AS HAS been noted here before, the entry of women in significant numbers into previously-all male portions of the military does not render the military less guilty in the eyes of liberals. It actually makes it more guilty. The issue of sex abuse against female soldiers, who are expected to defend themselves against aggressive foreign enemies but are excused from defending themselves from their fellow soldiers, is now a major theme in the press. A federal lawsuit was filed this month by women soldiers charging the Department of Defense with countenancing sexual assault.

In 2009, The New York Times ran this lengthy piece about the “peril in war zones” from male G.I.’s who abuse or make unwanted sexual advances to female soldiers.

It’s interesting to note this particular entry in the comments section following that article. One sergeant at Fort Bragg wrote:

I am a Sergeant in the Army, and maybe it’s just because I serve in an infantry battalion, but I’ve never seen women assaulted in the Army. As a matter of fact, I have seen the opposite: the few women I have seen in my unit have all been promoted faster for fraternizing and frolicking with male superiors. And I have a hard time believing that a captain cannot or would not be able to come forward and not be taken seriously. But before I’m lambasted as a chauvinist/misogynist sexist, know this: the Army goes to great lengths inculcating the notion that a sexual assault charge will end your career. So, again, because of personal experience, I’m skeptical of all these articles depicting the peculiar hardships of women at war.

Women are concentrated in the least threatened forces such as the Air Force and Navy. As far as the other forces, if there is a full scale war, women will get pregnant. So men, avoid the military unless it is in those least threatened forces. Instead (including older men), organize into Minutemen and prepare for revolution. Don’t send others off to die for a corrupt government. Be ready to defend your culture.

This is not a call to prepare for violent revolution. It is simply a call to be prepared to defend your culture, as the South failed to do. The South thought it was too vast; well geography does matter, but much more is involved, as the relatively few Germans proved during WWII.

The key is deterrence, which worked during the Cold War of the twentieth century. Respect. Fear. Negotiation. Diplomacy. These are essentials to defending yourself.
