Any behaviour like that, previously “accepted” is totally unacceptable now. Try treating “frail” ladies like that now and watch your career vanish.
Yeah cant speak for the UK military but in australia know several who sexually assualted and 1 was raped. 1 specifically she was an nursing officer was sexually assulted by an NCO and private. Soon as she reported it, she was transferred to posting across the country, the soldiers in question were put on a plane to afghanistan away from civilian law enforncements. Bad part for her she was doing a medical degree and the new posting didn't have a uni for her to study at. She left the military a got a ton of compensation (took the military to court under whistleblower legislation), of the a 2 guys the SGT got busted to a corporal, the private was discharged for drug use before any charges were laid
