Why do we have such a problem with sexual assaults against our Women Warriors? Particularly in the Army, is it because the army is so large?

1. Lots of you folks were not raised responsibly , nor respectively.2. Many folks have it drummed into their heads that women in the service are either gay or sluts, because a good woman would have a better job, or home minding kids. 3. Many idiots think that they are easy targets cause they won't tell. It's not only the Army, but we are the largest component. Its Wrong, just damn dead wrong!

What is the basis of your allegation that the Army has an especially high amount of sexual assaults? The most recent article I read from military.com said, "Of the services, the Marine Corps had the worst record of sexual assaults against women, with an incidence rate of nearly 11%, followed by the Navy, 7.5%; the Army, 5.8%; and the Air Force, 4.3%."

If you were raised by my Mom in my family and my community, you wouldn't hardly think of rape or abuse, and you wouldn't do it. We may have been just dumb old Iowa farmers, but we had a quiet, decent way of living. I don't think it is the military or any branch, I think the problem is a lack of respect, a lack of basic human decency, and a self-centered way of looking at the world at the expense of all others. We need less permissiveness and "entitlement" in school, all students are entitled to is a free education. We need more respect and discipline across society and a renewed sense that everyone is valuable, everyone is equal. We need to stop calling each other snowflakes and deplorables (yes, I'm guilty, too).

Remember, most rapists were raised by women. Don't be your kid's buddy, be a mean old parent and teach decency, respect, and honor, or wear out the little shit's behind in the process.
