I said that the rape in the military is a feature, not a bug, of military discipline. The brass doesn't want it to be stopped - they do everything they can to prevent anyone from doing anything about it. They must have a purpose for that - my guess is that they want rapes to happen because they feel it is good for discipline, not bad. It ensures that psychopaths in the armed forces get ahead, that those who are not psychopaths are kept in their place, and the brass gets a properly de-sensitized military.
