1. According to the article, what is the point of view of Marine Corps officials toward gender integration during platoon training?

The Marine Corps officials do not welcome the idea of gender integration during platoon training, thus they are very slow in having the male and female gender train together.

Explanation:

The article, "The Marine Corps battles for its identity, Over Women in Boot Camp," by New York Times, reveals the unwelcoming attitude the US Marine Corps has towards gender integration during platoon training. They believe that doing this will mean defying the long-standing tradition already in place for a long time in the corp. The leadership believe that it instills unity and togetherness when both gender train separately and complete tasks successfully. More so, they think that since they have had success training Marines over the years in this manner, it is wise for them to continue in the same way.

Of all the branches of the military they are the slowest in adopting gender integration during platoon training and this might be a contributory factor to the statistics that showed that there were only 9% of women trained out of the 185,000 Marines in the US Marine Corp.
