unhappycamper note: Since the ‘Pentagon’ (DoD? Gannett?) has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.

DENVER — The Defense Department says reported sexual assaults at the three military academies rose 64 percent in the 2009-10 academic year compared with the previous year.

1. Training Amerika's leaders for the future. And these are only the ones that are "officially"

reported.

Any parent that sends their daughter into one of these cesspools is committing child abuse.

2. 'War' = Rape and Abuse of women (esp).

By coincidence I was reading about the "greatest phenomenon of mass rape in history" this morning.

WORLD WAR II (One of the 'Great' Wars, Remember?)
"Many a sane American family would recoil in horror if they knew how 'Our Boys' conduct themselves, with such complete callousness in human relationships over here." An army sergeant wrote "Our own Army and the British Army ... have done their share of looting and raping ... This offensive attitude among our troops is not at all general, but the percentage is large enough to have given our Army a pretty black name, and we too are considered an army of rapists."<26>

Just makes my stomach crawl.
Esp. when I remember certain college English teachers of mine saying how they 'loved the military' etc etc.
Having never served in it or been a part of it, only through books, I can guess why someone who really wanted to might glorify it as romantic. If they were willfully blind..or stupid.

Maybe watching a lot of Clint Eastwood and John Wayne glorifying violence and war.

But those two actors, who profited so much portraying war as a gentleman's
duty, etc, knew enough to stay as far the hell away from the real thing in their lifetimes.
(I think Eastwood was a Bodygaurd in CA during Vietnam...John Wayne, I hear, was a classic 'draft dodging' hypocrite)

:/



Anyways...'The War' always has a way of coming home with unpleasant results.
Somehow, other wise intelligent people always seem surprised when this happens to 'our brave men and women'.
