Military Rape

Recall Dahr Jamail. He was an independent journalist during the Iraq war, one of the few non embedded writers, giving us another view of the war.

He's written an eye opening article on rape in the military. The victims are women and men, yes men.

Al Jazeera: Rape rampant in US military

Armando Javier was an active duty Marine from 1990 to 1994. He was a Lance Corporal at Camp Lejeune in 1993 when he was raped.


Five Marines jumped Javier and beat him until he was nearly unconscious, before taking turns raping him. His sexual victimization narrative reads, “One of them, a corporal, pulled down my shorts and instructed the others to ‘Get the grease’. Another corporal instructed someone to bring the stick. They began to insert the stick inside my anus. The people present during this sadistic and ritual-like ceremony started to cajole, cheer, and laugh, saying “stick em’ – stick-em’.”
