I didn’t put any code in this article, or choose it for code purposes. Protesting the use of the military to promote human rights abuses is something that’s been on my list of things to do for a while. The conglomerate’s use of the military for code stories to insinuate that the sexual abuse of women and children is honorable couldn’t be more spurious.

2. Newblog2011: 10/24/11 The Military/Tailhook scandal
Since the sexual harassment of me started, even before it turned into a campaign to destroy women’s rights, much use has been made of references to the U.S. military. Especially, references have been made to the Navy and the Marine Corps, in everything from fictional drama to the news. Those references have almost always been used as attempts to portray how honorable and noble the conglomerate’s attacks on women are.
Maybe the people my age and older who have endorsed that portrayal have forgotten about things such as the Tailhook scandal. Here are the first, few paragraphs of the Wikipedia article about that scandal:

Tailhook scandal From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tailhook scandal refers to a series of incidents where more than 100 U.S. Navy and United States Marine Corps aviation officers were alleged to have sexually assaulted at least 87 women, or otherwise engaged in "improper and indecent" conduct at the Las Vegas Hilton in Las Vegas, Nevada. The events took place at the 35th Annual Tailhook Association Symposium from September 8–12, 1991. The term can also refer to the resulting investigations conducted by the United States Navy (USN) and United States Department of Defense.
As a result of the subsequent investigations, a number of officers were formally disciplined or refused advancement in rank. Controversially, military officers and observers have alleged that flag officers attending the symposium were not held accountable for knowingly allowing the behavior in question to occur. Military critics claimed that the scandal highlighted a hostile attitude in US military culture towards women in the areas of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and equal treatment of women in career advancement and opportunity.
