I read it in the news. Piece of scum killed himself, everyone who helped him should too. The army having this issue isn't anything new. This disregard for women's lives isn't anything new. Did you read the story about homeland security getting several "services" from trafficked Asian women in massage parlors to "save them" only to throw out the entire case because they refused to name the two officers involved? You're not alone.

Just when I thought I couldn’t be more shocked and disgusted. How absolutely vile. I hope those women find safety, true safety and those men get revealed. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain they must be going through.

I saw YouTube comments of someone saying the “Commanding SgtMaj killed himself too but we cant find him”. Thought it was a troll since the comment got deleted within an hour... but then so did the Army's Chain of Command profile page of him so the whole thing seems deeper than they're letting on.

Thank you, I’m glad to hear there are other’s that have had enough.

Last month, a story broke about a bunch of sailor stationed in bahrain trafficking Thai women in and keeping them captive and prostituting them out. There has always been a link between military and rape - I think Slavery, Inc. by Lydia Cacho has a really solid chapter on it (if I'm remembering correctly).

Sad to hear. The military for sure, not just within itself but also as an act of war and control. I read in the news that those brave, brave Kurdish women soldiers keep an extra bullet in case they're captured. Shame on the US for leaving them.
