Dyres implied that people who serve in our armed forces should somehow be immune to "these attacks with words". I obviously don't condone the type of bullshittery in which this specific woman was engaging, but I also don't like the idea of giving the military a free pass.
I'm not saying they should but if something like rape and or harm to another person is done they should be called out on it. I am not trying to defend rape in the military that is sick. I understand those types of things happen but what i was only trying to say is for the ones who do some actual good and not do terrible shit like that should be left alone. If people who did rape and or harm others in the military they should be put out there.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of cases in which the command structure in the military (vastly and overwhelmingly male) shuffles these kinds of things under the rug.
