because it struck me while watching this video that no US General would EVER say some of the things this man said
I wandered across an awkward conversation on a coworker's Facebook page the other day that to me really emphasized how hidden and insinuated sexual assault is in U.S. military culture that I may as well summarize here:
Link gets posted to a news article about how women who are otherwise interested in going to the military have to seriously consider the problem of sexual assault in their decisionmaking.
Friend's friend, an ex-military lady, posts: This is exactly what's wrong with the media. I'm a woman and I was in the military and I never felt unsafe for a moment. The liberal media just grabbed an isolated story and blew it out of proportion to insult the service.
Friend's another friend, an ex-military man, posts: Uh, $name, didn't you know that one of your friends, $name2 was raped while you were both serving together?
And she didn't know.
