Up 50% from 2012 to 2013. Consider this, the Corps is hard Corps and homosexuality is still not acceptable in the ranks. I would venture to guess that although male on male rape may occur the percentage for the Corps would be low and the REPORTED rape rate would be miniscule.

Marines keep so much crud inside. The article does bring up the possibility that speaking out against an attacker could be what is raising the numbers and it is all heartbreaking. I get upset when anyone glorifies the “300” spartans. They were Greek pedophiles. No wonder sparta no longer exists. I digress.

The crux of the Pentagon data is here:

" In 2012, a confidential Pentagon survey estimated that 26,000 men and women were sexually assaulted. Of those, 3,374 cases were reported. In contrast, 5,061 cases were reported last year.

I'd go with the REPORTED numbers. I doubt any rape victim would not report.

There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE of an enormous surge of homo rape in the US Military. And those who have served likely have the same intuition as I do.

That sh!t simply would not be tolerated.

In spite of what crusaders choose to believe without evidence.
