I wasn’t in the military, but worked in the military/industrial complex, which is modeled after whatever is fashionable in the military. After a very good career with nothing but positive reviews I was suddenly charged with sexual harassment. The fact the woman in question said no harassment took place was meaningless because the litmus test was if an uninvolved third party thought harassment took place, then it had indeed taken place. Reality be damned. I got the opportunity to question the manager in charge of my “prosecution.” We were in front of the site manager who would know if the “ethics” manager was lying. I asked what his goals and objectives were. As a goal, he was tasked with firing two individuals for sexual harassment by the end of the year. I was stunned. I turned to the site manager and said, “You realize, that eventually it will just be you and him working here and he’ll fire you for sexual harassment.” They both made a weak laugh. They weren’t able to fire me but because of political infighting, not because they did anything about their policy.
This reflects what life is like in the military. Anyone is much safer working as far away from any government as possible.
