It is just possible the administration is right and Taranto
is right about General Helms and Captain Herrera.
It is just possible Senator McCaskill is playing to her
feminist constituency and the current wave of outrage against sexual assault and
rape in the military.
As you recall, the military is almost entirely made up of
adolescents and young adults in very good health and fine physical condition, still
driven almost as mad by their hormones as younger teens and still plagued with
brains not quite fully formed, or only recently knit together.
For as long as there have been armies there have been
military towns with an exceptional quota of sex workers of all kinds and
exceptional levels of the kinds of violent crime and generally irresponsible
and damaging behavior common among males of that age, and especially common
where they gather in large concentrations.
And for that long sensible folks have warned their girls to
stay away.
Joining the service, oneself, is the opposite of staying
away.
The increase in the number of women in close proximity to
all those hormone crazed young males has resulted in an totally predictable,
totally predicted rise in sexual predation.
Throw lambs to wolves, why don’t you, and then blame the
wolves?
Well, yes, of course it’s their fault.
But what about you, you bloody moron?
Oh, given the details of the situation and that Helms was right
that the prosecution had not made its case, why didn’t the Captain get to stay
in the service?
Why was he forced to plead to a lesser charge that would
also have been deserved only if the original charge stuck?
And why is there no way to punish women who falsely accuse
men and ruin their careers?
