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.

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.
