It sounds like the military has been “evolved”. (Add chimp sounds).
Question - how many of these so-called “unreported rapes” were actually queers or hidden homosexuals either trying to game the system (i.e.. lawsuits) or are trying to justify perverted behavior to friends, colleagues or relatives after the fact?
This article is complete and total hoseshyte! I spent 23 years in the Marine Corps, I have a son in the Marine Corps, and I still have friends on active duty. None of this crap is going on. The military is still what it’s always been, an honorable proffession with honorable people in the ranks. This chicken little garbage does nothing but harm the good men and women who put their asses on the line for each of you every day. I’m very curious to know just how many of you posting on this thread have actually served, because the tone of many posts suggest many of you have no damn clue what the culture of the military actually is.
The longer this goes on without it be addressed you’ll be seeing more fratricidal violence and “accidents” than the military will want to admit.
I would hope that rapists (regardless of the sex of the victim) would be imprisoned for life). If the military courts fail, I would hope that the victims would seek justice “by any means necessary”.
FReepers... if you love your children, please do NOT encourage them to go into today’s military. Having served 28 years in the AF and retired in 2004, it pains me to have to say that, but it’s become a dangerous place now.
That ship sailed long ago. That ban will never return.
Who could have seen this coming? I mean seriously, who?
Don’t fret folks. These rapes are just a misunderstanding.
Homosexuals have rights too you know.
Don’t jump to conclusions.
This is just an office related infraction.
Besides, Homosexuals are simply peaceful ex-closet inhabitors who just want to live and let live. Our children are not ever going to be their target. Our schools will never be their propaganda machine. They will never try to get the age of consent lowered. They will never try to get adult child sex to be legalized if consensual. And NAMBLA is a figment of your imagination. Relax parents. It won’t hurt as much.
Just like Islam and blacks, members of this community never address the worst actions of their members.
The results are in.
I just find it hard to believe that male rape is a common occurrence in the US services.
And I would be surprised to find out it has increased significantly in the last 30 years.
But this article is long on emotion and short on data.
My memory of services is that while there were always homos in the military, they were not open about it.
And male rape was unheard of. Anyone who perpetrated it would be discovered, tried and imprisoned with certainty.
If not outright killed by his fellows.
Sodomy at sea, ain’t fer me!
Nothing would surprise me, now that we have an armed services that treats two perverted homos as being the same equivalent as a husband-and-wife. Sheer depravity. I can no longer view the military in the same light I once did.
And when the men aren’t silencing themselves, the military is doing it for them by discharging victims for misdiagnosed personality disorders and letting their attackers continue to serve.
___________________________________________
this has happened to women for decades..
they get discharged immediately for being “unfit” “personality disorder” etc
the rapists go free...
especially if it is black male rapist/white woman victim..
the white woman gets punished for saying a black male raped her..
I find it hard to believe that things are as bad as this article states, but I would anticipate that things have gotten worse to some degree.
I have heard about homosexual bosses being more oppressive imposing political correctness, like that senior NCO in the Army Band a while back. Like many have mentioned, there has always been some level of this going on (Marine Corps too, particularly renown for aggressive butch lesbians and some gay male porno movie actors).
Also, I wonder if this might be a factor in the increased suicide rate that has been an issue over a similar timeframe?
But it’s not really rape rape.
The numbers are staggering, and they tell another story - that it just seems obvious that some members of Congress are not ignorant of the reports and the situation and yet are just as criminally negligent FOR THEIR SILENCE as would be a non-participating third party who witnessed a rape and said nothing.
Unfortunately, one has to suppose that an “I told you so” would be wasted on Obama.
I don’t see how you can be expected to defend yourself from the enemy, when there are such praetors right behind and above you in the foxhole.
