10. Understandable. Rape is used to dilute a population
IIRC the Serbs were using it against Muslims during the Yugoslov civil war
In short, rape their women until they're pregnant then leave them with a generation they can no longer claim is of a particular ethnicity.
D&P is so eager to pick a fight he won't even let the girl agree with him:

16. Yes, well, I wasn't commenting on the UN
I was commenting on a very small clause in an otherwise very necessary news article.
I'm not sure what the excitement is supposed to be about.

18. You don't know "what the excitement is supposed to be about" ....?
I don't get what you are trying to say or affirm ---
Rape as a tool of war is historical --
Bosnia/Serbia made that quite clear again --
RAPE is a military order by leaders to soldiers --
and that is confirmed by the United Nations statement quite a few years back.

19. Yes. That's pretty much what I said, minus the extraneous exclamation points.
My post only noted that "increasingly used" was a peculiar phrase because of the historicity of rape as a weapon of war.
I then complimented the OP for posting about a very important subject.
That's all.
I even sited the Yugoslov civil war in a later post.
I don't know why the UN figures into any of this. Rape was a weapon of war and genocide for thousands of years prior to the advent of the UN and even if the Un had never recognized it as a weapon it would still be a weapon.
The OP is to be commended for helping cast light this very dark practice.

21. Agree -- and the United Nations provides a necessary confirmation of this reality ... !!
And he just won't leave her alone: elsewhere in the same thread:

11. That's not politically/ethnically motivated as an instrument of war

13. and they rape women in the military academies, as well --- !!!
We need an end to the male-supremacist religions which create and preach
hatred and intolerance for women and homosexuals from their pulpits!!

17. The Soviet army moving into Germany at the end of WW2
committed many revenge rapes against German women. While it is debateble as to whether the secularist Soviet government encourgaed the behavior it pretty much condoned the acts by its silence.
Let's not replace one form of bigotry with another.
And although I'm an atheist I'll go out on a limbe here and predict vast majorities of religious people would feel their creeds compel them to condemn rape.

20. Your comments aren't clear -- US soldiers raping their own female teammates ....
or raping female students at the military academies is clear history.
If you have a comment on that, why not make it ...?
Meanwhile ... Soviet army did rape Germans --
and Germans raped in every country they conquered.
Japanese raped -- and also used their own young women as camp "prostitutes."
US in Vietnam actually set up houses of prostitution --
Therefore, please make clear what this comment alludes to ....
Let's not replace one form of bigotry with another.
And what would this comment have to do with military decisions re rape ... ?
whether the secularist Soviet government encourgaed the behavior
Are you trying to suggest that a belief in male-supremacist religion prevents rape?
Unfortunately, the more one looks at your comments ....
And although I'm an atheist I'll go out on a limbe here and predict vast majorities of religious people would feel their creeds compel them to condemn rape.
the more likely it is to find conflicting messages -- unfortunately, we have had Rumsfeld's
belief in "Chrstianity" plastered all over his military messages -- and he supported torture.
It was Rumsfeld who moved the military "to the dogs" -- !!
And many more examples -- including at our military academies -- of Evangelicals being in charge
while rape has thrived!
Very frantic writing cadence.

22. My point, as I noted in post #11, is that the attacks that occur in
the US military are not because of policy but in spite of it.
The US isn't attacking its own soldiers, or anybody else's for that matter, as a instrument of war.
What's with all the exclamation points? Emphasis is one thing but overuse smacks more of raving than point-making.
heh
