."Some of the units we escort have females. Most of these girls have a guy around that would love to have sex with her at the very least, maybe more.No comment
But they arent getting any so they assume the role of a big brother, following her around like a big puppy dog, scowling at anyone that looks her way.
We call these guys brother protector, and we laugh at them while they are looking."

My sources tell me this is the best way to navigate among the perpetually horny---find a big, big brother type, some of whom are just that and provide a buffer out of a sense of honor, which others may laugh at, but not me! I know one of them and am very grateful for him. In the military, especially in combat zone, often a female has two choices--be a 'bitch dyke' or be a 'slut' in the eyes of some of the males surrounding them. Just sort of human nature, I suppose.
Stryker is that you?
As I was reading that I was thinking of Strykres daughter that is soon, or on her way back for a second tour, and all those reports we had a while back about getting raped on the way to the latrine, or dieing a dehydration for lake of water because of fear of the latrine. Talk about the enemy within when you have to worry about Hajji on the outside and horny on the inside.
Not to mention the fact that Chapter's war blogging day may be over after that one post. Keep your fingers crossed the censers are busy elsewhere.
Yeah, that be me. Mine never told me of feeling threatened by her fellow soldiers, but the surge in 'interest' did make her uncomfortable a few times. I traded a few emails with some of her guy friends and was proud she had them there with her. I remember she said she and another female were walking past a fence separating Iraqis forces from their part of the camp and some of them started shouting and whistling--an Army ranger came tearing out of the barracks ready to snap the neck of the first one to make a sound and they scattered like a flock of pigeons, which she thought was neat. She wasn't really afraid, had her m-16, a .45 and a switchblade knife and she is bigger than most of the Iraqi men who tend to be pretty scrawny. She mostly thought it ridiculous. Here she was wearing full body armor and weapons and these guys were excited---she thought some of them probably hadn't see a woman's face before or something, since that was about all she wasn't covered in desert camo. Guys are gonna be guys, especially when they outnumber the females 15-1 for 12 months. She never mentioned being afraid of any of her comrades, just occasionally irritated. Some of the females took fool advantage of their unprecedented popularity. There were two reported rapes in her FOB while she was there and she was certain one of them was bogus and the other was likely to have been the same. They both reported the rape after getting pregnant and one was married, the other had a boyfirend at home. Both claims were dropped after they shipped home. She hasn't left yet, but will in a few weeks.
That reminds me of a story where joe and jane are out all night drinking and joe invites jane up to his room at like 3 in the morning, jane agrees and when they arrive undresses and jumps joe like there is no tomorrow, but in the morning she changed her mind and decided that she really did not like joe at all. Filed charges and joe was discharged. I think this took place in one of the war colleges. When you read the story it's clear that there was a rape, of the judicial system.
