Fair question.
Actually I was amazed at the PC response by the pilot, he would not answer!
Rape is a hazard to the females in the military and that is why it is a taboo subject to be discussed.
"Fair question."
Have to strongly disagree with you this time. Good parenting settles what is a "fair question" at a very young age....usually at two or three years of age.
This whole discussion reminds me of an incident 30+ years ago when a neighbor and I were having coffee & cookies and one of my "babies" made a rude comment about her weight. After being made to apologize, he was sent to his room and later we discussed how what he said made someone feel sad (easier for him to understand sad than uncomfortable)
Good manners and class are the ability to make others feel comfortable, no matter what the circumstances. This teenages should have learned this long before his teens....but then I'm an old foggy!
