That little statistic wouldn’t suit their purposes very well.

Exactly. They have watered done what constitutes “sexual assualt to include wolf whistlles to a simple pat on the ass. Add to that an increasing ammount of women in uniform and no doubt those figures are going to rise.

So when’s the “high level” meeting going to take place to discuss the increase in suicides since Oblunder took over and cuffed them in their rules of engagement.

They have defined sexual assault to be something that will not be prosecutable, hence the fact that many incidents are reported, but almost none of the claims result in convictions.

MANY (most?) of these cases involve consensual sex, where after the fact the woman (yes, these are hetero) changes her mind because (a) she gets dumped/cheated on by the guy (b) her husband finds out or (c) she was drunk and doesn't remember what happened.

"Will Bill Clinton be there?"

Sadly, that's the first thing I thought of, too...

They are absolutely attacking anything male and will soon be coming out with a regimen of drugs to reduce testosterone to the level of a 6 year old girls to ensure that no men exist in the ranks. Soon any male on female abuse will be aptly described as a cat fight.

It was also the modern definition of rape, which is somewhat different from the standard one in that it can include changing your mind weeks or months after the fact. Lackland began with a recruit hooking up with the instructor. Telling friends she had, and in no way acting like it was anything other than consensual. But at the next duty assignment she found out that he was circulating the photos she let him take. Thats when the Lackland “rapes” were exposed.
It was a story of rampant fraternization and unprofessionalism,, but not so much a wild rapist drill instructor on the loose in the bootcamp. There are plenty of lies to go around here, and plenty of agenda driven people in the government and media to push them.

Is the CIC going to be there or just a bunch of women complaining and having a 2 thousand dollar lunch?

The first lady’s chief of staff,, setting policy. Insane, and treason.

The absolute worst part is that they are jumping through hoops on what is an “ESTIMATED 26,000” assaults! The reported assaults two years ago were 19,000!

In other words, we don’t KNOW that they have climbed to 26,000, but we need a distraction and someone to put some blame on (who can handle it over the long-haul) and that would be the MILITARY! Hell, why didn’t they just “estimate” that 25% of all personnel in the military have been assaulted? I mean, make a really good, high number to really get people all worked up?

Last, but not least, understand that in the military, a “sexual assault” can be just about ANYTHING!! I had Marines who were given NJP for “sexual assault” because a woman (as President Odumbo would say) Corpse-man complained of “un-wanted flirtation” and “inuendo!”

Several instructors crossed the line, and the line is different in the military. They are enjoying hard labor and other forms of punishment.

And coincidences are always suspect. The USAF officer in charge of investigating sexual assault is arrested for sexual assault, the day BEFORE the big, long awaited, sexual assault report is to be released?? and a big white house push is going to be made on sexual assault?

This sounds like the kind of thing that happened under Stalin.

One thing they won’t say is how many of these assaults are homosexual in nature.

There in lies the true heart of the matter.

If the military would only "cease this faggotry at once" the whole issue would be resolved.

We all know this is directly related to gays in the military and gay sexual assault. That's the simple truth. The white hut and the media will use it for a far sinister purpose though.

Yes, that is true. But, just as true is the fact that several recruits crossed the line but are enjoying furthering their careers by claiming rape! One female instructor had sex with a recruit AFTER graduation (as well as with several other junior-grade members) and is doing time for RAPE!

Know that this was a witch hunt and although they may have found a few witches, many more people were burned at the stake!
