Paul1405, "The big issue facing David Morrison is his part in any cover up of abuse in the ADF"

Agreed that is one of the big issues. The treatment of the eight men is another for instance.

For comparison, if Anglican Archbishop Hollingworth is to be held accountable for what happened under his watch and he is, what about the General? The army is far more hierarchical than the Anglican church.

Beach, just as Hollingworth, Pell and the other poor excuses in the church hierarchy need to be exposed for their part in cover ups of pedophilia in their organisations, and it has been well documented, any cover up in the ADF by any senior officers needs also to be publicly exposed.

<This is the view that people should be judged for what they do rather than what they are. It’s a belief about individual responsibility for individual behaviour. It’s still the basis of our criminal law, if not the favoured view of the “human rights” movement at the moment.>

Exactly, these men need to take responsibility for their stupid, giggly,schoolboy
Behaviour. How stupid are they, it was obvious the country and politicians
We're losing patience with the constant reports of sexual harassment and rapes
Being reported in the military. Men are often raped too in these male institutions,
Like old boys schools, the church, and military academies.
It seems the male of the species just cannot stop themselves from
Committing these acts of bastardry.

They think it's all some kind of big joke, smirk, smirk.
Grow up for Gods sake.

Having said that, I never thought women in the men's army was
A sensible idea. Or that it would be free of this sort of trouble given
The Sexual weakness of men. Or the weak mental ability of men in general.

I think one good woman is worth 10men.
But I do think men have a natural ability as warriors.
Their One track minds and focus are excellent for the concentration
Needed in war situations. That is their natural evolutionary nature.
Plus their stronger body for combat up close.
Forrest Gump is an excellent example of how the one track focus fits
In very well with the skills needed in the army.

Men however, are a disruptive force in a civilised society.
It is overwhelmingly men who commit the biggest percentage
Of the worst crimes.

That's why the most miserable worn torn countries in the world
Are the ones that are totally male dominated. They are also the countries
Millions of people are trying to leave. The countries everyone
Is trying to escape to are the ones that have been made more civilised
by the ability of women to bring about change for the better.
