You said — Sorry. It appears to me that you have an anti-military perspective.

Well, the problem here, from the way I see it happening — is very simply that anything that would be said that is “negative” is taken to mean that this is a “anti-military perspective” — which it isn’t.

You can see that I basically never said anything about this until someone challenged me that the “stories” that I hear from close relatives and people I know in the military are not true. I then respond to show that they *are true*.

So, in answering back to “back up my assertions” in the first place about things that I had directly heard — it is said that *this* (i.e. the backing up of what I heard) is, therefore, “anti-military”.

That’s the problem, right there. It’s not anti-military to say what *is happening* and that’s basically what it is.

That *also* goes along with the *original story* here on this thread, about those women complaining about being raped in those situations that they described. Here is another “instance” of “facts being reported” and then other “denying the facts being reported” — because they feel that any facts that they don’t like to hear — is somehow “anti-military”.

And that’s not the case. It’s simply the “facts of the matter”. If women are getting raped, then this is what is happening — and it’s not *anti-military” to report those very facts...

Yes. That's exactly the problem.
