And I assume those 30,000 servicemen will receive dishonorable discharges ASAP, right?
Yeah, I thought it was going to be the supportive-of-LGBT stuff that was muted. Big whoop, they muted the f-word. My mom would do that to me if she could.
This is why men shouldn’t be allowed in the military.
Where’s my totem? I NEED MY TOTEM
I had female TI’s that terrified me and my primary flight instructor was an incredibly smart woman. Women in the military are awesome and deserve their roles 100%. I HAVE happily gone into war zones with them. Women in the military kick ass.
Yeah, me too man. But you can come sit in my nice safe corner and we’ll listen to mellow music and crack open some coloring books. I have new pencils!
The same people who will rail against ISIS (and claim to defend the country from those awful religious terrorists) happily threatening rape of a guys wife and the sexual violation of his daughter because he exposed their hatred of women.
While I don’t at all disagree - and 100% agree this man is a hero - I want to also make sure we focus on those women serving our country who put their bodies on the line to defend us all, and yet find those same bodies sexually violated by their peers for cheap thrills. Those women, and all women, deserve better.
“Brennan tells the Marine Corps Times that there’s a ‘bounty on pictures of my daughter...It has been suggested that my wife should be raped as a result of this, and people are openly suggesting that I should be killed...Can you imagine being one of the victims?’”
The guys who threatened Brennan and his family know that they’ve almost certainly earned themselves dishonorable discharges, right? Because while the investigation into the image swapping might not lead to more than a few token pieces of discipline, threatening a fellow armed services member for exposing criminal…
I know you’re going to be shocked to hear this, but comments on the first story I read about this issue ran about 2 to 1 blame the victims for allowing their photographs to be distributed.
It’s sad knowing that with this news, the conclusion some people will reach is “This is why women shouldn’t be in the Marines!”.
“We are thankful that Thomas Brennan, a Marine veteran, notified the Marine Corps and NCIS about what he witnessed on the ‘Marines United’ page,” said Capt. Ryan E. Alvis, Marine Corps spokesperson. “It allowed us to take immediate action to have the explicit photos taken down and to prepare to support potential…
Thomas Brennan is a hero. And I wonder how many higher ranks participated in this before he reported it to them. And then quickly crafted their vague press releases.
This is a tough call as I think Justin Timberlake should be muted all the time. Can’t stop that feeling!
Glad he’s using his ill-gotten powers for good (I cannot excuse his involvement in the boy band craze that ruined the airwaves of my youth).
This does feel like a bad acid trip. Especially a bad acid trip that’s happening when you didn’t even know that you had ingested acid. But I do know who dosed you: It was 60 million Trump voters. Don’t get too angry, they thought you would like it.
The American fucking people did it. That’s who. *shakes head*
