    Bases in the US also have this issue. It is systemic. Stateside, prosecutions of soldiers who rape women don’t see the light of day. The Florida panhandle is awash with stories of GIs raping women and facing zero consequences. I’ve friends that this has happened to. The whole damn system is guilty as hell.

      trump is known to have raped many women and republicans still want him to be president. The fact of the matter is that certain people just don’t care about women and them being raped. We call those people republicans.

        Fuck the Republicans, but the Democrats have had just as much time and power to deal with this systemic issue and have done nothing either. The military acts with bipartisan impunity.

      And conservative voters see any measure to tackle this issue, no matter how benign, as “weak liberal nonsense” and “a waste of time” that cheapens our fighting ability. Of course I’m sure their hearts are set on what’s best for our military, and not that they’re sexist, racist abusers who don’t want their sexist, racist abuse to be challenged.

      This issue goes back at least as far as living memory for the US. We were particularly vicious to German women at the end of WWII. GI’s having illegitimate children with local women in Asia during our multiple wars there was so common it’s basically a trope.

        To be fair, it isn’t important enough to either party to substantively deal with, because they would have.

        Hell the only brothel I have ever seen had a yearly police support sticker all in a line by the door.

        There are still people who do not know this, unfortunately.

        Don’t have to be aware of any one particular base to know that all the bases have these problems.

          Oh I was just pointing out the fact that we have a base on U.S. soil where soldiers are violently attacking their own men and women in service - apparently the worst base on U.S. soil due to its crimes.
