=== If you're saying that male U. S. soldiers are prone to be rapists, then just make your point plainly.

Oh, get serious.

If anything, I'm saying that a claim of "sexual assault" makes for a nice excuse when one comes home pregnant. Just like crying "rape" is awfully convenient once one has willingly and knowingly compromised themselves.

There are many conclusions which may be drawn from the exponential rise in sexual assault against women contemporaneous with the Sexual Revolution and "leveling" of the sexual playing field with birth control and abortion designed to make women more like men. But I suspect that part of the inflated numbers comes from the fact that women aren't like men and -- to this day -- continue to be caught be surprise when it turns out they're not so "equal" as they thought.

Further, I'm saying that it's ludicrous to think that sex is not traditionally a predominant form of "stress relief" for the military. If prostitution is the oldest profession, camp followers surely have had the easiest of the sex-sells pitches where "location, location, location" is concerned.

I can't for the life of me conceive of how it is a woman would look particularly attractive in uniform. Personally, I don't even like wearing pants; fatigues, vests, combat boots or helmets would be among my very last choices for seductive apparel ... Hollywood's bid to sex up the homosexual-hard body of GI Jane notwithstanding.

But I can assure you that sex would cross my mind on a regular basis were I stuck with a bunch of men in uniform tweaking "gear" all the time, no matter how grimy or gross we all were on a regular basis. It's distracting. And beyond the instinctively physical, there also develops a natural intimacy among team members together 24/7 which is better left to the realm of blood brothers rather than risking anyone's falling in love and losing their focus while lives are stake.

I don't like situations where the only choice is to deny our natural human natures or turn ourselves into something other than human such that women are no longer to be protected or the sexes are no longer to be attracted to each other. There's no other option where women in war is concerned.

There's no realistic or honorable direction into which the subsuming of more base desires may be directed. Likewise, there is no benefit to be gained by mutilating both the feminine and the masculine into Things courtesy of PC training whose own very different Male and Female minimum standards screams the fact that men and women are vastly Different sorts of Persons regardless their equal standing as human beings.
