Talk:Sexual assault in the United States military

message: The following statement is not supported by the source that it is cited from:
::25% of military women have been sexually assaulted, and up to 80% have been sexually harassed.
The source says "As many as a quarter", not flat out 25%. Additionally, the sources cited by that source don't appear to support that number with regard to assault that has happened to all women during their military careers.
This one says that 23% of female users of VA services reported sexual assault. That is not the same as 23% of the entire military.
The summary from the other one also does not appear to support this 25% number. It lists a higher number of 50.9% that experienced sexual assault but says the majority of those assaults happened to soldiers during their childhood, before they were in military service. If someone has full access to this article maybe they can clarify the actual number reported during service.
Based on this I recommend the number be removed until it can be updated with a more direct source, or noted that it needs a citation. At the very least the cited number should be clarified with "as many as".

thread_title: Incorrect citation on Recent Statistics

message: In this sentence, "A substantial increase in reported sexual assaults was reported at the 3 U.S. military academies for the school year 2010 to 2011," "3" should be spelled out "three."

message: "The existence of sexual harassment and assault is an inherent contradiction to the spirit of the Academies that strives to and succeeds in creating strong commitments to honor and service."

thread_title: What about other countries?

message: Regarding the policy debate surrounding Don't ask, don't tell, it might be interesting if the article could try to determine how often the phenomenon of gay sexual assault occurs in the U.S. military, especially with regards to senior officers assaulting younger cadets and recruits. Part of this debate on gay sexual assault in recuitment academies in somewhat parallel to the sexual scandals encountered in the seminaries of the Catholic Church, where seminary students were sometimes found to be assaulted by their seminary instructors, and where a pervasive gay culture severely limited the recruitment of heterosexual training candidates.

replies: text: * A more substantive area regarding gays in the military and sexual assault would be the sexual assault of female personnel under threat of being reported as lesbians and discharged. Several near-rapes of lesbians and women perceived to be lesbians (either to "fix them" or under threat of being reported and discharged) are documented in Randy Shilts's book Conduct Unbecoming.

thread_title: Gays in the military

message: This article mentions the sexual assault of female soldiers over seas in passing. It should be elaborated on. Also, it primarily talks about military academies. There is a huge problem of sexual harassment and assault among enlisted soldiers as well. I would like to contribute. Any thoughts? Kaitlyn confer (talk) 15:18, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
