I want to know why the wingers who have their knickers in a twist about gays openly serving in the military aren't raising hell about the dishonorable
soldiers who are raping enlisted women and the whole matter is being swept under the rug by officials. (

Of course Elaine Donnelly's "solution" to the problem of rape in the military is for women not to serve at all. Obviously she doesn't think U.S. men in uniform are capable of controlling violent tendencies, or perhaps from her POV, women are too much of a distraction from manly, beastly urges and thus women's mere presence sets off this beastly, disgusting behavior.
http://www.pamshouseblend.com/The Right Wingers want to keep the gays out of the U.S. Military because the homo boys wouldn't be able to keep their hands off other men during those intimate foxhole and shower situations (I know...cue porno music).
Yet, where's the outrage from the theosexuals over the disproportionate number of enlisted women being raped by their colleagues?
At least we now know it's not the lesbians perpetrating the rape.
