Re: Global wireless hotspot

This bears out what I mean.

And it's not just the inherent conscientious objector our military
finds inconvenient: current U.S. military training also includes a
component to desensitize male soldiers

http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0304,baard,41331,1.html

to the sounds of women being raped, so the enemy cannot use the cries of
their fellow soldiers to leverage information. I think it not
unreasonable to connect such desensitization techniques to the rates
of domestic violence in the military, which are, according to the
DoD, five times those in the civilian population

http://www.motherjones.com/news/featurex/2005/07/base_crimes.html.

Is anyone really surprised that men who have been specifically
trained to ignore the pain and fear of women have a difficult time
coming home to their wives and families? And clearly they do. There
were 2,374 reported cases of sexual assault in the military in 2005,
a 40 percent increase over 2004. But that figure represents only
reported cases, and, as Air Force Brig. Gen. K.C. McClain, commander
of DoD's Joint Task Force for Sexual Assault Prevention and Response
pointed out

http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=15162,

"Studies indicate that only 5 percent of sexual assaults are reported."

- Binat are also more likely to be court martialed.

This is again what I mean. I came across this in a different context.
Domestic violence is indeed tragic, but accorig to international law
it is an internal US matter. Violations of the Geneva Convention, the
killing of civilians - the covering up of the killing of civilians by
rubbishing Iraqi witnesses in the way in which Rand and Fred rubbish
me. That is not an internal affair. It is external aggression in a
totally illegal war.

"Beni al kalb" I am not concerned with domestic violence. I am
concerned with the Middle East.

This is what I mean. This training has come up in discussions in this
group.
