(TW: Rape) Amy Schumer is a comedian. However, a recent video she did takes on a serious issue.  http://jezebel.com/amy-schumer-realizes-military-games-are-not-fun-for-fem [login to see] A novel approach to a serious problem.

The video does get your attention.  It fired me up while reminding me of the dark truths about how the military can handle such situations.  Thanks for the link.

Hope this video gets implemented in military SHARP programs<br><br>I'm not expert in SHARP, but this MAY get the attention of some of the younger generation...still gotta get a hold of mid-level to senior leadership, though.

Wow there are so many messages here. I didn't even think about whether or not military games are not fun for female characters. I could be wrong but I didn't think commanders could reject a court martial decision. Lastly I don't think any video game manufacture will ever create a game like that. But for educational purposes, this video would seriously destroy anyones hope of reporting.
