Well, I do know exactly what I reported and what was told to me from those people who are in the military and who were in the military — which you wanted to deny happening in the first place...

Ah, the anonymous source. Always so convincing.

You said — Ah, the anonymous source. Always so convincing.

They’re not anonymous. They are the “same kind of people” that others claim to know about the military “themselves” — when they refer to “others” that they speak on these issues (i.e., those other military people they know).

As I said, originally, these are people that are related, personal and I know them directly. You can go back and see that they are close family members and relatives. No one anonymous here. And certainly no more anonymous than anyone else *here* asserting anything different than that — from “their military sources” that they bring up..., same difference...

BUT, for the sake of showing that it was not something “made up” — I also included “news articles” which covered the same things that I was reporting from the people I knew directly. And those are the articles posted above.

The two biggest problems that I’ve been told about are (1) drug trafficking and (2) weapons sales — in the military. And this is shown to be the case.

Now, how this came up in the first place, was in reference to these women reporting rapes in the military. And I said originally, that it was entirely believable, especially so, when considering other stories that I had heard from these close family members and relatives. That’s how *they* got into this thread...
