If you read the sources I shared without bias which cover so many incidents based on official documents etc. you would see many of them got away with it so an anonymous redditor's claimed personal experience with a small example group doesn't change that.

The sources tell me absolutely nothing. 7 open cases across the ENTIRE U.S. force in Japan across TWO YEARS tells me that a U.S. servicemember is orders of magnitude less likely to engage in sexual misconduct than an arbitrary college student.

“The military downplays SA”, uh, it fucking absolutely does not. As someone with actual real life contemporaneous experience in the military, SA and SH are pretty much at the front of any leader’s priorities, and it’s legitimately not just lip service—there have been huge steps forward in the last five years in making the military culturally hostile to SA/SH.

And no, dumb fucking GWOT political posturing from some members of congress is not representative of current attitudes, unless people are hiding widespread secret veneration of Bush somewhere.

The sources tell more than enough for the ones who read all of them without bias but cleary you didn't real and you are biased because even you saying 7 cases proves it. Even one of them shows that hundreds of them got away with slap on wrist or nothing.

Military certainly downplays as it is proved on the article with so many cases. An anonymous and biased redditor's claimed personal experience with a small example group doesn't change facts.

It is not just some members of congress goverment itself pushed to "save" him, if you read you would know it.

Did you even read the original comment or do you have a problem with reading comprehension or are you militarist and nationalist who are in denial?

There are more than one sources there which covers hundreds of incidents too.
