Women are far more likely than men to be kicked out of the military under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy against gays in uniform, according to government figures released Thursday that critics said reflect deep-seated sexism in the armed forces.

The disparity was particularly striking in the Air Force, where women represented 20 percent of all personnel but 61 percent of those expelled.
