Wondering why Lance Cpl. Lauterbach, isn't mentioned here.

In my outrage about this murder I searched posts and it seem that the Vet's are the only ones even mentioning her. Women in the military are in trouble! Rapes, sexual harassment, intimidation and discrimination are added to burden carried by military women. We need to contact our reps in Congress and make them understand that just because a women is raped on base, overseas or in the U.S., we expect their attackers to be prosecuted. Women with ANY connection with the military need to speak up. Do not let your sons think that it is right to turn a blind eye on this injustice. Do not let your daughters think that it is better to remain silent and accept anything less than justice from the military. Commanders of bases are responsible for the well being and protection of anyone on base and for troops in the surrounding community.
Women enter the military for much the same reasons as men. They should expect and demand the same rights and protections as men. It is no longer an all boys club. The military has had long enough to get this right! Parents and family of those in the military have the right to know that their loved ones are safe from attack from within!
