This is the military's dirty little worst-kept secret. Male soldiers rape female soldiers; always have, always will. And the victims have no voice.

if they do this to their own soldiers and war buddies, imagine the horrors muslims have to go through

Important video, the issue needs to be given to a civilian organization.

I tend to agree with your priorities as unpopular as they are. The general treatment of women within the US military ought to be a fair indication about the inability of US soldiers to win over hearts and minds in any situation. The army is composed mainly of young men who are excited about traveling to distant lands where they get to break things and the recruiters are lowering the minimum qualifications all the time.

Why is it that this story is covered better outside the US MSM like Aljazeera, BBC, and the CBC? When the Abu Ghraib story first broke, Karpinski was set up as the scapegoat and yet the more she speaks about Iraq, the better she sounds as though she was put into an impossible to manage situation with no authority to stop the abuses within the military prisons.

I'm not really concerned about american women soldiers since they choose to be in the army, i'm more worried what these american soldiers will do and are doing against muslim women in iraq.
