I was recently looking at an official U.S. Air Force training video on sexual assault prevention, and it actually had a warning up front about "trigger words" and content.
Un-freakin' believable. So this Army vet wants to rib the Zoomies about it, but I fear that the Army probably does the same crap now.
We are expecting service men and women to risk their lives in combat. If "trigger words" bother them, what will happens when someone starts shooting at them for real?
