The stats do say 1 in 6 of all American women in their lifetime will have an attempted rape or completed rape. Have no way of knowing that figure is correct about women in the military.

Whatever the number is it is too high. Any guy who tries to rape a woman should receive a barbed wire enema. Seriously.

Here's some interesting statistics.

Quote:

At the heart of this crisis is an apparent inability or unwillingness to prosecute rapists in the ranks. According to DOD statistics, only 181 out of 2,212 subjects investigated for sexual assault in 2007, including 1,259 reports of rape, were referred to courts-martial, the equivalent of a criminal prosecution in the military. Another 218 were handled via nonpunitive administrative action or discharge, and 201 subjects were disciplined through "nonjudicial punishment," which means they may have been confined to quarters, assigned extra duty or received a similar slap on the wrist. In nearly half of the cases investigated, the chain of command took no action; more than a third of the time, that was because of "insufficient evidence."

What of their methodology do you disagree with?

***** Even if these figures are Anywhere near accurate I suspect the Military handled a lot of this the best they could. In other words most of it was inappropriate , against orders and contrary to Military discipline and order BUT it was in the majority of cases consensual.

****** BS accusations ex post facto can be the norm in such instances especially if searching for an answer after other matters arise.

**** The quiet now 30+ year Little Dorty Secret in all of this is that the Chain of Command is permeated with PC types who will not risk career advancement by stating exactly how counterproductive this current level of Female Military actually is at times. We have exe,pted mostly the upper Middle class from Military service and replaced them with a lot of Females also from the lesser socio econic environs. This is WHY you get this kind of stuff.

it doesn't match reality. I would 100% buy that at least 1/3rd of women in the military end up having a sexual relationship with a male in the ranks (i would actually suspect the numbers were higher than that); and I would bet that reports of that got switched into "rape". "oh well we had sex and he outranks me" get's counted as 'rape' kinda crap.

in fact, even the hint of sexual harassment or abuse brings pretty swift pain from the chain of command; nobody is immune. I have seen a captain of a ship go down for having an improper consensual relationship; the military takes that crap very seriously.
