      People downvoting are either poorly educated or in denial.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_liberation_of_France

      White American soldiers were much less likely to be executed for rape. 130 of the 180 troops charged with rape by the Army in France were African American. U.S. forces executed 29 soldiers for rape, 25 of them African American.

      Of course with a bit of that racist America flavour.

        People are downvoting because the topic is survival rate and while rape by military stsff is a huge problem, it isn’t something that is clearly linked to these particular soldiers.

              Honestly pug, you’d do us a service just to ban this dude. The guy starts idiotic fights and name calls everywhere he goes.

                Noted. This is the first time I’ve noticed him, or at least remembered his username, so for now I’ll keep an eye on him.

                  We have interacted before.

                  I stand behind my commenting.

                    Seriously, dude. While I can understand and share the angst against a lot of topics and the urge to bring them out whenever I see something contextually related, going off by a set topic in a wider context without having the relevant topic at hand isn’t fruitful.

                    Do you anti-war protesting, do your part against western downplay, denial of or distraction from their colonial crimes and related heinous acts. Do all of these without taking part in beating the dead (and/or wanted to be revived) U.S.S.R / CCP bashing even, thus being focused on one side in your criticism. But also learn to make a distinction between one topic and another in a context and to take part in that topic in relevant places.

                    I’m saying this by going from this comment chain, btw. I don’t have a habit of checking people’s comment history without being given a reason to do so.

                You want to provide some examples?

                Or you just don’t like othershaving different opinions?
