In reply to the discussion: Female Army Vet Accused of Murdering Her Three Daughters, Ages 3, 2 and 2 Months [View all]MineralMan
(146,248 posts)50. I have no idea. Adding anything to this
sad story is just plain wrong. We know nothing except that the children are dead and it appears that the mother killed them. Beyond that, there is no other information.
Speculating in cases like this is on the borderline of being obscene, I think. While sexual assaults are far too frequent in the military and needs to end, assuming that this women acted as she did because she was sexually assaulted assumes information not in evidence and is using a tragic story to promote some point of view.
I strongly object to using other people's tragedies to further some unrelated issue. I see far too much of it.

It is a horrible story, but based on the info available, she may not have even finished

Those are FAR more likely possibilities than flashbacks from an Army career she did not have

Look at the photoshopped image - it adds an unrelated fetus in the womb pic to the story.

Adding an unrelated fetus in the womb pic to the photoshopped image isn't responsible, either.

Yes, and maybe the OP could provide some proof that she WAS sexually assaulted!

No - the photo of the fetus in the womb is not there. Your OP uses a photo op image

And just what evidence removed any doubt that this was caused by what you say caused it?
