This “issue” is so bogus.
Military sexual assaults are no greater and the general population and some studies on the military assaults are 50% are same sex, which makes since since the reported events have exploded since open homosexuality.
Lots of homosexual rapes happening in the military now. Anything that exposes that to the light of day is a good thing.
I haven’t read the bill, but as long as it doesn’t have hidden protectiosn for faggots it should be ok.
Wonderful - 3 people who have never been on active duty and have no idea what the UCMJ is now want the chain of command removed from judicial cases!
No. It's a good issue. If a woman wants to enlist in the military, she shouldn't have to fear sexual assault. It's a good issue for conservatives. Think about it....women who want to be in the military and don't want to fear rape are good candidates to be constitutional conservatives.
I read that about 14,000 of the 26,000 sexual assault victims in the military in 2012 were MEN.
What does that tell you?
Victims of sex assaults in military are mostly men

Obama worship is a culture of rape.
Placing more men and women in close contact as is happening in the armed forces, will always increase the frequency of sexual contact, consensual and non-consensual. It is as natural as day and night. Call it biology or hormones, but it is a fact of life.
IMO the fact that the armed services draws in the more “macho” type male than the normal population leads to the more aggressive and non-consensual encounters.
I am expecting Obama’s military leaders to soon call for the enlistment of only feminized males to reduce the frequency of non-consensual sex.(ya think?)
Certainly the Afghanistan war-lords will lobby for this change in enlistment standards. They love young boys.
No, our military judicial system is NOT what it used to be. If Dempsey is against it, I’d NOT be worried about it. There is a lot of bias int he system these days and it is not good. Good people have been stripped of rank for their political and personal views, and just trying to stand on Constitutional issues.
Don’t know what’s in the bill; but you have to be suspicious when a Demorat is involved.
