Despite the US military's exemplary set of rules governing both race relations and gender discrimination, it has experienced repeated sex scandals and lingering racial tensions.

Suggests that recruiting from an increasingly diverse demographic pool may improve future prospects, but must be accompanied by changes in military culture.
