When i was in the AF 25 yrs ago saw this happen first hand in my own squadron. Nothing like spending quality time with OSI investigators.

Edit: had a couple of people send messages asking so the rest of the story...

Female Airman got stationed in our squadron in admin. About a month after she got there there was a dorm party. She hooked up with some other Airman there. Few days go by and we start getting asked by various Sgts if we were at the party and who else was there. Then we start getting called to OSI building to answer some questions. Turns out this female Airman was engage to a marine she met at tech school. Apparently she felt guilty for cheating and told her fiancee that she was raped at the party. He reported the rape to his superiors who forwarded to our base. Needless to say she wasnt around very long.

So, about the McDowell report. It doesn't actually say 60% are false. It's said about 200 out of 1200 reports were false, and any others that for some reason scored low on his checklist were also categorised as false. So that about 17% or so.

However the McDowell list is considered to but utter bollocks by better researchers. It's design is super shady. Most rapes committed would score in the false number because of how it's scored. Amy score above zero is considered to be false, and it was designed to discredit claims of a rape epidemic in the military. It was dumped in 97. There's an excellent criticism of it and this article you linked in this pdf

The military was the microcosm where all of the false rape shit got started. Honestly, it was the main reason I got out.

The McDowell study has come up a few times in the past, btw, including on this sub:

Looking for McDowell’s 1985 study
