Please forgive this short diary. I am not very good at writing long essays. I am not sure that this has been discussed here before but I felt that we need to talk about this epidemic: the rapes and murders of our female soldiers and contractors by their male counterparts. This makes me sick to my stomach. And for the most part is not getting a lot of coverage by the media.
Many female soldiers are being raped and murdered by other soldiers and are being ignored by the pentagon and the Bush administration. This makes me sick to my stomach. Who is going to speak for these victims? Who’s going to take care of them? Can we let those crimes go unpunished? What have become as a society? Can we talk about this please?
