The best commander in the world cant prevent a drunk sailor form getting overly horny and making a really bad decision. They cant follow them around all night.

I dont get why the military gets selective bashing on this.

Some may think they need to be held at a higher standard but they are still people, as are civilians.

Do you think the military is being unfairly singled out? Was Penn St also selectively bashed?

Of course sexual abuse is not a military issue alone, but they are clearly on the forefront right now as far as how not to handle this type of thing in the workplace.

They are on the forefront because the media chose to put them there.
Did the media make you aware of this or did multiple plantiffs call you up?
And they have been forced into a much more delicate situation regarding all this because our PC congress said they have to.

Blah blah blame it on the media.

If the military had their shit in order they wouldn't be in the news.

I'm not blaming it on the media, nor did I say that or imply that.
C'mon Matthew, I thought you were bigger than that.
This kind of thing happens across the board.
You're currently bashing the military because its currently the popular thing to do.
No entity in America has their shit in order regarding this.

A lot of rapists outside the military are convicted regularly.
So your point is crap.
And I will reiterate that the media put them in the forefront.
So your view of what the "forefront" is, is what cccn.com TELLS you it should be.
You fall in line nicely.....

Who said better? I think most would settle for "not looking the other way when female cadets get raped".

Bull f'n sh*t. No company I have ever worked at looked the other way while the male employees gang-raped the secretary over a lunch table. Because a) the notion of something like that happening is preposterous and b) they wouldn't look the other way.

Anyone else have something like that happen??

Note: and Penn State had their ass handed to them over it.
