This happened 30 years ago when I was in the service...
The victims get punished, the rapists get promotions
I wonder how throwing gays into the mix will effect things?
Things will only get worse if gays are allowed to openly serve in the military.
Not a surprise.
The US military actively encourages prostitution where there are military bases around the world for the exploitation of young women and girls.
That is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear someone use the term military and honor in the same sentence.
One reason why the WAC was not a bad idea. The more you mix men and women, the more rough sex you get. You know that during war that rape is the preferred weapon of an advancing army. If it occurs in the most restricted situation possible, the family. IAC. what to do about it. A little better understanding by service women that they cannot trust even their superior officers not to take advantage. Only they. though. know what walls are the strongest protection, and so I think that they should be the ones who set the legal—and practical— boundaries. In a test of strength, they are bound to lose unless they can design a cage to keep the beast inside.
I just thought this was such a classic example of media misleading.
Lead paragraph generates a large scary number by lumping together all cases of "sexual abuse," a generic category that covers a wide range of offenses, some of them pretty mild. Then it uses the term "rapist" as more or less an equivalent term. I suspect the number of reported rapes is a great deal less than 3000.
It is also notable that somehow the obligatory "accused" or "alleged" gets left out when referring to a "rapist."
Men on one base. Women on another base. GLBT on six different bases depending on the day of the week ~ with regular random rotations.
Yup ~
"I just kind of panicked, froze. I didn't say anything,"
Again, with all due respect, I have to ask: Are women being trained as warriors or is the military just another jobs program? I can't see how a female warrior would tolerate that. She'd have broken some of his ribs or neck or arm.
I don't buy it.
There's a lot more to this story.
Where sufficient evidence exists for prosecution at Courts Martial, I'm certain that's what happens.
When it's a female sailor that comes back from shore leave and says another sailor took advantage of her while she was drunk...no marks...no witnesses...well, that's another story.
It was bad enough when the military had women thrown in with them, it will get worse now that the Government is throwing in the peter puffers.
Is this all a part of the plan to destroy the military?
