First opinion, looking at them. Just tell me what comes to mind. All are actual facts and data, coming from documents of the US Government.
[quote]1: Over 20% of female veterans have been sexually assaulted while serving.
2:"He put his locked and loaded .45 at the base of my skull and engaged the bolt."
3:In 1991 Congressional Testimony, it was estimated the around 200,000 service women had been -blam!-. It is estimated that by 2012, that number more than doubled to half a million.
4: DOD admits 80% of survivors do not report.
5: "Any report of unwanted sexual assault is fully investigated in the US Navy."
6: "As bad as it was being assaulted, it was as bad, if not worse, receiving professional retaliation in their chosen career because of the incident."
7: "You're the third girl to report being sexually assaulted in the past week."
8: A Navy Study found that 15% of incoming recruits attempted or committed sexual assault before enlisting, double the percentage of the equivalent civilian population.
9: 40% of homeless female veterans were sexually assaulted while serving.[/quote]
Thoughts?
Edit: Few more for thoughts.
[quote]10:Women who have been -blam!- in the Military have a higher PTSD rate than men who have been in combat.
11: 1% of males in the military are victims of sexual assault.
12: "Well, that's what you get for walking down a hallway with a bunch of drunk aviators there."
13: "Don't wear makeup, marines will think you want to sleep with them."
14: "Female marines here (The Washing DC Marine Barracks, which handle some of the highest duty, including White House work) are nothing more than objects for Marines (Male) to -blam!-."[/quote]

12 通の返信Going into the armed services this pisses me off. Integrity First means nothing to some service(wo)men and it's despicable.

22 通の返信Also, why don't these women defend themselves and kill the aggressors? If they can't handle this how are they ever going to be in the military?

5 通の返信Billylololにより編集済み: 3/7/2014 12:36:44 AMWe as a nation truly don't care about the females that serve in our nation. To be fair I don't support anyone who serves right now but not to the point of wishing they get -blam!-.

11 通の返信1. Sadly not surprising. 2. That's disgusting. 3. 500,000 - Yeah there isn't a problem here at all. It's just Librul Propagandhi 4. No shit. 5. *snorts with derision* 6. Again, sadly not surprising. 7. That sounds remarkable blase about it. Again, not surprising. 8. I don't want to go into this one but it needs addressing because it's a shitstorm when you bring it up. It's a suppressed/known fact though, Arson, Raep, Sociopaths, Psychopaths and violent people are drawn to the armed forces - Not necessarily a bad thing, but not a good thing. I'll elaborate if anyone wishes. 9. Sadly not surprising. 10. Again, not surprising. 11. Slightly more surprising, I would have thought it might have been higher but only by 1-2%. 12. Gotta love victim blaming 13. Lol. I'm sorry but that thinking is so idiotic it's funny and depressing. 14. I'm guessing a Marine said that? Now, before anyone sets upon me for bashing the armed forces I know a fair few in the UK military and the USA's they aren't a bunch of baby murdering sociopathic rapists and saying that all soldiers are like that is moronic. They do a hard job and generally a thankless one, I respect them for that.

3 通の返信The bill you mention below adressed the problem, but didn't do a good job at it. It would have sexual assault cases heard in a civilian court. The UCMJ is tougher on criminals, and is the appropriate set of laws for this. The problem is in the criminal justice system in the military itself. There fix needs to happen, but it needs to happen within the military itself.

1 返信I think it's truly disgusting that these statements/statistics describe what we call a "civilized" society.

3 通の返信Not surprised at all. The western military's are absolutely atrocious for their sexual assault statistics.
