In reply to the discussion: Female soldier was allegedly sexually assaulted by *22* other troops at the Army training base in Ft [View all]llmart
(15,536 posts)41. I have a brother just like that.
Our father thought it'd do him good to get him in the army. He was thrown in the brig before his time was up for beating an Asian woman within an inch of her life. They gave him an honorable discharge which pissed me off to no end. He had a history of problems from the time he was a little boy including deliberately injuring me to the point that I had to be rushed to the emergency room to get stitches in my face. Throughout his adulthood he's had a history of beating women, drug use, alcoholism, felonies. Needless to say I no longer have anything to do with him.

I'm going to take some heat for this statement. There are a lot of lowlifes in the military.

I'm stating to believe things like this are typical of men. It's who they are.
