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."

She will never win reelection, a wasted pick to fill the seat.
No, there is no excuse for rape, that isn’t being a warrior.
Should have kept the picture hidden.
Gee, I see it on TV and the movies all the time, women taking on men who weigh 100 lbs more then they do with their great fighting skills!
Someday, if men would just stop raping women, and start treating them with respect (always), we wouldn’t have to post articles like this. Just sayin’.
Gag.
Women are raping women, and men are raping men, so the point would be what? That men are responsible for all of it?
I’ll settle for one set of laws that apply equally to everyone. Rape, for example, was not a law that applied to Kennedy’s, ever.
