Obama signs sweeping defense bill

[Olog-hai]

President Barack Obama has signed into law a comprehensive defense bill that cracks down on sexual assault in the military. […]

The bill provides $552.1 billion for the regular military budget, plus $80.7 billion for the Afghanistan war and other overseas operations. …

The bill strips commanders’ ability to overturn guilty verdicts, changes the military’s pre-trial rules for interviewing victims, expands a special victims counsel for sexual assault survivors and makes retaliating against victims a crime.

In short, a female falsely accusing a male military member of raping her can do so with even more impunity.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Keep women off warships.

[oldbrowser]

Try this. Don’t put male officers and noncoms in command over female servicewomen, and vice versa.

Well, that would be segregation, which is a form of discrimination.

[GeronL]

discrimination is not always a bad thing

like allowing single men not to buy maternity coverage in healthcare and not forcing 70 year old women to buy contraceptive coverage

sure it is discrimination but it makes sense

[WXRGina]

What’s wrong with wise discrimination?

[2CAVTrooper]

Keep women out of combat arms.

Bring back the WAC’s and WAVE’s

[Eleutheria5]

So are male and female bathrooms. Do those go next?

[Eleutheria5]

Gives a new meaning to the phrase “drill sergeant riding your ass”.

[Candor7]

HJe signed a defence bill, and its based on sexual asault?

Look way behind that and you will see the seeds of destruction.

I do not believe anything that the press says about Obama. Its all just a huge charade of damnation and lies.

what about the record amount of rapes on men by homosexual men in the military since don’t ask was overturned, infact rapes on men have reached record levels now and that is what is just recorded or reported .

Oh yea , can’t mention men being raped in the military can we as it’s not PC, lets focus on just women.

I find it arrogant \\. I was talking to a woman yesterday who is down here and she thought Obama was good because his health care gave her free, yea free contraception . When I mentioned how it was not free, how he is lazy, , how he has made stupid dumb comments like Austrian is a language, 57 states, corps Navy man, how he did not know about fast and furious, Benghazi, IRS, etc, or how he vacations all the time. She actually thought I was making all of it up. I even got the laptop and showed her and she was still in denial .

[manc]

AGREE, women should not be on ships, especially Subs and certainly not on the front lines and before anyone gets to get all PC on me then I have served and had to write reports on when they were experimenting with women serving on the front lines and have seen how women can disrupt most men, can’t carry the weight etc

[Cheerio]

I am betting Pres ValJar signed it in the WH.

[manc]

problem is that those lies are watched and heard and believed by millions of dopes in the country and trust me I had a debate with one yesterday.

[csmusaret]

53% of sexual assault victims are male......http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/24/us/in-debate-over-military-sexual-assault-men-are-overlooked-victims.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

[Eleutheria5]

That would be withholding career opportunities from them, a form of discrimination. Equality uber alles. Career uber common sense.

[TurboZamboni]

Sounds like ships are becoming prisons.

[Blood of Tyrants]

And the majority of offenders are male. The homosexuals know that they can get away with anything thanks to the politically correct atmosphere in the military. Thank you presidents Clinton and Obama.

[Monkey Face]

I don’t wish the “pResident” any bad luck, but I hope he chokes on the bones.

[2CAVTrooper]

It would be keeping them in jobs that they’re capable of.

I was in a co ed unit in Germany, and when orders to deploy to Bosnia as part of IFOR came down, over half the females in my unit got themselves knocked up to avoid being deployed.

Look at the invasion of Iraq... Jessica Lynch was touted as some hero when in fact she was cowering under her vehicle as the rest of her unit was being shot up.

The marines just lowered the standards for females to be in the infantry.
