Victims of sexual abuse can call someone.

This is a common theme not just in Australia but in the US and elsewhere, and, sadly, not just in the military but also with Canada's national police force.

Australian military personnel have serious issues with sexual abuse, and, now, they can go outside the chain of command to complain. This is good, because there have been alleged incidents of their commanders not taking action or, worse, retaliating against the victims.

I am a libertarian, so I think the best way is for society to encourage sexual liberation - if men want fun, allow them to visit the proper establishments and indulge themselves. Most of us are proud of living in free societies, after all.

This happens, the "sexual abuse" that is, without doubt but I also think that it is a bit of a media beat up.

Out of all the many 1000s of service men and servicewomen over a period of years, a few dozen events have taken place. Surely the Army etc have the processes to deal with it without a new bureaucracy being established as we have done?

Hormones are a dangerous thing in the barracks and they will NOT be eliminated from military society.

In the Army or at least the Army I was in most women were ugly and thus immune from sex assault but the men were in danger .
