Take this paragraph for example;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Statistics released Monday show that 6,172 sexual assaults were reported in fiscal 2016, up from 6,083 in 2015 and 6,131 in 2014, the report said. The figures include everything from groping to rape, and is still believed to represent progress because a Pentagon survey found that the frequency with which a sexual assault victim reports an attack has increased from about 1 in 14 in 2006 to about 1 in 3 last year. That ratio was about 1 in 4 the year before.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How do they know that the frequency that victims report sexual battery has improved? I mean, if it&#8217;s not reported, how does anyone know that it happened at all? It&#8217;s because of a survey;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Pentagon arrived at its findings both by compiling sexual assault reports and carrying out a survey in which more than 150,000 of the Defense Department\u2019s 1.2 million men and 227,000 women responded. The survey found that about 14,900 sexual assaults of some kind occurred in 2016, down from about 34,000 in 2006.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Everyone always tells the truth in surveys. How many of those surveyed were in the military eleven years ago? <\/p>\n<p>And there&#8217;s this gem;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Women remain at a greater risk of sexual assault in the military because about 85 percent of the force is made up of men&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I suppose that all men tend to commit sexual assault, so if we recruit more women into the military, that will tilt the scales in their favor. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not the military culture that causes sexual assault, it&#8217;s the popular culture that worships at the alter of the mistreatment of women. I&#8217;ll wager that women in the military are safer than they would be if they were on a college campus &#8211; and less than 50% of college students are men.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the social justice warriors in the Pentagon want to prove their value to the bureaucrats.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Chief Tango for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Post print as facts some stupid report from the Pentagon which is based on &hellip; <a title=\"Sexual assault in the military declines\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=71807\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Sexual assault in the military declines<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[237],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-big-pentagon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=71807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71807\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=71807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=71807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=71807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
