Two American soldiers from a base in Italy have raped and beaten a pregnant prostitute and then dumped her in a field. One of them even has prior allegations of rape.
Do they really let just about anyone in the US military these days?!

Oh please, really? Any asshole could have done this, the fact these guys are in the military is irrelevant.

There are approximately 1.2 Million people, including reserves, in the U.S. Army. It is entirely possible two of them might be rapists. Originally Posted by Hardball

He'd show me the way, according to him, in return for my personal check.

Nope. But these guys must have lied on that question, "Will you ever rape and beat a prostitute?" Originally Posted by Hardball

Unfortunately standards for joining have been lowered significantly, most rapists are repeat offenders. And if he's been caught while in the military know that he's probably going to be in jail twice. The military is going to punish him THEN they're going to give him to the civilians. Double jeopardy doesn't apply to military courts.

Unless these guys joined during the worst parts of the Iraq war, the standards have gone back up. Originally Posted by Tetrad

I highly doubt that. Historical evidence aside, I think military organzations around the world not only condone but even encourage such behaviour. To think they'll be punished twice (without having a real, recent example) is naive to say the least. Originally Posted by Tetrad

There are tens of thousands of US troops just in Europe, there are bound to be some rotten eggs. Originally Posted by Hardball

But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

As Duke Wellington said, soldiers are 'the scum of the earth'. People who join the military arnt exactly your high-classy sorta people.

Well I guess there is no doubt that military service is more attractive to certain types but it seems a bit unnecessary to point that out here. Originally Posted by Hardball

Is the OP going to post a story about the rape of every Roma woman in Italy? Or does that only happen with US servicemen?
Lol at these obvious nation bashing agenda threads.When you see someone in a thread making the same canned responses over and over, click their name, click view forum posts, and see if they are a troll. Then don't feed them."Gamer" is not a bad word. I identify as a gamer. When calling out those who persecute and harass, the word you're looking for is "asshole." @_DonAdams

Agreed, I may only know a handful of people in the armed forces and while they may not be "High-Class"(whatever his definition of it is) but they're definitely Good people and definitely not "the scum of the earth." Originally Posted by Zvinny

If you mean motivated and intelligent young people who want to get a college degree without being crushed with debt, your right. Originally Posted by cFortyfive
