Not just women who are assaulted

The letter lambasting the idea of women in the military was so utterly ridiculous as to be laughable. (Thursday, “Have men, women serve separately.”) All those “virile” young men helpless when faced with a “good looking, good smelling” female. How do all the other “very technical and very strategic” workers outside of the military pull it off in mixed company? Just picture a busy operating room where a very attractive female surgeon is in the middle a an exacting say … brain surgery, and the utterly gobsmacked but virile young male assistant becomes sooo … distracted as to become a danger to the patient. Or a judge deciding on a matter that could change the course of history when darn! a good looking/smelling lawyer crosses his line of vision. What an Achilles’ heel!

Does the “enemy” know about this? According to the writer, only women are sexually assaulted by men. News flash — assault/harassment may also be man to man, woman to man, woman to woman, groups to individuals. This U.S Army veteran ran into plenty of guys like writer and this type of mindset is what needs to be weeded out from the ranks. The adults with self-control and the ability to own their behaviors are what will be left standing.
