Based on estimates from the Department of Defense, 19,000 servicemen and women were sexually attacked or raped in 2010; however, a vast majority of those violent acts don’t get reported because in the military, victims are required to report within their chain of command.

As such, only eight-percent are brought to justice. Defending itself in civilian court in 2011, the Pentagon argued that sexual assault is an “occupational hazard” in the military.

Imagine if this vid was 'Iraqi Troops Celebrate Ramadan in U.S.A."

End the occupations. Stop wasting our taxdollars on foreign invasions. Stop telling us they are "over THERE protecting our freedoms HERE" which doesn't make sense. Cut funding to the Pentagon and C.I.A. operating as a shadow government. Cut the welfare and the warfare to make these lifelong government employees people we have to take care of with our taxes and wasteful spending.

When you whine your way out the YouTube door........Don't slam it!

That was actually a very good point. Touche. However the 2nd Amendment is the "teeth" of the Bill of Rights. If my government wanted to get anymore "tyrannical", as you might put it, it would have much more of a problem than Libya is having right now.

I dont think my government is too bad at the moment. If this gun bill passes in the form that Feinstein has currently written it, I think ill have to rethink my position on 'freedom' in the USA.

BTW the 2nd Amendment isnt an agenda its a right :)

[robin gething]

Your arguments are agenda driven. You have already had most of your rights taken away from you with the patriot act. we did not see an uprising. looks like you owning your guns does nothing to stop tyranny.

[EmpathyWorks]

If agenda, is defined as "historic fact", I guess you could say that none of us have a choice whether we "take it" with us or not bud.
