And according to the Pentagon, 38 men are raped each day in the American military. The rate of rapes against women soldiers is astronomically higher, as is the near universal rate of sexual harassment of women in the military. The constant training is an effort (albeit a misguided one) to impact this. The military is the ultimate dominance hierarchy and the ultimate rape culture. A large percentage of nurses returning from Vietnam had PTSD, not from war-related events but from how they were treated by their fellow male Americans. The fact that this guy imagines that rape is rare in the military illustrates your premise perfectly.
