I'm in the military and it's a big issue; but by no means is this just a military issue. It's a problem in our society, it's just gets magnified because of the press on it. The people in the military consists of members of this country, so much bigger problem than just military.

Over the years there has been alot more training and programs for reporting it, so that could be the rise in them being reported.

I think the point of the thread is to highlight the problem that those that are responsible for bringing the guilty to justice are turning a blind eye. It does happen in "the real world", but the comparable situation would be the police choosing to not investigate the assaults or the judge choosing to just dismiss the case. Not saying that doesn't happen out here int he real world, but if I'm a female I would take my chances in a civilian court of law than a military given the current news reported facts.

Is this really news? I could have told you back when women started joining that if you mix young men and women into the military this would happen. For the most part we are talking college age kids and a little older.

If a college age kid is considered old enough to be trusted to go to war then he should be considered old enough to know not to assault/abuse a woman

Sad that some seem to expect this sort of stuff from the military. I'd like to think we can do better. A lot better.

^ Yes I'm sure all the fuss is over some rude comments.

The fuss is over the large number and my guess is that number is inflated because a rude comment is considered. I actually think it should be considered a complment.

BTW I did not make that up.

Unwanted sexual contact is everything from somebody looking at you sideways when they shouldn't to someone pushing you up against the wall and brutally raping you

Quoted from the forum rules -

Perhaps the most important guideline of this forum is this, treat your fellow forum members with the utmost respect at all times. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Hard to take those rules seriously when a moderator can go off like that....
