It's never been much of a secret.

In any military.

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

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.
