Women sue U.S. Marine Corps over alleged recruiter rapes
SAN FRANCISCO - Two teenage women who claimed a pair of former U.S. Marine Corps sergeants raped them in a Ukiah recruiting office sued the military Wednesday in federal court for failing to properly train and supervise recruiters.

The women were in high school and excited about joining the military when Joseph Dunzweiler, 25, and Brian Fukushima, 26, allegedly raped them, according to the suit. Both recruiters were demoted after court-martial proceedings, but acquitted of the most serious charges they faced.

...

Dunzweiler was acquitted of charges he coerced Doe into having sex with him. However, he was convicted of five lesser charges, including having sex with another potential recruit, providing alcohol to recruits, lying to Marine investigators and asking others to lie for him. His rank was reduced from staff sergeant to corporal, his pay was docked by $1,300 and he was restricted to base for 30 days.

Sgt. Brian Fukushima was convicted by the military in September of sexual misconduct, adultery and asking a recruit to lie to investigators. He was demoted to corporal, his pay was docked $1,000 and he was restricted to base for 30 days.

4. Giving them a taste of what life in the Military is all about.
War screws people up in more ways than one.When you train people to kill, it dehumanizes them.

Fearless Leader lerned how to kill by ordering the execution of condemned prisoners as Governor of Texas. Jeb is in training to take his place.

Fuckin' up the Planet, one victim at a time.
