women in the military

[mollymp]

ok so im a little shocked and outraged i was going to enlist in the airforce when i turned 18 it seemed like the thing to do at the time but i got caught up in life and what not, but my best friend joined the army and my little sister joined the army also. my best friend has been in for almost three years already and my little sister has been in for almost a year neither of them are recieving fair treatment. the men for the most part (not all mind you) but they are rude and constantly make snide comments. my sister was raped this past spring by a man in her unit and it took calls from my mother to my sisters co and chaplain to finally get her moved into a different unit away from the man who raped her until the investigation is finished. this happened back in april and they are just moving her next week!!?? this is wrong.

that's horrible     ...my condolences.
i can't imagine how she's coping with that, being
so far from home and having to SEE him every day.

one of my college roommates, before i knew her,
had the exact same thing happen to her sister
who was also in the army.

i'm not sure what happened to the man, but it shook her
enough to immediately start her discharge process.
i would bet, that whatever happened, it wasn't enough.
(it never is).

...i really hope your family is granted justice in this situation
