Democracy Now
There are a lot of things that surprise one in many ways, because at times you do not expect certain people to do certain things. For instance Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair, has been charged with lesser roles just because he is a General, and the Lt. Col. Joseph Morse committing a lesser crime has been judged harshly. The general rule is that someone with higher power should face higher chargers and punishment because he is to be the example, the model, and overall the leader that enforces the laws. I do not see how this seems fair. One is well aware that in the Army everything can be totally different than what it is here in the city but again, lesser people get judged and punished harshly.

Former Navy Football Player Acquitted of Sexual Assault
We all understand that every single person that is involved in any major military branch is considered a hero, a patriot, an All-American, but when it comes to their crimes committed specially when it comes to sex crimes, they just get away with them. I know that men live by the code of “men don’t tell about others” but there is a line to how much you can defend your friend. Many women are victims of rape and the attackers are never condemned for any action the make. Few weeks ago I saw a documentary called The Invisible War and it totally blew me away, I had a hard time through the whole time watching and giving me a different perspective of the people in the military. Women battle with their own superiors to bring justice to those who rape, humiliate and injure women, but it does not seem to do anything. The war is ongoing, I wonder why women who give up their life to serve our country cannot get the justice they seek or cannot do their job with peace just like men do.
