Tip of the iceberg. Our society is getting more and more depraved. The military is a reflection of society as a whole. There is nothing special about the "average" basic military recruit. Many of them go into the military because they have nothing else going for them. The training instructors often are power hungry little twerps that enjoy having control over people that are at their mercy. Combine these little "natzies" with 18 year old, clueless, kids and you're asking for trouble. Phrilly makes a great point about segregating by the sexes. However, in this age of open homosexuality in the military, you'll have gay instructors going after the same sex recruits. Glad I'm retired. It was going downhill when I left.

When I joined the AF back in the stone age, the women were in one dorm and the men in another and the females had a female TI and the males had a male TI, never the twain to meet. The biggest thing we had was a female and male met and tried to mate in the bushes by the theater. Nothing about abuse of the kind that is going on now. I'm really disappointed that this has happened, they used to vet the TI's better than this.

QUIT blaming the President for everything that these idiot people do. He DID NOT make these training instructors whip out their junk and abuse others with it. These are just low life pieces of crap that want a free ride in life by joining the military.

Doesn't surprise me now that Obama opened the closet for the military military and same sex. Have fun guys.

so whats wrong? remember our commander-in-chief repealed don't ask, don't tell. this is the new normal.
