According to the M5M, military "sexual assaults" have increased from 2016 to 2018. This is, of course, expected to happen whenever men and women are placed into close proximity in one of the highest stress environments known to man. And no, this is not me defending the perpetrators of sexual assault.
While I was in the military, myself and around sixty other men would be chastised for apparently personally sexually assaulting female soldiers by SHARP reps at least once every few months. I remember one particular black female SHARP rep stating something along the lines of, "you lower enlisted are the most likely group to commit a sexual offense! Why do you feel the need to rape?! Just stop!" Yeah that's how you really make a difference. Good job Army -- typical government incompetence.
Here's the truth of the matter -- the perfect fix for the problem of sexual assault in the military. Women do not belong in the military, especially not alongside males. Remove all women from most roles in the military and watch productivity skyrocket, and sexual assaults plummet. This is the only solution.
Zero tolerance policies will not work. As seen throughout the entire criminal justice system, treating the result does nothing to combat the underlying issues. That issue is the close contact of men and women in a high stress environment; it is not that sexual assault reports have increased, or are even being committed. Separate the two genders and the problem goes away.
