NOT WORTH IT!! !

Post Reply New Topic

If anyone here is considering a career in military, think again. I watched a documentary about rape in the military. It was HORRIBLE! These women were treated as though they were the perpetrators by the military authorities. Most were not even believed - even after obvious injuries - broken jaws, spine damage, hip damage - all from brutal rape. WOMEN SHOULD STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE MILITARY. The statistics were incredibly high. It was ridiculous.
Ladies, it REALLY, REALLY, REALLY isn't worth it.

I've heard before that military-men are generally more obsessed with sex than civilians for some reason.

RightGalaxy, having done four years in naval intelligence in the early eighties--long before I had ever heard of AS--I would go one step further and say the military is no place for aspies.

As with the police, the military tends to attract macho-type men who value violence and rough behavior. These men are young, and I suspect they have higher than average levels of testosterone. Putting an attractive woman into this situation is like putting a cat into a pen full of pit bulls, especially while out at sea or on exercises where there are no other women. I went for as long as four months without seeing a woman. Fortunately for me, I'm not particularly over-sexed. But a lot of sailors I knew were. So, they take the women available rather than women for whom such arrangements would be consensual.

I'm guessing this is the reason women haven't served in the military until recently, as well as the reason why nerdy-type aspies are out of place.

Hmm, I can't say from firsthand experience but I've heard similar stories and I know that my friend's aunt got raped in the military and after she left she became an alcoholic.

Everyone of all genders should stay out of the military.

That’ll only be possible if we get rid of countries and borders. And then, we’d still need to be ready to repel an alien invasion

But what if the aliens end up being peaceful.

What if they don't?

That documentary made me so grateful I didn't join the Air Force when I was 18. So grateful.

Back on topic, the Army officers at Roswell must have done such a poor job of covering up the crash because they were preoccupied with getting laid.

I think the topic was rape, not "getting laid".

The guy that the Air Force put in charge of reducing rape and harassment, just got charged with sexual assault. So it may be fair to say that the upper 'brass' still don't get it.

I would never willingly go into the military and this is another good reason not to.

I considered a career in the military for a while, but then I came to know that they will never choose me for the military because I have ADHD and ODD (they don't choose defiant people or people that can't/don't want to follow directions).

Ahw well. Not so bad evidently.
