Does this mean they have to put in for the draft like they should have had to do since they got the right to vote?
Well, sorta kinda. 352 US female military personnel have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, Tammy Duckworth (sp?) lost both her legs in Iraq.Longstreet said:On a side note, i thought this already was he case, even in the US military forces.
It's important to note that, like racism, sexual harassment is a fact in the armed forces of Great Britain & Northern Ireland. However that doesn't mean that it's not an issue that's being addressed.Vault101 said:I can't deny it due to lack of scources/knowelege on the topicTheIronRuler said:.
I am my gender. I know people in the army. This happens, and there's often the abuse of power involved. Having a bunch of guys and a few women in a squad away from base doing patrols in red zones for weeks will get ugly at some point or another.
eee, you can deny it. You know what? If you deny it, don't quote this message. Because if you do, I don't want to follow up on that.
I just....it just kind of disturbed me that "people"..."normal people/men" can turn into rapists just because they are out on a tour of duty, on their own friggen squad...I mean I know solders do questionable things but....this one baffles me
is there a history of man on man rape at all?
I would like to be able to agree with you, but as it stands, it is a very serious and depressingly commonplace problem.Dijkstra said:As a guy, I'm happy to say that, unlike you, I don't claim that 'knowing my gender' means that I think guys will rape girls so quickly.TheIronRuler said:.Vault101 said:general sexual harrasment and such is to be expected..but rape?TheIronRuler said:This is bad news...
Poor gals already have it bad as it is, now some will be stuck in nowhere with a group of guys on patrol. Sexual harassment and rape will go through the roof.
I'm not personally against women in fighting roles, but the prospects are frightening.
give your gender some credit..PLEASE

Saying that to a female Marine wouldn't be a bad way to go about that, I suppose.
How are they supposed to know who is going to rape someone and who is not?Fuzzed said:Why does the military hire people that want to rape chicks?
