A provocative video hits the internet this week showing male soldiers in Iraq aggressively duct-taping a female soldier to a pole!

Titled, "When your the only girl in the maintenance section," the 4 minute long video shows a laughing female getting wrapped up with heavy tape.

"Oh my God...that is so funny!!! I'm laughing so hard I've got tears in my eyes!"

Hehe ;-)

Gee, maybe you can be an Expert Witness at the court martial ....

If called, I will serve.

I agree with you. Women are part of the military and they are part of the brotherhood. One of the comments from the video was someone who knew a friend from that company and the female solider lost a bet.Everyone needs a release! We have soldiers dying over there, so people can crap in their hat if they don't like it.It just seems the soldiers can never win. I just want the gloves off and for them to get it done, so they can come home safe. Would this had been a story if it hadn't been a woman?

I guess there's a joke somewhere in there but you need to a lot of scratching to find it!

Yeah...this is just boys' fun...you would want your daughter taped up like this.

She's saying "NO" when the guys are tickling her. Try watching the video with your eyes open!

[paulat]

I'm sorry...that is just WRONG!!! Kindergartners should RESPECT their teachers...I don't see how you think that is right at all!!!

[paulat]

This is just some innocent fun

What if it was your daughter...your daughter....giving her life for our country.

One thing that struck me is how respectfully they treated her. A hold with no grabs on the top to pin her arms and held at the knees. No bottom holds and no slipping hands. No groping. no grabbing. They were treating a friend to a joke, not a sex object.

I pray my daughter is never in the men's military. But if she were, those would be the guys I would want her to serve with.

This is one of the most ignorant posts I have ever seen here.

She was laughing the entire time. Stuff like this happens all the time in the army and it is completely harmless.
When I was in the army and a guy in my squad would get promoted we would do all sorts of things as a sort of hazing. No one was hurt, and it was all in good fun.

If you find this video disturbing it is YOUR problem.

Have you ever been in the military and/or deployed?

WHILE THEY WERE DUCT-TAPING HER TO A POLE!!!

I have completely lost faith in FReeper men tonight. Would they want to see their patriotic daughters treated this way???

I think the "what if"-s do not belong here, the ONLY person who has the right to decide what's what and what's not is the young lady in the video. It is up to her is she should follow this further (unless, of course, some eager young officer in Legal in need of quick promotion will decide in her place) or not. While I agree that it was childish behavior, at the same time, you cannot put yourself in the boots of any of those soldiers (both male and female) and assume anything. And as far as the "what if" parental outrage, that too should come from the young lady's parents and the parents of her fellow soldiers.

[frankiep]

Please give it a rest.

Unless you can educate us all on how those laughs coming from her were laughs of terror.
