#1 I love the way commie rags bring up an important topic only to indoctrinate you in a 2nd. Yes there were probably (I don't know) rapes in Iraq. But those responsible will be prosecuted. The rest of this article is Hollywood material and nothing else.

#2 Quick question for you military guys... how much inclined are you to press ungentlemanly attentions on a military woman who is A)most likely armed, B)probably carries a knife (Which I ALWAYS did, and which my daughter the Marine now does)and C)has had pretty thurough self-defense training? I presume y'all value your gonads, of course.

#6 American women will soon be flocking to relative feminist paradises, like Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. "Somebody save me!!"

#7 Sgt Mom, NOT VERY LIKELY! But like the rest of civilization, the Military has it's share of low-lifes and malcontents. Military courts are quite severe when it comes to cases of rape. If it were my daughter, the guy had better hope the authorities get to him first! The man/man rape really bother me too!

#8 I'm not saying it doesn't happen and Cyber Sarge is right there will always be some low-lifes and malcontents. I served for 8 years and was never inappropriately approached nor were any of the other women I served with. Of course it was a different time and era. I joked around with my male counterparts and it was pretty raunchy at times but I didn't take offense nor think it was inappropriate. Some of all of this is purely PC crap!

Does anyone else see how this article echoes Hillary's comments recently about how Iraqi women were better off under Sadam? More of the same bs! Make sure I have equal rights and work and you can beat me, rape me, and kill my family -- NOT! I'll take freedome and liberty any day without a guaranteed job!

#10 Jackal - it's hard to tell - they all are pretty much the same group of people and I wouldn't be surprised if their phones all rang into the same office.
