I am commenting only on the events described as I don't find them very believable. And I did specify that it does happen. I just do not buy the claimed numbers for rate.

And I question the complete lack of investigation by the author. All stories are accepted at face value.

There were DoD reports about the incident rates for sexual assault of women in the service and many active duty females openly questioned the claims then as exaggerated.

While sexual assault is a serious issue, over dramatizing it, does no one any good.

That crap article is long on drama and short on data.

Look at BMT's quote; 38M men per day....That can only be a world wide statistic but they provide no context. And why is sexual assault outside the military even mentioned? Probably because the claim does not hold water and little concern will be generated without exaggeration.
