Women in the US Army

76
In action movies, we used to see how beautiful ladies in high heels and with a deep cleavage drench the bad guys with packs. In reality, of course, everything is different. They are dressed not in what favorably emphasizes the figure, but in what is required by the statute. They may be missing styling and makeup, but they know how to handle weapons. They can smell not expensive perfume, and then gun oil. But they are real.

    When male soldiers rape other men - their own colleagues, everyone prefers to keep silent about this topic, writes Newsweek. Still, the topic of rape of men in the army is now coming to light, notes journalist Jess Ellison.

    Soon after immigration to America, Greg Zheludov, then 35 years old, decided to go to serve in the American army. “Like most military personnel, he was guided by both patriotic feelings for his new homeland and pragmatic considerations that service would be the first step to a career that would help him provide for his family.

    “However, when Zheludov arrived in Fort Benning, Georgia in May 2009, an economic crisis flared up and xenophobia intensified. Because of his Russian accent and New York address, his military colleagues called him a“ champagne socialist ”and“ fagot -Communist. "Less than two weeks after his arrival, he was gang-raped in the barracks by men who said they were showing him who the boss was in the US. When he complained to the unit's command, he was told:" Probably, you yourself are to blame. Perhaps you provoked them, "the article says.

    For the military, male sexual abuse of men is an ugly secret that the authorities deny, and shameful victims. Meanwhile, last year, the US Department of Service Veterans identified nearly 50 male veterans who had experienced "sexual trauma in the military." In 2003, this figure was just over 30 thousand.

    The frequency of rape against female soldiers - now for a woman who is serving in the US Army, the likelihood of a co-worker attacking is higher than the probability of dying in battle - has attracted attention to the rape of men.

    Meanwhile, for a long time in the history of the US Army, there were no terms denoting sexual violence against colleagues, nor a system to deal with such incidents. “Only in 1992 did the Pentagon generally admit that such incidents took place, and initially only women were recognized as victims. But last year more than 110 men - almost 3 times more than in 2007 - confidentially declared that they had been raped by others The true number of victims is definitely much higher, "the author writes, explaining that even among civilians, a large number of rapes are not reported to the police. According to the Pentagon itself, even in the case of female military personnel, apparently less than 20% of the actual number of rapes is recorded.

    One might assume that the rape is committed by hidden homosexuals, but experts believe that most rapists against co-workers are heterosexual. "As in prisons and other male communities, in the army, sexual violence against other men is not a sign of homosexual orientation, but a desire for power, intimidation and domination," the author writes. The victims are usually the most vulnerable - young men and low-ranking women. "The purpose of rape is not sex, but violence," explains Mick Hunter, author of Honor Betrayed: Sexual Crime in the American Army.

    "In February, Zheludov and 16 other retired and active military personnel filed a class action suit against US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and his predecessor Donald Rumsfeld, accusing them of" leading institutions where criminals were promoted /.../, and plaintiffs and other victims were exposed open measures of retaliation, "- the newspaper reports. Since statements about such crimes are dealt with not by the police, but by the command, then, according to the Pentagon itself, last year only 15% of the statements were brought to justice. Often commanders do not take no measures so as not to be fined by their own superiors.

    But inaction means that there can be more victims. Jamie Michael Harding claims that at age 17 he was repeatedly raped by a sergeant in a training camp. Harding tried to complain, but the statement was ignored. The sergeant rose to the rank of officer and resigned. Almost 20 years later, this man was arrested for the numerous rapes of underage cadets, pleaded guilty and is now in prison. Harding suffers from mental problems, which he says are the consequences of rape.

    Meanwhile, the Pentagon is only now developing methods for the psychological rehabilitation of male soldiers who have been sexually abused. In the USA there is only one center for their treatment. Meanwhile, in order to receive full benefits in connection with the physical and psychological consequences of sexual violence, veterans must first prove that the incident took place.

    The author returns to the fate of Zheludov. “Soon after the attack, when the rapists threatened to send him 'back to Russia in half,' the commander told him to sign a document stating that he was a practicing homosexual. Then Zheludov was fired from the army in accordance with the law prohibiting open homosexuals from serving in the army. his wife left him, he is out of work and suffers from emotional problems. Doctors prescribed him a dozen psychotropic drugs for post-traumatic stress, insomnia and depression, "the newspaper writes. Zheludov's veteran benefits are scanty compared to the full set - that's why he is so eager to prove the fact of rape.

      It’s my fault. I couldn’t put myself in the team, I got to complain to the minister. He opened the bakery. And besides, he officially recognized himself as a pederast. You can’t join the army at the age of 35. He would have served us as it should in 1995 (judging by age), he would have put all of Fort Benning into cancer.

          My brother (lieutenant colonel) spoke with the military from the USA, so their hazing is fixed in the charter! Bullying is cleaner than ours, the sergeant in the barracks is the king and God can do anything. The military police only in the films they follow everything and controls everything but in reality. With them I would not want to serve! Equipped, yes, you will not say anything, but the orders in the units ...

            hazing is enshrined in the charter!

            By the way, this hazing is very widespread in US military schools. Cadets of the first semester (in the army slang - “rat line”) are tested for strength using barbaric methods. For example, in one of the oldest universities, the Virginia Military Engineering Institute, the absolute and unconditional submission of “rats” (first-year cadets) to all senior students who are sophisticated in inventing ridiculous and savage assignments for them is practiced. Those who rebel, waiting for the most outright beating buckle uniform belts. Moreover, the command relates this savagery among the "glorious" traditions of the institute, recently celebrated the 160th anniversary. However, similar "traditions" exist at West Point, Annapolis, and other US military academies. And even more so in the army. They periodically lead to retaliatory bloody actions of those who are bullied.

        in fact, such "excuses", such as "it was my own fault", "I could not put myself", etc., are mainly used only in prisons ... as for the us army, judging by the publications, the contingent of military personnel differs little from prison contingent - a large number of people with criminal inclinations and outright bandits go to the army ... hence the results ..

    I can understand the situation when there is a war to destroy the nation and women, on equal terms with men, are defending the right to life of their people. I can understand when women serve in auxiliary units, sometimes they can’t do without them. But I don’t understand the principle of using women in combat units This is not right. A woman is primarily a mother, or a future mother, and they don’t need to do heavy, dirty and deadly male work. This is a cruel perversion.

      - I agree, but emancipation sad
      And women voluntarily go there, to engage in unnatural business for themselves.
      Our women during World War II from spiritual trauma were saved only by hatred of the enemy - almost all of their relatives lost from the Nazis.
      And when a woman does this without hatred, with cold calculation, it kills her and makes her not a woman, but a man with boobs. Well, her choice, many write here that since they are not women, their conscience is clear. You can agree.
      By the way, in Israel, in my opinion, it’s going to refuse to use women in direct battles. In auxiliary units, in UAV control, etc. - Yes, they will use it, but in a meat grinder - no longer. After all, there are good reasons for this?

    A woman in the army and navy is an atavism .... (if, for example, she is not a telegraph operator, a staff worker, a supplier) ..... all this badyag in the American army with the invasion of women in the army is simply explained - the bulk of these are Latinos and negroids from the poorest strata of society, plus the notorious feminism, a stupid desire to prove that they are supposedly not the weaker sex and can do everything too (well, just like the question of "squirrels" behind the wheel) .....
    ... and more ..... the fact that the US army is internally decomposed worse than the Russian one is served by facts and permissions from the army, and crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq .......
    Conclusion, the female affair-kirchen, kinder, kyuchen .......

    No, honestly, guys, but women in the army do not have to serve well as much as possible in the medical forces. I feel sorry for them. You understand that if a colleague has worn out, they will conceal this and if a soldier’s woman, news will be passed on all the troops.

    Take care of your sisters, daughters, dear men. There was one incident here in my life. In 1978 I was 18 years old. My friend died in Afghanistan. I went to the military registration and enlistment office to sign up for the war. In the yard, an elderly janitor was sweeping, seeing me, he asked: "Girl, what do you want here?"
    - I’ve come to sign up for volunteers. To which he answered me:
    “Until no one in the squad saw you, go away, otherwise I’ll drive you off with a broom. Getting married, having children is the best thing you can do for your homeland.
    And, most likely, he was right. I still recall this incident. It's a shame, of course, but there's nothing to be done.

    Women are hardworking and executive (sometimes outrageously), but lack the characteristic of men to submit to a stronger one (leader, commander). They are always on their own, initially competitors are one another.
    Many positions in the army are within their power, but making thugs of them is unnatural. Although this does not stop the Americans: the more meat in the army (M or F or some kind of homo), the better for the army. If a lot of women appear in the US Army, this does not mean their total emancipation (this is more a trademark, not a term), but about obvious problems in the labor market, because women, in principle, do not tend to push ahead to achieve their goal. Equipped with many ext. opportunities for this.
    Plus, after the reorganization, the US army did not deal with a serious adversary on equal terms (without bribery, blackmail, threats, etc.), and it is not known how their "collective" works in this case.

    Women can serve and serve no worse than men. This was proved by the Second World War. But still, as they say, the war does not have a woman’s face, and women have to say what’s more difficult in the war than men. As for these soldiers Jane - our women will eat them and do not frown when it comes to battle. Because amers love life too much, and our women are ready to sacrifice it for their fighters.

    Afghanistan for the American army is not occupation, but evacuation, and it is natural to take women there.
    The ancient Americans - the white and red ones last time saved some crew - 400 men and for a long time they drank beer and were bored, then found somewhere, but made conclusions and built Machu Picchu - an analogue of the Institute of Noble Maidens in a safe place, and 400 students with service staff, like NZ, were kept there.
    Modern Americans know this very well, because They love libraries and strive to learn from the mistakes of others.

    in Israel, in my opinion, it’s going to refuse to use women in direct battles. In auxiliary units, in UAV control, etc. - Yes, they will use it, but in a meat grinder - no longer. After all, there are good reasons for this?

    No need to discuss high matters, psychologists have already proved that the death of a woman acts on the male unit demoralizing.
    This is not an axiom, but it has its influence.
