Question: The remarks that have been made yesterday and today so far reminded me of something James Agey (spelling).
He said, "To be sick in a sick society is a sign of health," and I wanted to direct my question particularly to Mrs. Jones.
As a parent, I'm quite concerned about the empathetic children being sick and I wonder if that is a sign of health as she seemed to suggest and I
wanted to ask does a parent's support make a difference to an empathetic child. In other words, if the parent is saying what you feel is good, you're having
feelings that are right, does that make a difference to how the child feels his or her empathy and perceives it?
Question: Security Council Resolution 1325 was passed five years ago and which says that women must be protected in war and
their talents to prevent war must be used and they must be part of the rebuilding after peace. I was just at the United Nations with women from conflict zones who really
used this proposition 1325 as international law. I realize in this country we have very little concern about international law right now, but I wondered if in other
countries we found that other women were turning to this resolution and using it as a shield and as a device in more powerful war communities.
Question: Both my husband and I are service worker officers and I was wondering if you had seen any difference in whether which
parent is employed whether it be mother or father?
Question: This is for Colonel Ritchie, I was really struck by the way you said that sexual violence with the American military forces
is not a significant problem. We know in Britain that the official statistics in the air force is at 40% of women in the air force at Britain had been serious either sexually
harassed, sexually abused, or raped. I was wondering, what are the official statistics for the different services here and what is the American military doing about it?
Question: My question is for Colonel Richie, what is the status of critical incidents stressed debriefings these days at least in 2005 over in Iraq?
Question: This is alluding to yesterday in conference about women and their sexuality as a form of torture and threat, that women are being called in and told to
put their panties over the heads of detainees and I guess the question of women and sexuality and why that's being used. Second, the number in
escalation of women being raped in either Iraq, or in particular, the U.S. airforce women. I worked with the U.S. this summer and I knew there's a
congressional mandate that this was the worse they had ever seen with the number of sexual harassments and assaults that's been going on.
So if you can speak to how it is different for women who are fighting and why their bodies are being used as a form of torture and violation of threat.
Question: I'd like to comment on the same issue that we're talking about right now.
The Denver Post Study which some people may know about about sexual harassment, rape, and murder of women in the military emphasized the fact that the military
officers cannot be appealed to because sometimes they are the perpetrators or they're not interested or there's some conflict of interest or there are problems with the way
that the trials are set out by the commanders...How can you do any resetting of people with some of these symptoms [such as PTSD] without considerable time being
invested in that as well as money for professional help?
