By that reasoning you should also ban men from the military. Gay relationships could be formed, and even friendships. Don't you think a person can have a biased view of the situation because of a friendship?

Rape does occur, especially in a brutal war with the civilian population. We can't move all the civilians, can't we?
Rape does occur on the Phillipines, by US service personnel. In Japan. Everywhere, where there is a large concentration of forces, with civilian girls being the victims. That is why military discipline is important. The only sure way to prevent rape, is by kicking all the men out of service.

Torture is banned. I know that at least some military personnel do in fact torture (it is an issue, if and when the orders originate from those in power). I don't see how one's sex contributes to that.

Luckily they have suspended the draft in the Netherlands, otherwise I would have to serve in an army that could be overrun by the Belgians, lol. I would be driven to suicide, without doubt.
