A question about Limbaugh for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs

Last edited Fri Mar 2, 2012, 11:00 PM - Edit history (1)

and all the Senior Enlisted Leaders of the military branches:

"Contraceptives are covered by military health care. Since Rush Limbaugh is broadcast to our troops via Armed Forces Radio, do you believe that all of our women in uniform, and the wives and daughters of active duty troops that recieve contraceptive coverage through military healthcare are 'SLUTS AND PROSTITUTES'???

and trust me. These 4-Star Officers don't agree with Limbaugh, even slightly, and if one of them sneezes in the direction of Armed Forces Radio...Limbaugh's ass will be gone for good from AFN.

There is contact info and links to social media for the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the above link. Flood the damn contact box with comments detailing what Rush Limbaugh did, and that you don't feel that is appropriate for the Armed Forces, and they WILL take action.

I'm active duty and there is no doubt that there is a serious problem with sexual assault. The Secretary of Defense established a Staff Position that reports directly to him headed by a 2-star Air Force Gemeral that has been tasked to take action to tackle this problem.

BTW - One of the biggest under-reported sexual assaults in the military is male-on-male.

Your false statement that the JC support the defamation of women is ignorant of the facts and is a statement that more than likely would come from the likes of Limbaugh.

But I'm dead serious. If we want Limbaugh off of Armed Forces Network, flood the "contact" link at the Joint Chiefs website. There is also a facebook page.

Not every Flag Officer is "awesome", but they've had about enough of the way some of the neanderthals in ranks treat female troops. The leadership of the military know there is a problem, and they are serious about changing the culture.

If one of these 4-star Generals or Admirals sneeze in the direction of AFN, Rush will be gone in a heartbeat.
