Women that serve in combat are being sexually assaulted by their own comrades. This is nothing new it was also occurring the Vietnam War also. They are not being respected even though they are fighting for their lives and the U.S. men around them treat them less for their gender and it's not right at all. There were two women that died of dehydration because they were too scared to come out of their base to drink water because they were scared of going out in the dark where men tended to rape women like that. At some points they can't be heard if they're screaming because the loud generators around them. It's sad to know that instead of the male soldiers protecting the females because they're weaker than them instead they're just harming them. Daily the women there are also being sexually harassed or talked to in perverted manners. Also there's not that many people they can turn to because the people that they thought they could are the ones hurting them.

Reflection on Health Care Reform

During our discussion in class there were several different views on the Health Care Reform. Some people were towards it and some were going for how it already is. The way i look it we all Americans should keep trying to get universal health care for those that need it because why not give help to those that live here, it's unfair to just let someone die. We were talking about how some people are scared of change and are paranoid of not being a democracy, but sometimes we need those that are more experienced in knowing how to deal with these things to give them the chance to help us out. In other countries everyone has health care so why can't we live like them and give everyone health care. There isn't that many complaints about it so we should learn from them and try to do what they're doing. Some people were thinking as if why should we have the responsibility to being helping out others and immigrants shouldn't have the right to have health care but once it's someone that you know and care about then it's something thought about and worrysome. We should always be thinking of others because why not care about the people that live around you and are people like yourself. Our discussion was very interesting it brought many good points that I've never thought about it so i liked seeing other points of views.

My Opinion on the Tuscan Assassination

After seeing what had happened on that Saturday in Tuscan people were blaming other people but thats what happens sometimes when tragedies happen everyone wants to come to a conclusion of why it happened. This man that assassinated these six people had no right reason to do what he did just because of how republicans and democrats are always bickering on each others opinions doesn't mean someone should try to solve it with violence even less murdering words do more than actions in these cases. I do agree that issues that they have should be toned down though. Some things like health care aren't as bad as people put them like on the media a good amount of our tax money does go to it. Maybe if the government fixed more important things like the fact that people can have guns wherever they go in certain states is not right maybe in one's home to protect what is theirs but in public it can do harm like how that man in Tuscan killed with his gun. If these disapprovals against each other weren't so hatred then maybe other people wouldn't be so fired up to do crazy things like for example Fred Phelps. He goes to extreme levels that are irrational and what is crazy is that it makes so much sense to him and all of his followers. He might think it's right but its just disrespectful and is just making sorrow times like this harder for the families of the ones who past away. Therefore, this government and the people that take these issues to another level should see this tragedy and learn something from it and hopefully tones down peoples actions.
