1. The joint Chiefs acknowledge there are sex crimes occurring in the military.

2. They want to eliminate sex crimes entirely.

3. There is nothing in the article that compares military and civilian sex crime stats.

4. Nothing in the article contradicts the stats in TB's post.

Personally, I do not think it is unreasonable top expect a much lower rate of criminal conduct in the military, considering the regimentation of military personnel.

I have no doubt that the military is mishandling the situation as they tend to mishandle nearly everything that is not purely military. Of course they need to punish offenders but I suspect that the fraternization regulations are setting them up for failure.
