WASHINGTON — Army Col. Kathryn A. Spletstoser says she had returned to her hotel room and was putting on face cream on the night of Dec. 2, 2017, after a full day at the annual Reagan National Defense Forum in California, when her boss, Air Force Gen. John E. Hyten, the commander of United States Strategic Command, knocked on her door and said he wanted to talk to her.

The military’s itinerary of General Hyten’s movements that day in Simi Valley, which was viewed by The New York Times, said he was having “executive time.” Colonel Spletstoser said in an interview this week that her boss “sat on the bed in front of the TV and asked me to sit down next to him.”

According to her account, General Hyten reached for her hand. She became alarmed, and stood back up. He stood up too, she said, and pulled her to him and kissed her on the lips while pressing himself against her, then ejaculated, getting semen on his sweatpants and on her yoga pants.

In April, President Trump nominated General Hyten to be the next vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. If confirmed, he would become the country’s No. 2 military officer, helping to oversee the 1.2 million active-duty American troops at home and deployed around the world.

Rape culture and military violence share one thing in common: doing stuff to other people by violent, physical force which they do not wish you to do to them.

So long as the population tolerates leadership that insists on military violence as the primary way to deal with all international problems, then such a population can be said to support an ideology of force as a primary good, with all other conditioning variables receding into the ideological background. Force, in this scenario, becomes not a last resort, but the primary focus and ideology around which the entire government operates. Predictably, when run this way, chaos results.

Governments are not always looked at in this way. They can also be seen as managerial, justice seeking, conciliatory, exploratory, redactional, overseeing, compassionate, fiduciary. No government that rules by force, fiat and fear has ever survived.

Trump, McConnell and the current crop of warmongers, oligarchs and Republican anti-democracy promoters have in fact been overwhelmed by the idea of force as the greatest good, or at least are willing to believe that it is the greatest, best means to certain outcomes. This is the path to (obvious) ruin.

So, as long as there is this massive struggle in the government to force people to do things, rather than to simply manage the nation, it will tend to select and promote those people around whom the ability to exercise force and dominance are primary character traits.
