Above: girls in IDF show us their stuff
John McCain has come up with a novel solution to the alleged sexual assault crisis in the military: women should not join the military.
What an original idea! Why hasn’t anyone thought of that before?
If you think long and hard about it, it just might work…
Sen. John McCain, who built a potent political career on his record as a Vietnam veteran and ex-prisoner of war, on Tuesday told the leaders of every military branch he cannot in good conscience advise women to join the service as the military grapples to contain and curb its sexual assault epidemic.
“Just last night, a woman came to me and said her daughter wanted to join the military and could I give my unqualified support for her doing so. I could not,” McCain, an Arizona Republican, said during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing examining whether all serious sexual crimes should be removed from the chain of command.
Of course, we could follow the lead of the Israeli Defense Force, which segregates men and women, and recently disciplined female recruits who were caught behaving in a sexually suggestive manner.
