Rape in the military

[SWCAdmin]

Received this from a fairly flaky correspondent. What say you?
(Edited to clarify -- the "flaky correspondent" was an obtuse anonymous emailer that I have NO reason to believe was the author.)

Rape rates in our forces are twice "normal", and that article asks
WHY, pointedly.

I almost didn't post this, because I scanned ahead to the recommendations and they are so pedantic and/or impractical that it is hard to take seriously. However, there is at least some serious discussion in there, and no doubt a serious issue.

BTW, no DACOWITS tie I have discovered.

This is not strictly a Small Wars issue, but a larger military one as this article is written. However, I wonder if the underlying violence / background issue highlighted therein has larger impacts on the challenges of the 3-block war, etc.
