Please girl, don't paint all Americans with the same brush. A lot of people I know WELCOME universal health care. As usual, it's the radicals that you guys hear about, the people who act like idiots and make the rest of us ashamed that they're representing our image globally.

Sort of the same thing with the US military. I grew up in the military, so before all this came out about the rape cover ups, we all knew about it. I remember things happening on base and how it was all supposed the be hush hush, but everyone knew about it. It's not just women these things happen to. It happens to men, too, but that's kept covered even more, because the men it happens to don't want to report it. Thing is, it happens in EVERY military. That doesn't make what happens in the US military any better, but it does happen in every military where men and women serve together, and even to other men. It's not right to single one out.
