Acquital is final

So's an execution.

Joining the Army makes you a man, so they can execute you like one. Think they would have rushed to prosecute if he was a child or a woman?

During WWII my uncle was an infantry lieutenant. He said that in the New Hebrides Islands a black American soldier raped a French colonist, but she could not identify which guy it was who raped her. They had to execute somebody to pacify the French people there, so they picked a random black guy and put him on trial. They considered putting my uncle on the court martial board, but wanted to first insure that he would vote to convict regardless of what the evidence indicated. My uncle refused to promise that he would vote to convict if the evidence of guilt was not there, so he was not part of the court martial board. The defendant was convicted and executed, and the French colonists were pleased, but my uncle said he was sure the guy was innocent.

I'm not reading this.

I know how me reading this stuff ends.

For the people who promote the feminist concept of 'rape culture' could you start incorporating data points like this 'man executed for rape' into your narrative, plxthx.
