That's totally irrelevant to the issue at hand. If a boyscout is molested by a gay scout master, my issue is with the policy makers at BSA, and I would not hurl any smears at the victimized scout.

I would hurl plenty at any guardian stupid enough to allow him to be in such an outfit.

You may disagree with women in any role in the military, but either you're too simple minded or too cowardly to speak against the policy makers that permitted it and jumped into blame and belittle the victim mode from the outset of this thread.

Dude, i've been speaking against this since Patricia Schroeder first dragged out this stupid idea. Phyllis Schlafly used to tear her a new one on the issue.

I am a former military police officer. The military police corps exists, largely in part because soldier misconduct exists. I've seen violence done by male on male soldiers, female on male soldiers and male on female soldiers. None of it, when unprovoked, is excusable, nor the fault of the victim.

How well did the Female MPs do? Did you have to protect them? Or is this a subject you would rather not discuss?

I'd happily discuss my female MPs. Overseas in the ROK, mine were invaluable. MPs, by nature, have a lot more contact with the public than most other soldiers in the performance of their duties. It was much preferable that a female MP interact with a Korean female than a male MP in a trespassing incident, motor vheicle accident etc. Their mere presence of a female MP probably preempted a few minor international incidents. I had one female MP that regularly volunteered for town patrol with the KNP. Why? She liked to brawl. Did I have to protect them? As a company commander it was my responsibility to do everything in my power to protect all my soldiers.

Did I have some female soldiers that underperformed? Sure did. I had males that underperformed as well.
