My friends in the Pentagon tell me the civilian appointees routinely say that the military's macho male culture needs to change- that it is the source for all things evil in the world...

This isn't the case across the regiment, I wonder why SWCS is leading the charge on this one. We are going to a strange, new place.... how very sad.
As for the macho culture, by all means try and get rid of it. Your recruiting and retention of warriors in the Marine Corps and Army combat arms branches will dwindle. People come here, and stay, to be part of a warrior culture. If it is dismantled, they will reap what they sow in the mid-term, not to mention the next war. Wars are won and lost by people, not equipment, and the intangibles matter.
