LATELY, OUR GOVERNMENT SEEMS A LITTLE TOO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT “SUBMISSION:” Criminal Charges Aside, the Air Force’s Sexual Assault Prevention Program Advises Victims To Submit.

In a bit of news that brings to mind, “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” it seems that an Air Force brochure offering advice on “Sexual Assault Prevention & Response” offers nuggets of wisdom that are … umm … just a bit awkward, in light of the arrest, for sexual assault, of the guy in charge of the Air Force’s sexual assault prevention program. Obtained and posted online by Wired, the brochure from Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina counsels victims that “it may be advisable to submit than to resist.” Aside from the atrocious construction of that sentence, that’s a hell of a bit of advice to have handed out by a program headed up by a guy who, assuming the charges prove well-founded, would probably very much like his victims on the submissive side.

This whole thing seems kinda like a metaphor . . . .
