Re: Lawsuit claims Pentagon turned blind eye to military rape victims



Errr.  The P&F blogging to date is about educating the public on the process and the systems rather than taking a position on the subject of the article.  What can we tell the public about this article that helps them understand the UCMJ, the procedures, the defense of seeking truth, etc to draft a blog on this?

I am not sure what to say about this article.  It’s unfortunate that there are genuine victims who are being ignored.  On the other hand, the draconian new 120 turns the constitution on its head and allows even the most frivolous charges to go forward and for the government to obtain convictions against even innocent members.
 
So while I am moved by the stories of “real” victims, I am way too aware of many false victims who use the system to destroy the lives of innocent military members.

Gentlemen, Another Topic to comment on for the P&F Blog. This has 923 comments already on the Military on msnbc.com - If we get this into the blogosphere today - it will drive people to the Firm website.  Anyone?  M

Fourteen people charged in a lawsuit that the Pentagon turned a blind eye when they reported being sexually harassed, assaulted and raped while on active duty in the military.
