Sen. Martha McSally, the first female fighter pilot to fly in combat, disclosed during an emotional Senate hearing on Wednesday she was "preyed upon and then raped" in the Air Force by a superior officer.
The Arizona Republican, who served 26 years in the Air Force, made the disclosure during a Senate hearing on sexual assault allegations in the military. McSally said she didn't report the assault because she didn't trust the system, and was ashamed and confused.
My drive to fight against sexual assault in the ranks is not from the outside looking in," McSally began. "And it is deeply personal."
McSally said that during her military career, she was "greatly privileged to prepare and then lead my amazing Airmen in combat, which is the apex responsibility of any warrior leader."

“If the military were as concerned with protecting it’s women...”
Yeah, but the job of the military is to protect the country, not to protect women who want to play at being soldiers.
She doesn’t explain if it was a man or woman.
Apparently being strong decisive and brave are not traits required of female fighter pilots.
Perhaps, instead, we ought to be seriously revisiting this foolish trend of having women fully integrated into the military.
Placing warriors in the same area as women, where there is stress and, often, a fair amount of privacy, creates a certainty for there to be problems of this type.
In the “olden days”, it was separate units, or beside husbands. Some gals do war just fine. Just don’t expect the same proportion.
Bring back the WACs!
“Too bad no one trained her to fight back.”
By saying it happened without naming the rapist she’s being a generic whiney way-after-the-fact victim. If she named the rapist she would be a counterattacker.
If she wants #metoo status she needs to name her alleged attacker.
I call BS on this one. Shes just doing her impression of Christine Blasey Ford.
No attacker. No attack.
If it is now necessary to suck-up to the Lifetime Vote in order to keep your Senate seat, the country is doomed.
She’s a #MeToo wannabe.
Post of the day.
McMeeToo McSally is up for reelection.
Posting again for emphasis.
“suck-up to the Lifetime Vote”
You can just see them dabbing their eyes
“Oh the poor dear”
Any yes, we are doomed. Largely because of these squishes.
Sorry Sally, the Astronaut is already using the Victim Card.
No one is going to hand this Senate seat to you this time.
Fight or loose
Yup.
Next.
She was a princess who had the ear of congresswomen long before she became an aide to Sen Kyle. She sued the Secretary of Defense and was widely applauded for it - but she was afraid to report a rape?
Don’t believe her.
