Peter Sprigg, Senior Fellow for Policy Studies at the antigay Family Research Council alleges they reviewed all the case synopses of 1,643 reports of sexual assault reported by the four branches of the military for the Fiscal Year 2009.
"Our startling finding was that over eight percent (8.2%) of all the military are about three times more likely to commit sexual assaults than heterosexuals," Sprigg wrote. He also said that many discharges under "don't ask, don't tell" were for sexual assaults, though the report does not disclose any percentages or figures.
