US soldiers sacrifice every day in order to see that our family friends and country is safe. Now it is our turn to look out for them. Both our men and women service members are being raped, tortured, and murdered.Surely common sense would dictate that the military would prosecute the offenders to the fullest extent of the law, and cease any harassment as soon as they caught wind of it? However this is not the case. Every year American sons, daughters, husbands, wives, family and friends in the armed forces are tortured or murdered because of gross negligence in the military infrastructure. It is our civic duty to ensure that these brave service men and women are protected and that justice is given to those who can no longer seek it. I ask you as an american, a victim of the military's negligence, and as a friend to sign this petition and demand that a civilian entity independent of the armed forces be placed within it's ranks in order to fully protect our service members and hold any personnel who fail to uphold military rules and regulations to the letter accountable for their actions, or lack thereof.  For a further background into the travesties our service members are facing please see http://www.militarysexoffendersregistry.com/Victims/The_Victims.html or Google Military sexual trauma and murder.
