Has anyone else completely lost faith in the military?

Is this really news? I could have told you back when women started joining that if you mix young men and women into the military this would happen. For the most part we are talking college age kids and a little older.

If a college age kid is considered old enough to be trusted to go to war then he should be considered old enough to know not to assault/abuse a woman

Sad that some seem to expect this sort of stuff from the military. I'd like to think we can do better. A lot better.

**** the Patriot Act and **** the rest of the cock suckers in Congress supporting this shit.

When in doubt cry about the "Constitution" weather it has anything to do with the argument or not. People like you are screaming about right to privacy show me where it says you right to privacy can be the cause for innocent American citizens to be murdered by terrorist? Republicans and Democrats alike have a greed the program is (was) working, like it or not the American public does not have the "right" to know everything that goes on to protect them.

Lame.

The military clearly looked the other way for too long and did not have policies in place to discourage this behavior and to properly discipline those that were clearly way out of line.

Your 40 these kids are half your age. Your talking young kids living together, tight quarters, etc... and this will happen. Remember a comment can be sexual assult. "Hey baby you have a fine ass" is considered a sexual assault if its an unwanted comment and reported its counted. My guess many of these cases are simple unwanted comment made to a woman.

^ Yes I'm sure all the fuss is over some rude comments.

Why didnt the top brass in front of congress go with that defense last week?

"We investigated and most sexual assaults were actually compliments taken the wrong way."

I tell ya, that explanation belongs in the FD Hall of Fame. Thats just a classic.

The fuss is over the large number and my guess is that number is inflated because a rude comment is considered. I actually think it should be considered a complment.

BTW I did not make that up.

Unwanted sexual contact is everything from somebody looking at you sideways when they shouldn't to someone pushing you up against the wall and brutally raping you

Quoted from the forum rules -

Perhaps the most important guideline of this forum is this, treat your fellow forum members with the utmost respect at all times. Personal attacks will not be tolerated.


Hard to take those rules seriously when a moderator can go off like that....

It's clearly a compliment.

Duh.
