These are the least safe Army posts for female soldiers

Women in the Army have the highest risk of being sexually assaulted at Forts Hood, Bliss, Riley, Campbell, and Carson, in that order.

A new study released on Friday by the RAND Corporation looked at the risk of sexual assault and harassment for soldiers in the Army between August 2017 and July 2018 and found “considerable variation” for the risk to women at certain bases. Researchers said the average total sexual assault risk for Army women was 5.8% — meaning an estimated 5.8% of female soldiers were assaulted during that time — but several Army posts had a higher-than-average risk for women.

Wow, when I served in the Army many years ago there were ZERO female sexual harassment cases in our battery/battalion/regiment/division, because there were NO women allowed in the Combat Arms.

There sure weren't any male on male sexual harassment cases either because if it ever did happen, (well, you know).

Hey Generals, are you really, truly puzzled by why this is happening?

I have no problems with women serving in our military but I think the units should be segregated by gender. That's what we did during WW2 and that worked out very well for us.

Now that military is co-ed, we are seeing things like this happen, well, it's just human nature.

“ but I think the units should be segregated by gender.”

Sex. The word is sex.

Stop ceding the language.

What they don’t tell you is that many of the assaults are woman on woman.

The Army was segregated until the early '80's when the big co-ed Basic Training experiment began.

Been downhill since then.

I would have thought any base in a high Muslim area would be the worst.

“RAND Corporation looked at the risk of sexual assault and harassment for soldiers in the Army”

You gotta love how the &#%^&#% are always trying to conflate assault with harassment to pad their numbers.
