Well, if by some miracle he did see that connection then he'd have to acknowledge his whole platform is about controlling others and not 'morality'. Fundraising would suffer, he'd no longer be invited as an expert of hate. Yeah, never happening.<br /><br />This is my experience with the military and rape. My late husband faced his would be rapers (he said there were three of them) and used skills taught to him by the Marines. For this faux pas (I guess he was supposed to just take it) he was given a dishonorable discharge. Well not just hitting a superior officer and his goons but also escaping from their brand new "escape proof" brig. <br /><br />What made him be singled out for such treatment? One - he was really good at being a Marine. Second, he followed the Gods of his ancestors (Asatru -specifically Thor). He was an awesome Viking. I guess the Dominionists wanted him to be a warrior for Christ and he said no.<br /><br />I'm glad for many things; that those who've been raped have improved reporting and support systems and that there is light shed on the shady practices of the Dominionists.<br /><br />ConnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-88245940577659168542014-12-08T08:11:08.804-08:002014-12-08T08:11:08.804-08:00"Fewer people see the military as a 'good..."Fewer people see the military as a 'good choice' for their future."<br /><br />- Could it be because we are still engaged in military conflicts in hostile foreign countries with no clear objectives? Could it be because of the ongoing crisis in medical and rehabilitative care for veterans?<br /><br />Naw, its gotta be the repeal of DADT.Dr. Shrinkernoreply@blogger.com
