The U.S. military can be thought of as a microcosm of American
society, bringing in people from diverse backgrounds and history to
defend one nation. Military leaders must address the same issues
and concerns as those found in the civilian world, including
exclusion, segregation, and discrimination. In some cases, the
military has led the nation by creating policies of inclusion
before civilian laws required them to do so. In other causes, the
military has lagged behind the larger society. The goal of this
book is to provide an overview of the ways in which diversity has
been addressed in the military by providing information about
particular forms of diversity including race, ethnicity, religion,
gender, and sexuality. Subject matter experts provide their
insights into the roles that each of these groups have played in
the U.S. armed services as well as the laws, rules, and regulations
regarding their participation. Ultimately, the authors utilize this
information as a way to better understand military diversity and
the unique ways that individuals incorporate the military into
their sense identity.
