If you woke up in a hotel room as she did and absolutely knew you were drugged and raped, as she described it......the first thing you would do is....go back to work?

Maybe i'm being naive here, but my first call in such a cut and dry incident, as it has been described by her, is to go straight to the police and file a report. Hotel camera footage, key cards, time stamps, possibly even physical evidence from both of them, witnesses, sworn statements, whatever is available, is collected immediately.

If this went down the way it looks...

She's sick, scared, ashamed, and possibly under the influence of who knows what. They get pulled off the trip and assigned a DHD back to base. She's on probation, is she going to go AWOL at this point? No she's probably going to get on the plane just like they told her to.

Obviously it would be HUGELY helpful if the police had been called and evidence secured, but it's very common that doesn't happen right away. Even the military recognizes this and provides an official avenue for a victim to get help without involving the legal authorities... but that would include medical help and counseling, ensuring the victim understood the benefits of timely police involvement. Not sure if she got that kind of assistance in this case.
