Has anyone else completely lost faith in the military?

The best commander in the world cant prevent a drunk sailor form getting overly horny and making a really bad decision. They cant follow them around all night.

I dont get why the military gets selective bashing on this.

Some may think they need to be held at a higher standard but they are still people, as are civilians.

Do you think the military is being unfairly singled out? Was Penn St also selectively bashed?

Of course sexual abuse is not a military issue alone, but they are clearly on the forefront right now as far as how not to handle this type of thing in the workplace.

They are on the forefront because the media chose to put them there.
Did the media make you aware of this or did multiple plantiffs call you up?
And they have been forced into a much more delicate situation regarding all this because our PC congress said they have to.

Blah blah blame it on the media.

If the military had their shit in order they wouldn't be in the news.

I'm not blaming it on the media, nor did I say that or imply that.
C'mon Matthew, I thought you were bigger than that.
This kind of thing happens across the board.
You're currently bashing the military because its currently the popular thing to do.
No entity in America has their shit in order regarding this.

What?

You just said it's an issue because the media is making it one. Sounds like blaming the media to me. Maybe you should be more clear with what you're saying or implying.

I'm not bashing the military because its "popular", I'm bashing them because they dropped the ball big time. Just like Penn St. and plenty of others.

Is this just a non story to you? I'm really not understanding what we're even going back and forth about.

I am blaming the media.
For hyping it.
Its an issue across the board. The ball is dropped everywhere.
So yes, it should be a non story because they are singling out the military.
Is today the military's turn to get beat up over it?
When do we bash other entity's that have have this issue.
Because all of the private sectors do.

And as I stated before - its harder to control in the military because >>> see all the stuff I have already posted above.

Singled out my ass. This isn't some mom and pop operation it's the f'ing military. Big organization + big scandal = big news. C'mon man.

Was Penn St singled out?

A lot of rapists outside the military are convicted regularly.
So your point is crap.
And I will reiterate that the media put them in the forefront.
So your view of what the "forefront" is, is what cccn.com TELLS you it should be.
You fall in line nicely.....

I dont doubt that it happened nor do I doubt that charges are being filed.
I also dont doubt that its a poplular topic because the media chose to make it popular.
Some of you are just bashing the military because you are eating what they are feeding you.

Yes I agree this issue is bad...its bad in the military.
Its also worse in the private sector.
So why single out the military?
