), it was an order and I couldn't refuse. After a few months there I requested to be returned to my original position, but it was denied, on the same day it was denied I turned in my resignation notice. It raised some hell and panic among the officers and it was hilarious to watch, but I had more than enough experience and it get's me all the good jobs in the private sector so I don't give a crap. Wouldn't go back if they paid me 3 times more.
