The policies of the US military post-WWII can already be clearly defined as sexist and racist by researching the benefits differential between white male troops and let's say 'others'. That being said, I don't hold any resentment or anger towards those making decisions and would be hesitant to label any one person as racist or sexist. A person's policy isn't necessarily a measure of that person.
I do not know one way or the other in the case of the US forces (except Hollywood's view)
