I have no experience with this sort of action in the military, but wouldn't it be similar to any other bureaucratic agency? In my experience, filing a serious complaint or allegation can quite often end your career even if the charges are found to have merit. People are often labeled as complainers or troublemakers (If they don't just get accused of doing it to get ahead or make up for some personal deficiencies in their duties.) No one would dare to do anything overtly to stymie your progress, because they are afraid of the multi-million dollars they probably would be forced to pay in damages , but you are often ostracized and forced out. Again, I am not saying I have any knowledge or experience to say this about the military, just personal and second-hand experience with it outside of the military.
