It's never been much of a secret.

In any military.

This is not, mind you, any sort of justification.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

The part that gets me is that the victims are systematically treated like shit.

If the military left things like rape to the CID, instead of the victim's command structure, that wouldn't be a problem.

But that would make sense.

CID? I know that in the UK rape in the military is dealt with by civilian police. That seems sensible to me.

Criminal Investigation Division, an independent office in the provost's office.  They investigate serious crimes...Except for rape, for some reason.
