Aaron Allmon case makes Minot Air Force Base ground zero in military’s new gender wars
Combat photographer accused of making passes at women faces harsher punishment than Bergdahl
He is an award-winning combat photographer who stands accused of trying to pick up women in the public affairs office at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, and for that prosecutors wanted to put him in prison for 130 years.
The prosecutorial zeal was so great that an Air Force officer appointed to investigate the case said the piled-up charges were combined to “artificially exaggerate the criminality of the accused,” who often was simply “socially maladroit and crass.”
This is a glimpse into the new U.S. Armed Forces and its gender wars. It is a slice of military life stemming from the Pentagon’s order in 2013 to erase all sexual harassment and, to enforce it, staff the ranks with an advocacy bureaucracy to empower victims and make sure complaints are filed.

Let's see how this shakes out. There must be more to this than Scarbourough says. If there isn't then there is something seriously wrong with our services today.
