"However, there is a message in here to other military....watch your step!"

That is the simple point I was trying to make.

If so, you sure threw in a lot of other garbage in the process. Do you think the girl did not know what kind of place she was in nor why a lot of military guys frequented the place? Our guys are great but you are trying to insist they be exemplary in every way at all time, even on leave. I doubt they misbehaved but you want them to be like Caesar's wife, beyond reproach or even suspicion.

You are correct that the media is exploiting this but they exploit everything, truth be damned. The fact that the feminists are involved tells you all you need to know. The only people left in the feminist movement are hard core leftists. Those truly concerned with women's rights figured it out years ago and not only left them but are working to expose them as simple leftists. Their silence during the Clinton years exposed them to an embarrassing degree.

This is just more coordinated left wing BS to attack America. They don't care about truth. Look at all the shenanigans they have pulled. Bush lied, Libbey committed perjury, DeLay laundered money, Frist is guilty of insider trading, Gitmo is worse than the holocaust, and on and on.

Wake up and get off your bible-thumping high horse.

They were reported and we girls stood with the victims -- and saw the girls get trashed by the opposing counsel and the testimony of other players; they were all "settled" by what's called "shut up money" once it became obvious that it was that or be dragged through the mud.

On the other side of the coin, I also saw one guy get humiliated by another player for mistreating a girl (and it was a very thorough job of it too) ... but on another occasion I saw that guy punch his wife in the face because she came into the bar and caught him with a girl. (I believe charges were laid but I have no knowledge of what happened after that).

Life in the 1970s was unfriendly to young women who believed the press releases and newspaper versions of what some people were like. I don't reckon it's a lot different now, although likely the "shut up money" has gone up.

*****So what,the situation still was created by soldiers which weakens public support for the war in Iraq at home. I am not bible thumping, I am saying this hurts troop support at home, regardless of who was right or wrong. The cost of group sex with anyone by soldiers is too high, its no longer a simple tumble in the hay with or without moral/legal consequences. The freedom of the Iraqui people may be at stake. SO KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS SOLDIER! STOP ACTING LIKE WING NUT DEMS WHO ARE STILL IN THE ERA OF " SEXUAL REVOLUTION!"

I will begrudgingly admit that it does give the left an excuse to blast us.

No and neither did Natelees accused vermin.
As for any female that gets alone with Mr. Clinton they should understand what is coming.
I am not advocating for assailants in any way. I am saying you are dumb to put yourself in poor situations.
You make poor choices and crap happens to you? Sorry. Stupid.

Most rapists should be put to death like sick dogs.

This young lady trusted the goodness of these young soldiers,

This alone makes your argument kinda hard to win.

Having spent many a time with enlisted marines, "goodness" is not a characteristic that I would readily think of.

Olongapo.......Magsaysay Blvd....400 plus bars and clubs in a mile.

A friend of mine had a personal vehicle in the P.I. and ran over a chicken. He stopped and offered the bird's owner restitution. The owner refused the 10 and 20 Peso offers and took my friend to court.
In court the plaintiff argued for restitution for all the lost eggs and offspring and won. Cost US $100.
Bahala na!

Okay hot shot... Since you like to play one sentence "I know everything" why not share with us your fellings on the subject, instead of just coming in and being a nozzle...

Marines (grunts) are not exactly known for their "lay-down their-cape-on-the-puddle-for--m'lady" virtues. Google "marines & rape news" and see what pops up.
