Sexual trauma counseling?

I have two daughters in the military, and stories they tell me about the amount of sexual activity in the military is mind boggling. Also the amount of pregnancy. My point being, how many of these gals are claiming "rape" because they are coming home to husbands/boyfriends pregnant? This is not to say rape is not happening, however I'm somewhat skeptical that it is as prevalent as this article makes it appear.

Military: Young, physically fit, aggressive men with a few young, physically fit, aggressive women sprinkled in.

Is it any surprise, with soldiers dieing all the time, and knowing that any day could be their last, that they want sex, and will take it if possible?

Another glorious example of the Clinton Legacy.

The women, ranging from enlisted soldiers to officers...

I find it hard to believe that an officer's charges of rape would be ignored.

[independentmind]

Who cares? Don't men get raped too?

[onedoug]

NOTHING excuses rape. Just as NOTHING excuses women on the battlefied. Get them off it!

[JohnGalt]

Seconded.

Give the perps a fair trial and fast hanging. Do not mix men and women in combat. Do not put women in combat unless all the men are dead or cowards.

What is a suprise to me is that these women aren't saying no with a side arm.

Even if you're going to die in a few seconds, it doesn't mean you can act like an animal.

That is what we call "lack of character", and excusing abhorent behaviour is exactly what Clinton and his thugs do. It's 'just' about sex, huh?

If true, this is the inevitable result of a military that's a slave to politcally-correct concerns.

If not true and these women just want a convenient excuse as to why they're coming home pregnant, this is also the inevitable result of a military that's a slave to politcally-correct concerns.

Solution? Go back to the pre-fembot-influenced military.

Off the battlefield or off the battlefield and out of the military?

I ask because it's kind of hard to define today's "the battlefield.

[LetsRok]

This sounds like a bunch of baloney to me. How do you "rape" a women armed with an M-16 and live?????? If these women can't defend themselves from their own troops how can they defend ME?????

[al baby]

oh no we will be seeing more of this now

[leadpenny]

"battlefield"

Fair amount of that went on when I was in the USN in the '90s. Also, some women cried rape when caught in flagrante delicto with people they shouldn't have been delicto-ing with (fraternization), or in places where delicto-ing wasn't supposed to be going on.

I don't want to come across as defending actual rapists though.

I suspect I'm about to add another troll scalp to my totem.

I know you can't comment on this, just thought you'd like to see this.

[truthandjustice1]

You've nailed it. Social engineering at it's ugliest.
