You are correct. I was assigned at Fort McClellan here in Alabama back in the late 70s and early 80s. McClellan was the One Station Unit Training base for military police and the chemical schools. We had a major case of MP drill sergeants and even a couple of officers who were messing around with the female trainees. The sergeants, some with 15 to 18 years of services got convicted and kicked out of the service. Lost their entire careers!!
All that for a piece of tail.
When I hear people say that completely sexually integrated military units are possible, even desirable, they usually say something like “There are rules and regulations in place to prevent fraternization, sexual relations, and accompanying favoritism or power abuse.”
I usually point to things like this. That fact that men from all walks of life, from the top to the bottom of the power structures and ranks, will consistently disregard any rules, regulations, or anything else because the sexual drive and desires in Humans are so strong that many men will throw it all away-ALL of it, their country, marriage, reputation, job, even their life for sex.
It is why sex is one of the most widely used and highly effective tools used to entrap someone for espionage or extortion purposes.
And why I am opposed to a fully sexually integrated military. I don’t care how many rules are put in place, even if they put the death penalty in place, people would still break the rule for sex.
I am opposed, on operational and mission capability, morale, sustainablity, and operational readiness, but this fight has been fought and is over.
