=== 153 military women who claim to have been sexually assaulted by fellow soldiers


I'm not interested in "firepersons" who can't haul me down a flight of stairs and I'm not interested in "soldiers" who can't fend off a rapist.

"I'm not interested in "soldiers" who can't fend off a rapist."

Those rapists are every bit as much a danger to their unit as the women they've assaulted who were unable to defend themselves. Personally, I have plenty of respect for those who've put their butts on the line to defend this country and who've followed the laws and rules they agreed to follow. As such, I have far more respect for the women who've been raped or assaulted than I do for the out of control idiots who attacked them.

That being said, I don't think mixed units is a good idea. The last thing you want to do is distract your soldiers. This, however, is no execuse for the dishonor those rapists have brought upon themselves and the service.
