Sure it does. My question points to the biggest single problem women in the military have, and that is the selection of women officers.

DOD seems hell bent for election to select women whose only motivation is careerism.

I watched the TV partial interviews with some of the complainants. Frankly, it embarrassed me to see that these were the caliber of the women AFA sought to recruit.

The general upset about getting her fanny brushed is typical of the crew. She should have never been allowed to be in charge of other human beings. Then she wouldn't have been around to be offended by a clumsy advance - and you just know she was more upset about the style than the substance, eh?!

Soooo...what's it gonna say now....."Bring Me Wusses?"

It's their unspoken motto, and it's what they now have.

It's obvious that the criteria should be different than the one they now have in place. My own preference is for running all their candidates through Infantry Basic and AIT. Then we'll talk!

Barney Fag has already requested that the sign be posted above his office door.

The feminization of the military continues apace and also play into cultural advances that encourage the homo lobby. Make men like women (wusses) and women like men (angry b------).

America will not recover until the women ('hand that rocks the cradle rocks the nation') decide that achieving motherhood and caring for children is more important than the damn 'career.' For that they will need support from like-minded women and their husbands. Big PC corporations are undercutting this by giving higher priority to hiring women into mgt. than men. So men have a hard time making a salary that can support a family. I'm seeing women in management now with house husbands. When a man isn't the provider/protector other issues arise as well.

Cherry -
You make a good point that some of the male cadets were not exactly gentlemen, & I am being kind when I say that.
Let me remind you, however, that the female cadet in question was drinking with a group of male cadets after lights out and playing strip poker.
Do I think this means she was "aksing for it"? No, I do not. Only a pig would think that.
Do I think her actions prior to the assault were contrary to the rules? Yes, without question they were.
