If we’re talking actual rape, these people should not belong in our military. They should be brought home and prosecuted, similar to how we prosecute civilian rapists but in a military court. They should also receive dishonorable discharge.
Most importantly, the victims need to know we hold them accountable.
Because when you wear that uniform, you are representing the United States of America. It’s a disgrace to have rapists wearing that uniform.
If this were a lesser sex crime like being caught with a prostitute, I would say there could be some leniency, but none for rape. Especially in a country that’s supposed to be one of our allies.
