According to NPR, “In 2003, a survey of female veterans found that 30
percent said they were raped in the military. A 2004 study of veterans
who were seeking help for post-traumatic stress disorder found that 71
percent of the women said they were sexually assaulted or raped while
serving. And a 1995 study of female veterans of the Gulf and earlier
wars, found that 90 percent had been sexually harassed.”
The BBC recently reported on The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of
Women Serving in Iraq by Helen Benedict. This book examines the
extreme difficulties female soldiers have in serving abroad. Benedict
interviewed several women in the military to get a deeper
understanding of the issue, and some of their stories were real eye
openers.
Army specialist Chantelle Henneberry spoke of some of her experiences
in Iraq, “Everybody’s supposed to have a battle buddy in the army, and
females are supposed to have one to go to the latrines with, or to the
showers – that’s so you don’t get raped by one of the men on your own
side. But because I was the only female there, I didn’t have a battle
buddy. My battle buddy was my gun and my knife.”
Another study concluded that 90% of all women serving are sexually
harassed. Another one estimates that 90% of all the rapes do not get
reported, despite supposedly easier ways to report the crime with
confidentiality since 2005. Either way, this appears to be an epidemic
that needs to be dealt with.
An online discussion from a former soldier whose identity is being
protected had this to say, “At least a rape ends. It’s the day-to-day
degradation that eats at you. None of my friends who were raped on
active duty reported it. Or if we tried, we were told to shut up for
‘morale.’ Working with your rapist on a daily basis isn’t a lot of
fun, believe me.”
How the military is dealing with this appears to demonstrate a pattern
of sweeping it under the rug. In 2008, 62% of those that were
convicted of sexual assault or rape received very lenient punishments
such as demotion, suspension, or a written reprimand.
This problem is not confined to the US military either. This abuse is
rampant among private defense contractors overseas as well, as
recently highlighted by the recent press about Jamie Leigh Jones. Ms.
Jones was in Iraq in 2005 when seven Halliburton/KBR employees drugged
and brutally gang-raped her. Her injuries were so extensive that she
had lacerations to her vagina and anus, her breast implants were
ruptured, and her pectoral muscles torn. The response of KBR was to
lock her in a shipping container with only a bed, and to deny her
food, water, and medical treatment. The rape kit that was taken after
she regained consciousness was mysteriously lost.
This crime eventually led to an amendment being added to the defense
appropriations bill by Sen. Al Franken (D-MN). This would require
defense contractors to allow their employees access to US courts in
cases of rape or sexual assault, regardless of where they are
stationed. The 30 Republican senators voted against this amendment are
currently being humiliated on the Republicans for Rape website and by
John Stewart on the Daily Show.

The culture of sexual violence against women that is allowed to exist
in both the US military and private contractors needs to come to an
end. When almost a third of all women serving are raped, and over two
thirds sexually assaulted, this problem is rampant and systemic.

The Inconvenient Truth
Remember just a month or so ago, the media was telling anyone who
would listen that Obama was isolated and noneffective? Suddenly, he
signs the tax breaks for the elite and it's all good in DC, his shit
is getting passed again and everything is status quo again. When
corporations have been given the same rights or sometimes superior
rights than that of human beings, how can any government supporter
still believe that they live in a free, just society? What's happening
with women being raped in the military and the private contractors,
it's a part of that.

"trying to prove they were tough"!
Now that the homos are being allowed to serve openly gay, these rape
numbers will go down to zero. Just like combat effectiveness will go
down to zero.
Al Queda is laughing their asses off right now!!!

We're are talking one out of three women in the US military being
raped because the US military are beasts, that's what the Capitalist
military is about. It's like the Nazis or the Koumingtang (who were US
backed and fought against Mao in China). They are about mass
destruction, mass murder, routine torture and abuse, and they rape
each other all the time. There are actually more US male soldiers
raped than female soldiers raped, because there are so many more men
in the thug military. WE ARE TALKING ONE IN EVERY THREE WOMEN raped!
The US also rapes Iraqi male and female POWs and Civilian detainees.
Capitalism is a horror!

Isn't that what U.S. military cunts are for? Liberals don't want the
victors raping the loser's women. What's a man to do? Start fucking
other men up the ass like the liberals are pushing now?
The army that permits male to male ass fucking is no longer an army, and
it will be defeated as it has been in every historical instance.

Let's grant your wish, but instead, put all the faggots on an isolated
isle where they can infect each other with AIDS to their hearts content,
while living in "freedom and peace and respect" - alone.
But that wouldn't work for you queer attention whores now would it?
