Hi, I'm Alex Stockton, a video producer for NYT Opinion. If you have any questions about how we made this video, or the proposed changes to how the military handles sexual assault cases, drop them here and I’ll try to answer some.
Hello Alex Stockton my name is Christopher, here is a copy of the comment I left. Aggravated sexual battery for the purpose harvesting adrenalized blood for adrenachrome is the most underreported sexual crime in the USA. Law enforcement agencies across America spend most of their efforts covering these crimes up. Anyone can test this out, call any law enforcement agency and ask what is the protocol for victims of aggravated sexual battery with the use of pharmaceutical nerve stimulators for the purpose of adrenachrome production. They will say things like "adrena what", "I never heard of that". Internal protocols within the FBI have been to cover up all adrenalized blood harvesting for adrenachrome because of the 1993 Supreme Court declaration that promoted adrenachrome production, "because it makes "ALOT OF MONEY" according to the FBI. Sources- Agent Jeff Peterson of the Salt Lake City office and Christopher Wray current director. I am a victim and an advocate for victims of aggravated sexual battery for the purpose of adrenalized blood harvesting for adrenachrome. I think if we tackle this problem first we will see better results handling other sexual based crimes. The United States military has been using pharmaceutical nerve stimulators to perform aggravated sexual battery on its personnel in order to regulate all sexual actions including masturbation as per the 1993 Supreme Court declaration. TRUTH HURTS. I will answer any questions as I have not signed any NDE about anything discussed above. post your questions in the comments and I will disclose. If you are willing to shed light on this issue please contact me thank you for your consideration. Christopher James Dean wheelswings5075135011@gmail.com

I do not like the shrill music that starts at 2:42. I get that it's needed to give context (you want the military guy to "sound military" but it's very distracting, and even more so on 2x speed. So please cut back on the music, or talk to some of the audio mixing people, because shrill music and speaking do not mix. The drums that were present before the music came on was OK, since it was not distracting to the speaking. Try to follow more in that example.
Army veteran here and female, I served 7 years active duty and was a sergeant when I left. Sexual assault is common in the Army. And the military has been very reactive instead of proactive in combating it. It wasn’t until they were openly criticized that we started seeing training, programs, and initiatives to help fight the trend. This video is very correct in the explanation of how the chain of command works, and it makes it very easy for bias and discrimination to occur. Most commanders don’t want the trouble or paperwork of a sexual assault and will try to handle it ‘at the lowest level’. While I was in, there were resources and designated advocates- however, the information was not well distributed and the process was a little complicated. And just the potential for pushback or concern for their career was enough to deter most soldiers from reporting incidents. We also have a very heavy drinking culture and we are very male dominated. Females are still looked down on in the military and are not treated with the same respect. Heaven forbid you have children while serving like I did- they label you ‘worthless’ when you’re pregnant or recovering from giving birth. There is an underlying lack of respect for women in the military, chain of command infrastructure that makes it easy to abuse others or dismiss problems, and a drinking culture all happening within a highly stressful environment where most soldiers are kept in close quarters to each other. There needs to be a better way to handle these assaults and bigger punishments to deter.
@@cristianproust Males being more effective in combat doesn’t matter, most MOS’ are support positions. Drinking culture persists when deployed or when never deployed, has nothing to do with ‘preparing to lose your life’. I didn’t say the chain of command didn’t work with combat situations, I’m saying it isn’t effective in lots of other areas. You can’t literally deny women the right to fight in combat for generations, then look down on them for not being allowed to sacrifice themselves in combat throughout history...? You can’t make fun or disrespect those who were intentionally excluded from the game. I’m curious if you’ve ever served, been deployed, or have any sort of experience whatsoever to back yourself?
@@jackiehawkins2680 @Jackie Hawkins I stated facts that everyone can verify. The defense department tested combat effectiveness extensively and there is not a remote comparison between both genders (males are remarkably more efficient, effective, and resilient). There is not remotely the same experiences because just males face excruciating combat, and the chain of command is universal in any army that wins wars, which is just another fact. It is you who has a delusional view, as if you think people will not be able to verify every single thing that I said, or agree given their experiences in military service. Your delusions is irrelevant to the world, and if you want respect, earn it first (in this case, not you personally, because you just spew bs as if you thought it was not going to be noticed. Pathetic
@cristian proust LOL!!! So everyone else’s experience you’d take at face value and not mine? Interesting. Believing what you want to believe. There’s a reason this video was able to be produced. It’s enough of an issue and enough people’s experiences that it’s a problem. So you can try and invalidate all our experiences, that’s fine. But the truth is the truth. And it’s coming out more and more. Instead of coming at me, you might wanna aim your arguments at the bigger issue in the video instead of trying to say I and so so many others are... delusional? Lying? That’s easier than trusting peoples experiences?
@@jackiehawkins2680 "So everyone else’s experience you’d take at face value and not mine?" you speak as someone who never felt shots directed at you. So, no, it does not count. That is why you don't understand combat effectiveness means you will never face the same, you will never understand why things are done the way they are done. "There’s a reason this video was able to be produced. " yes, for clicks and virtue signaling from an organization looking for profit, not the truth. Does it matter as an argument?. NO. "enough people’s experiences that it’s a problem" sure, nobody is saying the problem does not exist, nor it has not to be solved. It is the nonsensical argumentation you deploy, seeking a respect you haven't earned, or complaining a chain of command you think should serve another purpose. That is why it is so delusional. " But the truth is the truth." correct, that is why I stated facts, not my opinion. Do you want to pretend I'm denying the problem described in the video?. How dare you?. I denied the myriad of ignorant nonsense YOU were arguing, because you know nothing of the military. Only the opinions of those who walk the walk have any value here, not your case. A fraud seeking undeserved respect, that is what I see.
This is one of the reasons I’m very afraid of joining the army as a Veterinarian. Even though I won’t be a soldier I’d be on a base for years and I’ve heard so many terrible stories.
Stay home. People that are afraid should never be nowhere near a military base. What do you think this is, a college campus?. The amount of ridiculous nonsense
@Theodore Olson Nobody asked you to be nice. If you want to frame my comment as a denial of the omnipresent fear of death, you are wrong. I meant something completely different and it should be obvious. So keep the pleasantries to yourself
If they can do this to their own woman in the military then they most certainly have done much worse to the woman and children of the countries they we're deployed in especially in war torn countries. How can you call your country great when your soldier's are doing such horrendous things woman and Children.. I feel sorry for the people of war ravaged countries and countries where US troops are deployed..
You can guarantee that the US military have done, currently do and will do the same and worse to people in foreign lands. The US already think that everyone who isn't a US citizen is sub-human.
I remember giving a speech on this topic at my high school’s first Academic Decathlon meet. I remember thinking how outrageous it was that it had been happening so openly for so long. That was 6 years ago.
nope and the army is the WORST of all. too many of the worst and stupidest people society has to offer have risen up the ranks over the years which is why all the problems keep getting worse and worse. at this point there's nothing anyone can do except wait for everything to blow up from the inside out
@Ed Ducate sadly reporting mechanism is terribly bureocratic and a culture of secrecy surronds the army so its quite hard even for citizens to get justice although not impossible. The reason why sexual assault isnt a big problem in the turjish army is largely because women dont serve in frontline or infantry, webhave many women in army but they are more likely to be officers, and people dont sexually assault their superiors.
They close ranks real quick. From my personal experience, where there's sexual misconduct there is also racial misconduct. The higher the rank, the better of chance they get off. Then the COC treats you like you were wrong for expososing them. Your evals will be lower too. Cultural differences make a huge difference as well.
“More likely to be sexually assaulted than be shot…” that’s putting it mildly and is a far off the truth. Over 70% of solidiers have been sa’d, and 90% have received life changing harassment by a fellow solider, senior officer or human that came in contact with the soldier during active duty and in a uniform
No, there are not. There aren't even cameras in most of the barracks. The only "surveillance" in the barracks most of the time is the soldier on CQ duty trying to entertain themselves because a CQ shift is 24 hours at a desk.
This should be counted as treason betraying your own country (people) is not cool…. people in the army are a team not an enemy where men and women shall be treated well and protected at all costs not assaulted
I know that this video makes Joni Ernst out to be the hero in this situation, but let's be clear Kirsten Gillibrand is the one who has been working on this issue for a decade. This video gave her absolutely not credit and is disappointing to see that it was not cited how hard she has been working to fight this issue, whereas Ernst came out only weeks ago in support.
Women should be able to serve proudly in our military among lethal & bloodthirsty soldiers without fearing that these soldiers might become sexually uncivilized.
Same problem here in the Netherlands, I remember wanting to join but then a bunch of stories came out where soldiers were literally raping eachother and all the incidents were swept under the rug.
Let's also talk about all the SA cases done to local women by American soldiers from the American military bases all over the world, like in Japan, S Korea, Germany, etc.... and how the soldiers don't even get punished. Why are there ZERO US Medias document this issue?
Most of the people commenting seem to forget the fact that men are also sexualy assaulted in the military and not only women. These assaults are just less likely to be reported because of shame. 40% of sexual assaults in the american military have men as victims. As a criminal matter it should not be up to the Comander to decide how it should be handled. A criminal investigation should be required in every case!
who is blocking the bill currently If the bill has sixty cosponsors then it has the votes to end a potential filibuster also isn't chuck the senate majority leader now what's the hold up they should explained why it was being held back
this seems like a very disfunctional organisation. change the chain of command rule! Also I would think twice before I would join the army as a woman sadly.. seems like it could be dangerous to be a guy there too..
Im a man and I got sexually assaulted. They pay for my new apartment 900 a month. Im also on ssdi and put in for a VA increase. I only work part time now.
These offenses are already covered in the UCMJ but you have to have a command structure that will take appropriate action for these offenses and that doesn't always occur.
It is insane that this is not just handled in court like every civilian case. In Germany, I am pretty confident there is almost no situation in which you cannot just report sexual assaults to the police in order to charge someone in front of (the general, public) court. Not sure about the details when it happens abroad, though.
Permanently deployed at sea with mostly men and only a few women it’s a difficult way to live and it’s sad that someone would treat a shipmate like a piece of meat
It is not just the prosecutors, the cops investigating them must be specially trained. Civilian cops are specially trained to investigate these crimes, military people like CID, OSI etc. must get the same training. People must be told to seek help by going to a civilian hospital ASAP. Preserve the evidence. Do not bathe or shower or eat/drink. Take the exam.
If it weren’t hard to find a decent job, get an education and own a home I doubt you’d see many if any women in the military. We need to make it easier to thrive and shrink the military by half.
@@Daniel-eu9xm however, I do know both men and women who joined the military because of lack of opportunity in civilian life - some join because they want to but others join due to lack of alternatives!
Not trying to start a heated argument or debate, but I'd really like to let this out: One reason why even today people are against women serving in combat roles, is because "Men have a natural ingrained instinct to protect women, therefore a man would be too distracted because he'd be trying to protect the woman next to him." Well then, why do female soldiers (and airmen, sailors, Marines) even have to worry about being sexually harassed and/or sexually assaulted by their male comrades? Just saying...
the entire following is my personal opinion, based on personal experience - imagine being named alan b richmond jr, a civilian, the adult son of alan b richmond sr, who has worked with the department of defense, was a host on the pentagon channel, was the public relations / media representative for the naval post graduate school in monterey ca, worked with a large us military / defense tech contractor stromasys, worked as the public relations / media rep for the hawaii police department, was a marine who served in vietnam, was a member of the press club hawaii, was a radio / television on air personality and radio station program manager in california for decades, was a tv news weatherman in monterey ca, was a member of national press organizations, and had affiliations with the white house of the united states, attended a white house press dinner or some prestigious gathering during the clinton era, perhaps through his possible friendship with former cia director among other things, leon panetta, and myriad other affiliations / positions, and being stalked / hazed / harassed / targeted for years / months by military, paramilitary, enlisted serviceman of all branches, but especially navy, marines, army, and special force types with infrared flags on their sleeves, sexually harassed during that stalking, sexually assaulted while unconscious and during a period of very concentrated military stalker swarming, that immediately ended two days after the assault and when hospital / er sexual assault kit was conducted, and police report made, to a police station full of officers in sequim washington that include a small town boys club and of course as usual, former or career military serviceman, that also take part in the harassment and hazing, before, during, and after, one of which who in my personal opinion commits police report perjury by stating incorrect facts, and the case closed, followed by a second incident less than a month later, only to have that case closed, and be a small town harassed laughing stalk as the first sexual assault was rumored to have been filmed and perpetrated by a group of men (both cases rumored to be groups of men who had been targeting), and shown throughout the small olympic peninsula regions as an act of vengeance and humiliation for a family dispute, hate campaign,and a targeted as 'trans' and rejected male homosexual grooming effort campaign, being stalked intermittently afterwards for the following years, regardless of state / city, which include fusion center style law enforcement / military organized type collectives, reporting it to the fbi, more than once, having death threats and bodily harm throughout, and having associated celebrity, especially black celebrity types, referenced throughout (for whatever reason), with inferences or references / suggestion of quincy jones, amir questlove, jay z and beyonce, sean combs, kanye west, pharrell williams, oprah winfrey, and numerous others, especially with 'chicago' affiliation, or black music entertainment sports industries, and having nothing being done for justice. imagine being exploited all the while living in a 20 year old vehicle, that is accessed while asleep and away from it), having the car and items tampered with, and having all this occur throughout, and then having people expect one to be sympathetic to the military, veterans, or anything as such, and / or efforts of triggering by mentioning such affiliation. imagine all this occurring as a lifelong artist, musician, surfer, athlete, and attending the staedelschule hochschule fur bildende kunst in frankfurt germany, being exploited and duped by the aforementioned collectives and what in my opinion was the use and exploitation of a german model anna christina schwarz, to instigate / force fleeing life on a sailboat unkowingly previously owned by a laurence / lawrence m kerr, which has the same profile as a career washington dc military strategist / academic, and diplomat to various nations, including germany, to be marched around the streets of new york for 6-7 months while living on the streets, from the last week of december 2017 to june or july or 2018, whereby the aforementioned black celebrities were also often appearing or referenced, especially in social media, only to return to all of the aforementioned, including the eventual sexual assault / harassment.
At least seperate the victims from the violent perpetrators & the individuals that are unlawfully carrying out personal attacks and wrongful slander!!!!!!!!!!! Help the victims move them and help them to stay in their career help them when they get out with jobs financial support and medical! Stop covering up and only thinking about your he man stuff!!!!!!!!
If I hadn't have been sexually assaulted in the Infantry at Ft. Hood, I wouldn't have gotten kicked out with a general discharge. Been sexually assaulted by multiple civilians as well. Megan Paulman needs to get punished. She entered my locked baraks room using staff duty. She also used my passcode to unlock my phone.
They disgust me and im hoping that by now in 2023 there is a better standing pooint for all the victims who are and are to be for them to find true peace and justice.
I think this was the reason America Army was badly defeated in Afghanistan. Taliban were hundred time better. Says a British journalist, Younne Riddly.
i wrote this when i was being abused and beaten in the navy......How can I deal with the fact that I gave my life to defend the country that I live in? Against all enemies foreign or domestic. And my enemies were ones that I stand with as Americans to fight for the freedom of mankind. Why must people hate?

Let's also talk about all the SA cases done to local women by American soldiers from the American military bases all over the world, like in Japan, S Korea, Germany, etc.... and how the soldiers don't even get punished.
Why are there ZERO US Medias document this issue?
Living in the EU and looking at US healthcare, US education, US Police, US army, US politics etc. I think US society is rotten through and through
Country?
@@deepmop6817 does not really matter does it, Everywhere in the EU is better.

It's very shame, nobody takes care of this.
Most of the people commenting seem to forget the fact that men are also sexualy assaulted in the military and not only women. These assaults are just less likely to be reported because of shame. 40% of sexual assaults in the american military have men as victims. As a criminal matter it should not be up to the Comander to decide how it should be handled. A criminal investigation should be required in every case!
And dealt with OUTSIDE the military, period.
Protect your kids, don't let them join the military
who is blocking the bill currently
If the bill has sixty cosponsors then it has the votes to end a potential filibuster also isn't chuck the senate majority leader now what's the hold up they should explained why it was being held back
this seems like a very disfunctional organisation. change the chain of command rule!
Also I would think twice before I would join the army as a woman sadly..
seems like it could be dangerous to be a guy there too..
They are doing it this with their own people imagine what they might have done with the civilians where they go for the "war" ex: Iraq
Imagine what they do to their spouse's, family, etc.once returning to civilian world.
This is damaging to the military as a whole
This ruined my career but now im fully compensated.
Im a man and I got sexually assaulted. They pay for my new apartment 900 a month. Im also on ssdi and put in for a VA increase. I only work part time now.
Sorry to hear man, stay strong
the repercussions of reporting it is worse then the assult itself.
So true!
Yeaaa I think I change my mind about enlisting in the military
We need to start respecting our women that's what's up.
The UCMJ could use a total rehaul
These offenses are already covered in the UCMJ but you have to have a command structure that will take appropriate action for these offenses and that doesn't always occur.
They don't follow their own UCMJ. It needs to be dealt with OUTSIDE the military.
It is insane that this is not just handled in court like every civilian case. In Germany, I am pretty confident there is almost no situation in which you cannot just report sexual assaults to the police in order to charge someone in front of (the general, public) court. Not sure about the details when it happens abroad, though.
Request to submit this video to the US Supreme Court.
Permanently deployed at sea with mostly men and only a few women it’s a difficult way to live and it’s sad that someone would treat a shipmate like a piece of meat
It is not just the prosecutors, the cops investigating them must be specially trained. Civilian cops are specially trained to investigate these crimes, military people like CID, OSI etc. must get the same training. People must be told to seek help by going to a civilian hospital ASAP. Preserve the evidence. Do not bathe or shower or eat/drink. Take the exam.
Yes, if I had to do all over again, I would never use military resources and only use civilian.
There needs to be a video of workplace bullying in the military, too, such as being set up for failure, etc.
Outside the chain of command!
This is ridiculous
한국도 같은 이유로 현재 논란인데, 미국도 같은 문제를 가지고 있는 것을 보면 어느나라 군대던간에 같은 문제를 같고 있는게 신기하네요
If it weren’t hard to find a decent job, get an education and own a home I doubt you’d see many if any women in the military. We need to make it easier to thrive and shrink the military by half.
@@Daniel-eu9xm however, I do know both men and women who joined the military because of lack of opportunity in civilian life - some join because they want to but others join due to lack of alternatives!
@@Daniel-eu9xm Gotcha! Best wishes!
I am saddened the services still do this. Don't join.
The Beast is finally starting to consume itself.
Very sad
Yep I’m on it … journalism
Y’all heard about what happened in Kenya?
???
What happened? I need an update
Can you explain please? I’ve tried searching but nothing is coming up for me
Nope don’t care
Not trying to start a heated argument or debate, but I'd really like to let this out:
One reason why even today people are against women serving in combat roles, is because "Men have a natural ingrained instinct to protect women, therefore a man would be too distracted because he'd be trying to protect the woman next to him." Well then, why do female soldiers (and airmen, sailors, Marines) even have to worry about being sexually harassed and/or sexually assaulted by their male comrades? Just saying...
Creeps!
Outsiders STEP UP🙏
give this video a better thumbnail it needs to be seen more
They have administrative rules against this, but it is not enforced as well as it should be!!! Some are, but very biased-based.
Best is don't join
best is stop assaulting people
the entire following is my personal opinion, based on personal experience - imagine being named alan b richmond jr, a civilian, the adult son of alan b richmond sr, who has worked with the department of defense, was a host on the pentagon channel, was the public relations / media representative for the naval post graduate school in monterey ca, worked with a large us military / defense tech contractor stromasys, worked as the public relations / media rep for the hawaii police department, was a marine who served in vietnam, was a member of the press club hawaii, was a radio / television on air personality and radio station program manager in california for decades, was a tv news weatherman in monterey ca, was a member of national press organizations, and had affiliations with the white house of the united states, attended a white house press dinner or some prestigious gathering during the clinton era, perhaps through his possible friendship with former cia director among other things, leon panetta, and myriad other affiliations / positions, and being stalked / hazed / harassed / targeted for years / months by military, paramilitary, enlisted serviceman of all branches, but especially navy, marines, army, and special force types with infrared flags on their sleeves, sexually harassed during that stalking, sexually assaulted while unconscious and during a period of very concentrated military stalker swarming, that immediately ended two days after the assault and when hospital / er sexual assault kit was conducted, and police report made, to a police station full of officers in sequim washington that include a small town boys club and of course as usual, former or career military serviceman, that also take part in the harassment and hazing, before, during, and after, one of which who in my personal opinion commits police report perjury by stating incorrect facts, and the case closed, followed by a second incident less than a month later, only to have that case closed, and be a small town harassed laughing stalk as the first sexual assault was rumored to have been filmed and perpetrated by a group of men (both cases rumored to be groups of men who had been targeting), and shown throughout the small olympic peninsula regions as an act of vengeance and humiliation for a family dispute, hate campaign,and a targeted as 'trans' and rejected male homosexual grooming effort campaign, being stalked intermittently afterwards for the following years, regardless of state / city, which include fusion center style law enforcement / military organized type collectives, reporting it to the fbi, more than once, having death threats and bodily harm throughout, and having associated celebrity, especially black celebrity types, referenced throughout (for whatever reason), with inferences or references / suggestion of quincy jones, amir questlove, jay z and beyonce, sean combs, kanye west, pharrell williams, oprah winfrey, and numerous others, especially with 'chicago' affiliation, or black music entertainment sports industries, and having nothing being done for justice. imagine being exploited all the while living in a 20 year old vehicle, that is accessed while asleep and away from it), having the car and items tampered with, and having all this occur throughout, and then having people expect one to be sympathetic to the military, veterans, or anything as such, and / or efforts of triggering by mentioning such affiliation. imagine all this occurring as a lifelong artist, musician, surfer, athlete, and attending the staedelschule hochschule fur bildende kunst in frankfurt germany, being exploited and duped by the aforementioned collectives and what in my opinion was the use and exploitation of a german model anna christina schwarz, to instigate / force fleeing life on a sailboat unkowingly previously owned by a laurence / lawrence m kerr, which has the same profile as a career washington dc military strategist / academic, and diplomat to various nations, including germany, to be marched around the streets of new york for 6-7 months while living on the streets, from the last week of december 2017 to june or july or 2018, whereby the aforementioned black celebrities were also often appearing or referenced, especially in social media, only to return to all of the aforementioned, including the eventual sexual assault / harassment.
At least seperate the victims from the violent perpetrators & the individuals that are unlawfully carrying out personal attacks and wrongful slander!!!!!!!!!!! Help the victims move them and help them to stay in their career help them when they get out with jobs financial support and medical! Stop covering up and only thinking about your he man stuff!!!!!!!!
They still want justice but don't want to give justice to themselves
nation from top to bottom to sexual assaults go unpunished, because this is a great country as excellent tradition
Those generals look like they are against this from the word go. Commanders have to see this crime for what it is but they must have evidence.
Disgusting
If I hadn't have been sexually assaulted in the Infantry at Ft. Hood, I wouldn't have gotten kicked out with a general discharge. Been sexually assaulted by multiple civilians as well. Megan Paulman needs to get punished. She entered my locked baraks room using staff duty. She also used my passcode to unlock my phone.
Heard ft hood is one of the worst places to be stationed at
To the question proposed, I would ask “why run from James okeefe and project veritas if you are not guilty?”
This is revolting smh
Amazing
And They are not terrorists.
Why did they provide a high-rank women officer for handling this?
They disgust me and im hoping that by now in 2023 there is a better standing pooint for all the victims who are and are to be for them to find true peace and justice.
Still waiting on mine.
Bruh I wanted to join the marines because it looked fun nvm 😢
They protect their own.
This is Call "American Nightmare", they still do again.
I think this was the reason America Army was badly defeated in Afghanistan. Taliban were hundred time better. Says a British journalist, Younne Riddly.

To those reading this, you’re doing great. Remember, this too shall pass ✌🏻 keep your head up high and enjoy you’re time here on earth ❤️
i wrote this when i was being abused and beaten in the navy......How can I deal with the fact that I gave my life to defend the country that I live in? Against all enemies foreign or domestic. And my enemies were ones that I stand with as Americans to fight for the freedom of mankind. Why must people hate?
Not outside of the chain of command. It must be given to actual Judges!!
Where is Sen. Gilibrand not here? Why is Ernst there?
Joni, roll down this page and then say you want the military to keep the power.
Defund the military, All this country needs is armed citizens.

I know how to stop it
Why is no one mentioning Senetor Kirsten Gillibrand??
Indian army is the best for women bcoz indians are educated morally
India is one of the most rascist country according to global map chart
😂😂😂😂😂 because in India army it doesn't report or media don't report it because of shame
Make them wear body cams
The major KEY as to why is bc they are rewarded years after a string of mat orders way long before artificially getting recalled/recruited into the secret society of the military training base camps/forts
