Hey XX, I appreciate you respecting my position, as I in turn respect yours. However, I can not help but have little faith in a military system which claims to uphold our values and rights under the constitution but then violates these important things at every turn. I guess I should stress that I pray for all those individuals who have/are now serving in combat and putting their life on the line, many of them young, many not knowing what they were really in for when they signed up. But as a whole you must understand that military personel would not inflict those things on other people if our military leaders made it clear that sexual harassment, etc would not be tolerated to begin with - its got to be more than a piece of paper you sign at the recruiting station - where we all know the lies and bullshit really begin. Furthermore, I post my opinions about the Army everywhere - not just here- I want my message to get out, change is not possible if issues are not dealt with head on. So I empathize little with those ppl who still want to make light of problems in the military.
