...important to note that the Sex Crimes Division's jurisdiction has recently been extended to include venues formerly off limits to it, e.g., "Tailhook parties." Prior to forcibly mauling, undressing or fondling female partygoers, military personnel should first ascertain whether said females are legally married and whether the alleged marriages appear to be stable ones. There will be no penalty for forcible sex acts committed on women who are married but estranged from their husbands, who have recently quarreled with their husbands or who are happily married yet appear to be "asking for it."

This is not about sex and its regulation or lack thereof. This is about...
...lost on the Army, though, when it announced it was filing rape, assault and sexual harassment charges against three male officers responsible for training new recruits at Aberdeen, and investigating at least 17 others. The most far-reaching scandal to hit the armed forces since the Navy's 1991 Tailhook incident threatens to undermine the thing that many in the military hold sacred: the chain of command. It has also teased out an alarming number of similar allegations at other bases around the country. But hoping to avoid a repeat of Tailhook--in which no one was ever convicted after...
