Who Chooses Between Shame & War

The words coming out of this god damn BOBBLE head, still does NOT get run through her head first here, the blabbing of the president of this country, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

It’d been, 745 days, the President, Tsai finally, came in front of the press, and, she seemed a bit, ill-prepared, believed that the reporters are asking too many, questions.  She’d told the press to not rush, that this would NOT be the only opportunity they will have to ask her the questions.  As the online community see this segment of the interviews, they’d all chimed out loud, “if we don’t ask now, we won’t ever, get, another, chance again!”

Certainly, asking a question directly toward the president, it’s, next to, impossible, and, it’s even harder, for her, NOT to, beat around the bushes.  Like how on this day, she’d finally, spoken out loud, and for most of the responses to the press’s inquiries, she’d, slurred through her responses, or that she would, quote someone else.  On the matter of elongating the service terms, she’d told, “we need to be prepared to ready ourselves for war”, this does NOT work, because we the people see the government, in preparation for war, but not trying to, evade from it, and, more times, the government is, BEGGING for war, and kept pushing China.  And, on this mean, how would the lengthening of the service terms to a whole year, be enough?

Tsai knew she’d lacked the persuasive means, and quoted Churchill to help her out, “before being shamed and going to war, if wee choose being shamed, we still have to face up to war after the shames”.  Problem being, Churchill blurted these words out EIGHTY years ago, who wants the options of picking between shame and war?  In the harder times from before, Taiwan passed through the cannons firing of the August 23^rd back in 1958; and now, finally, there’s, peace between us and China, the president, Tsai made us pick between war and shame, what sort of a god damn logic is this?

Tsai’s quote, was used before in March by Su, her head of state; back then, they were talking over the Russo-Ukrainian Conflict in the legislature, hoping, that the people on this land, will be willing, to fight to protect our own, territory.  This is BULLSHIT, living in a free country, which citizens of Taiwan doesn’t love this, country?  The younger generations, yeah, they can go to the battlefields to fight, sure, but, the leaders needed a better sense of, direction first, which country’s leader asks the people to choose between taking in the shame, and war?

And so, the literariness of this god DAMN DICTATORSHIP stopped making sense to the people, and, Tsai may have the intentions of this particular speech to give off the effects of that of a “pep talk”, only, only WE the people don’t buy into it, and so, she’s onstage, singing her tunes, while the rest of us, ordinary people are picking up the eggs (hey, didn’t we just have a shortage of these awhile back???), the tomatoes, and, readying ourselves, to LAUNCH!

That would be how the “All for Taiwan, and Taiwan for ALL” motto, quit, working for everybody in the country, especially the younger generations of males, who are, going to be the “targets” of the lengthening of the service terms, and this is NOT going to win Tsai her popularity back, at A-L-L!

The Passing of the Torch Through a Small Computer

The heart of this serviceman from the same unit is, the most amazing thing, that’s stayed with the writer, even after so many years since he’s finished with his own, service terms in the armed services, translated…

It was 1990, when I was working as a counselor at the Marines’ Penghu Command Post, my primary work involved surveying the servicemen in Penghu, to get to understand how the soldiers were faring, how they’d adapted to the life in the armed services.  Back then, computers weren’t all over the places, it was quite rare, too expensive, not to mention, the armed services worried that the top secret may leak out, and so, we can only conduct the statistical researches manually, with a total lack of efficiency.  Every month, we would sample ten units, and, the surveys we collected were quite massive,, thankfully, in the unit I worked in, there was a small computer that was two, three times larger than the calculators, as we’d keyed in the data, then, the computer would compute out the results; I’d heard, that this was a serviceman from the years before out of the info-tech department who’d bought the machine with his own money, wrote the programs that’s being used right now, and as he was relieved of his service duties, he’d, generously donated the computer to the army, and so, every time I’d thought back, I was filled with, a ton of, gratitude.

As I’d taken over for two months, that small computer malfunctioned, and, as I’d gone back to the island of Taiwan on my break, I’d also, bought the exact same model, and wrote the programs for it, and, yet, I just, couldn’t get the computer to work like it had before.  Seeing how the work came rushing towards me, I’d started, flustering, and, I’d called up the former serviceman who’d left the original computer behind, and still couldn’t figure things out, and so, I’d not known how to resolve the issues with the calls, and so, I’d met up with the person who’d donated the computer in Taipei, so I can, better understand how to make the computer work.

And yet, as we’d met, he’d, handed me, a brand new computer, told me, that the old one had stopped working, because it’d not been upgraded in the memory disks.  I’d told him I wanted to pay him for it, he’d turned me down, convinced me, that it’d not paid quite enough in the services, that he’d started working already, that it was his way, of giving back to the unit he served in, for taking care of him during his time there, told me not to mind it.

Turns out, after two years, he’d already, forgotten the details, and to try to help me solve my problem, he’d, bought a brand new computer, to research more into it, to know what the problem is.

I’d waved goodbye to him with tears in my eyes, carrying that small computer in my arms, felt very moved by him, and hoped, that I will be able to, passing this heart of helping, this love he felt toward people, on.

And so, this older, former serviceperson had gone over and beyond the call of duty, to help this individual who was currently serving his term, and this older, former serviceperson wanted to make the work in the units easier, more efficient, that was why he’d bought that desktop computer in the first place, and, he’d, offered more than the needed help to the writer as he’d come across the troubles of the computer working well.

An Army Officer Used the Army Base as a Motel, the General’s Vehicle as Cover

How this gives the morale of the armed services, that bad, R-A-P!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

 A case of extramarital affair had been discovered in the Navy Headquarters, the female navy officer, Guan used the general’s vehicle as a cover to get herself away from the base.  The Navy Headquarters stated yesterday, that both the male and female officers involved had been given more than “two major reprimands” as punishment, and are both being evaluated for dishonorable discharge, while the sentinel guard who was keeping watch over the gates of the navy base will be evaluated for not doing his duties correctly.

The married lieutenant colonel Chen who was the secretary of a higher up general, awhile ago, got drunk outside the army base, and was helped back to the command headquarters of Dajr by a female ranked school officer, the two were accused of spending the night together at the bedroom of the North Sea Building.

The reports stated, the female officer, as she’d entered into the camp in the evenings, she was dressed in her casual clothes, the following morn, she switched to dressed up in the army officer’s uniforms, rode out of the base in the general limo, and because the sentinel saw it was the generals’ limo, he’d not stopped to identify the identity of the female officer.

The Navy headquarters stated, that this case after they’d looked into it, there’d been the breaches of the rules of operations internally, that the involved had interacted out of what’d expected as their behaviors, and they’d already called on the evaluation committee to rule over the case, and had decided to give both the man and the woman more than two major reprimands at least; and they’re considering terminating both their service terms by dishonorable discharges.

The Navy Headquarters stated, that the navy will use this case as an example, to continue to strengthen the internal management processes, the disciplines of the armed services, and the training of the sentinels and follow the strict rules of “severe evaluations, severe rulings of discharge, to keep these similar cases from recurring.

And so this, is how the immoral behaviors of TWO individuals, made the reputations of an entire unit go down the drains, and because you are serving in the armed services you are expected to have a stricter set of moral standards for yourself, and yet, you two couldn’t keep your hands off of one another, and, you’re, married, and on top of that, you had sexual; encounters with one another in the armed service vehicles too!

Do ALL the Glory Belong to Tsai?

How this president wanted that spotlight so bright, shining down on her, because she needed to, feel, important, how this country will get totally, FUCKED up, by this, bobble-head president here, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The president, Tsai went to Penghu to examine the three branches of armed services, especially assigned the fighter pilots, the battleship masters to make the speech on the encounters of the drills, to stress how bad Chinese invasion into our territory is.  She’d announced, that the Communist Chinese drones constantly harassing the islets, she’d already ordered the department of defense, to take all necessary, measures.  And surely, on that very evening, the army stationed in Kinmen started shooting at the communist drones.

and no, she still, does NOT look good, in a, camouflage or that military, helmet either!

but, she’s still, made her, “appearance” in front of the camera, under that, spotlight here! Photo from online

As the drones made its way into the army camps, and, circled around the sentinels, surely, they should be chased off, and even, taken down.  But, this sort of breaching into our territories is not the first of its kind, China had even posted videos, to shame the national armed forces.  And for an entire week, the D.o.D does, nothing, only claimed, that the systems of defense developed by the research agency will prioritize giving the machines to the islets first, and it’d caused a lot of booing.  Until the president “ordered”, the military to “shoot them down” in front of the press, the military then, started, firing.

The aerial forces of Communist China intentionally gotten into our aerial territories, with the goal of showing how incompetent, how unprepared we are, of the defense.  Something of this grade, the D.O.D. did not assign the officers on the front line to speak, to help us all feel relieved;  until the president made her rounds, then, flashed them to her side, as the “props”.  This made people question, the national security systems continued boasting about the “attacks of cognitive warfare”, is it to stop China from affecting the military men on the frontlines, or, is it, to make it look like the President is standing up against China in defense of Taiwan?  And because of this, all the glories of the glows of that halo, belonged to the, president?

Tsai is the most generous president toward the national armed forces.  But the itinerary of the head of state’s visiting the national armed forces, if it’s only for the sake of “showing off” to the press; while there’s NOTHING to be done locally, until the president ordered it, the military services, acting on its own to help defend the country’s territories, then, we the people might start to believe, that we have, what it takes, to fight off the intruders into our borders.

This “All Glory Goes to Tsai!” drama, went totally, BUST as the, “box office!”

down that red carpet, she’d, strutted! Photo from online

And so this still just showed, how we’d, voted a runway model for a president here, she’d visited the army bases, dressed in their camouflage uniforms, with the helmets and everything, to show her support to them, giving them those, empty words on, “hey y’all, good job, my brethren!”, which is still, all BULLSHIT!  I mean, we’re actually, using the sticks and stones that we pick up off the ground, to THROW at the high-tech devices (the drones!), to ward them off, are you FUCKING kidding me???  At least, the president should make sure all on the frontlines on the islets, have the fitted weapons, to defend our, aerial, border, and the seas, from Chinese invasions, but, she does NOT care, she only wants to look pretty in front of that, god damn, camera, for her needed, photo-op!

A Female Servicewoman Was Raped in the Caps by a Superior of the Mazu Defense Unit

The sex scandals in the military, during the holidays to celebrate the servicemen, how ironic!!!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

On His Day Off, Used the Excuse of Duties, and Attacked the Servicewoman, the Suspect Taken into Custody

The Marine’s Mazu Command Center had a case of sexual assault reported on the third this month, a servicewoman was attacked by Wu, a male superior, as the Lienjiang D.A.’s Office conducted the investigations and interrogations of the man, yesterday, they’d asked the courts to have Wu in custody, while the Mazu Military Defense Department started a specialist task force to investigate the matter, and will discuss the leniency in operating the units, the servicewoman who had been raped had been sent to the hospital already, and is being counseled, she is stabilized emotionally, and physically for now.

Based off of understanding, Wu during the time when the services was off on holiday two days ago, he’d used the excuse of splitting up the tasks of cleaning up the camps, to get everybody else away, demanded the servicewoman to report to him, and when he was alone with her, he’d, assaulted her, ripped her clothes open, and although the female servicewoman fought hard, she was still, assaulted by him.

Those who were on the inside stated, that afterwards, the servicewoman felt insulted, and immediately reported the matter to the superiors, and the superiors were angered, and took Wu who was involved with a higher rank into custody, and notified the investigative units of the armed services, as Wu was interrogated, he was sent to Lienjiang D.A.’s Office on charges of obstructions of sexual freedom, after the D.A. interrogated, they found him to be a known suspect of the case, asked the courts to keep him into custody, which the courts signed off on, as whether or not the victim was raped, the D.A. is waiting on the rape kit results.

Based off of knowledge, as the units were reported, they’d immediately found a female superior to accompany the servicewoman to the hospital, and to help her emotionally, and the counselors, social workers are offering therapy to the female servicewoman currently, the families already arrived in Mazu to accompany her, the female servicewoman is stabilized, emotionally, and physically, for now.

The Defense Department of Mazu stated, that the military will comply with the investigation measures by the D.A.’s Office, and use the dual principles of “punishment & reprimands”, to discuss the removal of Wu’s ranking in the military; and they will enforce the measure of military morale, as well as the education of gender in the military, to set up the right knowledge, to protect the honor of the military.

And so, women are still, victimized, because we’re, easy targets, especially in the military, there are these rapes, sexual molestation, assault cases, because we women are minorities, and, men see us as easy targets, and we get, victimized more often, and this is still a crime of opportunity that’s occurred here!

Why Power Rape Happens…

Once again, it’s about, gaining that feel of POWER over someone else!!!

Power rape is defined as a rape that occurs with someone in a subordinate position of work, by a superior, whether it’s in the armed forces, or in an ordinary office.

And, the reason why this SHIT is happening, is primarily due to the rapists LACK of self-esteem, because the rapist feels incompetent in some way (I wouldn’t know what!!!), that, is why s/he feels the need, to DOMINATE someone else, it’s a show, of how insecure the rapists actually are, and because the one being raped is usually someone who’d depended, relied on the person who rapes her/him, that, is why, chances are, that the victim usually hushes up about it, and this will only make the situation exacerbate, so, STOP operating in the mindset of, “If I just IGNORED…”, because it won’t GO away, like an untreated common cold!

Power rapes are still happening, when your bosses use her/his place in the company, to FORCE you to do something you don’t want to, that, would constitute as ABUSE, and, IF you’d allowed it to happen, over, over, AND over again, then, you’d become, the ENABLER, and, NOBODY likes an enabler, or at least, I don’t!!!

A Major General Found Guilty of Sexually Molesting a Female Subordinate, Was Court Marshalled

Women are once again, mistreated, LIKE WHORES in the armed services here, from the Front Page Sections, translated…

The former major general commander, Wen-Cheng Yang was accused of molesting a young female officer four times, the army courts, as well as the Highest Courts of Taiwan all believed, that Yang had done wrong by the rules of the army, used his status of power, to sexually molest his subordinate, found him guilty, and sentenced him to one year, two months, but he can pay a fine, without serving any real jail time.  The case can still be appealed.

Wen-Cheng Yang entered into the armed services eight years ago, he graduated from the military school in 1980, is also the younger brother of the legislator of the KMT, Li-Huan Yang; after the incident, he received one major reprimand, and was transferred to an executive position, as a board member of the army, and was alleviated of duty early.

The victim, back in August of 2012, because she was there, to do the reports of her area of work, Yang caressed her left breast; and, not long thereafter, Yang bear-hugged her, and kissed her on the lips, stuck his hand into her panties, said, “I want to see if you have any pubic hairs, if you’re clean shaven, it would be great.”  On the evening of October 16^th, Yang used the same measures, and sexually molested the woman again, he’d committed the crimes of sexual molestations a total of four times.

The victim was only twenty-one years old, at first, she’d complied with him, without wanting to, feared, that if she’d come out to the open, nobody would believe her, that she might be reprimanded, for not following the orders of her superior, and had only complained of the events to her close friends, and she’d had a melt down outside her sleeping quarters, “I can’t take it anymore!”, the victim felt that she didn’t do right by her boyfriend, and asked for a break up, and her boyfriend held her tightly, and they cried together.

Later on, the victim had finally had it, told the protections unit in the army about it, and, the court martial case was started, and Yang was prosecuted.

Yang denied the allegations, claimed that he did touch the female subordinate’s forehead with his lips, his cheeks, but he couldn’t recall each and every time clearly; and that back then, his intentions were to encourage her, to console the victim, and he’d used socially acceptable manners to touch the woman.  Yang claimed to have been set up by the female subordinate.

The military courts believed, that Yang is ranked higher, and didn’t uphold a higher standard of behaviors, had multiple times sexually molested his female subordinate, and after he was taken in, had tried to avoid the responsibilities of his own behaviors, and had not settled with the victim, but the military courts took into considerations, that the woman was willing to forgive him, Yang was sentenced to one year two months in prison, which he could pay a fine, and not serve the time.  Yang went for an appeal, and because the court martial cases were ruled as regular criminal acts, the High Courts in Taiwan, after reviewing over the case, agreed with the rulings of the military courts, threw back Yang’s appeal.

And so, here, you STILL have a man, in a status of power, forcing himself onto his female subordinate, and this, is power rape, and because the victim in these cases usually are too scared to speak up and out, that, is why they keep on being victimized over, over, AND over again, and, the reprimand or punishment this army officer received, was still TOO light if you ask me!

Using the Virginity Test to Establish Morality

This is really SEXIST, from the New York Times that came with today’s Chinese newspapers, written by: J. Cochrane…

JARKARTA, Indonesia—Colonel Sri Rumiati made her career in the Indonesian National Police, but the day she was tested for it, in 1984, is one she would rather forget.

During a mandatory physical examination, a doctor administered a so-called virginity test, inserting two fingers to determine whether her hymen was intact.

“I was not comfortable with the test,” said Colonel Rumiati, who is now a police psychologist.  “The test can be stressful on women and embarrassing.”

It mattered little that the doctor who tested her was a woman.  It felt like a violation, she said, one that does not determine virginity, that has no comparable equivalent for male police recruits and that does not achieve its ostensible goal: evaluating a recruit’s morality.

“You learn about the morality of a candidate from prosocial behavior testing,” or evaluating a person’s actions, she said.  “It’s not about virginity.”

Women who apply to be police officers in Indonesia have been subjected to virginity testing since at least 1965.

But the issue has set off heated debate here since Human-Rights Watch released a report and a video last month with evidence that the police was still in force.

The organization said it had interviewed eight current and former female police officers and applicants in six cities, including two who said they had undergone virginity tests this year.  Married women are not eligible to become police officers.

The National Police chief said last month that female recruits did not undergo virginity tests.  But hours later, two high-ranking National Police officials in Jakarta were quoted by the local news media confirming that the police force conducts the tests.

While failing the virginity does not disqualify a police applicant, she “may get fewer points if her hymen is not intact,” Brigadier General Arthur Tampi told The Jakarta Post.

Local women’s and human rights groups have demanded an end to the practice.  Last year, the head of a local education office in South Sumatra Province suggested conducting virginity tests on high school girls to discourage promiscuity and thwart teenage prostitution.  Thousands of Indonesians took to social media sites to criticize the idea, which was quickly dismissed by national government officials.

Colonel Dede Rahayu, who runs the Police Women’s School in Jakarta, said she had never heard of any of her students or staff members having to undergo the tests.

The policewomen “who said they had that tests didn’t understand what a virginity test is,” she said nothing that all applicants undergo a rectal exam and they may have confused the two.  “Or maybe the want people think they were still virgins when they joined,” she said half in jest.  “A single woman not being a virgin is taboo in Indonesia”.

So, if there’s a need for a woman to undergo such examinations, to solidify HER status, what about men?  Don’t they need to also go through a virginity test too?  Oh wait, you LOSERS don’t have HYMENS like we women do, that can clearly SHOW if you’d had SEX or not, and, this idea of how unwed, single women are eligible to become cops is still way too STUPID, and this had happened, in the modern day world, believe it or don’t!  And, hello, hello, hello, virginity is NO determinant of morality, I mean, you DO realize, that someone CAN be a virgin, and act immorally, right???

Left His Mind in the Warzone

He had, left his mind in the warzones, he went to serve as he’d turned eighteen, and, since he got back home, nothing was the same, he still got up for work, went there, from five, to nine, and sometimes, he’d stayed late nights, to work the graveyard.

Left his mind in the warzone, and he can’t get it back again.  Left his mind in the warzone, and, after the war was over, he’d gone back, to the site where he thought he’d left his mind, and, he couldn’t find his mind again, and, his mind, was lost, for good.

Left his mind in the warzone, even though, he’s back home now, he started having nightmares, and started behaving weird, and, he’d cut himself off from everybody he knew, isolated himself.  Left his mind in the warzone, there’s NO way he can get it back again, the war’s been over, for over three decades, and, he’s still in the mental institution, being treated, for his PTSD from the war.

Left his mind in the warzones, how?  After he saw so many atrocities, he kinda just got “stumped” in his mind, and, he couldn’t make his mind move an inch, out of the warzones………

The “Accidental Death” of Chong-Chiu Hong, the District Court Found, that it Was “Accidental”, the Eighteen People Involved Got a Light Slap on the Wrist

This, is the long awaited INJUSTICE, from the Front Page Sections, translated…

The case that caused dramatic changes in the military, the tortured death of a soldier, Chong-Chiu Hong got the verdict from the first trial yesterday, the Collective Courts in Taoyuan found, that Hong had died due to an accident, and of the eighteen plaintiffs, the most serious sentence was just eighteen months in jail, and, of them all, five were found not guilty; after sitting in on the trial, the mother of Hong cried and told, “It’s too light, I can’t accept this”, the white-shirted soldiers cried out, “the courts are NOWHERE near the level of court marshal”.

“We are displeased too!”, the former officer of the platoon stated, and, through his lawyers, he’d claimed, “I’m facing this head on, and I maintain my innocence”, He, Hsu, Fang, and Chen, the ones who were involved in the tortured death of the man all claimed, “Nobody wanted to hurt him, we should all be found NOT guilty, and so, we will surely go for an appeal.”

The district court in Taoyuan said that it’d respected the sentiments of both sides, that it had NO comment.  The D.A.’s office in Taoyuan stated, that they will decide whether or not to appeal after they’d received the verdict in print.

The District Court’s determinant of it was an accidental death was reliant on the coroner’s testimonies, of how the damages from the heat won’t accumulate, and that after taking a break for two hours, the man will be okay, the officers started drilling Hong at seven in the morn, and, fifty minutes later, he was returned to his regular activities, and, the drills didn’t come again until three in the afternoon, and that it was ANOTHER army officer who’d watched the men do their drills, and Hong didn’t get his heatstroke until five in the afternoon.

Shih’s testimonies cut off the cause and effect between Chen and the abuse to death, and, it’d lessened his sentence from life in prison to just SIX months, which he could pay his way out of serving hard time.

Yesterday, when the verdict was read, the group of public dressed in white shirt all stood outside the courts, supporting the family of the victim, and of the defendants, only Shen, and Liu were there, and the family of the deceased soldier were all there.

After hearing the verdict, the family sighed that they’re “disappointed”, Shen and Liu were very calm, after getting out of the courthouse, Hong’s mother had tears in her eyes, and refused to speak, the father and the older sister stated that “the law did NOT match up to the expectations of the public”, they’re thinking of appealing the case.

The one who’d gotten the harshest sentence in the case was the platoon leader, Hsu, with eight months, Shen, He, Liu, Chen, Feng, along with others involved only got six months, and they can’t pay their way out of serving hard time.  The collective courts found that they all knew that there’s NO punishment for taking a phone to the drills, and they’d still signed the papers, to send Hong into the chambers, and prosecuted them all based off of laws against using military resources privately.

And so, this, is still a SLAP on the wrist, seeing how the man D-I-E-D, so horribly, he was drilled too hard, because the superiors didn’t like the way he’d done things, and that, would be a problem in the M-I-L-I-T-A-R-Y, because you couldn’t show your individuality, you must go with the flow of the group, because if you stand OUT too much, then, you’d end up just like this guy, tortured to D-E-A-T-H!!!
