		<description>it was just generally accepted as part of the culture that the women were there for the pleasure of the men. I have been physically groped in many darkrooms by my fellow shipmates who felt they were entitled to do so — even had one guy try to remove my clothing while I was developing prints. Resisting or complaining brought (at best) responses of “well, you WANTED to be here!” or “what do you want us to do about it?” or “he was just joking with you — you’re way too sensitive!” and (at worst) being branded a pariah and saying goodbye to decent assignments and promotions.

When I read about the Tailhook incident in Las Vegas years later, I wasn’t surprised. Saddened, but &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/dell/latitude-d600.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dell latitude d600 battery&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/dell/inspiron-510m.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dell inspiron 510m battery&lt;/a&gt; not surprised. I feel the same way now, because I realize nothing has changed. WHEN is this going to be taken seriously?</description>

		<description>I know this is overblown X 100.  It makes me sick and it dishonors those that actually have been sexually assaulted.  It is comparable to military people seeing the psychiatrist.  There are a few that get out of certain punishment, duties, or maybe even get to go home because they have legitimate, debilitaing mental illness.  All other soldiers are aware of this.  For some less scrupulous (sp?), a light bowl goes on.  Hmmmm....if I say &quot;A&quot;, I either get out of things I don&#039;t like or get goodies I do like.  This congresswoman is enabling scumbags.  Note:  Not that it will matter to some who crucify me, but I&#039;m all about preventing and punishing sexual assault of anyone.</description>

		<description>wintermd Says: &lt;em&gt;Send Ted Kennedy in. He will save them all.
Somebody GOOGLE Kennedy and that bridge&lt;/em&gt;

And did you Google &quot;that bridge&quot;?  If you had you&#039;d know the name of it, (Chappaquiddick) and how much it has to do with rape or any other sort of sexual offense, (nothing at all).

Lord, you wing nuts never let go of anything, even long after none of you can remember what it was really about.</description>

		<description>I just want to thank ThinkProgress for highlighting important stories like this when over half the formerly-progressive formerly-dedicated-to-news sites online have disfigured themselves into mini-MSM Hillary-bashing machines.

This is the type of story the online news community can make sure don&#039;t get buried by all the nonsense out there.  Change is not going to happen without information.</description>

Anyway, even if I did think of it as minor - and again, I don’t, where the hell do you two get off flagging someone because they make a statement you think that you might disagree with? Sheesh!&lt;/em&gt;

Sorry if I misunderstood your intent, boreas.  Please don&#039;t assume that I &lt;em&gt;thought&lt;/em&gt; I &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; disagree with the statement -- I did disagree with it.  There&#039;s ugly shit happening on this blog lately, and misunderstandings will happen.</description>

		<description>boreas Says:&lt;em&gt; The “relatively minor” offense of groping a junior of the opposite sex would doubtless have been lost in the shuffle.&lt;/em&gt;

Fred Says:&lt;em&gt; I’m flagging this one……..&lt;/em&gt;
 
Zooey Says:&lt;em&gt; I agree, Fred.
Flagged.&lt;/em&gt;

Don&#039;t you people understand the purpose of the quotation marks above?  I personally believe that the groping offense is far from minor but am convinced that the Navy would have regarded it as such when compared to striking a superior officer.

Anyway, even if I did think of it as minor - and  again, I &lt;strong&gt;don&#039;t&lt;/strong&gt;, where the hell do you two get off flagging someone because they make a statement you &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt; that you &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; disagree with?  Sheesh!</description>

		<description>No, don&#039;t flag him, he&#039;s right. 

In all ethical codes there are things that overshadow all other aspects of a situation. If you strike a superior officer, all bets are off. Nobody cares why you did it. 

Don&#039;t flag that guy, geeze.</description>

…. who, were it not for their barbaric confinement, would be upstanding members of society?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Don&#039;t try to compare vioent rapists to people in prison.

70% or more are non-violent drug offenders who are methodically turned into violent (smart) criminals by our justice system.  I would say that before they were put in prison that they had just a good a chance of being upstanding members of society as anyone else in their neighborhood........

prison in America is a business.  Newt Ginritch said in the 90&#039;s that the goal of republcians and big business was to have 10% of Americans behind bars.</description>

		<description>MCMetal Says: &lt;em&gt;...and I’m sorry , but your fellow petty officer didn’t do enough.

I would have thrown the Chief Petty Officer through the ship’s hull……..Who’s to say he just didn’t repeat his ‘performance’ on you on some other woman later on ?&lt;/em&gt;

Thereby screwing up the whole issue.  To act as you suggest would have resulted in a Captain&#039;s Mast for the crime of striking a superior officer.  The &quot;relatively minor&quot; offense of groping a junior of the opposite sex would doubtless have been lost in the shuffle.</description>

		<description>JohnR Says: &lt;em&gt;I&#039;m certainly not excusing rape - it’s barbaric - and the consequences should be certain. However, it’s not surprising. Years fighting in a hell hole with out any sex - just look at inmates correctional facilities.&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>Wayne A. Schneider says: &lt;em&gt;That having been said, I hope any soldiers that raped anyone else, let alone a fellow soldier, were castrated and tied down in the desert with their genitalia stuffed in their mouths. And, no, that is not in the UCMJ. But it ought to be.&lt;/em&gt;

Good lord!  How Inquisitorial of you!  I guess that would fall under extra judicial punishment.</description>

		<description>MapleStreet &lt;em&gt;Says: And what does this say about “our boys” who are so courageously serving our country in uniform ?&lt;/em&gt;

TheToonGuy responds: &lt;em&gt;It says that they are not being given adequate supervision and training.&lt;/em&gt;

It says that and more.  This won&#039;t be popular, I expect, but this is what you get with an all-volunteer, i.e. professional, army.  You get people that, frankly, love violence.  Not exclusively, perhaps, but to a significant degree and rape is far more about violence and subjugation than it is about sex.</description>
