And in the current climate even the mere suggestion
of sexual misconduct is enough to end a career. Of course, unless someone
speaks up or the offender fails a urinalysis he may continue to skate. It
is possible, and not uncommon, for civilians to make complaints against active
duty service members to military authorities - often with "good" results.
While commanding officers don't like receiving the complaints they also don't
want rotten apples in their command.

I'd like to point out that it isn't just fake
vets who perform this kind of predatory snow job on women. Some real vets do
it too. I could name [but won't, for personal reasons - he brought a very
good friend of mine to the point of attempted suicide, and she can do
without the added publicity now] a Gulf War veteran whose specialty is using
his service record to impress unsuspecting women and con them emotionally
and financially. This guy is married, with kids, still a serving officer
despite known booze and drug abuse, as well as abuse of women [and of
course his family]. Much though I despise all fake vets, it isn't just guys
who WEREN'T there who can bring the US defence forces into ill
repute.
Both of my children are serving officers in
Army/NG. They tell me it is difficult for a person who uses drugs to get
by with it. I wonder how this person
manages?
