Sexual assault cases among the military are increasing at rapid levels.
A new survey of the Pacific Air Forces released Thursday, found serious flaws in the handling of sexual assault cases. Pacific commander Gen. William Begert conducted a five month study which uncovered 106 accused offenders involved in 92 rapes from 2001 to 2003.
"What we found is we have the problem, as you would expect," he told the Colorado Springs Gazette. Gen. Begert described the results as disappointing, but "not terribly surprising".
Indeed, a thinking person would expect that having women in the military would lead to many problems including cases of sexual harassment, assault, and even rape.
There have been at least 56 cases of rape or sexual assault reported since 1993 at the Air Force Academy, which is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. That prompted a shakeup in leadership there last year.
And the Air Force Times reports that "sexual assault continues to be a sensitive topic in the military; Pentagon officials recently said there have been 106 reports of sexual assaults among troops deployed in the Middle East over the past 14 months."
The government answer to the problem of female sexual assault in the military, is to promote education and sensitivity training among their male counterparts. It never really addresses the real issue that women don't belong in the military.
I'm not chauvinistic. I believe that a woman should receive the same dignity and respect that any man receives. And when performing the same type of work, opportunities and pay should be indiscriminatory.
That being said, however, common sense dictates that there are differences between men and women. Hence, there are certain types of work that are inappropriate for one gender or the other. The military is an example of a "career" that should not be afforded to women.
There are sanitary issues with respect to menstruation, and also the inability to concentrate on the mission when the associated cramps become a problem. Women are generally not built as physically strong as men, so lifting heavy equipment may become more of a problem.
And, of course, there is the not-so-small issue of hormones.
It isn't difficult to see that is a created crisis, designed to demoralize and weaken the military. If you place a woman in the midst of numerous sexually-starved males, there are going to be some that will take advantage of the situation and make a victim out of her. That doesn't make it right, but unfortunately, it's a reality.
When the issue of women in the military came to the forefront, many of us were predicting that these types of incidents would take place. And thus they have.
It has always been the job of the strong male to protect the weaker female. The male is created to be the bread-winner, the hunter, the warrior. That is why God created the man to be stronger. It was His plan to have the man be the defender and provider of the home.
The female was designed by God to be a nurturer, the family care-giver, the homemaker. She has a softer voice, a certain tenderness, and the capacity and equipment to nurse the young.
Modern-day feminism asserts that there are no differences between the male and female. To suggest that there are differences, they contend, is to be discriminatory. But history proves that in the end, the fate of women is not improved after the feminists have their way.
The radical feminist movement campaigned for the "right" to kill their unborn children. And since the 1973 activist Supreme Court sided with them, millions of unborn children many of them women have been the victims of murder inside the womb. Additionally, many women have had abortions only to have the reality of it haunt them the rest of their lives.
Indeed, there are many cases in which complications from abortion have resulted that were not dealt with quickly, due to the fact that parental notification laws were designed to "protect" the minor female's "right to choose". These are dirty details that you don't see in the controlled media.
Today, women have the "opportunity" to fight, bleed, and die on battlefields right along with the men. They are equally entitled to their uniform and rank. And they are verbally assaulted, groped, sodomized, and raped. This is justice, according to the militant feminist movement and cultural Marxists.
Feminism sought to make them equals, and has again made them victims.
