c.If yes, please explain:


Due to the way sexuall harassment is over used as an excuse for anything I think it is rediclious that there is NCO's that have to watch their back just because a lower enlisted female does not like him she can say he sexually harrassed her etc and lose his rank. I also Think it is crazy how slutty women that are assigned to combat arms units are. I also think that the current policy on rape and being drunk needs to be changed if we are both drunk why is the male always the one to blame when the night before the female was coming onto him etc but the next morning she has what the hell did we do syndrome? Why can't it ever be the other way around?
