God, I hate this kind of stuff. Although I am all for women's equality, sometimes I think we should stay out of the military if we are subject to death by our own forces as well as the "enemy."

Otherwise, they just straight out lied to cover up the fact that the Army failed to protect one of its soldiers from domestic abuse and then lied to cover up the end result of their not-benign neglect.
