To quote the Fox News’ Jesse Waters:

“they’re gonna get out there, and women on base, you guys better be careful. Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful, because these guys are gonna be wild animals, and you better watch out.”

Does that clown realize that there are many women serving on Navy ships?

I mean, I'd assume those women already know the sexual violence problem in the military, either from word of mouth or painful experience.

Then again, I remember in college just how many women were completely goddamned oblivious despite information campaigns, common sense, and male friends literally going, "Yo so maybe you shouldn't get wasted with a bunch of strangers and crash in a random frat house bedroom." Like it sucks that we can't trust strangers to do what's right (even though 99% of them will), but it is what it is.
