“This is upsetting.”
It’s not upsetting, it’s Bull Squish!
Newsweak never met a negative image of the military that it didn’t like.
It is a growing problem...and so are the number of prosecutions. It isn't as widespread as male-female SA but it exists.
Anyway, Newsweak alleges the victim is 35YOA male; except this soldier's story doesn't even match the homosexual asault demographics which Newsweak supplies. Seems more like Tailhooker, again. Newsweak even fails to mention each of the military branches have different maximum age for enlistment.
Which leads me mention of the fraudulent data supporting the repeal of DADT. The methodology and means for collection of data is a crime.
Forcing service members to first watch a "required annual training" online course that demands sensitivity towards the civilian homosexual employee's sexual preferences. Members must take a quiz where questions covers Commandant's sexual harassment policy.
Then, force service members to take an "anonymous" online "attitudes toward homosexuality survey," where a member's rank, sex, age, and department which the member works, is all required demographic information to complete the survey. In a service as small as the USCG, any fool could accurately match the survey results to the individual that took it. Few members want any trouble for providing politically incorrect "wrong" answers.
Needless to say, the resultant data isn't even worth the drive space the study occupied; and that's why the left loves the data.
