I did go off subject, I don't like females in battle situations, now there is talk about putting women in submarines. You think rape is bad now, wait until there are women aboard a sub that stays underwater for weeks, even months at a time. It won't necessarily be rape, but consenting sex and lets surface cause we have a pregnant female on board... Close quarters, re design the sub to accommodate females. Do we really have a military or do we have just a situation for females to get higher rank.

Women served in every war. During WW2 there was the WAC and WAV's sp/ that served behind the front lines. The push to let a few make higher rank stinks of NOW and has for years...

Rape is wrong I never said the victim was to blame. They didn't put themselves in those situations. They go where orders tell them to. But a handful of females (for instance) on an aircraft carrier with over 5000 men at sea for weeks is STUPID. The military is not suppose to be a social experiment...

I don't know the facts behind this rape and the guy going to prison, was it consensual sex, but by military rules fraternizing with someone of lower rank.

If it was a true forced rape he didn't get enough time, but if it was the other he probably got what military law says.

It pisses me off that women get jobs in area's they don't belong, because tests that the men have to go through are gender normed for females...they don't compete on a level playing field cause they couldn't hack it doing the same training that the men do..

I agree, there are a lot of situations where men and women are being mixed that just don’t recognize reality. It’s unfortunate, but life is what it is, not necessarily what we want it to be.
