63. Your experience puts the "lie" to nothing.
Edited on Mon Jun-21-04 10:43 AM by Dhalgren
Because you may or may not have experienced one or another thing has no probative value when discussing separate and unrelated events. No logic there. If a traumatized person is trying to tell what happened to them, they will tend to euphamize, or use broad brush descriptions. "Forced to have sex" could easily be the phrase used to mean the female soldier masterbated him or that he was forced to simulate in some way oral sex on the woman soldier. The fact that some statements might not jibe with your cultural biases does not make the statements, therefore, untrue.
