US Military Sexual assaults....Easy to see why it happens.

The US military has an epidemic of sexual assaults. They insist they can handle the problem internally. 

But here is an example why 25,000 woman have been victims……Because the US military doesn’t care. Not even a little bit.

This General faced 20 years in prison. The Prosecutor requested 18 months. He received 0 days in jail.

He was accused of “twice forcing a female captain to perform oral sex and threatening to kill her if she told anyone”. For that he gets to retire with his military pension and pay a fine.

The message that sends to the rest of the military is clear. Sexual assault is not a big deal.

"The system worked. I've always been proud of my Army," Sinclair said outside court after reacting to his sentence with a smile and an embrace of his lawyers. "All I want to do now is go north and hug my kids and my wife."

A true family man…… That is a beautiful thing. I am sure his wife can’t wait to receive that hug.

In the military they can control a lot of things. When a soldier sleeps. When he eats. When he runs. The way he talks. What he wears. It is all about complete discipline. If you don’t show discipline you are in big trouble.

But one thing they have no control over is protecting female soldiers. That can’t seem to be done.

Sure the military can teach soldiers how to keep secrets while being tortured by the enemy. That is teachable.

But teaching them to respect woman is a whole other level of training. They continue to fail miserably at it.
