Sexual assault prosecutions officially out of the chain of command

I respect that answer. Me? I think segregated service units would greatly reduce the incidence of sexual abuse and assault. Combat Arms, Basic Training, etc., should have separate units for men and women, just like we do in sports from 7th grade through professional leagues. Women can excel at soldiering, with or without men. I served most of my 22 years in integrated units in medical and Military Police. It worked for the most part, but the intimacy and camaraderie required for combat arms is different than for combat support and combat service support. Nature is a powerful force for some. No excuse, but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to know men and women do better at a lot of things separately.

Segregated service units would help, IMO. Especially in combat arms, Basic Training, etc.
