Why did the number of sexual assaults and rape in the us military double last year?

Do™.

Because of the ever widening classification of sexual assault and rape. It is quite literally fuzzy math en masse. It is the same way they created that college rape culture myth... dilute the definition. I suggest the ladies take note of this. In the very near future no man will engage in normal dating behaviour as a matter of self preservation. Destruction of ones entire life is not worth a date.

It depends where they are stationed. In some theatres of war there are lots of women and the soldiers are free to rape and kill as many as they want. It depends on the tactics being used for a particular war. At the moment the soldier are mainly at the cleaning up and patrolling phase so they have plenty of spare time and get easily bored.
