2 Airborne Soldiers allegedly rape and beat pregnant woman

Oh my god, that poor woman. I really hope they're tried in Italy, I think they'll be far less sympathetic than our courts

What the fuck.

DH was just telling me about some Canadian sailors who couldn't handle themselves in San Diego and were sent home early. I haven't looked into it too much but DH said rape was purportedly involved. www.thestar.com/news/canada/2014/07/15/canadian_navy_ship_ordered_home_after_sailors_unacceptable_actions.html

They won't be. It's done for our protection, but I swear, in SA cases, I wish the Army wouldn't protect their own (and by their own, I mean male Soldiers) so hard. 

Yeah - the article mentions that they always request to try the individual in the US.  However, it does mention that doing so requires approval from an Italian authority, who has not yet given his answer...
