The women, ranging from enlisted soldiers to officers...

I find it hard to believe that an officer's charges of rape would be ignored.

I hope these are actually being investigated. Given the destructive nature of the mere charge, it would not be difficult for a woman to lie for advantage or revenge. Soldiers should be worrying about the enemy not women soldiers.

Does the military have rape kits to collect evidence?

Even so, consentual sex can easily be called rape after the fact.

This does not doubt this crime is happening. However, just ONE false claim and all the legitimate claims are minimized.

The women, ranging from enlisted soldiers to officers...

Wouldn't an OFFICER have the attacker arrested forthwith? (Unless perhaps he was a higher ranking officer?)

And, out of thousands and thousands of consensual acts of intimacy that are taking place between female and male soldiers, would it not be logical that there would be 30 women who would cry rape afterwards (perhaps the same rate as among civilians?)

If the rape was by another officer it would be.

"I find it hard to believe that an officer's charges of rape would be ignored."

Absolutely.
This smells of *agenda*.

...to high Heaven.

I know a woman who was a Coaast Guard officer, and she confirms that even women officers are victims.
