David-

Calm down... you're hyperventilating.  You're constant hyperbole makes
sure that people continue to ignore the anti-war movement.

Tammy-

How do you know I was never in the service?  By all means, contact the
NPSC and verify that I was.  In fact, I even mention in the article
how I came to be in the service, and why I didn't end up going active
duty.

And for the record, as an officer, I wouldn't put up with any of my
men raping a woman.

Less than 6 months hardly makes your case study representative.  Sure,
it happens, and once is more than it should, but characterizing the
entire military based on the experiences of some is patent bigotry.

About one third of black men are in jail for felonies... we don't go
around calling all black men felons, now do we?

I've also talked to several women who have served, and they simply
don't know where these claims come from because they never saw it and
know of no one it happend to. Some of these women served in combat
areas as well.
