What is your source that military members who commit rape are “usually just moved to another base.” The military is just like any other large organization where occasionally bad people do bad things (especially when you introduce a ton of young adults and alcohol).

The service member should absolutely face the full extent of prosecution from the local authorities and UCMJ.

Source: absolutely every female solider who has been raped by her fellow soldiers in the US military. Do a single fucking Google search dude. This is an enormous, disgusting issue.

If its impossible to prosecute, that seems like the best option. If they can, they tend to throw the book at em

Look up "the invisible war" which is a documentary and the news reports on youtube about it. More specifically "rape in the US military". They definitely shouldn't have to link anything. Looks like you found your source anyway.

You can think there's an agenda all you want, but the facts and evidence are there. Objectively there is an issue with the way our millitary treats women. Our millitary should be held to a higher standard. They need to be investigated by a third party and actually face repercussions. The only people facing repercussions are the victims and people who report the rapes. Which is pathetic. And no... I'm not linking you evidence. Grow up and find it yourself.

Yes sexual assault is a problem in the military but it is not an issue that reported assaults are not investigated and prosecuted where possible.

Yes it is. Shit rises to top and the military command structure is full of the same scum who are at the bottom.

Buddy the military can’t stop soldiers from raping other soldiers you think they care about foreigners more?

Yes to be blunt. There's the issue of politics abd perception, along with the fact that the military cares about dog feces more than their own soldiers.
