I'm sure lots of people have heard of the outrageous injustice suffered by Fullilove at the Air Force Academy.

To think that lewd idiots like this are running the armed forces, all the rape cases in Japan committed by US soldiers aren't even surprising.
Of course, there might be more. Fullilove might be getting attention only because she's Caucasian; if this had happened to a minority woman, Americans wouldn't even care.
I'm serious. In my town, a Korean college student was kidnapped right out of her dorm. She just disappeared. Zilch. Zip. Just like that, and the police take more than a month to start looking seriously, and they end up failing to even find a trace. And they only started to 'get serious' because the African Americans (for the same reason I am angry) felt deep outrage at the handling of the case and put up posters all over the place.
Sometimes the US gives me hope, and sometimes it just makes me sick.
