www.salon.com/2024/12/03/p... If Hegseth believes sexual assault in the military is an "occupational hazard", one could surmise (men can't help themselves) "exacerbated by allowing them to join" What does he think about rape being used as a weapon on civilians during warfare? Employment benefits?

I wasted 5 years of my life trying to prevent this from happening. I blame medical establishment, organized medicine, & academic institutions that looked at us like we were crazy & never joined the fight. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

Silencing doctors, referring to them as ‘toxic’ is egregious but not all that surprising. The corp. that are masquerading as hospitals will always protect their bottom line $$$ over patient safety. At least BBC Nick Triggle will have documented exacty when he sold out #BBC #NHS

The Feres Doctrine has been used to prevent military medical malpractice lawsuits since 1950 and has even limited the ability of people to bring military rape cases to civil courts. Nearly two dozen veterans advocacy groups want to change that: www.stripes.com/veterans/202...
