1. Who investigates?

2. Would a civilian court have complete jurisdiction?

3. As part of a civil investigation, is the service member summarily discharged and remanded to civil authority?

4. Would the threats and retribution stop? Unlikely.

5. Why does Eagan believe civil courts would be more just and objective?

As long as the civil society writes off rape as the victim's fault, the military isn't going to change.
