1 in 3 FEMALE american soldiers are raped!!

And you're sexist. Why shouldn't a women serve in the Army? This is the type of logic that leads to things like women being forced to wear Burkha/not drive because men apparently have some uncontrollable rape/sexual assault urge. If a women wants to serve in the Army and understands the risks, why shouldn't she? It's like going to South Africa. There's many rapes happen but if you understand that and just attempt to be safe then what's the problem? Some people don't value safety very much i.e. those into extreme sports but that doesn't mean they're doing anything wrong.

They might understand the risks, but that doesn't mean it doesn't ruin their lives when it happens... It is very difficult to do anything about when they are off fighting in far away lands. It will almost always come down to the woman's word v the mans. I think we all know the burkha logic is retarded.

And that applies to normal rapes as well hence why we have low conviction rates.

I don't see how it's retarded. "O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful." 33:59 - Tasfir (interpretation by early scholars); O Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks closely over themselves (jalābīb is the plural of jilbāb, which is a wrap that covers a woman totally) — in other words, let them pull part of it [also] over their faces, leaving one eye [visible], when they need to leave [the house] for something. That makes it likelier that they will be known, to be free women, and not be molested, by being approached. In contrast, slavegirls did not use to cover their faces and so the disbelievers used to pester them. And God is Forgiving, of any occasion in the past when they may have neglected to cover themselves, Merciful, to them in His veiling them. and "If she was in her room, in her home, in her Hijab, no problem would have occurred." - Chief Mufti of Australia.

As you can see, in response to molestation/rape/sexual assault Allah forces women to cover up. What's the difference between that and us forcing women to not enter the army in response to molestation/rape/sexual assault?

They aren't always fighting, as soon as it happens it should be reported and a rape kit should be done and a investigation should take place as would've happened if another heinous crime would've been committed.

Yeah but the odds are much lower in our civilised society. Covering up back then probably made sense, but doesn't any more. I know it's a trade off, but I don't think you're factoring in just how low the entry requirements for the American military are... It would make more sense just to have all female regiments.

1 in 3 women. There aren't as many women as men in the army, already reducing this statistic to a smaller scale. I doubt they've asked every woman in the US army whether they've been raped or not, and found this figure to be near to or exactly one third.

Maybe 1 in 3 women who were asked, and were only asked because the askers thought they would have been raped due to individual circumstances, have been, and the rest (the overwhelming majority which is probably 90%+ who have not been asked) have not been raped. The sample size is not big enough to warrant a massive outcry.

While 1in3 is almost definitely a massive exaggeration, it's long been true that there's a violent bullying problem with the US Armed Forces and the US Army particularly. Sad, wrong and disappointing, but what are a bunch of students 3000miles away supposed to do about it?

Why do women even agree to join the army?

Make a 30 minute long video simplifying a very complex issue, encouraging people to throw money at a problem and assume that in doing so, all the issues will be resolved?

So your logic is...

..Women shouldn't join the army, because men can't keep it in their pants?




What has wearing a piece of cloth have to do with men not being able to control their sexual desires?

So if you know there's a serious risk of you being raped, you would join the army anyway?

If 30 women in the army are asked whether they have been raped, due to individual circumstances which have been observed by the askers, that make their rape more likely such as male bullying, and 10 of them say yes, then yes 1 in 3 of those women have been raped.

Take all of the women of the US army and ask them whether they have been raped, the statistic is going to be much lower. Perhaps only those 30 from before have been raped, making it 30 out of x-thousand. Or it could be 100 out of x-thousand, not making 1 in 3.

Definitively ask every women in the US army whether they have been raped, and if 1 in 3 of them say yes, then I'm wrong; I won't be. There's no way that this is representative of every woman in the US army; it's obvious not even 1% have been asked. Get some understanding.

Russia Today =/= reliable source, especially when reporting on American matters.
