Lt. Gen. Mattis - manhood problem in US?
Lt. Gen. James Mattis - "You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them." His comments were met with laughter and applause from the audience. Link
Whilst it is understood that the 'dehumanisation' of the enemy is a natural product of war, even more so when that war is unpopular and illegal, James Mattis would be well advised to look at the statistics regarding violence against women in America, and choose an alternative angle.
Every 9 seconds a women is beaten in the United States.
Between 3 and 4 million women are battered each year.
85-95% of all domestic violence victims are female.
Women age 20 - 34 endure the highest rates of domestic violence.
Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women in America.
Women are more likely to be attacked by someone they know rather than by a stranger.
Would it be fun to shoot US wife beaters? Or maybe just those that fail racial profiling?
