KBR & Rape...Past due for a letter righting campaign.
:wtf:

I have absolutely fucking had it after seeing this covered by Cenk on TYT. It's something I always assumed happened with women in or around battle. I'm disgusted with knowing how incredibly prevalent it's become. Is this the last fucking straw yet. This is one of the worst cases of rape and explotion I've ever heard from this government. It's pretty incredible even for American mainstream.

If this blows up on KBR, then more will come out questioning their above-the-law status. Maybe someone will question just how many have signed statements to stay quiet and been sent into arbitration (I hate arbitration).

I'll do my part. I hope we can get some people to do theirs too.

1. it isn't just the contractors. I heard last week (sorry, don't have the
link handy) that there have been TWO THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED reported sexual assaults and rapes reported by women in the military this last year (was listening to cspan, anybody have the link, and did I actually hear it correctly)

sexual assault in the military is something they don't want to talk about. I know personally of several cases where the female soldier reported the rape and SHE was thrown out of the service. at the AFA, the same thing.
