		<description><![CDATA[If the Academy Awards can be said to register the cultural pulse of the nation, America clearly retains its uneasy fascination with the politics and psychology of war. From the Paris Uprising and the U.S. Civil War, to the Iranian Revolution and the Global War on Terrorism, the ravages of armed conflict were well-represented throughout the ceremony Sunday. But for Ariana Klay, and other subjects of the Oscar-nominated documentary The Invisible War, however, the wounds of battle are unlikely to fade with the closing credits. In dismissing Klay v Panetta, a civil lawsuit that Klay brought against the Pentagon for failing to protect her and other service members from sexual violence, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has perpetuated a baffling tradition of depriving military personnel of basic civil rights. Like countless others injured due to the negligence or misconduct of their brothers-in-arms, Klay and her co-plaintiffs have been denied a remedy for the wrongs they suffered, simply because they were harmed during their time in uniform. While Judge Jackson, like other federal judges before her, based her decision on the premise that “the constitution vests the ultimate power to decide how the military should run itself in Congress,” it was in fact the judiciary that first devised the theory responsible for barring service members from recovering for non-combatant injuries, making it all the more important for Congress to restore its authority by correcting the incursion. In 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review Feres v. United States, a collection of three cases, all of which sought to hold the military accountable for acts of negligence under the Federal Tort Claims Act. While the plaintiffs were service members, the circumstances giving rise to their claims—a building fire caused by a defective heater, and two instances of botched surgical procedures—bore no relationship to actual military duties, and were effectively interchangeable with those yielding recovery for countless civilians. As such, they stood in stark contrast to the claims expressly barred by the Act: those “arising out of the combatant activities of<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=108309&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Army charged a general who has served five combat tours with a lengthy roster of sexual-assault and other charges last week. Why do such high-flying senior officers sometimes crash and burn like this? Brigadier General Jeffrey Sinclair remains innocent until proven guilty on charges including forcible sodomy, wrongful sexual conduct, inappropriate relationships and a trifecta of trouble involving misuse of a government credit card and possessing booze and porn while deployed (&#8220;It sounds like he pissed somebody off,&#8221; a retired Army colonel notes of the long list of alleged crimes, for which he faces court martial). But interviews with more than a dozen military officers, both retired and active duty, offer insights into such cases. &#8220;They&#8217;re GI Joes of the generals,&#8221; says one retired Army general. &#8220;They&#8217;ve got this whole combat persona that they project and use, and the Army is not set up to look past that. They can get away with a lot.&#8221; (MORE: Sexual Assault: The Danger of Isolation) The consensus is that lower-ranking troops – think drill sergeants at the Army&#8217;s Aberdeen Proving Grounds or trainers at the Air Force&#8217;s Lackland Air Force Base – live in an insular world where their word is command. Many such non-commissioned officers stay in such assignments for years, while their superiors regularly cycle in and out, eager to punch their ticket and move on. In that kind of a situation, officers often aren&#8217;t really in command. Co-ed training can lead to problems, and the wrong assortment of NCOs can become a predatory pack. The circle-the-wagon mentality shared by those on the inside can make such rings tough to crack. It&#8217;s different, military officers speaking privately say, as you move up the ranks. First of all, such misbehavior becomes increasingly risky the higher in rank the officer – there is more to be lost. Scrutiny becomes greater with each promotion. Finally, senior officers believe there are two kinds of officers: those who would never commit such acts, and those – who for whatever reason – will, and do.

		<description><![CDATA[Darlene Iskra’s post here Tuesday about a possible divers’ memorial had a link to a page celebrating female military divers. If you followed it, you might have read an excerpt from an interview with Sue Trukken, a pioneering Navy diver, about her training in the late 1970s: &#8220;&#8230;since I was small, nothing fit well. The dive dresses were too big, the boots were too big, and the breastplate stuck over my shoulders by several inches. I sewed towels into my shirts, making me look like a football player. This allowed the breastplate to sit higher, giving me some room to move my arms up. I wore my shoes covered by a pair of socks inside the boots so that the boots would not fall off of my feet. My tenders had to put three leather belts on my arms so that when the suit pressurized, the gloves would not blow off of my hands (it didn&#8217;t work).&#8221; You know that woman wanted nothing more than to be a Navy diver – ill-fitting gear or not. That’s what makes this better-late-than-never Army story so, ahem, fitting. With women now accounting for about 200,000 of the U.S. military’s 1.4 million strong force – that’s roughly 14% &#8212; it’s about time they started getting gear built for them. Women assigned to the 101st Airborne Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team at Fort Campbell, Ky., will soon be deploying to Afghanistan with body armor designed expressly for them. “Women were having a real problem with the fit of the IOTV [improved outer tactical vest],” Lynn Hennessey, a female body-armor designer, tells Donna Miles of the American Forces Press Service. “The size extra-small was too large for 85% of the females, so they weren’t getting a good fit. It was too loose and too long.” Floppy clothes are one thing, but floppy body armor leaves gaps and chinks that bullets and shrapnel too often find. It&#8217;s also tougher to wear than properly-fitted gear. Female soldiers were ending up with bruised hips, and when they sat down<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=85332&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of incoming email rounds over the Labor Day Weekend wonder why something called the Creative Arts Dance Team helped the 82nd Airborne Division celebrate Women&#8217;s Equality Day Aug. 24 at Bagram air base. You know Bagram – the main U.S. military base in Afghanistan? Where Army General Marty Dempsey&#8217;s plane was recently shelled? You know, the bullseye of the target that is the U.S. war machine in Afghanistan? &#8220;Time to pack it in, Army,&#8221; one Battleland reader wrote. Reaction in the blogosphere was split: &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to believe this division can trace its roots to the one that parachuted into Normandy during Operation Overlord,&#8221; one critic posted. Others weren&#8217;t bothered. &#8220;And the difference between this and having a marching band perform? Besides the fact that you think one is `good&#8217; and one is `bad&#8217;? Watch out! There are some kids on your lawn, circling that empty chair you&#8217;ve been shouting at.&#8221;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=83505&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Latest roster of Air Force heroes – or, as the service prefers to call them, “Portraits in Courage” – consists of 20 airmen who recently performed heroic feats, mostly in Afghanistan. They all make for inspiring reading, especially if you’re stuck behind a desk. Four of the 20 – 20% &#8212; are women. Females make up 19.1% of the Air Force’s enlisted ranks. Funny how that works out.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=81539&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
