This is a video that chilled me to the bone. It is one that should be compulsory viewing for every man, woman and child. It reveals the cruelty of man. If you really love war, don't bother to watch, it would be pointless. Womens rights? WATCH! WAR NO MORE

Numbers reported by the Department of Defense show a sickening pattern. In 2006, 2,947 sexual assaults were reported -- 73% more than in 2004...At the heart of this crisis is an apparent inability or unwillingness to prosecute rapists in the ranks.
