"The Chaplain Told Her It Must Have Been God's Will For Her To Be Raped" Jackie Speier

revolutionarypolitics.tv...

I'm not in the military( Wouldn't dream of it to be blunt), but really this is a problem. This problem has existed for awhile now this is nothing new. A female soldier, or any rape victim in the military, should have much more help then this. What are your thoughts on this guys? I think this is disgusting. I didn't know rape was the result of "God's will". That Chaplain can go suck a fat one for that comment.

Absolutely vile. Disgusting. Evil. Sick.

As long as you're just looking for thoughts, and nothing substantial, I'd say I don't know enough yet.

My digging around isn't coming up with much hard information, and it's often a "he said, she said" situation anyway.

The few hard numbers I've found deal with "Military sexual trauma." That can include a slap on the butt, an off-color remark, an actual forceful rape, a woman submitting to get some benefit, or sex while drunk.

Sure, any rape is a bad thing, but I still don't know what we've got here. Outside of the Congresswoman's speech, there wasn't really much to go on.

Anyway, just some uninformed thoughts.
