John McCain: Women should avoid military service until sexual misconduct crisis solved

 On many levels I tend to agree with him ..without going into any specifics there are many reasons I battle PTSD I was in the military and unless you have been there DO NOT JUDGE the man. In my opinion he is trying to protect women from the things that happen ...this I admire, respect and fully support because of the things i have been through and seen. My support however does not only come from a victims point of view as I do not pull the woe is me crutch routine that many people do it just isn't how I function. That being said I do not criticize people for that form of dealing by any means we all have our own way. It is important if there is to be any change for the better for the government to face the fact of what really goes on be honest about it and make SERIOUS changes. I realize fully that nothing will ever be perfect as well as the fact there will always be men who look down upon women which is fine everyone is their own person...UNTIL it hurts another physically and /or emotionally/mentally. Then something must be done! Yes there is the chain of command yes there are reports to fill out ....PROBLEM those reports are often refereed to as made up or when asked for details the victim is often told they are romanticizing and therefore obviously wanted things to happen. In some incidences the victim may even be told they should consider the impact they will be causing to the perpetrator's family..pardon me but shouldn't the perpetrator have though of this before doing what ever they did to another human being? So much of these things are shoved under the rug because the JAG or even just the chain of command wont deem it a worthy issue because it will get them into trouble for not keeping the victim safe in the first place. There really is so much more to be said but I will pause at this point Please feel free to comment in any form as i said and i hold true we are all individuals and we all have our own opinions i love to learn from others as well as share what i have seen ..this is growth and growth is ALWAYS welcomed !! :-)
