One worries that the real reason might actually be to intimidate and humiliate our troops.

One wants our precious active duty (and this includes Cadets) men and women to "hang in there", better days are ahead, and to let all relatives and friends to know what's going on, and to vote GOP (assuming a conservative candidate) in 2016.

You are right, there's a lot more going on than meets the eye:

excerpt : This is problematic since men are much less likely to report these incidents, leaving their attackers in positions of power and keeping the pain inside to boil over into other relationships.

The power structure within the military also makes these attacks more prevalent, because men in lower ranks may find it hard to report their attackers if they are superiors.

'When a gunnery sergeant tells you to take off your clothes, you better take off your clothes. You don't ask questions,' former Marine Sam Madrid (name changed) said.

2016 will be the line in the sand... if it's a dem, it's over - not just for the military - a lot of American ideals, pretty much America all together.
