inspector general said nearly one in five female cadets surveyed said they had been sexually assaulted since arriving at the academy.

This makes me think that the screening process is lacking. If these women can't handle sexual advances during training in a supervised atmosphere, how will they deal with the real world.

Remember the rash of " I was abused by my father as a child" cases in the 90's ? Investigators can convince you that you were raped Bert !(IRS not inclusive)........besides they were wearing those provocative and really sexy BDU's and had it coming to em.....:o)

All kidding aside I can believe that crimes did occur as did violations of the honor code there. It has happened since the first splitail loootenant wannabe arrived and human nature will make it happen till the last one leaves. There are both male and females that shouldn't be there . A male or female that violates the rules of fraternization should be returned to the civie world before they become a bigger burden on the services by their inability to follow regulations , rules and directives during training and selection processes that were developed to do just that.

If a cadet can't follow, they sure as hell can't lead. Kick their ass to the curb and leave em blinking in bewilderment looking for their mommies IMO.

Stay Safe !
