I always find it fascinating that our military can condition kids to murder people without a second thought, but keeping them from raping their colleagues is just too much of a challenge.
Does being in the military cause Americans to want to commit rape, are Americans who want to commit rape more likely to go into the military (and is the military exploiting these or related tendencies during recruitment or their time in the military?), or are Americans just very likely to commit rape in general?
The sexual assault rate for both men and women in the military is significantly higher than the national average. One possible reason is that it places significantly older adults in positions of authority over young people, leaving them open to abuse.
