Sex Crimes in the Military
May 4, 2015
They are far greater than the DOD is reporting. And it’s not just military personnel who aren’t safe. Civilians are being assaulted by servicemen as well. How many sexual assaults will it take before fathers and brothers and husbands and uncles do what they can to teach young women not to join the military. Shame on pastors who cheer when young women in their churches join the military. And, of course, men get sexually assaulted in the military as well. The military is not safe for anyone. And certainly not foreigners on the receiving end of U.S. bombs and bullets.
