Terror, if not Terrorism

Here's a kind of terror, if not Terrorism, that few Americans seem to concern themselves with. Not making any commentary on the propriety of joining the military. Certainly not making any critique of the loss of foreign lives as a result of our military adventurism - I've come to recognize a "Non-issue," where it exists, in the minds of most of my fellow countrymen and women. But for Hell's sake, these victims are suffering - next time folks want to obsess overmuch about the deplorable bombings in Copley Square, maybe they should keep in mind what goes on, largely unreported and unpunished, in the ranks of our supposedly heroic, and very peculiar institutions. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-rape-of-petty-officer-blumer-20130214 "The Rape of Petty Officer Blumer Inside the military's culture of sex abuse, denial and cover-up" P.S: Not trying to draw a DIRECT parallel. Just had to comment in some meaningful way on this sick and sickening phenomenon.
