My initial reaction to the article was the same as those above and below. Most civilians have no way of knowing that "friendly fire" is not perceived to be accidental. If the military is trying to reassure people that they are taking the problem of rape seriously, they need to know that their message is not getting across.

By abusing us for our stupidity in not understanding the jargon, you are shooting the messengers! We are here as civilians to give feedback to the writers of that article. They should be grateful, imo, to learn that their message is being misunderstood. This gives them an opportunity to correct the problem by explaining the jargon and being more detailed in their explanations.
