The Invisible War
is a 2012 documentary showing the shocking prevalence of sexual assault
in the military, and worse, the cover-ups that tend to follow. The
rate of assaults against women is completely unacceptable as it is. We
should not put women in infantry and special forces where the risk will
be even great to them because there is less supervision, more pressure, and everyone does everything together and in front of each other. It will be totally destructive of women and combat readiness both.
According
to the documentary which sites government studies, 20% of women in the
military have been assaulted, fifteen thousand in 2011 alone. They
estimate half a million women have been assaulted over the years. The
testimonies of rape victims are horrendous. But it shows that neither
the boot camps, nor the deployment training, nor the Feminist theories
on women’s equality we’ve been fed since the mid-sixties equipped these
rape victims to fight off the men who raped them, or to avoid dangerous
situations in the first place. Besides exposing a very dark problem in
the military branches, what The Invisible War shows without
intending to is that breaking down the age-old standards of behavior and
of separating women from men doesn’t empower them – it makes them more
vulnerable to attack. This is the truth the Feminists don’t want you to
know. They’ve been lying about it for the past fifty years.
Women
have served in the military since World War I, beginning with separate
units for women in nursing and administrative roles that “freed the men
to fight.” Today everything is integrated: We train together, eat
together, we socialize and often drink together (one of the common
avoidable circumstances that leads to rape), and single servicemen and
women sleep in the same barracks together. These all become high-risk
activities for a woman, as the documentary shows. Some were raped while
on duty, or in the offices of their attackers. Some were having a few
drinks, bonding with their fellows who in some cases drugged them.
Where all that stands between a woman and an attacker is a locked door,
we’re already too late. And in special forces in the combat zone, there
aren’t even any doors to lock.
We’re
putting the sexes together as if eros and human passion don’t exist.
All the steps that for thousands of years have been in place to protect
women have been destroyed by Feminists who see these protections and
standards as oppression. They are in fact the opposite. It takes a
village to protect women – with both men and women holding each other to
high standards of behavior. The differences in how we treat the sexes
not only exist, they are essential. We don’t expect women to be treated
like men – that would be barbaric. We don’t expect men to be treated
like women - that would be pathetic. In the age of “friends with
benefits” and “dress like a slut” day, everybody instinctively knows
that how a woman dresses affects men. They can’t turn it off. That’s
why dress and other behaviors in our own control matter. The Feminist’s
assumption that we can presto-chango transform our natures is absurd, and when tested is proven false. They give themselves
the lie by adding double standards – women can be sluts but you have to
respect them as if they were chaste, women can do what men can do
except you need to gender-norm the testing standards to manufacture
equal results. There’s no way they can create sexless uniformity among
men and women, so they have to propagate a huge deception. They falsely
frame the issue as one of civil rights and liberation, making it all
but impossible to discuss the real issues.
Anu Bhagwati,
a female veteran advocating for women in combat roles, was in this
documentary giving “expert” testimony. Even knowing the horrifying
rates of assault, she wants women in elite units where there is no separation of the sexes, where there is not just less, but no
protection of women. Put the sexes in close quarters, under pressure,
tell them their biology is artificial and their previous sense of
decency something to just get over. Anyone who doesn’t want to share
their junk with the opposite sex (the spouses are cringing), is just a
prude trapped in a bygone age. Martha McSally
continually claims common decency standards are nothing, and that the
lack thereof doesn’t hurt unit cohesion at all. The media claim outrage
at the prevalence of violent rape in the military. Yet in the combat
roles debate, rape is nothing. The female proponent in this debate asserts that if women are willing to risk capture and rape by enemy combatants, they should be allowed to do so. Just another choice. Would she say the same to women joining the military in the first place? Big Lies, perpetrated by big-time Feminists.
The
pressure of combat missions is already unbelievably high. What if an
assault happens the day of a mission? We know there’s at least a 20%
risk. Suddenly there are opposing needs – to complete the mission and
to deal with the assault. If reported, the command acting rightly would
have to destroy the mission by taking both rapist and victim off the
battlefield. There would be even more pressure not to report the
assault – even self-imposed by the victim herself - because there’s a
mission at stake. We are, after all, at war. That is a
decision no woman nor any commander on the ground should have to face.
Until Leon Panetta’s act of tyrannical fiat, the infantry and special
forces did not have to consider it.
Women
with men is not an equal opportunity. The standards of conduct and
degrees of separation have existed for women’s own protection, but
Feminists have bullied us into abandoning them in favor of fake
constructs that end up hurting women most of all. The appalling rate of
sexual assault and the lack of prosecution in the military are serious
problems that The Invisible War brings to light. These should be dealt with before putting women at greater risk in combat units on the battlefield.
