Treatment of Women in the U.S. Military - Part 1 - Video PSA

Permission to publish from josh at snowshoefilms.com; Producer: snowshoefilms; Production Company: snowshoefilms. Contact Information: www.snowshoefilms.com. Year: 2002. DOROTHY MACKEY: SURVIVORS TAKE ACTION AGAINST ABUSE BY U.S. MILITARY PERSONNEL (STAAAMP) A former U.S. Air Force captain, Dorothy Mackey explains that rape is integral to the military. She explains the military's systematic training to abuse and accept abuse, the programmatic decreasing of self-awareness that constitutes perhaps the most important part of basic training in which malleable youths are indoctrinated to think of themselves as expendable. They're also taught, she reveals (or reminds us) to have contempt for civilians, those people who fail to understand the sacrifices being made on their behalf. Mackey also touches on the CIA's Paperclip Project which secreted some 1,600 World War II Nazi scientists and eugenicists into key positions in the military, universities and weapons development (nuclear, chemical biological, mind control). This interview was conducted at the Nov. 2002 SOA Watch (www.soawatch.org) protest at Ft. Benning, GA.

I hope to God this not true and that this is a sick joke...

because my wife has been an active duty for 2 years and she's never told me about this?

[mavagama]

I feel really sorry for her, my boyfriend is in the army and he has awared me of all this.. how nasty some soldiers are, he's happy he's finishing his period of time pretty soon.. I wonder thou, WHY this woman after she was raped she decided to stay in the us army? i mean 9 years??? that's like hell..

The military is a bunch of white trash, spics and niggers. Total low class

[mizzoulibertarian]

@angelcakebby24 don't all this stuff about joining the military is propaganda. you will understand when you are older

[cleandiaper]

@Beesnchickens You're right about that. "We" are the enemy.

[screamintrashcan]

She was a Senior Captain... Yeah, RIF'd for not being capable of promotion, In other words, lousy officer with an axe to grind. She oughtta go look for a job she could handle, she sounds like a capable prison guard, maybe...

[Beesnchickens]

If you do not wish to be raped by fellow soldiers then do not enlist in the US military. Scum of the earth seeks out and resides within "military service".

[SmoothdaHustla]

Yeah right, I served under her, fucking douchebag and a liar. She didn't mention the other times she got drunk and cried wolf.

[ventella1978]

There are a lot of inconsistencies with her story. I am not saying that this could not happen but the post IG sexually assaulting her for a year. This seems more like anti military propaganda so she can make a buck. Rape happens in the military it is wrong and we try to stop it, but there is absolutly not condoned and applauded as she would have you think.

Lying propaganda. You are probably in more danger on any college campus than in the military. I'm a retired service member, as is my wife. Bases have dorms full of young people ... sometimes with alcohol .. If you are a rapist, you might be able to join the service, but with that kind of character, you won't likely last too long. I've sent a few packin' for a lot less.
