I am sorry for the women in today service, the leadership is down from when I was on active duty late 70s and early 80s. But ladies you need to do one thing to help yourself in the military. That is the ladies that scream rape when they were not rape and they are the ones that do it cause they do not get there way. I've seen were the girl is to old and they cry and try to walk out in the desert, to a girl using sex to move up two racks from sex. There have been times from active duty to guard were girls use sex for one thing or another. What make it worst is when a female soldier say she was rape and after it was check out they lied.
These are some of the most brave and heroic women I've ever seen. Their perpetrators need to be held accountable, and justice must be done. As women go into combat positions, I hope they are well armed to defend themselves and their fellow soldiers against all enemies foreign and domestic. We can't change the past, but we can put the accused rapists on trial, and get them out of the military, put them in prison where they belong, and give them the record they deserve. Train your daughters to expect the worst, and to be prepared to destroy their attackers using all means necessary. Train your sons to respect women, to protect them from their peers, and to understand their sexual drives. This dishonors the US Military, and makes me ashamed of them.
