More Than 30 Female Trainees ‘Victims of US Air Force Sex Scandal’
29th June 2012
Six of the 12 instructors under investigation for misconduct face charges ranging from rape to adultery. A senior Air Force commander said nine of those instructors were in the same squadron, briefing reporters at the Pentagon at the same time that one of the accused appeared in a Lackland courtroom.
Such is the inevitable consequence of having women serve in the military, although ‘I told you so’ is cold comfort. That having been said, these people (if guilty) need to be hung out to dry in a very public way. Unit cohesion cannot survive this sort of abuse of power, which is why it cannot be tolerated the least little bit.

“Such is the inevitable consequence of having women serve in the military” Sounds like a Boys Will Be Boys excuse to me.
You seem to imply that American men are incapable of not abusing their authority when there’s pussy to be had. I find that rather sad.
I wonder if the Israeli defense force–where women have been serving alongside men for the past 70 years–have this problem?
I suspect not.

It’s a man thing, Dennis. You wouldn’t understand.
“Knesset committee on The Status of Women, chaired by Knesset Member Zipi Hotovely (Likud).
According to the 2008 military survey, one of seven female soldiers report that they have been victims of sexual harassment or assault. Of the 363 reports of sexual harassment or worse , 62% were physical; 5% of the complainants were men. When it came time to pursue the charges, only 63% of the women complainants chose to pursue the matter further.”

“It’s a man thing, Dennis. You wouldn’t understand.”
Proof, if any were needed, that the troglodytes are alive and well.

“one of seven female soldiers report that they have been victims of sexual harassment or assault” So I guess the Israelis do have a problem with it.
Too bad there are so many men in the world who think that if you have a dick, it gives you free license to be a dick.
