I do agree with the notion that these people were idiots to walk into a madhouse like that and think nothing would happen to them. Im more upset at the nature of this particular attack, the fact a woman was sexually assaulted. This is my reason why i dont think woman in the military should be on the front lines. Woman captured in combat would be subject to horrendous atrocities, more so than most men would. I dont think its sexist or masoginist at all to want to see no harm come to the opposite sex.
Yes, it is a wholly horrible thing when one or more humans treat(s) another human so brutally (even if the human being attacked did something stupid). I now see better the nature of your visceral reaction. And it is rightly visceral: that a man (or men) can treat a woman in such a despicable manner is flat-out mind-numbingly wrong. Such crimes must be immediately condemned.
Through their actions these men have surrendered their claim on humanity. By behaving brutishly they have rendered themselves brutes. All sane people should react viscerally to what they did.
But after one reacts, then what?
And please don't conclude that because I ask this question that I have an answer. At least, any more of an answer than what I've written in earlier posts on this thread. That is, if you've managed to slog through my long-winded posts. Lord, can I blather on.

I'm right there with you, FRiend. It is not sexist or misogynist. Perhaps chivalrous, but even if so, that's not a bad thing.
Cheers.
