A Pentagon report on reported assaults at the Army, Navy and Air Force academies shows an overall 18% jump in assaults reported by students compared with the previous year.

Reported sexual assaults at U.S. military academies shot up during the 2021-22 school year, and one in five female students told an anonymous survey they'd experienced unwanted sexual contact, The Associated Press has learned.

An anonymous student survey accompanying the report shows increases in all types of unwanted sexual contact —- from touching to rape — at all the schools. And it cites alcohol as a key factor. According to U.S. officials, 155 students reported assaults during the 2022 school year, compared with 131 the previous year. Of those, students at the U.S. Naval Academy reported 61 — nearly double the school's total for the previous year, when there were 33, which was by far the lowest of all the academies for that year.

Another 35 cases involved civilians, active-duty service members and prep school students who allegedly were assaulted by someone who was a student. All together, the total number of reported assaults with any connection to a student was 206 — about 28% higher than last year's total of 161. At the start of the 2020-21 school year, students faced a number of restrictions due to the ongoing pandemic. But those were reduced a bit over time, and bars and restaurants reopened. By the end of that year, the numbers began to increase again, and officials said it'sThe Pentagon puts out two reports every year on the number of sexual assaults reported by military academy students and by U.S. service members.

Based on the survey, attacks against women were most often by a male who was usually in the same class year and more than half the time knew them from school or other activities. Attacks on men were more often — 55% of the time — by a female who was in the same class year and knew them.

Feminist Propaganda makes no distinction about degrees of harassment or sexual assault. Being invited on a date is now classified as 'unwanted sexual advances.' The reports are MEANINGLESS. 😨

I think the obvious solution is to remove men from the military altogether.

They've decided to report. Not that the assaults increased. The students were now braver to report.
