I think the problem with the military is exactly because it is a male dominated institution. Just like Catholic Church there's a hierarchy that would protect the powerful high ranker to abuse those bellow his station. With Catholic Church there's not much hope, but with the military there is.

Women were already serving in combat, but were prevented to advance their carriers and receive higher ranks. With this new approval for women serving in combat, the brass ceiling is fallen. Hopefully when there are more females in higher ranks of the military, the plight of women who are abused is addressed more thoroughly. Men and women keep each other in check. I think whenever you make a gender-based institution, all goes downhill morally.
