For there is a pretty good chance, like one in three, that she will be raped. The odds that she will be murdered are not inconsequential.
Think about that for a second. The odds against a female soldier being raped are 2 to 1. Even favorites in the Kentucky Derby rarely have odds that high.
One of George Bush's favorite claims is that by invading Iraq, the "rape rooms" of Saddam's evil sons were closed. You would think that he would show a similar level of concern about the rape rooms being informally operated by the United States Army.
You would be so wrong.
If your daughter or your sister or your wife joins the Army and is sent to Iraq, she has good odds of being raped by her fellow soldiers. She has fair odds of coming home in a gray box after having been murdered by one or more of her fellow soldiers. And the rapists and killers will never see the inside of a jail cell, let alone a courtroom.
Take heed. Please. Women in the Army are not co-equals, like the women of Battlestar Galactica or Starship Troopers. Women in the Army, especially enlisted women, stand a good chance of being turned into sexual toys by their fellow soldiers.
The Army likes to say that they never will leave a fellow soldier behind. They never said they wouldn't rape the shit out of her.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
You know, when I was in (AF '80 - '86), we all used to sleep around but I never heard of any military on military rape at a base I was at. I wouldn't let a son anywhere near there, let alone a daughter.
