The military has been consistent in proving that it chooses to be incapable of investigating and processing sexual abuse cases, especially when high ranking individuals (flag grade) are involved. Subscribe to one of the "Times" (Army Times, Navy Times, etc.) for information. This is not a new occurrence, but rather has been going on for decades. No Commander wants a MSA report on their watch. It can be a career ender.

Prior to my retirement as Chief of Behavioral Health at Aberdeen Proving Ground, (Aberdeen has made it to "60 Minutes" twice for MSA over the last few decades) I was interviewed by the last DOD Military Sexual Assault Task Force. I gave them my experience with the process (over 40 years) and my opinions, some of which were included in the final report.

Just my two cents.

I voted other. I think if the victim is civilian then they get a civilian trial, military victim then military trial.

I think if you mix boys with girls bad sex things will happen in certain scenarios. Can't/won't be stopped.

A small percentage of people in any situation will always go against the rules. But I have no method of solving it, can't beat Mother Nature.

And it can be reversed where the female is the aggressor.

I once had a buddy brought up on sexual misconduct charges just for smiling and saying hi as we walked past a female soldier. It was all bs. He was cleared. Not saying every woman in the military is like that, but I learned early on, if they're in uniform, STAY AWAY!!!

So glad I was in combat arms and didn't have to deal with them on a daily basis.

Especially boys and girls in their prime with raging hormones.

This used to be called "Common Sense." Something the libtards are completely lacking.

If truly a sexual assault then the Perp should be handcuffed to a chair and the victim given a ball bat and five minutes to use it as they desire to gain justice and retribution.
