Yes it is sad that there are even bad apples in the US military. I know there are checks and balances that weed out many of these people but some times a person can slip through the cracks.
Just like in any profession you are going to find bad apples. The main thing is finding them and removing them before a cancer sets into that area of the profession.
Some soldiers come into the military with issues and treat being a soldier like being part of a college fraternity so they end up in trouble. It shouldn't be this way, but the female soldiers do need to take precautions as they move around base as they would in civilian life.
