That is not my case. But I have seen military wives that have been abused while they still married to the military member and no help was given because they were told that is a civil action. Is the military condoning this behavior in their members? That is not a good representation of someone wearing an uniform.

I know that some cases were reported to the military and still there was no help. My question is not to criticize our military, this is a real issue that is happening and should be brought so solutions can be made to help the victims. Denying this will not help and I understand that some military members does not deserve to wear the uniform.

Not as many as you seem to think, but in any event we're limited in what we can do with incidents that occur off base/post in someone's residence with no one willing to give a straight story. On a government installation we have jurisdiction (usually) but then you have to deal with an allegedly abused person who is dependent on the supposed abuser, is usually far from her home of record, possibly even new to the US and does not want to jeopardize the career of the spouse. It's an extremely difficult situation.

If he's harming you, call 9-a million-a million. Get the Police in touch. kinfolk violence is a criminal offense. someplace on your installation; even despite if it incredibly is a small one; is a relatives Advocacy workplace with a civilian counselor that makes a speciality of kinfolk violence. interior the army it noted as the Fleet and relatives help middle. It probably is noted as something else in the different centers. call the installation Command Sergeant significant in case you could no longer be certain what/the place it incredibly is. bypass away him. If he's separated from the provider *because of the fact* of a kinfolk battery value (and he *can* be) you're entitled to greater or less 0.5 his pay (despite if he's kicked out) for no less than one 3 hundred and sixty 5 days with a max of three years to initiate a clean existence without him. yet you could by no ability reconcile or stay jointly returned. this device is noted as Transitional reimbursement for Abused kinfolk.

This is an all too frequent fall out during war time! During normal times domestic abuse is higher amongst military personnel, than it is in civilian society.
The reasons for increased violence can be seen in the youthful ages of many married couples. Finances, long separations, alcohol, single parent responsibility, these all play a part in the increase of family violence.
The emotional and physical suffering because of war, and injuries suffered during combat, only exacerbate an already serious military problem.

It really depends on whether it is on post or off post. MPI, and CID do not have off post jurisdiction to investigate off post. It would be the responsibility of the Cities Police Dept., however; if the spouse goes to a military treatment facility then a Victims Advocate would be called, and MPI would be notified and they can work a joint case with the locals.

If they are "ex spouses" then they are no longer associated with the military, and we do not track how often you civilians beat your wives.
And why should we intervene if you guys are beating these "ex spouses" that is what the police are for.

How many of them didn't report abuse to complain that no action was taken?
Why does everyone insist on demonizing the military?

I don't understand?
Isn't domestic violence a civil matter?
What would the military have to do with it?

It is a CIVILIAN and PRIVATE matter. it is not the military's responsibility. It is the abused spouses' responsibility to get out.

Um....14?
How the heck would we know? This isn't a question, it's an ambiguous accusation, and one that can't be questioned, because it's in the form of a question. Kinda a cowardly way to make your case, isn't it?
