(CNSNews.com) - Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told a group of ROTC cadets on Wednesday that sexual assault is a "particular challenge and a particular disgrace" to the U.S. military.

He noted that last year, far more men (10,400) than women (8,500) "experienced unwanted sexual contact."

"We've made some progress," Carter said. "We seem to have seen some decrease in the estimated number of assaults, and we seem to have seen some increase in those reporting an assault.

"But, last year, we estimated that at least 18,900 servicemembers -- 10,400 men and 8,500 women -- experienced unwanted sexual contact."

Carter added that "too few" men reported the incidents as sexual assault.

"So, altogether that's 18,900 too many. No man or woman who serves in the United States military should ever be sexually assaulted."

"And as we spend more time and more resources to better understand sexual assault in the ranks, we've learned some lessons. And here are a few of them:

Let me help you out there, Ashton:

4 WORDS:

DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL


Your social experimenting with the U.S. Military has brought on bold moves by the male perverts in it's ranks.

Knowing there's very little chance of punishment or retribution, they're just waiting for that soap to drop in the shower.

Understand now, Ashton?

The origins of courts martial punishment for homosexual acts was to protect young boys from higher ranking men. This is the very same thing that is going on in today’s military.

Oh what ever could go wrong putting homosexual in the same buildings, showers, rooms, etc with whom they are sexual attracted too. It’s a bit like homosexual men with the boy scouts oh wait
http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article19181649.html.

Well nothing could wrong in the military could it, nah it’s like the TSA with homosexual men who stop male good looking passengers so these homosexuals can feel them up and get off .

Whether the boy scouts, choir boys, military, the homosexuals should not be placed in these positions.

What’s the betting that the MSM YET AGAIN ignore this about men being targeted by these homosexuals.

and not to mention you have ROTC walking around in high heels (red ones) to support sexual assault!! :)
Russian and Chinese troops HAVE been shown these pictures. I'm not a psych ops specialist but it would make sense

Wow, all those reported cases of 'unwanted sexual contact' and nary a mention in the MSM.

I wonder why.

So what’s the breakdown on the sex of the perpetrators?

Bump. There were lots of Conservatives, on here and elsewhere, screaming not that DADT wouldn’t work but that it would lead to a dramatic increase in sexual assaults.

The chickens have come home. Big time.

The homofication of the military continues apace. Yet another “transformation” brought to you by the LIBs: RINOs and DIMs.

Would requiring folks to wear red high heels to raise “rape awareness” on campus fall under unwanted sexual contact? Whoever the CO is that did this ought to run off.

I doubt a sexual assault is wanted.

Let me clarify that:

If a good looking gal wanted to sexually assault me I'd have to quietly agree so she wouldn't hurt me :-)

"We've made some progress," Carter said. "We seem to have seen some decrease in the estimated number of assaults, and we seem to have seen some increase in those reporting an assault...

Well okay, then.

I THINK this translates as: "We made up some numbers in an effort to make it look like we're making "progress", even though we actually have no idea what's going on"

It gives new meaning to a “blanket party”.

...either that or he’s saying a lot of the people who report unwanted sexual contact are liars...

Get the women and the queers out of the military, at least out of the combat sections. Let them play games in the office, not on the battlefield.

Indeed. You hire a homosexual to be an apartment manager, and you’ll discover five years later that every resident is a homo. Same thing with the faggotization of the military. The leadership, officer corps, all lift up their fellow homos to positions of power and rank. And they will all cast a blind eye to sexual harrassment and intimidation. A whole secret cabal of perverts running everything. When DADT was thrown out, it opened the doors to a terminal cancer within our military.

Showers and dropping soap will have to band.
