In reply to the discussion: Female Army Vet Accused of Murdering Her Three Daughters, Ages 3, 2 and 2 Months [View all]Munificence
(493 posts)about there "being no doubt that she was sexually assaulted while serving" and paint a picture of some goings on I seen in the Army as a combat troop:
I was a combat troop in the 1st Gulf War. Before and after the war we were in "tent cities" and being in a tent city you get a large mix of troops (support and combat). It was typical at the time that female troops were not mixed in with combat troops, but boy oh boy did they sell themselves to the combat troops whenever the could.
I know of at least 5 female soldiers who sold themselves nightly and multiple times each night. It was $200 a pop and they'd service 5-10 guys a night making good money each night to supplement their income. Prostitution ran rampant and no one was forcing any of the females to do it, it was their decision.
The Army tried to crack down on this but as soon as they'd discipline the females and think they had stopped the problem then then other females around would move up and fill the vacancy... chasing that "easy money".
So maybe from my experiences I could say "There is no doubt that she was just another whore in the military"...how would you feel about that in the title? I'd never make that claim even though it does run rampant during times of conflict/in a combat zone.
EDIT:
And I'd like for you to note that every single time one of them got in trouble or caught whoring themselves out they would scream "rape" as defense as they knew it would be their best defense. I also know of several soldiers who got caught in the act with these whores and the first thing out of the females mouth was "I was being raped" and several of these soldiers were either kicked out of the army or actually served time...over a piece of ass from a whore as the military is gonna take a different route as soon as a female screams "rape". It's his word against hers and we all know damn well that society is going to scream on her behalf vs. his.
