Sorry Miss M but yldstrk is correct. EVERYONE has the right to defend themselves when they are being assaulted. Putting on a uniform does not mean one gives up the right to be safe in their person. Just because someone joins the military does not mean they can be raped.
These woman should have defended themselves using whatever means necessary.
So speak people who are not in the armed forces at the moment, one an independent lawyer and the other a guy.
Of course, as usual, we are missing the point: Franken needs to go. You do not touch a member of the armed services. That is a disgrace.
What if no one saw Franken grab her breast and she shoved him into next Tuesday?
Now it becomes an assault . . . on her part.
At that point it is a she said/he said, and guess who will win that battle.
You all need to lighten up on the lady - unless you are in her shoes you don’t know how overwhelmed she may have felt at the time.
