Female soldier says she was raped

"It's sad. You can't trust your own people," said Staff Sgt. Theresa Spicer, a supply sergeant with the brigade headquarters.

"The soldier is being provided with medical care and emotional support," brigade spokesman Lt. Col. Joseph Piek said in a statement released Saturday in Kuwait.

Agents from Camp Arifjan, another Army post near Kuwait City, are handling the investigation. It wasn't immediately clear Sunday if the investigators had detained anyone in the case or had any suspects.

"This brigade's overall focus is getting ready for Iraq," Piek told The News Tribune. "That does not diminish the seriousness of the alleged crime ... But it's not the kind of thing we need to be dealing with just a short time before we go north."

No, I guess not. So let's blame the poor woman for bringing charges.

This is all too common in our illustrious military. Why do American soldiers hate American soldiers?

....hey, do what you want....it obviously isn't that big a concern, as the situation comes up time and again.
