Look at this interesting article from Forbes
I am actually pretty surprised. I already knew thousands of women and men get raped every year in the U.S. military. But I never thought people in the military would sink as low as producing child porn. Especially at the Pentagon. I know most people who join the military usually aren't too bright or come form shitty backgrounds and have nothing else going for them. I also know that that same group of people have impulse control problems and are drilled into losing their humanity and ability to reason when in the military. So them deciding to rape women when out in the middle of nowhere isn't surprising. But the people who work in the Pentagon are almost always a cut above the rest of the military. That is why they work in an office and don't kick around sand in some blown out middle eastern hell hole. I was holding them to a higher standard. I guess I was wrong.
So what does this say about the U.S. military if even the best and brightest of them can't stop from raping children or watching other people rape children for fun?
http://www.forbes.com/sites/85broads/20 … l-the-irs/Last week the IRS decided to award Bradley Birkenfeld his $104 million dollar share for helping bust UBS bank. Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and his staff were instrumental. Senator Grassley vowed to delay pending Department of Treasury nominations if the IRS Whistleblower Program, he wrote the legislation in 2006, continued to be mismanaged.
This powerful voice from Iowa has been a beacon in the storm during an Obama Administration that has targeted whistleblowers and prevented accountability as never before. The Pentagon is also under Senator Grassley’s fire for failing to examine 1,700 of the 5,200 reports of employees doing child porn. The Pentagon claimed it “wasn’t a priority.” Senator Grassley and his staff have made it one. The closed investigation into wide-spread use of child porn at the Pentagon is now re-opened.
