I mean, I've been in the military, and if anyone had messed with me, I would have KICKED THEIR AZZ or died trying. This is so beyond the pale - a soldier violating a fellow soldier, it's the antithesis of honorable service. For SHAME. I heart General Dunwoody. I hope she can make a difference. The main problem is the military justice system and the burden of proof. They are much more likely to wish it all away, or pretend the women "asked for it", so the troop ranks won't be diminished. I wonder how the current culture shift in allowing gays to openly serve will affect this dynamic? Makes me anxious. This is so crazy.
