Hello, my name is Rachael. I am writing you
because I am highly concerned with the welfare
of women in the army.
I was raped in July '05,
something I just cant seem to get over. I talked
to a lady today who finally gave me the information
that should have been given to me back in '05:
my victims rights, which all that applied where
violated. I am at a lost as to what I can do
at this point, I am set to go to Iraq this coming
March.
I am more upset at this point that a male
in our company is getting away with making at
least 5 females feel uncomfortable, and they
told me that IF he does it again then he will
be punished in his new company. I am so tired
of their games and have every issue with making
more victims, which the army is so comfortable
doing.
I am not afraid of being shot, hit by
a bomb or even killed, I am more afraid of my
fellow soldiers than anything else. I am looking
for help as to who I can talk to about changing
the way the army handles these situations, because
they are not being handled at all. I hope you
can help me so females everywhere can feel comfortable
serving in the military.
Thank you for your time,
Rachael |
