This is true. I actually knew a man this happened to. He was left with so much trauma from that, he developed severe ptsd. His ptsd can be triggered so easily that he can't really hold a relationship.
When he reported it to his commanding officer, it eventually led to him being dishonorablely discharged.
Since then, the military has corrected it to an honorable discharge and has paid him out a settlement.
I have no idea what this dude is up to.
So yes, this happens to men in the military, and it often goes unreported because of situations like this. The soldier in question wanted the military to be his career and he lost everything.

Male on male military sexual assault is also a thing. With studies. But telling he doesn't think dudes are capable of that.
