Thank you for this sane post!
My daughter has a good female friend who served in the army and experienced abuse and rape during her service. It is high probability and to me as a woman an unacceptable risk. I would go to battle any of these ahole political bturds if they try to put my grand daughters in danger!
And even if you are one of those who naively believe our soldiers would -never- rape their own, there are two other problems.
One, any enemy we could face has no such limits and they rape every female captured.
Two, the environment in the military is a very sexually charged environment. Starting off with the lesbians club in boot camp, to the endless banter and loneliness of deployment.
It’s a horrible idea to put you women there.
