THE OTHER PTSD - SEXUAL ABUSE OF WOMEN IN THE MILITARY

[Onetazien]

and motherfuckers have the nerve to call muslims rapists

[yernott]

Stare at death in the face and you can't call it rape. Do your investigation into why people want to have a child before they die. Dumb idiot reporters.

[demonicspire1]

Very cute, anyone ever consider that rape and soldiers have gone hand and hand for iunno, a few millenia. Its like dropping cold cuts into a tiger cage and bitching and the tigers when they eat it. Seriously. You expect these men to go and murder people for you, and then conform to your societal nicities. Fucking strange.

[samten10a]

You won’t change how the military deals with rape until some rape victims gets a side arm and kill a base commander for failure to do what is right. It may take up to ten or so deaths including a four star general before shit heads realize that commanding officers can get hurt for not taking action.

[demonicspire1]

@samten10a wait, so you're suggesting mutiny, and cld blooded murder of a commanding officer? That's treason, and you'd hang for it.

[ablackrose1]

This is an issue that has long been brushed aside by the military for the sake of saving face and keeping "morale" up. That's why we've started a campaign to raise awareness for sexual abuse in the military. Visit us at ablackrose (dot) org to find out more.

[zodeloni]

these women must feel real stupid thinking they were there defending their country against turrism while the true terrorists are their own buddies in the military. i wonder what these sickos would be doing to afghan and iraqi women

[HigherGlobal]

It is a long battle. I'm hoping that I could share my own experiences and understand other people's as well through blogging. I just started one. I am determined to overcome this thing.

I want everyone (not only victims) to tune into how I feel. I really want relationship partners and prison inmates (everyone) to understand how serious and real this thing is.

Please join in serious discussion on this matter on my blog.

[eviltreemonster]

I blame those damn Bible Thumpers.

[danielmountain]

if i had a daughter i'd never let her join the US military. bunch of perverts and rapists in there that never get punished

[ANGELBLU2042]

Furthermore, many of the nurses who served in Vietnam experienced things which you could never begin to comprehend, things which even a man could have no better strength to endure. Don't you dare pass judgment on the women military because you have obviously not been there. I have and they women in the military are equal assets as men. Men also suffer PTSD from the war.

[JOAOBUNITAO]

@ANGELBLU2042 wtf are you talking about yeah nurses seen it but the men lived it women should be in certain parts of the military like nurses they should not have combat roles for many reason not even counting the physical part witch they down grade for women

[ANGELBLU2042]

RacistObamaVoters, I spent 8 years in the military and I was not physically, mentally or emotionally weak. They're sent into the war zone with guns. I scored Expert marksmanship on M16 training. Being upset about being raped is not a sign of weakness. We women were not put on this earth to be treated like subhuman bitches. You need to get educated on the concept of rape. Clearly you are ignorant about it.

[JOAOBUNITAO]

@ANGELBLU2042 your are a fucking disgrace lying bitch you didn't score shit stop lying to make yourself sound like some youtube hero your a overweight skank trying to sound like some war here on youtube lmao

[RacistObamaVoters]

It is embarrassing to see these silly females in the military, they are physically, mentally and emotionally weak.

[danielmountain]

@RacistObamaVoters

chauvinist pig

[TheShinelle]

i am a rape victim and if most of u say that u can defend youself your wrong its tourtar they hold any piece of weapon to your throut while doing it and when there done they might kill you or beat u very bad i did get beaten after and sufered in a comoa the lack of respect most men have for women these days

[BabyJesus607]

@TheShinelle Maybe we would have respect for you if you learned to spell bitch!

[bzzzyk2007]

THESE WOMEN CANT PROTECT THEMSELVES WHILE HAVING WEAPONS HANDY SO I DONT KNOW WHY THE F..K THEY THINK THEY CAN PROTECT ANYONE ELSE(country) THESE MEN CANT PROTECT THIER OWN SISTERS IN ARMY AND I DONT KNOW WHAT ARE THEY IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES FOR???

[JOAOBUNITAO]

then leave the armed forces! women cant even complete the task men do to get in the military so why are they there? if you cant do it then leave! if a men does bad as a women he cant get in but if a women does it she can how is that equality? rape the women in the military! women will never be as good soldier as men we would of lost all of our wars if women fought for us you guys are weak play your roles in life dont try and play the men'slol

[JOAOBUNITAO]

a nigger lol are u stupid you fucking stupid shit there are way more white rapist then blacks women do not deserve to be in the military they cant even complete the same task as men to get in so why the fuck are they in there that is not equality

[unclesamonmars]

You are easily among one of the most despicable people I have ever had the misfortune of hearing from, and I can only hope that you are raped someday so you may understand how miserable you really are.

[JOAOBUNITAO]

lmao im a male bitch if somebodys try to rape me i have the strenght to protect myself these bitches have no right to be put in the place of men they do not deserve to be there thats fucking bullshit they wronged the men that worked hard to be there she should get beaten for doing that

[unclesamonmars]

Because women in the military are obvious taking up space for male recruits. They aren't wronging anyone and it makes no fucking sense to say so. Are you trying to tell me that only men should be nurses? Only men should provide support?  Goddammit you are a piece of shit.

[JOAOBUNITAO]

YOU stupid bitch women get in the army by doing half of what the men are doing if they only only have to do half of the physical training then the men are doing so yes that is wronging them that is not equality and the men should stand up for this nurses have nothing to do it you stupid bitch because they dont tone down the requirements to be a nurse so women can get in

[mrskelligurl]

@JOAOBUNITAO

I suppose you are unfamiliar with the % of male-on-male rapes...you should acquaint yourself! I've seen some really strong men crying their eyes out on a gurney laying face down because their rear is to tore up to even lay on their backs. You, dear fucktard, need to get it through your skull--I say skull because due to your former posts I doubt you have a brain--any human being is capable of being over powered by another human. You are lonely and maybe for you rape a dream...

[mrskelligurl]

[JOAOBUNITAO]

@mrskelligurl yes exactly look at the percent its barely none and its usually weak ass men that will never make it to the military get raped ho!

[danajcurry]

@JOAOBUNITAO your a fool. there is no logical response to someone of your (lack of) intellect. in fact, by your responses on here, i would assume that u yourself are a rapist, or have been raped and that is why u are lashing out so dramatically. only a poor lost soul would come here and comment on how servicewomen deserve to be raped simply because they are in the service. being somewhere that a know-nothing like you has deemed inappropriate does not excuse awful things that happen while there.

[PsychoTrophyWifey]

civilized society as we know it is crumbling apart at its very seams. Many many women and men have been raped in the US armed services for 100 years. It's a silence that many people keep for fear of being "unpatriotic" if you come forward. There are many underground support groups for MST/PTSD because the VA has nothing.

[dharmaBumz]

So if combat PTSD is a challenge (understatement) for all veterans in terms of validation and receiving care, and sexual trauma is a recently emphasized issue for women veterans, what about sexualized trauma for male veterans? I know this must happen, and I want to add my concern and compassion for them as well. Thank you for sharing this informational piece.

[Darkenveloped]

LMAO, that's what you get for trying to be a man. AKA (be a woman in the military)

[FuckFuck80200]

These people need to be monitored, brain tests so we can understand what goes on in there mind. Them as well as child molesters need to be OUT of society and taken to a facility and monitered. It's sad and a discrace to the human race yet it's been happening since the start of time....weird.

[dabosedabose]

me and my husband have a video on abuse.

[kae4606]

I agree with FSDeputy81, men like you (like rapists) are a disgrace to the decent and respectable uniformed men in the military. You should be dishonored and put in jail because if you are a threat to your women comrades, you definitely could not defend our country. Shame on you uniformed men who have no morals at all! The uniform and medalsyou are wearing are worthless. You are weaker ones because you have no self control.

[kae4606]

I feel bad about these women who has been treated this way by their comrades. I personally have no respect for men in the army or army national guard. I know one who appears respectable wearing his uniform but a heartless man inside and has no respect for women and children. The army should better monitor these types of people because they are just a disgrace to other uniformed men who have high moral standards. TIME to raise standards in recruiting people not just hire for the sake of hiring.

[quanyin81]

So just because she happens to be physically weaker than him, that alone makes it okay for him to rape her?

[FSDeputy81]

Look here you cowardly insignificant little pion. First of all, I'm a man. Not a woman. As for your example, I doubt your an ancient army would've accepted a weakling like you. And I'm pretty damn sure that you won't walk up to your mother, aunt, or grandmother and tell them that they don't belong anywhere else in the kitchen. In regards to whatever job you have, you probably suck. You say pussy implies weakness. Use it on yourself you good for nothing little boy.

[FSDeputy81]

No. That's b.s. I don't care what your are. Infantry, Special Forces, Airborne, Ranger, MP, whatever. If you do that to a woman, you're a punk. You're a disgrace to the uniform and a failure as a man. And that goes for anyone who knows about it and doesn't act. Your ribbons and medals mean absolutely nothing. The US wants to defend weaker countries but won't defend the woman serving? Unacceptable. You should be dishonorably discharged, jailed, and should lose your benefits.

[ROFLVIDZZ]

It was the women that wanted to defend their country as a human being and the little boys who decided to do this to them. And you're a sexist pig who would probably do the same in that situation.

[lovinthellamas]

They didn't fuck anything up, it was the men who decided to be assholes and fuck up these womens life.

[shinnam]

Why does the military tell victims to " avoid stupid mistakes" instead of tellingthe criminals , NO means NO, and stressing that sexual assualt is dishonorable and is the abusers responisiblity ? I live in Korea and see the Armed Forces Network "Prevention ads" and it's ALWAYS directed at the victims not the criminals.

[smallrevolutions]

Women veterans DO NOT USE VAMC FOR SURGERY or any procedure requireing anesthesia. Women are being raped while under anesthesia in VAMCs. Your request all women staff take care of you will be violated. Women are being raped and infected w/STDs.

[darksita7]

you can't even say that this is a reason why women shouldn't be in the military. Try this one on for size. How about men in the military shouldn't be raping there female counterparts in the first damn place. I have as much right to be there as any man so long as I hold my own end up-which I do. And as for the crazy bitches lying about the shit- it doesn't matter if they cry wolf 'cause the guy won't get put away anyway. I'll be damned if I can't serve my country and expect to NOT get raped.

[Tmineff]

if you can pick up your end, then i aint got a problem with it. there will always be rape. especialy in a place full of men who havent gotten laid for months. if you want to die, i aint got a problem with it. lemme tell you.

dont slam my viewpoint, just to support your own.

[darksita7]

sorry- but I feel very strongly on this subject and sometimes I can't help myself. But in response to what you said now- rape is mostly about control- not sex. Sex is just a means of getting that control. So- even if our boys in Iraq were getting laid rape would still be prevalent.

[buffyeaster]

I served 6 years active duty in the Air Force from 1990 to 1996 and dealt with so much bullshit from the men who served if I didnt f*** them I was a dyke or something if I didn't. I am serving now in the Army National Guard 11 years later and let me tell you, it hasn't gotten any better. How about Tmineff you say thats why men with those arrogant beliefs shouldn't serve instead of saying thats why women shouldn't serve. this is about serving our country with pride. Let these men show that.

[wobv33]

pura carreta

[Tmineff]

And that is why, women shouldnt be in the military.

[darksita7]

[Rummelhart]

Men rape each other. They rape kids. They'll rape a chicken if they can catch it (this is why E-6's on Fort Lewis in the '70's were called "chickenf-ckers." So... to take your argument to its conclusion: we should lock all men up in a small room and only let them out on a leash? Who would buy all the beer and sports t-shirts?

[spellmeyerbecca]

There are false reports in the civilian world to. What makes military rape worse is that it is being committed by those that are protecting our country. Imagine being raped by your best friend and because you told the truth you are kicked out of your hometown. That is what it was like for me me when I was raped at Ft. Polk LA at the 115th Field Hospital. My rapists stayed in the company and went to Iraq. I came home and am speaking out. If you want the whole story e-mail me.

[skindred2000]

question....what about the hundreds of false rape reports in the military made by vindictive little girls tryin to get back at some guy that made them mad....dnt be so naive to belive everything you hear people...yes there are some bad seeds in the military young boys who were not raised right and raised to disrespect women...but there also manipulative little girls who play guys like fiddles to get what they want....just becuase they say the guy raped her doesnt make it true...think about it

[smallrevolutions]

It continues on at the V.A. medical centers. Raping women while under anesthesia by male techs, CNAs, other patients, doctors. Now it seems Hep 2 is being transfered in the process.

[uniquecal22]

THe Stats dont lie. SO typical for some one to blame the victim. So many angry & in compassionate people have that perspective. That it why many women dont speak up. 1 and 4.Just because rape exist & will exist doesnt mean it is acceptable. It is still a crime & should still have its consequences whether you are serving the country r not. How can you upon & revere our nation while raping it at the same still. Im DISGUSTED & APALLED @ the lack of compassion & support from some of these comments.

[ihaveissues20]

Just for the record, we're not all like that. The majority of us would never do such horrible things. It takes the horrible actions of a select few soldiers to fuck up the reputation of the entire military.

[darksita7]

they aren't just women haters....trust me...you wouldn't even believe how normal they act and how many of them get away with it and are still in the military

[incubusrsnnglyp]

well what do you expect. the dumb kind of men made war, most of them hate women, and just want sex from them, dont like them. why is it so shocking that they think they can get away with bull crap. women wake up any guy that disrespects you in anyway, or ask for any sexual crap, doesnt like you, just wants to use you. its sad but true. I'm glad I dont like sex, I have been with my boyfriend for 6 years, never has he asked me for sex, he is a good person. if he would ask he would go bye bye.

[ChristianPeper]

This video really hit home for me. I was stalked and harassed by US Army recruiters for being an independent journalist. (See videos) The abuse in the US Army is starting to spill over onto the civilian population. The US Army thinks that they can bully around the US Population with no consequences.

[incubusrsnnglyp]

there are more good men. but there are the women haters as well, they scare, both men, and women. they are responsible for the bull crap that happens. we as the people need to stand up, and change the world.

[nobru07]

do you have the date of the broadcast ?

[freeman1947]

this is great. these women have the courage to speak up.

doug yelmen

[lovuian]

This is horrible
