Official: Reports of Sex Assault in Navy Increase [W:68]

Re: Official: Reports of Sex Assault in Navy Increase

What I can gather from this thread is that those who very publicly announce their military ties are the stupidest members of this forum and need their inflated egos popped.
It might mean wee loved our military career and are saddened by what has happened to the Navy for the sake of Liberals like you and your PC who have probably never served in the military or ever will.

You poor selfish thing. It must be a great blow for women and gays to be your equal. Maybe you should build a time machine and go back to whatever era does your ego justice.
 
Re: Official: Reports of Sex Assault in Navy Increase

Since reporting is the way that sexual assaults are known about, then yes, reporting went up. And no, there is not a bigger sexual assault issue compared to either the rest of the country, nor even to the past, particularly prior to DADT being repealed. It is really a matter of looking at all the information instead of just that which fits with what people want. And that goes for whether you are trying to blame gays for committing more sexual assaults now that they can serve openly, blame women on ships for someone sexually assaulting them, mainly in port, or trying to claim that the military is some breeding ground for sexual assaults unseen by the rest of the country or world or any other work place.
So your contention is that male on male sexual assaults increasing since 2010, which conveniently coincides with the repeal of DADT, is the result of more reporting? I don't believe that at all. I'm sorry to make this generalization about your branch of service, but being gay in the Navy does not have the stigma attached to it that it does in the Marine Corps and most parts of the Army. It just doesn't. Being gay in these testosterone driven environments is not viewed as okay nor is it something that happens a lot. So, with that being said, a Marine actually reporting that not only was he sexually assaulted but that it was perpetrated by a man is almost inconceivable. Reporting hasn't gone up. It's still viewed as weak. For this many more incidents to be reported means that a lot more of them are happening.
 
Re: Official: Reports of Sex Assault in Navy Increase

I would expect a spanking new carrier would look clean. It probably had that new carrier smell didn't it ?

Just like when you buy a new car.

Except a new car has not been floating for 4 years in seawater when it it is finally rolled out to the new owner. I had not time at sea prior to commissioning than I did in the first year afterwards. Sea trials are a lengthy process.

I admit, being that she was only 7years old when I was "gonged" ashore, I am sure she had a leg up on the others of the fleet. But I cannot imagine her going downhill so fast as to fall below the NIMITZ.

I want you to concentrate like a laser beam my left wing friend. I am not talking about the women or Gays (don't know where that came from) I am talking about far out PC lefties like YOU who are ruining this country!!!!

SEMPER FI!! my friend that is it exactly.
 
I told all you "feel Good" Liberals a long time ago that women serving on Navy combatants at sea would never work...
.Its really the tip of the iceberg.



Official: Reports of Sex Assault in Navy Increase - ABC News









NORFOLK, Va. September 11, 2013 (AP)

By BROCK VERGAKIS Associated Press




Associated Press



The number of sexual assaults reported to the Navy has grown by about 50 percent in the past year, which Navy officials said Wednesday is a sign that a growing number of sailors feel more comfortable reporting an assault and believe something will be done about it when they do.

The Navy said it is on pace to end the 2013 fiscal year later this month with about 1,100 reports of sexual assault. That's up from the 726 sexual assaults reported in the previous fiscal year




I don't believe that many of these assaults were committed by women.

Re: Official: Reports of Sex Assault in Navy Increase

Sorry NP....as much as you love to claim that I hate the military, you couldn't be more wrong (what else is new). True....I didn't personally serve in the military, but you don't have to serve in the military to respect and honor the military (as much as you love to play that tired line as well). I come from a long line of military family. My Father served in the Navy during WW2. It was probably because of that that I DIDN'T serve. See....my father loved the Navy, it gave him a life that he didn't otherwise have. But unlike you, my father actually saw combat during ww2 and saw the atrocities of war. Although he respected the military, he provided a life for me that allowed me to go to college and obtain a degree without having to go into the military. This was during the 80's where we were facing the very real possibility of ending up in a war in the middle east.


The reality is, NP, you don't like the fact that women serve in the military. You don't like the fact that gays can now serve in the military. You are a stubborn old man that would prefer to keep things the way the world existed back in the 50's. Sorry...but the world evolves and the bigotry of the past is getting left behind, despite your attempts to make excuses and project blame in all the wrong places.



You hate it...No matter how much you deny it that does not change the fact it is true. I don't know if your old enough but if you were you are exactly the kind of person who spit and insult our military on heir return from Viet Nam
 
Re: Official: Reports of Sex Assault in Navy Increase

What this part? lol

I don't think it has as much to do with the stigma as it does to do with the type of job performed. Gay men, of which I know several and call them my friends, are normally (complete generalization here, deal with it!), again... Normally NOT inclined to pressure jobs that are "testosterone" based. Are there? Without question... But if you were to survey 1000 riflemen and 1000 electricians, I would bet my paycheck that the numbers would be heavily skewed.

The Navy, by and large, is comprised of Tradesmen. As is the USAF. The Army is as well, when you look at the numbers of support personnel vs line troops, but are still trained to be fighters on a level that most Ssilors and Airmen never reach. The Msrines see a completely different story. Every Marine is a rifleman, as they say. It is only logical that homosexual men would be less inclined to join the heavily testosterone laden Marine Corps.

Lies and deceit.....should I be surprized to expect more from you? You couldn't be more wrong. I don't hate the military at all, in fact, I have several friends who served in the military and I completely respect them. I have neices and nephews that are in the military right now, including a nephew who is currently serving his 3rd tour in Afghanistan....so sorry, NP wrong again....but what else is new, right?
 
Re: Official: Reports of Sex Assault in Navy Increase

No, I was on the Lincoln.

And I don't care what some old guy has to say. It doesn't make him or you correct in those opinions. It is extremely common for most older people to think that things were better in the past, when they served, or where they were before.

And OMG, you mean allowing us to get good sleep is such an issue that it must be decreasing our effectiveness? What in the heck are you smoking?

I've known thousands of sailors in my life time and learned a sailor loves his ship or boat and looks upon it as the best of any in the fleet, doesn't matter if it's was an Obama class garbage scow or an Iowa class BB.

I have a friend that thinks exactly as you. He is so hung up on the Liberal crap that he can not see the forest for the trees. Because I had a great military career and loved the Navy and my country makes me selfish in your slanted mind. OK

No...what makes your type "selfish" Navy, is that you cannot stomach the idea that a woman or a gay person or minority for that matter is entitled to the same things in life as an old angry white guy.
 
Re: Official: Reports of Sex Assault in Navy Increase

No...you are making excuses for the guys who don't have enough in their big head that they get controlled by their little head. The fact that the vast majority of those in the military are mature and able enough to control themselves shouldn't be overriden by a handful of numbskulls who shouldn't have been in the military in the first place.

Kind of funny since it's always the liberals who force the military services to lower their enlistment standards in the name of political correctness.

Liberal crap? like... sexual assault being the fault of the attacker and no one else?... really you're stretching the limits of coherence here.

Yes selfish, you think the U.S. should cater to your traditional beliefs. Why is your life worth more than others? Why are your needs more important than others?

I have not mentioned gays or minorities in this whole thread...That is your MO. The only people I mentioned are lefties like you who run their mouth in the name of PC and know clue what goes on in the Navy on a ship at sea.

You don't have to mention them Navy, you have a history of posts that anyone who has been on this site for any period of time knows about. The reality is....your anger at "liberals" is based on the fact that "liberals" have put women, gays and minorities on the same level playing surface as white males....and you have a hard time stomaching that.
