The bill also empowers the president to define all other non-grave breaches of Common Article 3.

This is the end result. Habeas Corpus, bye bye. The president is in charge of all now. May your God help you if you are ever deemed to be an "enemy combatant".

If Thomas Jefferson didn't have a heart attack making it with his slave girls I doubt this would have caused it.

Using rape as a form of military domination and ethnic dilution is nothing new. But we as a culture have frowned upon it.
we as a culture, until someone steps in and defines prudence and forces it into law....

A completely agree. This is no ones fault but those soldiers. Period.

With the armed forces lowering their standards of who is eligible to enlist, we will be seeing more of this.
