Secretary of the Navy Insults Marines, Dismisses Study on Gender Integration

Secretary of the Navy Insults Marines, Dismisses Study on Gender Integration | PJ Tatler
The secretary of the Navy has insulted a Marine task force by questioning the integrity of their gender-integration study that was released last week. 
A summary of data showed that “mixed-gender teams completed tasks more slowly and shot with less accuracy, and that women sustained injuries at more than twice the rate of their male counterparts.”

It took the Marine Corps nine months and $36 million to discover that all-male ground combat units were faster, more lethal and less inclined to get injured than units with mixed genders. The task force came to the conclusion that the inclusion of women in combat units had a negative impact on unit cohesion.

....Mabus, a career Democrat politician *with only two years of military experience before he was appointed secretary of the Navy by Obama, criticized the study during an interview with NPR, accusing the Marines of conducting the study in a biased manner.
