A friend in the service who has a higher rank told me that not only is sexual assault skyrocketing in the military, same sex assaults are at the core.
Not your father’s military.
I guess I’m just old and jaded, but why is this claim so incredulous to me? It would seem, if anything, the military is SO attuned to these kinds of problems and claims now their whole OPS plans and structure is geared to stop it.
Doesn’t training to be an officer include having the courage to SPEAK OUT and REPORT these crimes, even if you get treated badly afterwards?! If a bunch of cadets can make you cower, how are you to lead troops in battle? It is not right that these women are attacked but their silence baffles me.
Timely...Personally, I hope and pray that the AF will make a specific determination to commission a man of extremely high moral character. I am confident that this officer will stand strong against the tide of immorality and ultimately bring honor to the USAF.
He’s my son.
“Alexis Jones-Hardy told Channel 2 Action News that she quit the academy in 2012”
I wonder if it is just me, but these little hits seem to be 90+% from FORMER cadets. My thought is Alexis Jones-Hardy flunked out of the Academy and this is an attempt to make herself out to be a martyr rather than a failure. Actually, if you think about it with exception of political hits, the vast majority of these vile accusations come from disgruntled former employees, lovers, associates and other “formers”.
The movie, “the generals daughter” comes to mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB9Yh-CK33c
Female with a hyphenated last name. I don’t trust her.
As on most college campuses, football players are a protected species.
She said “no” 30 times, but did she severely injure her attacker with a kick, an eye gouge, bite off a finger? I am not making excuses for the attacker or “blaming the victim”, but women, especially in that kind of environment, need to FIGHT!
