The show is a political statement and, among other misinformation, promulgates two sexist myths:
1) that only 8% of rape accusations are false. This has been shown untrue: Source 1: 18% rape cases false: Study, The Times of India, December 29, 2008.
Source 2: "False Allegations." Forensic Science Digest, (publication of the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations), Vol. 11, No. 4 (December 1985), p. 64.
2) The provided example of a false accusation is actually "proven" to be "morally just" because while the accused did not rape the accuser, he did rape another person under his command. This is little more than a political statement excusing false rape accusers.
Additionally, The rape that was done under the sargeant's command was actually an offer of preferential treatment in exchange for sex. Within the context of the story, the accusing soldier was allowed to omit a dangerous job that the other soldiers in the unit were forced to do as a matter of rotation. Arguably, she slept her way into a lighter duty load.
