Bullshit?
-TSO
I was a Leader. A Section head, a Maintenance Chief, A Company Gunny and ran Enlisted and Officer single Housing for a year. And NEVER once did any female ever come to me and tell me they were sexually assaulted. I was an Instructor on an Army Base for 4 years where for a while I was in charge of the Troop Barracks that is the only time anyone ever came to me with a sexual Harassment complaint. I got her in touch with the right people though I doubt it went far since she had all kind of discipline problems and was accusing the guy that had my job before me. The one that had to write all her idiotic problems up. That was also where I knew the other Army female that claimed harassment ohh and also racism. Of course her problem was complicated by the fact she was claiming the Instructor was racist against orientals and his wife was oriental.
I knew who she was because we got instructed to NEVER be in a room alone with her. She tried to corner me once. I got up and went into the hallway to have our discussion.
RGS, there probably are some false claims and maybe hopefuls looking to get out or even just transferred. But there are probably plenty of abuses that go on that they just don't want to talk about and are trying hard to forget happened...or maybe planning their own revenge, and I bet some got it.
How stupid is that, to rape a woman who you know is going to have a gun in your presence possibly in places a little isolated...
oh I think you misunderstand Jent, most women in the military do not carry guns and none are allowed to be grunts in the field. their are some exceptions, guns for convoy duty or the women in the MP/SP or whatever police is called for the specific branch. most women in the military fall under hospital/clerical professions and are not on the frontlines so to speak. I do agree with you that women should not be allowed on the frontline co-ed with the troops. and as far as I know that is not being changed.
I had to pull TCN duty once and their were women doing that as well, but they were useless, they were not allowed to do anything alone with the TCN, where I was and had to train/ follow them alone, so they would team me up with a women on occasion and it was pointless in that you had to have extra people to do the job of one person, but it was nice for my morale I guess. other then that why bother.
