Honestly yes. Not all or most of them necessarily but different underlying traits will be exposed in the absence of law and order. That's with most people. I only mentioned men specifically because this is about rape. I would say the same about people who will steal if they feel they won't get caught. This is the reason for audits, etc. Nothing personal against men. |
i agree with this. coincidentally, we had a very scary drunken rape conversation last night. some men said some very scary things.

"On Wednesday, The Air Force
released its report detailing a culture of sexual abuse at Lackland Air
Force Base in Texas, where members of the Air Force go through basic
training.
Eleven basic training instructors have been charged
with offenses ranging from inappropriate touching of female recruits to
rape. Two commanding officers have been removed, and Air Force Gen.
Edward A. Rice Jr., commander of Air Education and Training Command,
said at a press conference Wednesday that six more have received
"disciplinary action." Forty-eight women — some as young as 17 or 18
years old — have come forward with stories of sexual misconduct.
According
to a Department of Defense statement, the Lackland report found
"weaknesses in institutional safeguards, leadership, and the instructor
culture of self-accountability, with the conditions leading to abuse of
power in basic military training 'ever-present.'"*
Cenk Uygur and
Ana Kasparian discuss the huge amounts of reports of sexual abuse in
the Air Force and military as a whole, on top of the many that do not
get reported. Is the Petraeus affair more newsworthy than this?

[QUOTE=Tbaby] Rape occurs but to say its swept under the rug systematically is hog wash.
Absoulute lie
Why would you think the military shouldn't employ women? There are thousands of positions that aren't based on strength. Women are accountants, lawyers, computer technicians, doctors, nurses, logistical supervisors, maintenance operators, truck drivers, human resource managers, and the list goes on. Not every one actually runs around with a gun hunting terrorists
Truth
The military pays for housing, education, and medical benefits. Why shouldn't women have access to all these benefits? I've seen Black and Hispanic females reach more successful career goals inside the military then in civilian life. The leadership is much more diverse with AAs in top positions. The civilian world not so much. End of rant.

But I didn't ask you if you were a rapist deep down inside. But let me interrupt this line of conversation before it becomes a long string of quotes of circular logic in which no questions are actually answered. Thanks for stopping by.

to answer the question: no. i do not believe women were allowed into the army in order to satiate sexua desires. if the military had its way they would be all straight males.

yeah..I agree.. thats crazy talk right there.

So you don't think that people tend to do bad things more often when they feel they have the go-ahead and they will get away with it? Really?
|
you'd go on a killing spree if you knew there would be no repercussions?
|
If I thought this was in any way shape, form, or fashion a valid question I would answer it.

Star if you want to believe a documentary as your only factual source over persons who have posted and told you how it really is then do you. You seem set to ignore any other opinion then the ones that support your stance like sweet n stuff said...so much for asking for opinions.
