Looks like Major Spike is heading for a court martial.

So they call it a 'major spike' over there it's just a d*** over here

USA Military relationships abuse Boys/Girls will always tease the one they fancy.🙄 Sometimes they take it too far.😮 Some never know what a NO! is. 😮😮 But persistence and determination are the hallmarks of successful people!😀

Formerly it was villages full of brown people who reported a spike when the US army showed up!

thats what you get!

Another 45 effect I guess.

More cases or more reports?

BBCWorld but way

never saw that coming 🙄

Terribly worded headline-dont think spike and sex assault should be in same sentence!

Foxes and chickens

Call me old fashioned but if we were assaulted and had a baseball bat handy or something even better...

It may well be that more assaults are now being reported instead of endured.

Here’s a headline ‘UK Veterans betrayed by own Government’ or ‘UK media ignores thousands of Veterans marching in protest’ Iamsoldierf

Sad....but we can't change human nature.

Major Spike should be fired.

Of course look at who is their Commander in Chief. It's a Banana Republic.

Is there a difference between man and beast?

Sounds painful!

It’s been going on & getting swept under the rug. I’m thinking it’s still a “good ol’ boys” kind of thing.

MAGA!!!

Why Sri Lanka attackers' wealthy backgrounds shouldn't surprise usRecent history shows that people with comfortable lives can easily be drawn towards violent extremism As if the killings weren't enough surprise. I think it’s time we drop religion from the public space: its story is over, as it has become a vehicle for driving out mankind’s frustrations in unimaginable ways; rather than the binder it was ‘created’ to be. Or, is it time we ‘invent’ a new religion; enough of discoveries? Even in America terrorist organizations such as the Symbionese Liberation Army and the Weather Underground attracted wealthy and educated individuals such as Patty Hearst and Kathy Boudin to their respective causes in the 70s.
