Here's an example:

Senators ask Hagel to review overturning of sexual assault conviction - News - Stripes
Two U.S. senators have asked Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to review an Air Force general’s decision to overturn the sexual assault conviction of a fighter pilot in his chain of command.

Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., asked Hagel to “immediately review” the decision by Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin to reinstate Lt. Col. James Wilkerson into the Air Force after a jury in November convicted him of aggravated sexual assault and sentenced him to a year in jail and dismissal.

A general overturned the conviction of an officer charged with sexual assault.

What message does that tell all servicepeople?
That they'll give lipservice to prevention of sexual harrassment and assault, but condone the actions.
But lets not look at Bengazi and fast and furious where our people died.. liberal mind set is sick

Default Beging someone not to hurt you.

I have found that begging someone not to hurt me was always more effective when I had big club or a slim knife in his nostril.

And let's not worry when a POTUS conveniently forgets weapons sales to an enemy. Conservative mind set is delusional.

She has that right.

This woman was in fact telling victims they they don't need guns. If rape is inevitable, just lie back and enjoy it. Liberals are sick.

I seriously doubt this is what she said "Don't Rape" is about raising better young men, not stopping a rape during the crime.

Almost all rape victims know their attacker. This should not be news to anyone who has done even a tiny bit of research.

I'm liberal but not anti-gun so I won't comment on the gun part.

I'm not sure what the problem is here, Rape isn't a woman problem, it's a man problem. Almost 100% of rapes are purported by men, so raise better young men and you'll decrease rapes, this is a fact.

The "Don't Rape" piece is an attempt to change the culture of "well she was dressed like..." and "she was asking for it" and "she may have been really drunk but she never said no" and "Well she came back to my room, what did she expect?."

I teach sex education, while it may seem silly to say "Don't rape" it is NOT a message that has been used before. We have, historically, focused all our anti-rape education on women, that is only a piece of the puzzle.

1 in 6 US women has experienced attempted or completed sexual assault. All and ANY education we can have to change that statistic is a good thing, not something that should be mocked.

How do you figure that? We might have alot of sex but we get consent first. The odds of getting raped in the USA is lower than either UK or Australia.
