Every once in a while I run into someone who believes we’ve solved racism, sexism, and a whole host of other social/moral issues.  I say we have not. - TheEnd

The women who serve in the military fight just as hard
to keep from being raped as they do against any enemy.
Actually the US Department of defense is their enemy.
They are expected to suck it up keep their mouth closed
and keep serving.That is what Rumsfeld promoted when he
ran the joint. I suspect nothing has changed much. They
don’t want to wreck the career of one of their valuable
war studs over a piece of ass.

You raise up a barbaric society that glorifies imperialism, violence, turns women into objects, glorifies porn and power and this is what you get.
