Should Our Lady Soldiers Be Better Protected ?

Question

How Well Should Our Lady Soldiers be protected ?

There should be no tolerance, none at all for any form of sexual harrassment, assault or rape in the military. It is a sad commentary on our military when a woman who wants to serve her country in the armed forces has to fear being attacked by her fellow soldiers more than being killed by the enemy.

s*x Assaults Against Women in Military 'Epidemic'

GAO Report: Sexual Assaults and Rapes in Military Under-Reported by Half

Mary Lauterbach, the mother of murdered pregnant Marine Maria Lauterbach told lawmakers on Capitol Hill that the military must change the way it deals with sexual assault to avoid more tragedies like her own.

Rep. Bruce Braley, whose congressional district includes Dubuque, Iowa, where yesterday they mourned the murder of Army 2nd Lt. Holley Wimuc, said this is not an isolated incident. Wimuc's husband, a Marine corporal, has been charged with her murder.

At Ft. Bragg in North Carolina, another pregnant soldier was killed more than a month ago and the father of her baby, Sgt. Edgar Patino, was arrested this week and charged with her murder.

"This is not an isolated thing we're talking about," Braley said.

While the military has come a long way since the days of the Tailhook scandal 15 years ago -- which is credited with creating a safer environment for female service members -- Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., said there remains an "epidemic of assault and rape against women in our military."

Sexual assult jsut doesnt happen. Yes, there are the FEW cases where male soliders just get a wild hair up their a** and rape a girl...but more likly than not...FEMALES ARE PUTTING THEMSELFS INTO THOSE POSTIONS TO BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. They drink, they flirt, they dance dirty, and they don't really say NO...till they are nakid and about to do it. Women..protect yourself..stop going into barracks rooms with horney soliders, getting drunk, then saying its rape. If you don't like men looking at you when you wear something S****y...well..STOP WEARING IT. or stop hanging out with these people....

if you can prevent it....prevent it..thats all the protection you should need.

Answer 4

Yes they should.

Answer 5

The DOD deals very harshly with CONVICTED s*x offenders. The civilian judicial premise is "Innocent until proved guilty" The military judicial system has 2 premises: "Guilty until proved innocent. and Guilty until proved guiltier.

Once a serviceman is accused of any s*x crime/offense, his career is effectively over. When he is proved innocent, his career is still effectively over.

""There should be no tolerance, none at all for any form of sexual harrassment, assault or rape in the military"" There is zero tolerance.

Answer 7

Female members of our military are far less likely to be raped or murdered than females in the general population.

Jane Harmon is a LIberal feminist lunatic.

Answer 8

We told you so.

Answer 9

If a female is in any way concerned about a sexual advance taking place then she should immediately speak to the EO rep in her company. Males get raped too do you think we should protect them better? This is ridiculous. People need to pull their heads out of their fourth point of conduct and act like human beings instead of monsters.
