Just like if pics of the male Marines were passed around between a group of gay men, it would be the gays’ fault, not the Marines. But I guarantee you’d see a much different reaction.

Actually, on that note, there’s a web comic geared towards Marines called “Terminal Lance,” that shows up on my news feed (not a Marine, just have a few acquaintances who are/were). One commentor posted “So when will they [the victims] be punished for taking nudes?”

Thankfully, the guy who does the comic replied with…

This, especially coming from sister Marines, is what has been the most hurtful. The rest of it comes as no surprise. I got shown a compilation of explicit photos/videos of service women while in the combat theater in Iraq back in 2005 ffs. By my superior at that. One of my Marine girlfriends and I were talking about…

Conservatives rarely have logical consistency. It’s always us vs them.

But what destroys this alchemy — and, therefore, combat effectiveness — are pettiness, rumor-mongering, suspicion, and jealousy.

Why is it when we talk about male hormones it’s all “Boys will be boys” but when we talk about women’s hormones, it’s all “PMSing irrational bitches”?

When this story first broke, my dad kept insisting that all of these women were sending naked pictures to fellow Marines and they got leaked. “You’d think they’d learn,” he said. “If you send a naked picture to a guy, there’s no way that’s going to remain private.”

Then it would be treated like the crime it is and literally every male Marine would be in hysterics about it.

I wonder what the response would be if it were males who were being photographed naked by other males?

Yeah I would think that, I don’t know, becoming a Marine is perhaps more difficult than just, like, not raping people? Or posting pictures on the internet without their consent? One of those involves a really high level of skill, dedication, mental fortitude, and physical fitness and the other......literally requires…

“Nineteen-year-old males everywhere are from Mars. They, and their early twenty-something brethren, are overloaded with testosterone, supremely confident about their invincibility, and prone to illogical antics.”

Or the workforce. I mean. It’s gross everywhere. Not this gross, but yeah.

They’ll claim they support the free market for nude photos, and that both men and women in the marines are equally free to be harassed. Just because men are naturally better at it doesn’t mean they should be punished, obvs.

Ugh. Before my cousin started her JAG program (it’s a real job, not just a t.v. show! who knew right?) specializing in sexual assault in the military, she told me something about how Jez is too reactionary. I haven’t revisited it with her since then, but yeah...

This selflessness is derived from bonding, and bonding from shared events and the unquestioning subordination of self for the good of the team. But what destroys this alchemy — and, therefore, combat effectiveness — are pettiness, rumor-mongering, suspicion, and jealousy. And when fighting spirit is lessoned, death is…

Not just women, women in the military because men just can’t help themselves.

The women are the ones getting naked for showers and stuff. I mean - the nerve of those women. If they didn’t want their bodies critiqued by men, they should have kept their clothes on. /s

Sluts had it coming, what the hell did they expect?

Given the current “leadership” in DC, I assume that the women will be held responsible for being women.

If you are talking about Turkey then you should very well know that Erdogan is a “key ally” and “valued partner” in the fight against ISIS and has a “great record” on human rights.
