It was a good idea to avoid mattresses before. Now, you can add UCMJ rape to divorce rape and VD on the list of reasons to keep your dick dry while on post.

I knew a guy who just narrowly escaped the old process. We became... if not friends, at least associates after I was assigned to his suicide watch the night after he was charged. We ended up at a lot of the same bases through the rest of our enlistments. It took him several stressful weeks to accumulate the evidence that eventually cleared his name, and he was never quite as open or carefree after as he was before. A decent guy, damaged by the process because he was naïve enough to stick it in crazy.

On the flip side, at the same command there was a serial sexual harasser who never got in any formal trouble despite a habit of literally pulling his cock out and showing it off. He was just black enough to play the race card, and he knew it. He was also good at picking victims who'd say "Kyle, what the fuck? Put that thing away, I'm not interested." instead of talking to command about his behavior.

I'd say the existing process was broken in multiple ways, but I have no faith in this administration or its spiritual predecessor to actually fix the problems inherent to the system.
