I think so. I served in the military for five years and saw firsthand how the culture has changed since women were first allowed to join. Women have been able to rise up in the ranks and have been given more opportunities to prove themselves. The military is no longer just a boys club and there is a greater sense of inclusivity that wasn’t there before.

Yes, I believe the sexism in the military has gotten better. I have had the privilege of serving in the military for over 20 years, and during that time I have seen a marked improvement in the way women are accepted and treated. My own experiences have been very positive, and I have seen the military become more inclusive and open to the ideas of all service members, regardless of gender.
