SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY ! ![]() Sexual assault in military !
"Twenty-nine percent say they were raped during their military service. They spoke of their continued terror, feelings of helplessness and downward spirals many of their lives have taken since. Only 8 percent of perpetrators, were referred to courts martial. By comparison, 40 percent of those arrested in the civilian world on such charges are prosecuted.Defense statistics show that military commanders took unspecified action, which can include anything from punishment ( an article 15 which doesn't even follow them!) to dismissal, in additional cases. The Government Accountability Office released results from an investigation into sexual assaults in the military and found that the "occurrences of sexual assault may be exceeding the rates being reported.""Left unchecked, these challenges can discourage or prevent some service members from using the programs when needed," the GAO said. BE IT KNOWN THAT THE CURRENT CONGRESS HAS REFUSED THEIR ASSENT TO LAWS THE MOST WHOLESOME AND NECESSARY FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD! THEY HAVE REFUSED TO PASS OTHER LAWS FOR THE ACCOMODATION OF LARGER DISTRICTS OF PEOPLE, UNLESS THOSE PEOPLE RELINQUISH THE RIGHT OF REPRESENTATION IN THE LEGISLATURE, LOBBYISTS, REVOLVING DOOR BEAUROCRATS AND UNKNOWN FOREIGN ENTITIES TICKLE THE EARS OF REPRESENTATIVES. THEY ARE NO LONGER BOUND TO REPRESENT THE COMMON GOOD! THEY MEET IN WASHINGTON FAR AWAY FROM THEIR CONSTITUENCY AND REFUSE THEIR CONSTITUENTS ACCESS LOCALLY AND MEET BEHIND CLOSED DOORS IN SESSIONS UNSEEN IN BACK ROOMS MAKING DEALS FOR THE PURPOSE OF FATIGUING US INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THEIR MEASURES. THEY HAVE DISSOLVED OUR REPRESENTATION REPEATEDLY, FOR OPPOSING CONTINUAL INVASIONS ON THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE WITH THE PATRIOT PLAN, GIVING UP RIGHTS WITH CAMERA'S ON OUR STREETS, GIVING UP OUR RIGHTS OF PROTEST WITH TRAFFIC LAWS TO BREAKUP AND ARREST AND ABUSE PROTESTERS. Keep reading this will become clear! This is not a crazy website! THEY HAVE CAUSED DISTRICTS TO BE DRAWN SO LEGISLATIVE POWERS ARE INCAPABLE OF ANNIHILATION AND THE PEOPLE MEANWHILE REMAIN EXPOSED TO DANGERS OF CORPORATE GREED AND CORPORATE CRIMES. THEY REFUSE TO PROTECT OUR OWN BORDERS FROM DRUGS AND CRIMINALS WHILE MAKING WAR ON OTHER SHORES. OUR JUDICIARY POWERS HAVE BECOME SUPREME AND KINGLY AND IMPEACHMENT IS NO LONGER SPOKEN WHEN TAKING RIGHTS AND PROPERTY FROM PRIVATE CITIZENS NOT FOR THE COMMON GOOD. THEY HAVE ERECTED A WHOLE MULTITUDE OF NEW OFFICES IN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW AND SENT HITHER SWARMS OF OFFICERS TO HARRASS OUR PEOPLE AND EAT OUT THEIR SUBSTANCE BY HIGH INTEREST RATES, SURCHARGES, STEALING PENSIONS THROUGH FRAUD, AND MORTAGE MACHINATIONS AND SCAMS. THEY HAVE ALLOWED THE MILITARY INDUSTRY TO GROW INDEPENDENT OF AND SUPERIOR TO CIVIL POWER.THEY PROTECT THIS MILITARY BY MOCK TRIALS FROM PUNISHMENT FOR RAPE, CHILD ABUSE, WIFE ABUSE, THEY COMMIT FROM INHABITANTS ON THESE STATES ALSO SERVING OR MARRIED TO THEM OR CHILDREN THEREOF. THEY IMPOSE TAXES ON US WITHOUT OUR CONSENT OR WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY. THEY ALTER FUNDAMENTALLY THE FORMS OF OUR STATE GOVERNMENTS EVEN TO MEDDLE IN OUR ELECTIONS WITH CORRUPT VOTING MACHINES. THEY HAVE PLUNDERED OUR SEAS WITH OIL SPILLS, RAVAGED OUR COASTS WITH THE SAME AND OVERDEVELOPMENT, AND FACTORY SPILLS, BURNED OUR TOWNS AT WILL, AND DESTROYED THE LIVES OF OUR PEOPLE TO THE POINT A MAJORITY ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO PURSUE HAPPINESS. THEY ARE TRANSPORTING MERCENARIES TO COMPLETE THE WORKS OF OPPRESSION, DESOLATION,AND TYRANNY UNWORTHY A CIVILIZED NATION. THEY HAVE EXCITED DOMESTIC INSURRECTION AMONG US WITH THEIR LIES AND POLITICAL SPINMEISTERS. WE HAVE PETITIONED REDRESS BY APATHETIC VOTING RECORDS BUT THESE HAVE ONLY BEEN ANSWERED BY REPEATED INJURY. OUR GOVERNORS CANNOT PROTECT THEIR OWN BORDERS FROM IMMEDIATE AND PRESSING DANGER OF TERRORISTS IN OUR MIDST BECAUSE OF CONGRESS UTTER NEGLECT TO ATTEND TO THESE MATTERS THESE PEOPLE ARE UNFIT TO RULE OR REPRESENT THE COMMON GOOD OF WE THE PEOPLE UNTIL THEY BEGIN TO SERVE ALL THE PEOPLE AS OUR FOUNDING FATHERS INTENDED. IF THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR, IT SHOULD! IT IS A TAKE ON OUR VERY OWN DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!
![]() VFW,DAV, DO THEY REALLY HELP?DO WE NEED A NEW Organization? ![]() ONE IN 5 WOMEN AND ONE IN 100 MEN ANSWER YES TO HAVING BEEN ASSAULTED ACCORDING TO THE VA'S OWN RECORDS AND TO HAVE THE VA MINIMIZE THIS HAS AFFECTED VETS! NO SERVICE ORGANIZATION EXCLUSIVELY REPRESENTS ALL THE NEEDS OF VETERANS, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF CLAIMS WITH MST They wanted the wasted years to mean something." They didn't feel that the country owed them a living, yet they did feel they should have been returned to the status they were had they not gone to war. VA cheated many of these men out of pensions in the same way they do today through repeated trips to far away hospitals to keep appointments and threats at discontinuing their claims.. For many vets who were raped or sexually assaulted in the military, we can never be returned to the status we were had we not gone to the military. Many of us suffer from PTSD delayed onset because there were no laws in place, nor no means available to report our rapes. Often we would have been forced to report to the very perpetrators, or if we did report, we were revictimized by those we sought protection from.
TO HAVE THAT LOSS MINIMIZED BY THE VA OR SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS IS ADDING INSULT TO OUR INJURIES. Many of us walked down VA hallways hoping to find help, kindness, only to get more of the same heartache and disappointment we faced seeking help then. We served honorably ! We are America's veterans. In todays services ! do we need a different service organization that serve MST needs? Keep up reading my Hall of Shame!
