Mythological to have peace? I am afraid not. I post a idea and the reaction comes negative believing it cannot come true. With such mindsets ...yes there will be no peace on this planet. Change your mind and believe in peace and advocate it on a daily bases The more people know about the importance of peace the more people will practice it Peaceful families can create peaceful communities and bring forth a peaceful nation. yet if you think negative in doing so it won't happen Will there be a time where the world will be at peace without wars? Many say no it is not possible. I say yes one day there will be. Positive energy = positive results By the way this message I wrote earlier is from a Cambodian President. If you know the history of Cambodia they had many problems including war. When he announced this speech the war stopped, dialogue came to the tables in trying to restore the countries differences and peace was ensured. It is amazing how one speech can change a nation just like one document can. Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and so forth. Words and Writings can be powerful instruments for both bad and good deeds. Believe we can have better times in the future and we will have better times. It takes baby steps and sometimes you don't take any steps some days, but you never fail trying. Never give up! Believe in peace and most likely we can find a way to ensure it, otherwise YOU are the source of not ensuring peace for the next man and woman and child. There will be no peace as long as there are Muslims in this world. wow just wow 
Ok, by your statement it appears you know very little about the Islamic faith. I won't go into that as all you need to do is look at the Middle East. When was the last time they were completely at peace with no fighting of any kind? I am not even sure. Certainly not since WWII. For being such a peace loving religion as so many claim in this country, they certainly are professing that peace kind of violently... You can not possibly know anything about what I know and do not know about by a 3 word post.... your posts however speak volumes Ok, so --- why did you say "wow" then? I did say "appears" because that is what it looks like... |

Yup, a lot of people don't understand the difference if they never served. I remember being shocked when I took my oath to defend my flurry. There is one line where you say something like - I understand I can be executed for dereliction of duty. You say on your oath that you give permission for your chain of command to kill you. This may sound cold. But there was a reason they didn't let women in the military earlier. I believe this just shows why it isn't a good idea. Anyone that argues that the men should just keep it in their pants is of course correct on these situations. However, pragmatically - that is a pipe dream. This post of yours.....disturbing. 2 times now you are saying that if 'we' haven't been in the military we just don't understand.... understand what? Rape is rape regardless of who has been in the military. I already asked..what does being trained to fight have to do with rape.. and i have been wrong before, probably will be again I am only trying to explain why the percentage of rape in the military is higher than the national average. That is a fact. Is it just coincidence? Does the military just attract these kind of people? I think it is because of the way men are trained to be willing to kill someone because they are wearing a different uniform. Because in battle, that is all there is to it. You can't have men on the front line that will be hesitant to pull the trigger because that is another human being on the other side. That is what it takes to defend our country from those that want to destroy us. If you don't like it, then abolish the military altogether and turn over our country to someone else. But then they will form their own military and the cycle starts all over again... And this makes you think it's ok to make excuses for rape in the military? Where in the world are you getting this idea???? I have NEVER said rape was ok anywhere either in or out of the military!!!!! I did say the men that do this are weak and cowardly. How is that making an excuse for them???? I was only trying to answer the question I just posed... Why is the percentage of rapes in the military higher than the national average? The OP stared off saying that women in the military should be provided medical care for abortions. I looked at the problem of women being raped in the military. That is all I have done in this thread. Tried to answer the question: why is it higher than the national average. And since it is higher than the national average, maybe we would be better off if women were not allowed in the military. this statement keeps coming back to me..... "Anyone that argues that the men should just keep it in their pants is of course correct on these situations. However, pragmatically - that is a pipe dream." Taking women out of the military so the men won't be tempted, c'mon! WTF....lets just all wear burka's so the poor horny men won't get a boner and have to rape. Such silly-ness! The problem won't be solved by removing the women. The problem isn't with the rape victim, it's with the rapist. Take the drugs away from an addict and the problem is only gone until drugs are back in the picture, their still an addict. Personally I have never had an interest in serving in the military..if a woman chooses that, why should she be punished from serving because someone else may want to rape her, that just makes no sense. Put them in a burka, take away the make-up, cut the hair, no pretty skirts allowed.....take away all that makes a woman a woman and the problem still is there because the vagina is still there. Maybe a pocket-p uSs y for all horny military men is needed. ok, so, ignore the fact that there is rape in the military and just give them access to medical treatment after. Sex crimes have an extremely high recidity rate. There is another reason to keep women out of the military. Rape really destroys moral. I was deployed to Bosnia for 7 months. No rapes occurred that I know of but there was a lot of sex and peeping toms. It got to the point that I was ashamed to even realize the person I was looking at was a woman. I felt guilty just for being a man. |

Why is the percentage of rapes in the military higher than the national average? who says it is??? what are the percentages in the military as opposed to the national average??? When I was in it was a shameful fact that was brought up in all the sexual harassment classes I had to attend. Attendance of this class is mandatory for all military personnel. Can't remember the rate. At least twice a year. May have been once a quarter. In my unit, referring to a woman in a derogatory manner was punished with an Article 15. Then I transferred to a new unit and my first day there witnessed sexual harassment in a squad meeting and none of the sergeants in charge did anything about it. It was a private that did it. The difference being - my first unit was all male. The second was mixed. |

While I appreciate the sacrifices the military makes for us, at the same time strongly oppose war...perhaps society has placed military personal in the 'god status'. Like I said earlier, kinda like the NBA. The un-touchable, I can have what I want, you know you want me babay mentality is a problem. The rules of rape don't change just because your taught to be a fighter. I do feel that teaching men, women to hate, fight, etc. can surly do a number on your head since it isn't natural to hate and want to hurt others. However..the rules don't change..rape is rape. You choose this life, live it with dignity. Being a soldier is no excuse to be a rapist! I NEVER said it was!!! Those men are trash and should be treated as such. |

Obviously neither of you have been in the military. And you seem to just be passing it off as saying they're in the military, so that's just the way it is, which is sad and disturbing. I'm NOT passing it off. Are women raped outside the military? yes. Are women raped in the military? yes. The military has a higher percentage. Why? |

"You can be executed for dereliction of duty." what does this have to do with rape in the military or government funded abortions??????? this is disturbing.... "This may sound cold. But there was a reason they didn't let women in the military earlier. I believe this just shows why it isn't a good idea. Anyone that argues that the men should just keep it in their pants is of course correct on these situations. However, pragmatically - that is a pipe dream." sounds like your making excuses for the boys... I wasn't talking about abortions at all in this post. I was saying there is a problem. The problem is women in the military are being raped. The military Has REALLY tried to squash this. But still, the percentage of rapes in the military is higher than the national average. Take women out and they can't be raped. Problem solved. |

I've been wrong before Why does it disturb you??? You do acknowledge that the UCMJ is now the guiding laws that you fall under NOT the constitutional rights bestowed to citizens. You can be executed for dereliction of duty. I acknowledged there is a problem with rape in the military. The military has tried to crack down on that now for 30 years. It still is higher than the national average. That won't change because you think it should. |

You are VERY wrong about that...
My ex was raped before I knew her and I had 2 friends I knew in college that were raped. |

Very well said Abra!
I couldn't agree more. As a further example it took 4 years to build the Twin Towers and at peak construction times there were 3,500 people building it. All those man hours of peaceful construction over 4 years destroyed by a handful of men in less than an hour. Destruction is always a lot easier and a whole lot less expensive than construction. Roughly about 50 million man hours to create and 12 man hours to destroy... |

The statistics of sexual abuse in the military is starting to sound like the NBA...over powering and abusing women has gone on for thousands of years and I doubt it will ever stop. As a woman and the mother of sons, I find it very disturbing in ways I can't even put into words. The mentality I'm seeing here is a factor in it. We, as a society have come to accept this sort of behavior due in part to the rare cases where women have been dishonest about being raped. I know young men in prison for statutory because she changed her mind...this isn't fair either. When Clinton got away with his Monica episode in the oval office it sent a loud message to young men all over the country. Men displaying self control is a pipe dream....dang!!! Boys will be boys. HUH!! Women in the middle east wear a burka to hide their entire body so the men don't get too excited...and if he does, it's her fault. Ridiculous!!! I take a pro choice stand on this....however I don't feel the government should pay for abortions. The morning after pill is easily available these days and these women can get it as easily as anyone else, should be available to anyone through their insurance. Government employees have better insurance than most. My heart goes out to these women having to prove they are the victim...this is why women don't talk about it. War is hell, nothing good ever comes from it. Here is yet another reason to stop the madness. My heart goes out to these women having to prove they are the victim...this is why women don't talk about it.
Are you saying every single man accused of rape is guilty and needs to prove he is innocent? I take GREAT exception to the phrase "Boys will be boys" in this instance. Men that rape women are cowards and weak. "Boys will be boys" implies that these men are just playing around and it is the normal course of growing up. The military trains men to fight. That is their job. This will instill more confidence in the men that already are predisposed to this type of behavior. Can't be avoided. The only way they could stop it is if they could identify these men before they join and bar them from enlisting. |
