How do you write what people actually want to read?

Truthfully because I write my truths and thoughts on these questions that are available each day, but I wish that I could write the things that I feel people really need to hear and read, because this is the reality. I want to advocate for those that have been met with either MST (Military Sexual Trauma) or sexual harassment. This is always a No-Go as well as unacceptable especially when it comes to those that put their lives on the line for the country! The only reason that I want to do this is because even after 25 years of fighting for my benefits I still have not received any justice for what I went through and what others witnessed when it  came to something that was wrong happening and they were all fine with it. The great thing is that I have all my paperwork from the time I was trying to report this fucker and all they did was state “you can’t adapt to military life therefore you need to be discharged”, and might I add without it being a mental or physical disability. 

Plus I hate hearing that there are great soldiers that are getting harrassed and they’re predators are getting away with it! Example the Vanessa Guillen story, now that was very unnecessary and we need to start looking at those that develop worse problems after surviving that. I was a victim twice and they were soldiers that were in the same platoon and in charge of me. So I can say that I have been desensitized by the quote “never trust anyone!”, no doubt is the best advice that you can have because people are evil. Loyalty and respect along with manners has no discipline in mind, because people think they can do whatever the hell that they want and get away with it. I hated it the other day when I heard that there was a soldier in White Sands and th;is Corporal I believe bent down to get a drink from the water fountain and some contracted asshole grabbed him from behind and through his legs. Noooo that is wrong, thank God they got that person out of there, but shit like that is uncalled for, no matter if you a man, woman, polka-dot, translucent, gay, trans or even a little green alien there is no reason that some should have to tolerate such disrespect and grotesque nature of these people. 

For now I will stick to answering these questions, but what I just wrote is something that I really want to do, especially when I can help others after going through all the things that I have gone through. None of what has happened to myself, would I ever wish on anybody, because it’s not right and it wasn’t right when I was a little girl. My parents were supposed to protect me and they didn’t even do that, because they put into my mind that I would get in trouble if I ever said something about being molested or groped, so I have always kept my mouth shut. I mean my parents never knew I had gone through that and when they learned of my MST they didn’t care and even though I have dealt with so much pain, suffering and mental shit is because I am the sin eater of my family. I have no problem sharing my story, but I may need to come up with something that lets me know if others are interested in my story, or let me know!
