Quote:Those that are reported will end terribly for the accused (and accuser- it;s often a career ender for both parties) whether innocent or guilty.
Sorry. You are wrong. It will end terribly for the accuser, for sure. For the accused, well, that's a different story.
Notice the small number of reported rapes that actually go to court martial and the few of those that actually end in a punishment worthy of the crime? Because of this, they changed the policy this year. The commanders are no longer allowed to make the decision as to what happens when a rape is reported in the military. The Secretary of Defense changed the rule after watching the same documentary that led me to that article.
